Shadow People

I don't know how many of you have ever heard of the phenomenon known as Shadow People, but I think that it's time we get to the bottom of this foolishness.

If you have never experienced anything like this before than you are undoubtedly going to say that this is all just a bunch of craziness. I know I would. The only problem is that I've been seeing these things off and on for most of my adult life. Too often, actually, to just write it off completely as half-asleep figments of my over-active imagination.

It's like this, the first thing is a feeling, before you actually see anything. Sometimes you walk into a room that you know is empty, yet you feel like you're not alone. Then comes the image. When I see these things it is always out of the corner of my eye, just a faint peripheral image that doesn't seem right. Usually a shadow where a shadow shouldn't be, like a darker area on a dark wall. But sometimes it's movement. Something just out of sight moving farther out of sight as you notice it, disappearing completely when you look at it.

I've experienced these sensations dozens of times in my adult life, but only a few times did I actually make out the shape of a person, but just for an instant. Usually it's too fast to catch, just a trick of the eyes, but it's that feeling of being watched that is always the same. Just watched mind you, I don't feel threatened or anything. Just not alone, when you know that you are. It's never happened to me when anyone else was around, and it always happens when it's dark.

Perhaps it's nothing. The problem I have with that is that it keeps happening. I don't believe in ghosts, and these things aren't like any kind of ghosts you typically would hear about anyway. I get the feeling that whatever it is, it doesn't mean to be noticed, and it may not even mean to be here. And it may just all be in my head.
