Encounters With Shadow People

I have had several encounters with shadow people throughout my life. I detailed my experience with Hat Man in a previous post. And now I will talk about the other experiences I have had with shadow people, and the other types of them that I have seen. I will also talk about how I brought one home with me after "ghost hunting" at a cemetery, and what I had to do to get rid of it.

The most common type of shadow people I have seen all appear as a shadow form, not like a shadow on a wall, but like a human silhouette that can move around a room. Several times I have seen this type, and most of the time I see them fleeting out of the corner of my eye. Like I will see them move by in my peripheral vision. Below are a couple of photos that are pretty close to what they look like. However, even though I have heard people say they see them with eyes, and often glowing red eyes, I have never actually seen any with eyes.

There was one time that I saw one of these common shadow people where it wasn't just fleeting out of the corner of my eye. I was with some friends at Silver Cliff Cemetery doing a ghost hunt. I was walking around by myself and suddenly heard a noise in my head, sort of like a muffled grunt, and this made me stop in my tracks. Oddly, I looked down and I was standing in a dirt circle in the field of grass the cemetery is in. Then I looked over to my right and saw a shadow person peering around a tall headstone watching me. It was leaning around the right side of the headstone, and when it saw me look at it, it quickly hid all the way behind the headstone. I thought that was very interesting, and then went back to the group to tell them all what I saw. But that wasn't the end of it because over the next few days I kept seeing a shadow person at my apartment, and apparently had brought this one back home with me. I did some research and found out that dragon's blood resin is like a nuclear bomb and will get rid of basically anything that is haunting you. I happened to have some dragon's blood resin, and burned it, letting the smoke clear the area. It worked, and I didn't see that shadow person anymore.

There is one final encounter I want to talk about, and this shadow person was a different type. I called it a "Shadow Troll" based on its appearance. It had a hat, sort of like Hat Man, however the hat brim was a lot longer. It was also very short. The typical shadow person looks about the size of an average adult. But this one was only a few feet or so tall. It also had a long and prominent nose. It kind of looked like a shadow person version of the Penguin from the older Batman Returns movie.

But the Shadow Troll was more than just a sighting. It seemed to be messing with my little kids, causing them to wake up scared during the night sometimes. I didn't know why at the time, but they kept waking up crying and scared once or twice a week. Then one night I was looking down the hall and I saw the Shadow Troll run by from right to left, which was from a bedroom and into the bathroom. In another incident, I was going towards the bathroom and saw long shadow fingers move through the crease between the open door and the wall, and then grab the door. After having both of these sightings, it occurred to me that this thing might be causing the problems with my kids waking up at night. So I burned dragon's blood resin and again it was successfull at removing the entity, and the Shadow Troll was gone and my kids stopped waking up scared in the middle of the night.

The "Shadow Troll" looked kind of like a shadow version of this Penguin
