Shadow People – What They Are And What They Want
Before we delve into the types of shadow people, we should go over the commonalities of the entities that fall under the category of shadow people. Some common features of shadow people are:
A shape that is generally male in appearance
They are aware of us and react to our observing them
The typical shadow person is tall, ranging from about 6′ to 7′
Very often they seem to be wrapped in a cloak or large old fashioned cloak
Hats are not uncommon
Their appearance has depth to it, unlike a shadow cast on a wall that is flat
Quite typically they have no visible eyes, but some will have glowing red eyes
Shadow people are rarely reported to have spoken or tried to communicate
Physical objects seem to not matter to them and they can walk through walls
Can have a demonic shape and demeanor
Lurking Shadow People
Cloaked is just one of the types of Shadow People you may encounter
Generally found in homes and very often around bedrooms, the classic shadow people tend to be lurking. They will stand in doorways or corners and just watch their victims. These types of shadow entities don’t generally seem to have any intent, they are just there observing. Sometimes they will wander a location, following people, or stalking them. Quite often they flee at being noticed, vanishing around corners or simply by going through a solid wall.
Typically these are the classic human shaped shadows, sometimes with a hat and often times with a cloak or large coat. Less common is a vague figure, more like a human with a cloth over them sort of shape. This class of Shadow People seem primarily to be attached to an individual and have been known to follow people from one location to the next.
Caution should be used though with any of these entities, as a neutral in intent shadow person may actually be a hostile one waiting for an opening.
Dangerous or Aggressive Shadow People
Some shadow people fitting the classic description are in fact malevolent. This is why we think all shadow entities should be treated with a high level of caution. Even if a shadow person is not initially hostile, it may just be a ploy. Considering that we are dealing with entities that may have a much different perception of time than we do, they are very capable of waiting for humans to break down or have a weak moment, giving them an opportunity to act on us.
If you experience a persistent shadow person, use a significant level of caution!
Visitors And Transient Shadow People
There seems to be a class of shadow people that are less interested in what we are doing but have their own agenda. They are seen typically going from one place to another, and seem not particularly interested in the goings on of those that observe them.
Of all the types of Shadow People, these are the least understood as they do not linger and interact with us.
Shadow Figures As Omens
Some sightings of shadow people appear to be omens or portents of something bad happening,
Haunting Shadow Figures
The last main class of Shadow People are those tied to a location and seem to haunt only that area. Several types of shadow people make up this large group and their motivations vary considerably depending on the type of Shadow Person. In general, though, those that haunt a location tend to be more malevolent and dangerous to encounter. They are less likely to flee when spotted and may actually choose to attack instead.
The least malevolent of this class are simply spirits that are negative in nature. At the extreme other end of the spectrum are the worst of the Shadow People, the demonic shadow creatures. What they want is usually to express their emotions on us. For weaker ones, that could be scratches and sick feelings. Stronger entities, are capable of full-on possessions, throwing objects or shoving people.
