Who are the Shadow People? I've heard numerous stories and claims about the true identity of the shadow people. Are they ghosts? Aliens? Extradimensionals? I've never experienced seeing a shadow person myself, although am always thinking I see things out of the corner of my eye and look round to check. I don't think there is anything paranormal about this at all. Have you experience shadow people or what do you think?

Did you see that dark, fleeting shape out of the corner of your eye? Perhaps you caught a glimpse of a strange entity that is being seen with greater regularity around the world. "What was that?" You were sitting comfortably on your sofa reading the latest issue of your favorite mag in the dim light when movement across the room caught your attention. It seemed dark and shadowy, but there was nothing there. You returned to your reading - and a moment later there it was again. You looked up quickly this time and saw the fleeting but distinctly human shape of the shadow pass quickly over the far wall... and disappear.
What was that? Some natural shadow? Your heightened imagination? A ghost? Or was it something that seems to be a spreading phenomenon - apparitions that are coming to be known as "shadow people" or "shadow beings." Perhaps this is an old phenomenon with a new name that is now being discussed more openly, in part thanks to the Internet. Or maybe it's a phenomenon that, for some reason, is manifesting with greater frequency and intensity now.
Those who are experiencing and studying the shadow people phenomenon say that these entities almost always used to be seen out of the corner of the eye and very briefly. But more and more, people are beginning to see them straight on and for longer periods of time. Some experiencers testify that they have even seen eyes, usually red, on these shadow beings.
What are shadow people and where do they come from? Several theories have been offered.
The Imagination The explanation we get from skeptics and mainstream science - and who are usually people who have never experienced the shadow people phenomenon - is that it is nothing more than the active human imagination. It's our minds playing tricks on us... our eyes seeing things in a fraction of a second that aren't really there - illusions... real shadows caused by passing auto headlights, or some similar explanation. And without a doubt, these explanations probably can account for some if not many experiences. The human eye and mind are easily fooled. But can they account for all cases?
Ghosts To call these entities ghosts demands first a definition of what we mean by ghosts. (See the article: "Ghosts: What Are They?") But by almost any definition, shadow people are somewhat different than ghost phenomena. Whereas ghost apparitions are almost always a misty white, vaporish or have a decidedly human form and appearance (very often with discernable "clothing"), shadow beings are much darker and more shadow-like. In general, although the shadow people often do have a human outline or shape, because they are dark, the details of their appearance is lacking. This is in contrast to many ghost sightings in which the witness can describe the ghost's facial features, style of clothing and other details. The one detail most often noted in some shadow being sightings are their glowing red eyes.
Demons or Other Spirit Entities The dark countenance and malevolent feelings that are often reported in association with these creatures has led some researchers to speculate that they may be demonic in nature. If they are demons, we have to wonder what their purpose or intent is in letting themselves be seen in this manner. Is it merely to frighten?

Somewhat recently, I have experienced seeing a shadow person. It was a little over 2 months ago. I was shooting a sitcom in this old house that no one lives in anymore. The only two people left in the house were me and my friend Brandon. We were just cleaning up some coffee and running through our lines and stuff. Brandom went into the kitchen of this house and I was standing in the dining room which is connected to this hallway. The way I was positioned I was looking into the entrance of the kitchen and the hallway was to my direct left. I was saying something to Brandon and I ntoiced somethin moving in the corner of my eye. There was only one light on in the hallway and I looked in closer to see whatever I had seen in the corner of my eye seconds before. The hallways was empty, but I swear I saw the dark figure of a person.
Another time I saw a shadow person for sure when it was just Brandon, myself, and another actress named Courtney in the house. I was standing in the dining room again when Brandon and Courtney were in the sitting room which is directly connected to the dining room. They were sitting on a sofa so their backs were towards me. I was drinking coffee, looking up at this large chandellier that hangs above the dining room table. Most of the lightbulbs in the chandelleir were out. Then one of these lightbulbs caught my eye because it began to flicker, and then it went out. I reached up to remove it from the chandellier and as soon as I touched the bulb in became illuminated again. I pulled my hand back and the light went out once more. I repeated this for a few times before I called Courtney and Brandon over to look at it. However, this time when I touched the bulb is remained unlit. Courtney and Brandon just thought I was messing around and went back into the sitting room and I was watching them walk back. I swear for just a second there was a dark figure of a person standing behind the chandellier when I turned back, then vanished when I blinked.
I've had some other experiences in the house as well such as hearing things from upstairs, seeing things move on their own, and experiencing sudden drops in temperature. We don't film very often in that house anymore though.

Both of those experiences sound a bit freaky!! Lucky you don't go there much anymore. Did they ever catch anything on the film that was picked up when editing later?

I don't know. I don't edit the film and I'm not sure that if the editing director saw anything, he would tell us anyway.

I've seen the pictures and they look soo scary I don't think they can be real, although I have seen people posting about their sight being interrupted by a black mass etc.
Can I just say that it might be wishful thinking on my part as these things turn up everywhere and I don't want it to be true.
