For those of you who weren't here or don't remember, back in 2002, I made a topic about Shadow Creatures. It got a hell of a lot of posts in it and I should have saved it, if nothing else for other people's accounts of what happened to them.

Basically, I was in bed one night when I started hearing soft chanting. I could sense evil all around me. For some reason, I looked at my window, and through the curtain, I could see a shadow of someone or something with a huge head, and pointy things on both sides of its head. I couldn't tell if they were horns or not. The chanting was hard to explain. It wasn't easily 'heard', but I could hear it. I can't explain it. It basically sounded like voices that were so quiet, that I couldn't tell if I was imagining them, or if I heard them. I then got a fear so intense, my whole body started going into a cold sweat and I felt so sick. My head had such a pounding headache. I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. Now, from outside, my window is at least 7 feet off the ground. With the clarity of the shadow, it was probably about 2 feet away from the window, and with the spot of the head on the window, it was probably about 7 ft, 8 in. - 8.5 feet.

I had told a few trusted friends of mine, and a couple weeks later, he said he took his dog out at night to do its thing in the backyard, when he had a similar experiene. He could hear chanting, and his backdoor which he had left open, slammed shut violently. The dog ran back inside through the dog-trap door. He went outside to check it out but couldn't find anything.

A couple months later, it came back, and that was all I had seen of it. I had long since dismissed it as a scary dream. But about a month ago, I saw the exact same shadow on my window, and then after about 10 seconds, it continued on. I then had to accept the possibility that it wasn't a dream. This didn't sit will with me, because I was so freaked out by it. I couldn't post anymore on the topic because I had failed a couple tests and I was grounded from the computer for a while. :(

Some of you are probably going you just made a topic like this a while back. Yeah I did. But I only did cuz I saw 'it'. again. Same story for now. I saw it last night.

Both the first time I made this topic, and the last time, MANY people had had the exact same experience. I now know for a fact that this thing exists. I'm going to conduct a little investigation on sightings of this creature.

From what little I've done so far, I can say with confidence that this thing exhibits little or no characteristics of 'shadow people'. Maybe the name I dubbed it is inaccurate, but all I saw of it was its shadow. Shadow people seem to be like a mist that moves by its own free will. This thing is a physical manifestation.

One of the other posters in my previous topic said they were at a friend's house when something just like this appeared, and it scraped the window, indicating a physical entity, then continued on to their backyard, and in the morning, they found their dog brutally killed in a pile of guts and blood.

Now, I've spoken to several of the town's oldest folks, the ones who have lived here their whole life. They all agreed on one thing: Back when the town's forefathers founded the town, there had been some land nearby that they avoided. But they didn't know why. Back in the 70's, my housing development was built. Before I continue investigating this, I want to know if this is consistent with any Indian legends or curses?

I took for granted those experiences of people in the past. I should have saved those topics for reference.

If ANYONE has had any experience with one of these creatures, please post. I need all the evidence and information possible. I'm no Mulder, but I'll do my best.

"O to be a dragon...of silkworm size or immense..."

I've seen a shadow beast, only it was inside my house and it wasn't huge.

My room is in the basement. It's a large rectangle, with stairs splitting the middle. My room would be in the lower right, the stairs come down to the lower middle

You dig? Alrighty. The X represents where I saw it.

I woke up in the middle of the night for no reason, it just felt like something was wrong. I looked around my room, and by the stairs I saw a shape. It looked like a human crouched down. While I was looking at it and trying to figure it out, it stood up. Nothing I can type out will be able to describe my fear. I was literally frozen. I wanted to run, but I was scared that it would reach under the stairs and grab me. So I stared at it, eventually the light shifted and I couldn't see it anymore, so I stared at where it should be, prepared to make my move if it made it's. But when day light started to come in the windows, it was gone, no where to be seen. I slept on the couch for weeks. Eventually, I convinced myself (as well as one can) that it was a dream and moved back down to my room. I have never seen anything like it again.

I'm gonna take a smurf in your mouth ho! - Charles Bronson

Back when I was in high school, (now in college) I was sleeping in my bedroom. I always had the radio on when I slept. I woke up and heard no music only static. Then I heard some really demonic moaning coming from the radio. That freaked me out pretty badly.

