		<description>Jesse, the incident with your mom sounds like she was either bilocating or you saw a doppelganger.  If the event wasn&#039;t followed by a tragedy or death (I&#039;m assuming it wasn&#039;t or you probably would&#039;ve mentioned it) then it was most likely bilocation.  You were probably seeing her astral/spiritual body carrying on other business while she slept.  Did you ask her what she was dreaming about? I bet she was dreaming about doing something on the computer.  Weird, I know, but it happens and it&#039;s usually nothing to worry about.

The stuff with seeing the cats sounds like shadow creatures to me.  Most people call them &quot;Shadow People&quot; but they can appear as cats, dogs, spiders, etc.  I have quite a history with seeing shadow creatures (mostly the &quot;Head and Shoulders Guy&quot;) but don&#039;t really have the time to type out a long essay about my experiences right now.  I&#039;ve only once felt threatened/frightened by them and that was a long time ago.  I usually just get startled when I first see them and then think, &quot;Oh, it&#039;s just one of those again.&quot;</description>

		<description>okay, I only had one experience with something like this, but it wasn&#039;t a shadow person. 

It was 6:01 in the morning and I was in a back room that always freaked me out, though I was too tired to do anything and wanted to get some extra rest before I went to school. So I sat down in one of the military bases chairs that is like a couch (Note that I am living in Okinawa on a military instulation.) and rested my head on the side of the armrest, using it like a pillow and laying my body on it&#039;s side and resting my feet on a stool so it was like I was laying down, and I blinked... Then I saw something that freaked me out. I only saw it for a second and thought I saw things, but what I saw was real. My computer was sitting at a desk next to the laundry room and it was on, like usual, though I saw my mom standing in front of it, blocking out the light of the screen. She was wrapped in a blanket and was hunched over. All I could see was the hair. Anyway, she was typing on the computer, and when I blinked again, she was gone. Instantly after that I felt the hairs on my neck prickle and a cold feeling in my chest. I called out,&quot;MOM!  You in here?&quot; I looked around and saw she wasn&#039;t. &quot;No, I am in here.&quot; She called from the front room. I sat up as quickly as possible and ran into the front room. (Note that my kitchen is connected to the room I was in, and the kitchen lead to the front room, so it was quite a distance. ) I saw her then laying down with the same blanket on that I just saw her, or it, in and she looked like I had just woke her with the fear in my voice. I didn&#039;t see her at all that morning until I ran into the front room so how could I possibly know she was using that blanket. &quot;Were you just in the other room typing on the computer?&quot; I asked. She laughed and said,&quot;I was in here the whole time, and was asleep when you called out to me.&quot; I felt my blood in my body grow cold and started to sweat. &quot;But I just saw you in there. &quot; She stared at me blankly then said,&quot;I was here the whole time... &quot;

I didn&#039;t go back into that room again that day. Also, I have never had something happen like that again, but I do see a cat at the corner of my eyes sometimes, not one of the two I have, and when I look it isn&#039;t there. My mother also saw a cat strait on in this house and went looking for it, though couldn&#039;t find it, and this was before we got our cats... 

Can someone explain this?</description>

		<description>My first experience was with a long tall shadow, standing against the wall, near my opened bedroom door.  I was so freaked out I slept with my lamp on that night.  Soon after I started having that pressure of weight on my differing parts of my body, while I was sleeping.  This happend occasionally, I just took it as &#039;really bad dreams&#039;.  

Years passed, and while I was pregnant, I had another experience while asleep and dreaming, I felt the pressure again, I was lying on my side and I was being push hard on the thigh, it felt like I was leaving a imprint in the ground.  I was so scared and couldn&#039;t scream or hardly breathe. So instead of fighting it any longer, I let in push me, push me through the ground and relaxed into it.  

It was the last time I&#039;ve ever had that sensation again.

Another experience with these shadow people, was when I was at work, I work alone at night in a store, as I was turning off the lights to leave, I saw a small hunched over shadow, ready to charge me from the other side of the store.  I quickly turned my back and said aloud &#039; dont be stupid&#039; to the shadow, not myself and left.  My next encounter was at home, I was getting up to go to the bathroom, early hours of the morning, and as I went to turn the hallway light switch on I knew the shadow was on the wall by me.  It jumped across the hall to the opposite wall and in profile, sprinted off down the hallway.  I got a little fright, but the call of nature and the sleepiness, seemed to work in my favour as I just waved it off. 
 
