What is everone's opinion on shadow people? I have heard people say ghosts, other dimensional beings, demons, even aliens!
I definitely do not believe they are aliens!! I don't think they're demons either. Not sure why they show up as shadows, but I think I'm leaning towards regular interactive spirits.

The human eye is made up of rods and cones, with more rods being toward the outer part of the eye and more cones toward the center. It is theorized that the rods toward the outside see a little closer to the infrared spectrum, thus causing us to see things out of the corner of our eye and we loose it when we turn toward it. Of course this is only theory at this point but could explain a lot?

i think shadow people or more of just our mind showing it to us. Some people walk into a building they think is haunted and tell themselves they're going to see something. So, their mind does that for them and makes us think we see a figure. I don't know if you get what im saying but that's what i think.

Thanks Reedroses for that info. I did not know that!
I think I get what you're saying Tim. I think that's what happened to Lori in E building at Snug, but she definitely thinks she saw something!

I have really not made up my mind regarding shadow people, yet. But I am leaning toward not believing.

Shadow people... Hmmmm... Could they be apparitions that don't want to fully show themselves, afraid of being scorned by others? The world will never know. Good theory, though

Perhaps spirits of people that were tortured and have too many regrets from this world they feel they can't let their soul fully pass on and don't wish too let others know completely about them. That's also a possibility.

Thanks. I wouldn't be freaked out, more curious. The paranormal is something next to impossible to understand unless we try, right? It might also help if you knew where one of these "Shadow people" appear and the history of the grounds.

I agree, Dan. Sometimes people ask for our opinions on photos and stuff, but not having been there and knowing no history, it is impossible to make an informed judgement. I think it's the same with shadow people.

I've seen several shadow entities, and one thing I'm convinced of, is that they are not human. i would suspect a lower form of demon, or even an alien lifeform.
The ones I have encountered have a few similarities. One, they are almost always humanoid in shape, but rarely move like one. They have four legs/arms, a head, and they move in a swift, jerky fashion. like watching an ant scurry from spot to spot. Two, they can sense attention. In every case, they have noticed my gave within a second or two, and they ran away. Three, they seem to feed on negative energy. I've observed them in situations where they could passively consume the energy, such as living around people who fight all the time, and also, where they would actively induce phenomena, typically through telepathy, to create negative energy such as fear, and self-loathing.
The active ones may be a slightly higher order, as they seem predatory, whereas the passive ones seem more like scavengers. One thing about the predatory variant, is that when they are feeding, they will not stop until their link with the victim is actively severed.
questions? thoughts?

My thought is that you speak of them as if you have seen them many times. My question is where?
Interesting thoughts. I agree that negative energy attracts negative energy/entities. Not sure that I agree that all shadow entities are non-human.

Most I've seen have been among residential sections. Apartment buildings, sub divisions, etc. In at least 3 cases I've personally experienced them in places where people were fighting nearby, or in places of abject poverty where strife was commonplace.
Now there is a distinct difference between the "shadow people" i speak of, and an apparition that manifests as a shadow. A human apparition could very well manifest this way, but I would place that in the human/non-corporal category. These "shadow people" are something else entirely. They seem to radiate bad-juju like nobodies business, they almost always give you a feeling of uneasiness, and they move in an unnatural fashion.
As for where exactly, I've lived in Louisiana, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, St Louis, and now NYC, and I've yet to not see one after being there for a year or more.
My latest sighting was the courtyard of my gf's apt building in queens. It was walking along a wall directly across from where I was. Coincidentally, I had heard fighting in an apt earlier in the night, where it was spotted next to. It walked on the wall like a bug with 4 legs, a head, and a torso, vaguely humanoid, its "elbows" and "knees" being bent backward as it scurried along the wall. Now mind you, I couldn't actually see the thing, I could only see a 2-d shadow cast on the wall. I watched for about 30 seconds, as it sat near the corner of the building, and then it's head moved, as if it noticed me and looked up suddenly. Then it scurried into the shadows in the corner of the courtyard and I lost it.
For a split second tho, I got an impression of this ravenous intelligence. Like it was just sniffing around the neighborhood, looking for its next meal, and had been drawn to that apt due to the previous altercation that took place there. Altho the contact was uneasy, I knew it wasn't at all interested in direct contact, being more scavenger-like in demeanor.

I don't know, Jason. It seems like you have a unique ability to "see" negativity, negativity as an actual being. I wouldn't call those shadow people. They seem to be something completely different than what is described in the usual sightings of shadow people.
When we had investigated a location where one of our members believed there were negativity hanging around, she described something similar to what you are saying, though she didn't actually see it. I'm going to ask her about it again.