Later that same year I awoke to see something sitting on my lamp by my bed. It sort of had a gargolye look to it. Naturally after blinking it was not there. I told myself it was a dream.

The scariest thing happened the same year also. I awoke to see my bedroom door was opened and someone was looking at me. All I could see was a man's figure and he was wearing one of those flat-topped round hats like from the 1920's carnival barker. I forced myself to keep my eyes on him while I reached for my lamp. I had my eyes open the whole time and when I turned on my lamp, my door was not open and there was nobody there.

Damn these experiences are giving me chills.

In 100 years will you be remembered? 100 seconds from now I won't be...

I was the one who said the dog was killed in the last topic.

I was at my friend's house, and about 10pm, we heard something outside. We turned off the light. Keep in mind his house is right on the edge of some woods. We turned the lights out so whatever was outside could not see our shadows and see us looking out.

We turned the lights out and let our eyes adjust to the darkness. The moonlight cast a big shadow on the window, and it scraped the window, making the most horrible sound ever. It made us cringe. My friend and me were the only ones at his house at the time, making the whole ordeal terrifying. My friend, being a braver soul than I, got his shotgun loaded and went out his outside cellar door by the ground. What he saw, he said, was the worst sight of his life. He was a brave person. He has skydived, parachuted, ran with the bulls, and mountain climbed, and etc, and he got back inside not even firing a shot.

He was shaking so bad I thought he was going into shock, but I'm no doctor. I helped him onto the couch. All he woudl say was he saw a big dark looking creature with some kind of armor with spikes on its shoulders.

In the morning, we found his dog brutally killed. All that was left of it was a pile of blood, guts, and fur. The skull had been crushed to pieces.

Man... If that thing did that to my dogs... I would go on a suicide mission against it... But then again my dogs sleep inside and sometimes right next to me.... But that probably wouldn't matter if it has a unnatural power of extreme fear.. I would still probably run if given the chance...

1 word... Blinds... Can't fear something you are completely unaware of... But then again... It could kill ya if it wanted to.... Like not paying attention to politics... They could come back and kick ya in an unrelenting place...

Just don't think about it.... Besides it could be related to a place like a town... Or state (province or other large areas within a country).. Which is why I want to know where everyone is... To see if it is related to a specific place.... And then investigate some other time..... If I got the "Guts"... Bad pun that I just realized and I am sorry for your dog.. It makes me angry hearing of it... But I was referring to courage as you may know....

I live in Massachusetts (I'm not gonna tell you what town, cuase I don't want you to send me plastic wangs or something.) and I've been Scared ****less because of a shadow creature. Me and my friends had just gotten back from seeing Jeepers Creepers 2. Then, my girlfriend decided to look out the window and screamed. I asked her what she was looking at, and I looked. I immediately wished I hadn't. It took me a second to adjust to the darkness, but once I did, I saw something remotely similar to the Jersey Devil, only it was completely black, and perched on top of the shed in my backyard. We watched it for about five minutes, it just stood there, but we knew it wasn't a tree or something because it was moving in a human-esque way. I finally worked up the balls to get my hunting bow out of the garage, and it was still there when I got back. Me and one of my friends are both tough Scottish guys, so we went out about five feet, all the while watching it. I got ready to shoot at it, and I did. What happened in the next two seconds got me about an inch away from wetting myself. I shot at it, I swear to god the arrow went right through it, and It swooped down toward us, flying upward about 20 feet away. Of course, when the arrow went through it, we were already inside, with the door shut, but we all basically saw it swoop, unless it was an optical illusion. We spent the rest of the night huddled together on the verge of tears.

I was waling home from school one day with a friend, when he swore he could feel someone walking behind me. We turned around, but no one was there. All of a sudden, it got darker like instantly. It went from being a sunny day to storm clouds and almost as dark as night time before we could get home. This wasn't normal, and I started imagining things. I always took a shortcut through some patches of trees which was kind of like a mini woods. There was sort of like an arch shaped path through it, and I looked behind me again, and this time, I saw something jump into the bushes. I then got freaked as hell and started running home. I then saw the thing standing in front of us. I lost it. My friend and I were now totally freaked out. We weren't imagining this. The thing started walking toward us taking steady strides, but with the situation, it was too dark under the shadows of the trees to be able to make out exactly what this thing was. It had some kind of armor on and there were spikes on his shoulders.

