This is only one of my many experiences I've had and it doesn't really involve shadow people.

About a year ago, I was here sitting at this computer. There wasn't anyone else home, but my only two cats were in here on the couches. Then I hear these really heavy footsteps moving slowly in my attic. From where I was sitting, they were about twelve feet diagonally behind me and to my left. My cats were looking up at the ceiling and their heads were following the direction and sound of the footsteps.

The next part I cannot explain and I can only tell you what it sounded like I heard.

When the sounds got next to the wall, something (apparently small) fell down the inside of the wall and then something scurried across the kitchen floor. My cats took off to see what it was and I ran in after them, but found nothing. Whatever it was had to have had little claws from the way it sounded when it ran and be about the size of a small cat. But then again what sounds that heavy upstairs, falls down the inside of a wall, and then goes through the wall? There were no holes in the ceiling or the walls anywhere. It didn't scare me because I'm used to this stuff from living in my old house. That's where the majority of these things happened.

Here's my attempt at the setting (about half of the room):

I live a life of adventure, and I do my own stunts.-kiioki

Freshman year, when i was 14 or so, i woke up in the middle of the night with a very black figure standing on top of me. ( You know how the UFC guys get on someones stomach to start hammering there head in?)
Anyway, i couldnt breathe and all i felt was pressure being applied to my chest. It lasted for about 10 seconds or so. I dismissed it as a dream and went back to sleep but it happened about three times in rapid bursts. Each of those three times it got shorter and shorter of the time it was on me. As much as i hate to admit i ran into my moms room and slept with her. Then it stopped happening. Hopefully it will never happen again...

Some idiot somewhere who thinks hes being persecuted because the white guy next to him got more fries. Its caused he super sized his meal moron.

I've got a story, no blood or violence, but it freaked me the hell out:

First, I work at the airport for a company that loads and unloads 747 jets. Although we work out on the airport ramp, we are stationed about a mile down the road in a nasty little warehouse where we're all supposed to keep our equipment. So, one night (I work graveyard shift, 10-6am) we got done with one aircraft and were driving down the tug road in one of the crappy company trucks. Now, this thing was seriously s**t: stickshift little chevy thing, and I mean little, had no floorboards on the passenger side so I was trying to avoid pulling a Flingstone.

Anyway, we're driving down the road, headlights flickering and... go figure, I'm seeing shadows every five feet. Freaks me the heck out, finally I ask the guy I'm working with if he sees anything screwy. He just kinda nods and keeps driving, that poor SOB just wanted off of his shift. Meanwhile I'm getting some really bad vibes, didn't see anything fascinating though... just a creepy drive.

We get back to the shop and park the truck outside our warehouse, we're both a little jumpy from the ride. To this day I haven't been able to explain why it felt so strange, it just *did*. Coulda been a number of factors, but that's not the point. So, we get out of the truck and head over to the employee break room, which is cleverly on the other side of the shop from the operations room, the flight crew briefing and the GSE equipment hangar. So I'm sitting in the break room having an illicit smoke and the other guy is in Operations sorting out a payroll mistake, when suddenly the lights in the warehouse just shut down, no idea why to this day. Mind you, the lights in the employee breakroom were still on, as well as Operations and Flight briefing.

So, I'm in no hurry to walk across a dirty warehouse with no lighting, so I'm sitting here thinking "friggin' GSE must of shorted the fuse again, strange, didn't hear em revving up." About two minutes after the lights shut off I hear this hellish racket, like someone is throwing the tools around and knocking tires off their racks. So I get up and pull my flashlight out and start hollering "Oui, you all right? Want me to get the first aid kit?" I hear my coworker from the other side screaming "What in the F*** is going on?" We yell back and forth like that for a second, calling to make sure no one is hurt. Finally, I talk him into checking the GSE hangar to make sure no one killed themselves. He gets about halfway across the warehouse towards me, then I hear more racket and he comes bolting into the employee breakroom. Now, he's sufficiently freaked, looks like he's seen something bad. Pale as a corpse, sweating, shaky, I didn't envy him.

Looks like this is going to be a two poster...

*I* am the President of Antarctica.

Second part:
He gets going about how there's something in the warehouse and it chased him away. Naturally I asked him if he'd gotten a good look at it... No, the moron hadn't grabbed a flashlight. At this point I figured it was an animal or something, this happens occasionally, just never that bad. Anyway, I grab my flashlight and begin to walk out of the breakroom when I get this overwhelming sense of dread. I really can't describe it, it might have been biological fear, but I've been in similar situations and I've never gotten it that bad. Jerk-face was following me at this point holding a wrench. We decide to go turn the lights on. We walk over to the fuse box.. I don't know how we made it without freaking out, it kind of helped that the fusebox was only six feet away from the door.

