It could just be a shadow of a branch, and you probably have some sort of animal living inside your walls. No shadow creature, sorry.

Last night, I thought I saw one run past my window. I got so freaked out, untill it was just my neighbour coming over to talk with my step-dad. This topic still scares me.

Lets spell crap c...r...a...p... crap!

A dark shadow, when up close, looks like a deep black, like tar. 7-8 feet tall, sometimes wearing spiked armor or having wings. Head/face is long, somewhat like a horse, and near the top/sides of the head, there's darkness that resembles horns or possibly ears. Large claws. No actual physical details. Seems to emit a feeling of evil. Has a screech that seems to be like screams in harmony with each other. Speaks in whispers, barely audible, may possibly be Latin.

By that discription, would it happen to look anything like this creature? Though abit darker of course.

It is only our ignorance of the extent of pleasure that damn us.

I've decided to think back to my days as a toddler and remembered about one time that scared me half to death. I was about 6 and I woke to the pitch black in my room (not sure what time it was because at the time, I didn't have a clock in my room) which was very unusual because I had a night light. The moon was shiny really brightly through my window and right in front of my cloest, which is on the opposite side of the room, I could just barely make out the silouhette of something, however, I couldn't see any specific features to it. Then it stood up, it's head was almost touching the sealing. He resembled the nike mascot guy or whatever except a little bit more muscular, taller, and bigger. At that point I was scared stiff. I thought to myself that maybe I could run out of my room and into my parents room before he could grab me. So I made a dash for it. I ran like lightning into my parents room and I didn't see any trace of it ever again. I was really little and REALLY paranoid of everthing at the time but I do remember the large shadow.

Here's where it gets really weird.

A few days later or weeks (can't remember) I woke up again in the middle of the night except this time, I could see absolutely nothing and I kinda needed to go to the bathroom. So I felt around the wall for the lightswitch and turned it on. I still couldn't see anything. So I turned on the rest of the lights in my room. This is what really scared me because when I turned on all the lights I still couldn't see anything. I knew it wasn't that the lights were out because I could see a very slight change in color. EVERYTHING looked like shades of gray. I could ONLY make out shapes but nothing else. At this point I was beyond scared, I thought I was losing my eyesight and that I was going blind. To best describe what everything looked like I'll explain. You know what happens when you flip to a channel when you don't have that channel and you get the snow? That's exactly what everything looked like except that it was more fine. So I called out for my mom and dad because I was that scared but they're heavy sleepers and never woke up. So I laid down in my bed and cryed myself to sleep. I woke up the next morning and everything was fine. Color was restored and everything.

Could these events be connected?

I've also been hearing a lot about tall shadow creatures with hats. If you think back to the Salem witch trials, didn't some of the people say that a tall man with a large hat made them sign the devil's book. Isn't that a weird coincidence?

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed - Mao-tsi-tung

I used to have experiences with these "shadows" ALL THE TIME. I'll just list some as I remember them.

1. One time I was in a computer programming class. To my left was a wall, and behind me were more desks and computers. The basic shape was like this:

|
|===============
| ^ ^^
|===============
| * ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
|===============
| ^^^^^^^^
|===============


The ^s are people and the =s are computer desks. The * is me. This isn't exactly how it was, but it's basically it. I was just sitting at teh computer doing my work (or maybe not, I can't remember) and suddenly I felt a prescence move behind me. That's the only way I can describe it. I spun around and looked behind me to see no one. I then turned to the side and said to my friend nearby, "Did you see that?"

He responded with, "Yeah, you saw that too? I saw some red shape out of the corner of my eye."

Then I made it clear that I hadn't actually saw anything, but felt it, and I wanted to know if he saw something.

I just want to note that the teacher was not in the room, the students were all focused on whatever they were doing on the computer, and all the lights were on, like normal. This incident was just kinda weird feeling.