It looked like he had a sword that he was slowly drawing up, but I couldn't tell. My mind and heart were racing, and he wasn't swaying to his side at all when he walked. It was perfectly straight and his strides were a little longer than medium sized, and he was walking at a steady, confident pace, like he was dominating the situation.

My friend took off running back the way we came. The thing started running way too fast to be human. We jumped in the bushes and rolled down a hill onto the street below us. A car almost hit us, and we ran back to his house.

True story.

"Next time throw yourself in and rid us of your stupidity!"

There was one night I was sleeping on the couch at a friend's house in the living room. I woke up and couldn't sleep. I don't know why, but for some reason, I walked over to the curtain, and pulled on the cord. I just had the feeling like something was controlling me. I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't stop.

As I pulled open the curtain, there was this huge black creature whose skin looked black and like tar. It was right up to the window, and I could see its breath on the window. I instantly screamed, and I'm sorry to say, I wet myself.

My friend's parents came running out to see what had happened and turned on the lights. I was crawled up in a ball, and was shaking so bad, I could hardly even breathe, let alone talk. I know the thing was real. There was no way I could have imagined that.

Somehow, I told them that there was a black monster outside, and they looked out and nothing was there.

They called my mom and she came over and took me home.

This happened a few years back... Two or three according to my nifty math skills. ; ). Well, anyway...

It was a Monday and that meant my little brother had to be at CCD class for 6pm or thereabouts. Because he had this class, my mother always cooked dinner really early because we can't have our wittle babby going to CCD class on an empty stomach?

My family ate dinner and it was time for my brother and mother to go. I waved farewell. My dad went to bed (he has to go to bed really early for work). I was all by my lonesome in my house.

Having nothing better to do, I went into my basement to play around online. I came to gamefaqs and then went searching for a Nintendo emulator and some ROMs (Zelda ones if you care to know). I found the emulator and ROMs and downloaded 'em.

I signed off the internet and started to play my newly obtained ROMs. Actually, Zelda II.

I happily played without a care in the world. I reachd the first dungeon, Parapa Palace, when I heard a knock on the door behind me.

Wait! The room... It's like this. In one of the corners is the computer where I sat. While facing the computer, there is a glass door that leads outside. Oh, and the blinds were opened. I didn't like having 'em open, but hey, I'm a lazy bastard. ; )

Now, where was I? Ah, yes. I was in Parapa Palace when I heard the first knock on the glass door behind me. I turned around and saw nothing. I returned to my game.

Seconds later, there is a knock on the door again. I turn around and see nothing.

This game continues for a few more rounds...

Finally, there is a knock, and I turn around quick enough to see a fuzzy, white hand (as if I was looking at it through a pane of water or something) slink behind the wall.

I was royally freaked and bolted up the stairs. I remained up there until my mom and brother arrived home. I asked my little bro if it was him, but he said, "No! I was at class! Duh, Ryan!!"

The next day I looked around where the hand's owner would've been standing... It would've been a rock wall hidden by a wall when looking out from the computer room. There were no footprints... No disturbances. No sign that anything was out there.

Man, this was a weird coincidence. This is the second or third time I told this story in one week. O. o

Well I know one myth that might make sense with these shadow things. Has anyone hear ever heard of tar babies? I believe back in the days of slavery the slaves were terrified by things that were black like pitch (hence the name tar babies). I dont really know if this is true but I spent half my life being terrified of them thinking they came from tar (I live in the caribbean, lots of salt ponds that instead of mud on the bottom have tar). Otacon did you read the topic on robokido? Its hilarious.

Bonjour ! Allez rapidement au poulet magique.

Aight, I see no reason to not believe this, so here's my advice.

1. Don't do anything stupid.

2. Research why no one would go where you live. Ask around, look it up, etc.

3. Don't freak out and get paranoid. This would lead to you breaking suggestion one.


Good luck, sounds like you'll need it.