Thanks for letting share.</description>

		<description>The day of my moms wake I stayed home because it was too painful to go. I was sleeping and I woke up and I saw a shadow of a person sitting next to my bed. I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep. I don&#039;t know if it was a hallucination or not. I have a feeling it was my mom. The same thing happened when my friends brothers best friend died. Her 7 y.o. nephew said that he had seen the dead friend in shadow form in her brothers room.</description>

		<description>This is amazing to read. Once I was sick and it prevented me from sleeping. I thought I was going crazy but there were two shadow people working together playing a game. They were running around and around the house barely keeping out of view under the windows. I opened all the windows because I thought it was kids messing around. They moved like streaks. Wayyy to fast to track with my eyes. They seemed to know where I was in my house at all times. When I would turn my back to the window I would see them streak by. They seem to be able to physically touch things because I heard footsteps.on my deck and pavement. I even heard one of them say &quot;that was close&quot; once. Pretty wild. They seemed to be having a good time as they stayed till nightfall.</description>

		<description>Congrats Phil,
You won your battle of tug-o-war over your body. When you&#039;re in the kind of sleep that you can see your room ,but you know your eyes are closed...that&#039;s your minds eye being open. I know that this sounds crazy but, you were very brave to fight by yelling out about Jesus. I think that you need to know you are not crazy. This happens all the time and people just dismiss it. I would try salt concecration of your house. Salt is a purifier and put in the corners of your house or apartment can help ward off these shadow people. If you need more security...I don&#039;t know how religious you are but, saying the protection prayer in Ephesians will usually help someone who can&#039;t control when they Astral Project. At least when you open your minds eye you won&#039;t be spiritually naked so to speak. I hope that this has helped you Phil.</description>

		<description>Hi,

  I&#039;m going through something that i can&#039;t explain. I thought it was just sleep paralysis at first, and my friend told me had that he experiences that once and awhile. However, what im going through feels quite different and far more intense than mere sleep paralysis, but i dont know.

 I guess i&#039;ll start with what happened just this morning and then some of the other happenings after. Anyways, i can not recall what i was dreaming about, i know it was dreadful and caused me great unease as if something was watching me and it wanted to torment me and naturally i tried to wake up. I did wake up, but not completely. How can i describe it, i feel like sometimes i have to wake up twice, its like my spirit and mind wake up first and i feel very much like im in another world. At first it wasnt terrifying, almost serene. Though it has turned sinister. Anyways, this morning i woke up in that state. I know my eyes are closed but i feel as if they are open and i can clearly see my room and this morning i saw something at my bed, at first it was like i was seeing only a piece of it, like it was just outside of my vision except its arm.

I looked away, when i looked back it had shifted over, upper body in plain view, yet dark and distorted. I never saw its head or face. I started screaming out to god and jesus. It seemed to dislike me doing this, but at the same time i felt as if i was simply pissing it off, but i felt like i was slowly gaining myself back with every single scream. The being, did not like this... he started to envelope me, my eyes were closed now i was focused completely on what i was screaming, but i felt it push on me... very heavy. It finally subsided and i was able to physically wake, but i felt exhausted not tired, literally spirtually and emotionally exhausted. 

What the hell is happening to me? I feel like i am going crazy for even considering this is real, telling myself im having crazy dreams or hallucinations, but when i went online today to see if it was real i find people with stories just like mine. I dont believe in coincidence. Somethings going on.

When i consider this happens 2-3 times a week i got to say something has happened. Sometimes im in this state and i feel people pushing or squeezing my head. My chest feels heavy, my feet cold. I cant do anything but make little whimpering sounds...