2. I was sitting at my computer just doing my thing, after dark, when suddenly I get a strange urge to look over, and what I see is some white shape, about 7 and a half feet tall, just floating outside of my sliding glass door, pressed against it, probably. This door was right next to the dining table, which had a fan above it, and all four of it's lights turned on all the way. So basically, this thing had tons of light shining on it, but still it's shape was just a vague blob. Its height and width matched the proportions on a humanoid, but I couldn't make out any actual features of any kind.

Right after making visual contact, the thing started being enveloped by strands of black, where they just swirled around it's cylindrical body followed by more and more until the thing was gone.

For some reason, this didn't scare me at all. In fact, I felt happy for some reason, and I couldn't help but smile. I felt like I had just seen my guardian angel or something.

Holy crap. If there's an afterlife, and I get the chance, I'm so gonna try to posses a baby and continue living.

Wow, I read the first page and the last page, and it's around 1 AM, and it actually freaked me out, causing me to turn around and check my room for stuff. I think I was actually expecting to see something. Heh, weird, I usually don't get freaked out like that. I've had experiences where my dad has seen a ghost and I believe I saw one when I was younger, but it's kinda been put to the back of my mind as being immature and just imagining something since I was only like 11 or 12.

But I was just gonna say I hope I get around to reading all this. I've been planning on doing some research (maybe a book) on conspiracies/paranormal activities, and this looks pretty interesting. I just wonder who here is actually telling the truth and who is just playing around. Anyway, just saying this topic is awesome from the two pages I've read, and I'll try to read more later on.

(continued from last post)

3. My family had just bought a new house, and we had spent the last two of days moving our stuff in. The people there, were me, my brother who was just visiting to see the place, and a navy guy who was a family friend, that happened to be renting space at our last place, and now this one.

My brother and the navy guy were talking about something in the kitchen. I walked down a hallway into the navy guy's room to go out his door and get more stuff from a vehicle we were using to move stuff, since the room just happened to have an outside door. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that his outside door was open. I thought that it was strange that either of the other guys would leave the door open, since it was a bit chilly, and it was dark. Regardless, I went towards the doorway to step out and grab stuff, but then I saw something outside.

Whatever it was, it was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

After that, I blanked out. When my consciousness came back, I was walking away from the doorway, as if nothing just happened. In fact, I didn't even realize anything had happened out of the ordinary until the next day. The next day, I went walking out of the door, and the memory stuck in my head suddenly, like being slapped in the face with a tremendous blob of chewing gum.

The mere memory of what I had seen sent chills down my spine, along with feelings of death and fear. About twenty -five feet away, I saw a humanoid creature, seven feet tall or taller, pitch black, and it's body looked like it was covered with scales that stuck up from its body at thirty degree angles, the scales were about as wide as a can of soda, and they had the texture of pine tree bark. That said, I could imagine how the protrusions from it's body would appear to be spikes. It had piercing yellow eyes, that probably glowed, since I could make them out very well, even from where I was standing. The big thing is that I didn't have any trouble seeing this thing's body at all, because in some trees behind it, there was a light coming down exactly like the light you see from orangish street lights. I don't know why there was light there, since there isn't anything even close to that spot that could output light.

The emotions coming from this memory begin where I first looked out and saw this thing, and start to intensify even further, but I'm not exactly sure what happened next. The thing did something. I know that it let out a scream, but that part of the memory (the sound) is really cloudy. I could see it's mouth come open, but I don't have any memory of what was inside. Next, I'm pretty sure that it expelled some sort of energy towards me, since I have images of a bunch of orangish golden light coming from it toward me. Whenever the light hit, I lost my eyesight, because my visual memory cuts off there sharply. It felt like my body got knocked away, and my soul remained in place. That is EXACTLY how it felt. I dunno if that really happened, but right then is where my memory draws a complete blank.

I went and talked to my brother and the navy guy about it a day or two later, and for some reason, they weren't surprised at all! O_O At this point I had only remembered seeing the thing, and the fact that I had a black-out. My brother brought up stuff about seeing things that would jump out from around corners when he was little, would do a little dance, and then jump back and be gone.

Holy crap. If there's an afterlife, and I get the chance, I'm so gonna try to posses a baby and continue living.