A single candle shines brightly in a room full of darkness. -DoomPenguin

http://ghoststudy.com/new5/shadows.htm

I think that I might have had an experience with a shadow thing, or whatever you call this desecration. So, I decided to spend a portion of my summer vacation in the small town of Avon. I was going to live with my cousins in the forest. (They were not hill bily's, they had a huge cabin and whatnot...) Anyway. After a while they (both my cousins) told my about the strange thing that lives in there house. Soon I knew what they were talking about. After spending a few nights there I started hearing noises. All kinds of noises. Chairs moving in the kitchen, stuff in the cupboards moving, footsteps. (keep in mind we were alone in the house.) I was so scared ,and what made me ever more scared was the fact that the noises kept getting closer and closer. Then one night, after we had just watched a movie in one of my cousin's rooms I saw something in the reflection on the T.V. It was right after we had turned it off. It was this tall black thing that looked like it was wearing a long trench coat, or something. It was blury and I couldn't make out any more features than that. It was only for a second and then it was gone. Well, we royaly freaked out. We broke out the religious statues and started prying and all that jazz. About an hour passed. It was about 1:30 am. We decided to get some sleep. we were about to go to sleep when the T.V. turned on. Then It turned off. My cousin started hyperventilating. I needed to get his inhayler, because he couldn't move becaiuse he was so scared. I was pretty scared to so I couldn't move either. Suddenly the TV started to turn on again. Then it turned off. Then the tape ejected from it. By then I had had enough of that. I ran over to the TV and turned it off. Then I felt something touch me. I was to freacked to care. I ran out of the room grabbed the inhayler and ran back. My cousin recovered. We just sat and looked around the room for about two hours. e tought it was over. We turnded out the light and got in our beds and we were franticlly trying to sleep. Then I saw it. It was the shadow again. It was about 7- 8 feet tall and it was moving! it went toward me, then back to my cousin (who refused to open his eyes no matter what I told him. ) Then it (the shadow) floated over to the door. Crouched down, and left. It didn't bother us again.

It was I! I cooked the hot pocket!
mwwwaahahahahahahahah!

Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't move, saw a black figure staring at me for what seemed like 5 minutes, no noises, just staring. We both just satyed still and eventually it just disappeared. Never had any other experiences since..that was years ago...

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Wait, nvm what I saked just htere. I think I know what you mean. After reading some of the other posts, I think I can remember some compressed momorys or somthing like that.
Now, I'm not sure this is happining, becasue All I remember is me remembering this a while ago. I think I made a topic here a while ago asking about memory problems and dreams.

Anyways, I swear I dont know if this happend or now, but it feels real.

ANyways my memory goes like so:

I'm walking down the road in the snow. (I live in Canada by the way)
And All I feel is this chill down my back. And its not from the cold, as it wanst that cold out. (it was only -10)
I look behind me just to see if anythings there. And I just stop. All I can see is darkness, so to speak. A black transparent creature, that has to be at least 8 feet tall, was gently gliding towards me.
I just fall down, staring into the part that I would think to be a face. (it had no eyes or anything, it was just a shadow)
I look around, for any signs of other people. THere was two. One girl across the street, and a man behind me. Nether of them seems to notice the thing.
I wanted to scream, but I couldnt, I was frozen in fear. IT stopes an what I beleve to be just a few feet away from me, it was hard to tell as it was in the evening. It raised a hand, with what lookes to be three giant claws, and one small one. Kinda in the way an animals paw is, but the claws were huge.

It pointed up with one hand. I was still just frozen there, not knowing what to do. It thrusts its arm upward again, and I look up, I see the moon, but it was orange. (You know, has every couple of months or so, the gases in the air seem to change the moons colour?)
Ilooks back at it, and it heads right through me. THROUGH ME! All I could fell was a tingle, like when your leg falls asleep, but all over. After I wanted to turn around to see where it was going, but I couldnt. I was paralied there for a good tem mineuits of so. I got up when some guy passed me and asked if I was ok. My voice cracked and I said, "I, I dont know." I had tears down my cheeks, and I ran the rest of the way home.
After a few weeks of staying up all night and sleeping throuout the day, I convinced myself it was nothing.
....

Thanks alot guys, now thanks to you, I'll be up again, all night.

But what I now want to know is, whats with the moon. Its was like at the 3/4 point of its phase that day IIRC.

I hate you all for scaring me like this again, but again, I will say, I'm not sure if this really happend or not.