So, he starts mucking with the fuses and I'm trying not to have a heart attack. Dunno how he did it, but he got the lights to come back on, only really dim though. The electricity in our warehouse is bad, takes the lights a while to heat up. At this point it dawns on me that there should be a whole staff in the building. "Where the hell is everyone?" I ask, he shrugs and says he doesn't have a clue. Building is empty. So the lights are slowly heating up, still really murky though, lots of shadows. Suddenly, I catch movement out of the corner of my eye. I don't want to say that this is for sure, but it seemed to be about human height, incorporeal, kind of murky like the shadows, and hauling a** towards the nearest door out of the building. I see it leave and all of a sudden the doors just start slamming shut. Not just once or twice, and I don't know how many doors, but there was just this racket again. Coworker starts freaking out again and I'm just staring at the door where it left, which *was* one of the moving doors.

We both haul back into Operations and get our supervisor on the radio... turns out he'd been trying to call us for the last ten minutes but he was only getting static. This happens often, but what a coincidence, no?
So we tell him that there were "goings on" in the shop, he just tells us to get the damn raccoons out the anti freeze and get back to work. We check out the GSE hangar and trust me, it was a friggin' mess. Looked as if a s**t cyclone had hit it hard. We didn't really talk about it with anyone, except for saying that neither of us would be caught dead in the warehouse alone again. We registered the incident in the accident book as animal trouble, cleaned it up and went home. Funny thing though, when we were cleaning, there was no sign of animal or human manipulation on any of the collapsed equipment. It had all been pretty sturdy stuff, but it seemed as if everything just gave out. As for the tools all over the floor, it looked as if the boxes had just been flung against the walls. I can't remember too much though about the mess, I was pretty shaken up and didn't feel much like playing Scooby Do.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, I haven't really been able to share those events with anyone and they got me pretty scared. No one takes this stuff seriously. Even the guy I was with had himself thoroughly convinced that nothing weird happened. Of course there are no corroborating witnesses because the Operations manager had taken the office workers out to dinner. Just leaves me freaked out and wanting to tell my dumb stories... enjoy.

Man, i havent been on this board in forever. i miss it. but anyway, on to my story. Ok, it was at my sister's house and in her kid's (my nephew's) room. I had went up to look at some new wallpaper/border they had put in, and underneath the dresser was like a black cat. Thats as best as I can describe it, it diidnt have fur, just a slick (but not shiny) flat surface. Spooked the hell outta me, but i just dismissed it.

Later on(days and weeks later, on multiple occasions), my nephew would come running down the stairs screaming his head off about a scary black cat trying to hurt him. He would refuse to go back in his room, and just about everytime he did (a day or two afterwards) he'd come screaming the same thing. Eventually they got an exorcist to cleanse the house, and they've not had a repeat episode since.

You know you're a nerd when your computer has bump intead of your car.
For irate justice!

Everyday I close the gate to my backyard and every morning it's open. Well 2 or 3 yards from the gate is the window to the bathroom. Well I always hear noises outside the window at night. One night I saw a silhouette of something walk past the window. And by how high the window is the thing would have to be at least 8 feet. And when I asked the others in the house if they saw anything in the backyard from the kitchen window they said no.

Also my neighbors dog bark all the time.

When ever I'm in my room I can look up and see things just flash by... like when someone takes a paint brush and moves along a piece off paper... exept the thing is usually a clear color of it's a blackish color. Is this just my eyes playing tricks on me? Am I going crazy because of al the other things that have happened to me? I can't take much more of this... *thinks of dead, mangled cat* *shudders*

It also seems like the more I think about it and the more scared I get the more I see "it" Also, I can see small black dots (about one inch in diameter) that stay on my wall for about 1-2 seconds before they disappear. Is this some kind of demon that feeds of my fear... or something? I wish I could have some kind of help from some one with experiance with this kind of stuff.

I don't know why or how, but that is also irrelevant in itself. The only relevant thing is accepting the facts. - The Dark Dominator

I'm back after being gone for some time, and I am surprised to see my topic still here. Obviously you guys like the subject of Shadow Creatures.

3 nights ago, and last night when I went to get something out of the car late at night, like I think it was pst 11:30, and then the second time like 12:45, something stepped out from behind a tree in my neighbors' yard just south of our house.

I didn't get a good look at it, since I immediately darted for the house. I am permanently scared of these damn things and I am always on the lookout for them whenever I go outside at night. About 2 and a half weeks ago, there were about 3 animals lying dead in the street.

One was in front of my house, and the other ones were in front of other people's houses who told me they have seen something outside at night, which I think is the same thing that I encountered outside my window, and behind my neighbor's tree.

The other ones can't be identified, but they are small sized animals. All that is left is a pile of guts and fur, and the one in front of my house is a cat ripped in half, so I think the other ones were cats, too. I used to hear cats outside at night sometimes. Since then, I haven't heard any.

It could have been dogs or something that killed them, or it could have been the shadow creature. Numerous other people have reported to have encountered it, too, indicating it may not be limited to my region. I don't know if it's the same one, or if there are others, but if it was a shadow creature that killed these cats, I think I have a little theory.