(continued from last post)

The navy guy on the other hand... he seemed to know precisely what it was that I was describing. He even had a name for it. He said they were "Lopers", and that they were everywhere. He also said that what they do is feed off of energies that people give off. They choose specific people, and specific types of energy. They dwell around homes doing this, and most of the time, all they do is drain enough that people feel fatigued. Some of them go too far, and make people feel sick. Some of them are even worse, and steal small children or babies, for who knows what. Apparently, they are attracted to areas of high stress because of the heightened emotional energy, but they don't go to places like cities because of constant light, and other reasons he didn't mention specifically.

The deal is, many will actually cause people to feel a certain way, and then feed off of the resultant energy. For example, they could spook you, and then feed off the fright, while at the same time, heightening that particular emotion. There could be nice ones that do nice things and feed off of happiness, but that is unlikely.

I was utterly shocked that this guy knew about all this stuff, and I personally completely believe him, especially after the encounter that caused me to consult him in the first place. I was scared of the dark for months afterwards.

4. This incident actually happened before any of the other ones, but I just remembered it.

One night I woke up thirsty, so I got up and stepped into the hallway outside of my room, heading towards the kitchen. Before I got farther than the area right outside my door, I saw a dark shape, even darker than the darkness all around me, which was barely enough to make out the hallways white walls. This darker-than-dark shape hovered down the hallway in my direction, and acting on some weird instinct, I spread my arms and legs to block it from going any further, at which point it stopped. Upon realizing that whatever happened wasn't just my imagination, I made motions with my hands like "just kidding" and then did an "after you" motion toward my bedroom since that's where I thought it was going. Amazingly, the shape passed right by me, coming within just a couple inches from my body. Afterwards, the best way to describe what I felt was: WTFLOL?

5. This incident is also from before I moved. I was sitting in my bedroom playing video games during the day, with bright sunlight flowing in through the window behind me. Suddenly, I saw a very defined shadow of a small head suddenly pop up really really fast in the sunlight, and it stuck it's hand up and waved, really really fast. Then it dropped down again. When I saw this, I paused my game, and tried to look behind myself, but I couldn't bring myself to look much faster than if I was balancing a book on my head, while being wide-eyed the whole time. Once I was looking backwards however, I immediately jumped up and stepped to the window, to look for anything or anybody running away. There were no signs at all. The worst part is that the thing's shadow showed that it was about the size of a child, and my bedroom window was 14 feet off of the ground.



That's it for now I guess. ^_^

When my dog barks at nothing, I tell it to shut the **** up. That is so annoying.

At my nan's house, a few weeks back, my dog started doing that. He got up and whined and backed towards us, without taking his eyes off the spot. I looked, and saw this myserious, grey/blue mist that had spooked my dog. Then I realized it was my grandad smoking, and THEN I realized my dog is a bit of a wuss. Right now, as I type, he's trembling under my legs because of fireworks. >_>

But these stories, real or not, are seriously creepy. I didn't read the latest ones, but... grazzah

I have another theory about these 'shadow creatures.' I don't think that they're entities of holy and unholy origins but actually a species of alien. Think about it. Don't most of the stories sound like the creature is actually examining them secretly?

There are some stories in here that I don't believe at all, such as the one about the thing trapped behind a door that got stabbed, and the story about the thing that attacked some guy and his brother, and the guy threw a knife at it and his dad shot at it and it ran away with his dog on its arm and stuff.

I used to think it was some demon coming from a different dimension.

I don't know how many of those stories are real, but I am sure some are. I have come to these theories:

It's obviously dangerous.
Most of the time it comes out at night.
It seems to instill extreme fear in its victims.

Has anyone who encountered any shadow creatures live near an indian burial ground? Or sacred Indian land?

I think my neighborhood was build on or near an indian burial ground from what I have read about. I hear indians buried their dead around here, according to local legend.

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

Ok the freakiest thing just happened. I was just sitting here looking at a link from a while back in some Willard Ghostcam topic, when I saw something moving outside.

I looked out real fast, and saw a dark figure kind of floating above the ground through a real shadowy part of my neighbor's yard across the street. I was watching it, then it suddenly disappeared behind a street lightpost.

