What Are Shadow People?
I've heard many people talk about "Shadow People" including a post below this one. I have never seen anything of this type and don't know if they
really exist. I just want to know what people here think this type of supposed entity is and how does it manifest? I am not saying that this type of
entity doesn't exist, but I have never seen one and I just want to know what they are? What is your theory or knowledge of this type of thing?
Could they be in a home and not be visible to the person there? Could they be a warning of impending death of a person in the house? Are they evil?
What's your opinion?

My guess is they are part of the total earth changes occuring. The breaking of the veil and the spirit world able to influence the physical more. It
is said in the last days God will take away his spirit from man. In other words take away his protection as demons run rampant once again as in the
time of Noe.

I think they’re a natural phenomenon of the eye. One’s belief system turns them into something to fear, or something to ignore, or something to play
with.
| Quote: | Jearl Walker in the April, 1982, issue of Scientific American.
Walker, citing earlier researchers, calls the visual phenomena "floaters." Floaters are old red blood cells that are suspended in the fluid at the
rear of the eye just in front of the rear wall, or retina. The retina is that portion of the eye where images are focused, and it functions something
like a movie screen.
The figures seen are not actual images of the blood cells, but are reasonably good approximations. What is actually seen is the pattern made when
light rays are diffracted around a floater and recorded on the retina. |
Certain conditions make them more visible; moderate lighting and focusing on something like the page of a book, or a computer screen.
If you believe that the shadows are evil entities, your brain will give you a large shot of adrenaline that will make them appear even larger.

I personally think Shadow people are tricks of the mind, but I really haven't researched the issue to much, but I wonder if fatigue plays a part in
most cases.
For example: There is a phenomenon called "black dogs" that appear on the side of the road when a driver is extremely tired. I have seen these
"black dogs" before and they are extremely scary, they look like shadow dogs and they jump out in front of you...pretty frightening.
Maybe these shadow people are similar. It's just a thought.

Just to inform you that seeing shadow figures is not a good thing, That is a presence of negative spirit, not a good idea to get near it, i have gone
to many peoples with my medium teacher (i am still developing) and i have heard many stories of these 'shadows' pushing small children down the
stairs or sometimes even throwing objects across the room at them. If anything negative does start to happen then please do get help, a medium would
be best for this, you could try to tell it to go away as this sometimes does work BUT however, most of the time they do not like it and make it
worse.
Please do message me if you need to

I think "dark robed figures" are evil, but shadows, in my opinion, can be explained by combining the scientific method with modern medicine and
psychology.
A condition known as Pareidolia describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived
as significant.
Any number of diseases can cause the iris to reflect light, and see shadows - retinal detachment and retinopathy to name a few.