It seems that it stalks the same people that have encountered it before. But why? I don't know. But that is something I have noticed. I wonder if the dead cats in the street in front of the people's houses who have seen it were meant to 'mark' where its targets lived, or possibly part of some dark ritual or curse.

That's my best guess. Perhaps someone else has a more sensible one. Please, if you have anymore information, tell us all.

I'll remain observant and report any other unusual activity in my neighborhood.

I take your reality and substitute it with one of my own-Adam Savage

Alright, I have had two very scary scenes with these supposed shadow creatures.

Both happend in the same area of North Carolina, on the east coast near jockeys ridge. One was at jockeys ridge.

My fave cousin had come down for summer, and we had a whole lot of fireworks, so we decided to shoot them off near jockeys ridge, on a couldesac*SP*

Well, it was about 11o'Clock pm, and its "Disturbing The Peace" to do stuff after 10pm. After about 20 roman candles, we heard police sirens, and saw lights coming up the street, so we ran like hell into jockeys ridge.

Jockeys Ridge, just so you know, is rolling hills of sand, of the caliber you would find at a beach, and its a state national park in North Carolina.

Well, we had run up a smal hill, to look at the culdesac, to see if the cops were coming, and if we needed to run. We saw that they were leaving. But, as we were gettign ready to walk back home, we heard a strange hissing sound, like a low pitched snake. We could see something like a person, croutched down about 20feet away. We figured it was a Park Ranger, so we tried to hide ourselves behind some dune grass.

We noticed it was not moving, but kept making that noise, untill it strangly "Dissapeared" when a park ranger on an ATV had driven up, and the headlights went over it, but strange herbs and things not found in the area were laying near the place of the "Shadow Creature".

I asked my grandparents, who live about 2 towns over, still close by, about if the Outer Banks [Area we live] ever had any indian tribes or hags or witches or anything. She explained that there used to be some.

About Three weeks later, we stayed at our grandparents home. It is an old plantaition house, and used to have lots of old women who lived here.

My grandparents decided that it was time to clean the attic, since they hadnt for about, 12 years. After a day of hard work, I got a freind to come over. I was in a room right by the attic stairs, which had been lowered for the occasion. As my freind walked in, she didnt even notice me, and looked up in the attic.

She started to walk up the attic stairs, and when she got the the point her head was all the way in, she gasped, and fell. I asked her why she looked up there, and she said she had heard someone breathing and talking quietly, and when whe made it to the top, she saw a strange looking woman up there, croutched down in the corner. I could not sleep for a week, and neither could she.

BTW, Avon, mentioned in an earlier story, is about an hour away from here.

I'd say you're imagining things, but you don't seem happy to have seen these. Plus, you're hearing them too. Generally, sight plays the most tricks on people. I think I've seen shadows mving around my yard, but those are generally just animals, or my weird dad.

Now, throwing all my logic and such out the window, I'd wonder what the hell these creatures would be doing.

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.

I think theres more then one of these.

There may be different forms of them. Someone posted a website where it said that there were different types of these things. One poster said he saw a horse-like thing with giant wings, but others said that theirs were tall armored things with spikes.

Iv seen a shadow creature at my old house. In my basement. I was about 9 and i was playing in my basement with my friend when i kept seeing this shadow like thing run through the room really fast. I was scared but thought maby it was a big rat or something Who knows. I didnt have any knowledge of shadow creatures then so that didnt go through my mind. We heard a crate fall over and went in the door to the other room and then seen the thing run agian. Then we ran back to the other room and it was standing still on the ground near the bar that was in my basement. We were scared and were hungry so we decided to make a trap just for fun. it was made out of a crate and the cages from a wwf wrestling rink thing i got the year before for x mas. Well We conected it together with wire and put it up on a stick. We went up to eat and when we came back down it was ripped to pieces. It was scary.

my mom told me a story of something that she encountered.

She used to live on a farm. She was told to go feed the chickens. Being the average kid, she put it off. Finally about 10pm, she was told to do it again. So she decides to finally do it. She takes 2 of my aunts with her because it was dark. She went in the coop and started to feed the chickens. One of my aunts stopped and said, "you guys hear that?". My mom and my other aunt stopped and listened. They heard a deep growling noise. they put the chicken feed down and ran back to their house. The next morning they were gonna go back out and finish the job of feeding the chickens. When they looked into the coop, they saw all of the chickens dead with blood everywhere.

A couple years ago, we had a really cold winter. My mom and dad were trying to put our cats in the garage(they live outside). Or freak cat had climbed a tree so the cat wouldnt come. So my parents get the ladder to try to get her because it would be really bad if she stayed outside for the whole night because it was a really cold winter. My mom was climbing the ladder and my dad was holding the ladder for her. My dad turns his head and starts freaking out. He starts yelling at my mom to get down and get in the house. My mom follows what he said and gets in the house. His yelling had scared the cat down and she went in the garage. My dad runs to close the garage to protect the cats. And gets in the house. my mom asks him what happened and he said he say really big eyes. My dad does not get scared easily and this scared him.