I definitely saw something, and it wasn't human. Perhaps it's one of these shadow creatures. That's the wierdest thing I ever saw.

This topic rocks and it kind of freaks me out I'm afraid to be alone in the house now all of the stories sound true (except for the one where the guy said he talked to it and told it he wasnt afraid and the one where that girl said she made a force field around her)

*?If I had one bullet, would I shoot you, or would I shoot me?*

I only have one thing even resembling a paranormal experience in my life, and it's fairly unimpressive as far as the stories here go, and I can't claim it was anything "unmistakable," as I actually feel that's most likely what it was, just my eyes playing tricks on me.

It was 3:30 in the morning ( but I hadn't just awoken or anything, I'm always up pretty late/early) and I was on my computer when I realized I was thirsty.

I went downstairs ( which was pretty much entirely dark, except for some slight, residual light from the bathroom downstairs and a bit of light from the hallway leading downstairs. Just enough to see where you're going, basically.

I went into the kitchen, turned on the light, refilled my glass of iced tea, turned off the light and started walking back towards the stairs.

Now, the room is dark, but there seemed to be a roughly 6 foot tall manshaped blob of space that was just darker than all the space around it, sitting there between me and the staircase in the center of the room. When I say manshaped, I don't mean specifically manshaped (as in obvious limbs/head) but more of just a dark form.

It's hard to explain " I saw dark in the darkness!" but it was just *darker* than all the space in front of it, behind it and on both sides of it. And it wasn't a corner or a wall, it was in the center of the room. And it didn't move at all but it felt... imposing. It was standing between me and where I wanted to go, and I had to walk through it to get there.

Being a logical person I just said "Screw it." I closed my eyes ( ok, not too logical, I suppose) and walked through it, and back upstairs.

Despite it really not being that big a deal, as it coulda just been my eyes ( and most likely was), I was kind of freaked out and wanted to talk to somebody, relay what I had seen, but as soon as I got back upstairs my cable modem was out, which did not at all make me feel better.

About 35 minutes later the cable came back on, and that was it. Not particularly compelling, I realize.

One night last summer two friends of mine and I were just getting ready to leave a party at around 11:30. We all biked there from my house and were going to bike back to my house and stay the night, by the time we left it was pitch black. It was about a 5 mile bike ride back home going through an old bike path through the woods. Think were fine until we reached the very end of the bike path where it connected to the main road to town. Off in the corner of my eye I saw a blackish human-shaped figure standing a few feet back into the woods. I stared at it the whole time as we coasted past,as I stared it raised its arm and pointed at my friends and me. then bolted off into the woods. You could hear the branches cracking and leaves crunching as it made its way into the woods. Right after that my friend said "Dude did you just ****in see what I just saw?????" and to my suprise all three of us saw w/e it was pointing at us. I dunno if it was just somebody playing a joke on us or a "Shadow Creature."

The next day I was going somewhere and I was thinking about what happened the night before. I started talking myself into believing I was just seeing things and it was no big deal, you know how people do that. So I was driving by this field and thinking I had overreacted the night before and all of a sudden one of the shadow people ran out in front of my car and disappeared right before the headlight would have hit it. It scared the crap out of me, more so because it happened in the middle of the day and I got a very good look at it and I couldn't talk myself into believing I was just seeing things that time.



The same thing happened to me when I was younger, only I was a passenger in the car; I was sitting in the front seat, my mother driving and my sister behind me in the back. We were driving down the street, I can't remember where we were going, but I do remember where we were. Anyway, out of the corner of my eye I saw what looked like a person running full speed into the street from a yard, so I screamed and told my mom to stop the car, which she did by slamming on the breaks. So we look around and there is no one around. No one really said anything, but I defended myself a little and we kept going.

I had posted about this a while back and Orlock suggested I look into a vehicular death in the area, but that's easier said than done, I did find out that someone had been hit there, but no info on how badly the victim was injured.

I feel my sighting was either;
A replaying of the accident, just within the visible spectrum, with no true ghost involved or it was a ghost reliving his accident.