I dont know, i&#039;m freaking out, why&#039;s this happening for the last month? Anyways thats my experience... i&#039;m only sharing it in case there are others like me with similar thoughts that they are just losing thier grip on themselves. I&#039;ve had other experiences with this crap over my life, this was the third time were i felt like i was in danger and i was scared for my life and not just freaked out.</description>

		<description>Okay, in dreams where you are on a boat, in a maze, in a hallway, you need to know that these places are places of transition...this is bad. Always make sure that you try to control your dreams. I see these things all the time. If you are being haunted, know that you are being targeted in your dreams because that is when you are the most vunerable, spiritually speaking. That is one of the only times that if you don&#039;t know what to do, you can lose your fight. When you have dreams like this, pinch yourself. You did the right thing by screaming. Anything to bring yourself out of it. If one of these things reaches out for you...DO NOT TOUCH IT! If you&#039;re experienced fine but, since it sounds like you aren&#039;t don&#039;t. I know this sounds a little crazy but, that is how these shadow people work. If these shadow people think they can take your body out for a spin they will try. If they happen to grab you in a dream, I don&#039;t know what your faith is but, most, of these things cannot stand in the name of Christ. I say that and most will stop or leave. For the stronger ones, just be prepared for a fight. I hope this has helped you. Remember what I said about what they feel like when they touch you. It&#039;s like nothing you&#039;ve ever felt.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen them, riding home on my bike through a dark and woodsy park. It was after 3:30 AM on my second straight night without sleep and just as described - flitting around on the edges of my vision.  It was creepy as hell and I have to admit I got out of there as fast as I could, even though I knew at the time that fatigue induced hallucinations can&#039;t hurt you.</description>

		<description>My encounters are almost always when I&#039;m sleeping. I’ve only had one encounter when I was awake and it was only for a second so I’m not sure what I saw was indeed a “shadow person,” but the feeling I had was unmistakable. 
Anyway the first memory I have of these &quot;shadow people&quot; is while I was sleeping. I was very young maybe 4 or 5, and truly it&#039;s the first thing I can remember of my life. In the dream I was in some kind of cement basement with multiple rooms and hallways. I was walking around noticing these shadowy figures. They were like people but with no details... no eyes, no face, no anything that could be identifiable. However they were distinctly not shadows, they walked and stood as you or I would. They made their way around this place some running and some looking around corners. They weren’t running at me or from me so I was merely curious to see what was going on. I didn&#039;t feel any fear or uneasy feeling from them at first so I kept making my way around. Finally I came into a room that none of the shadowy figures would enter, it had something in it. It was some kind of cement box placed on a cement slab that was raised higher than the floor. I looked inside and for the first time got an uneasy feeling. I wouldn&#039;t say fear exactly but a feeling that was cold and a little breath taking. I saw and old man very wrinkly that appeared to be dead lying in the box. Then from the doorway in which I had entered the room through, the shadowy figures seemed to stare at me but still would not enter the room. I woke up shortly there after and told my grandma what I saw. She wrote it off as a bad dream, so I took it as such. 
Many years have passed, and never again have I seen so many &quot;shadow people&quot; in the same place at once. They have however frequented my dreams individually since then. It always seems to be just one of them though. The dreams vary in content and most of them are not nearly as memorable in detail as the first but the feeling that I get from each is the same. I call it an uneasy feeling and while it didn&#039;t start as fear, it has since grown to be beyond fear. The best way I can describe it is the air seems thick and cold while the inside of your chest feels, for lack of a better word, a tingle. The first dream they hadn&#039;t tried to interact with me, they only stared once I entered the room. In my most recent encounters, the shadowy figure is always reaching out at me. It&#039;s never from the foot of my bed or anything like that as some others have described but out of nowhere in the middle of different dreams. 
One dream I was searching for a friend at a party when I entered a room and flipped on the light to find the shadowy figure kneeled beside a wall. It slowly reached out for me and I got that uneasy feeling and tried to scream but couldn&#039;t. I wasn&#039;t paralyzed though because I was able to run back out of the door I had entered. When I made it out of the door I woke up in a cold sweat shaking in fear. I ended up going back to sleep after awhile and had a different dream. I was on a game show where another contestant and I had to find something in a maze of doors and hallways. Again I ended up entering the same room from my previous dream where the shadowy figure was kneeled down reaching out for me. I did exactly the same as before, I ran out of the room trying to scream. However this time when I made it out of the door, the room I ran into had the same figure only now it was standing up reaching out for me. Still trying to scream I looked behind me and saw exactly the same thing that was in front of me. It was like I was standing in a doorway and on both sides this figure stood there with its hand reaching out for me. I finally managed to scream and the scream woke me up along with the rest of the household.
The only encounter I&#039;ve had while awake I wasn&#039;t able to look directly at the shadowy figure for long. I only saw it out for a second before I passed out. I was walking through the abandoned house of a dead friend with some mutual friends when it happened. It was a couple years after our friend’s death and we had decided to go through the house to reminisce of old times. I should mention that our friend DIDN&#039;T die in the house, nor were we going through it trying to scare one another, we simply went back for the good memories. The four of us were walking in a tight group with one flash light and a little light shining through the windows from the moon outside, so it was very dark. The house was very big with one hall that connected the 8 rooms. We walked toward the back of the house where his room use to be and I started getting that uneasy feeling that I&#039;ve only had in my dreams where I had encountered the &quot;shadow people.&quot; I asked my friends if they felt a change in the air, but they said they couldn&#039;t feel anything. We kept moving and suddenly the feeling over powered me. I felt like I had to get out of there right that second. My friends told me to chill that nothing was going on, and then through the darkness at the opposite end of the hall I saw the shadowy figure of my dreams even darker. I only saw it for a split second and I passed out. I came to with my friends trying to lift me up while walking back to the entrance of the hall. I was covered in goose bumps and so light headed I couldn&#039;t stand. They took me out of the house and when I asked them if they saw what I did they told me no I must have been tripping. 
I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a possibility all this can be explained, so if anyone has any thoughts please share them. I don&#039;t feel like my experiences match the definition of Sleep Paralysis so I&#039;m looking for the next best answer. As far as the experience while I was awake, I don&#039;t know what to think. I&#039;m sure there could be a logical answer for that as well I just don&#039;t know it. Again any thoughts would be appreciated.</description>

		<description>These shadow people many say, are reflections of the darkside of ourselves. I don&#039;t believe this to be true. I have had experiences with these beings since I was a small child. Others say that this is some sleep paralysis, I&#039;m here to tell you it&#039;s not. These things are inquisitive, they can hunt, they play games, and on occasion can be aggressive. They prey on weak souls. Children, the elderly, even animals. If you have seen these things in your house and you have children I would suggest monitoring your children&#039;s sleep more. Most of these things are just curious. You have others that are more malice with there intentions. These are not ghosts...let me make that clear. These are other worldly spirits and if they make you feel very scared, go with your gut feeling. They take  the form of people so as not to completely freak you out. But, they are tricky. I had one recently that looked to be a little boy figure. I didn&#039;t think anything of it, until my four year old and two year old started having night terrors. Not nightmares, night terrors. My kids usually always sleep very well and we never watch horror movies or anything like that, ever. I heard hard footsteps on the floor of my home and walked into the hall to see what it was. My oldest son started crying in his sleep.As I walk into the hall a figure of a litte boy ran out of my kids room. I followed it out into the living room. It had stopped and turned to look at me. I told it to leave my kids alone and it charged me. I had this huge wave of fear, anger, and jealousy run through at the same moment this thing ran through me. I told it to leave again and it walked out of my house through the wall. I have not seen it since. I have encounters with a man in a top hat. A woman and a small girl. These were not all in the same house. This is over the years. The man in a top hat haunted me for almost five years! I think these are ways to test us. If none of you have researched astril projection I would start. If you have ever had a dream that you stood up from your body and jumped out of your ceiling to fly...either to go see someone or just to fly, this is a form of astril projection. Kind of like an out of body experience without dying. I have had these since I was a baby. These &quot;shadow people&quot; are not always bad, but, not good either. When your spirit leaves your body, it leaves your body vunerable, other spirits can take over. I think that this is what these things sometimes try to do. That&#039;s why they people whom have had bad experiences with these things, really, were having a game of tug of war over there bodies. That&#039;s why they try this when you&#039;re sleeping...you&#039;re still vunerable. The only guess that I can come up with about why they try to do this is because you are living they are not...they want to try it out. I have seen these things in astril projection and on that plane, if they touch you, you really feel it. I&#039;ve seen ghosts on that plane and let me tell you something. These things and ghosts are completely different. I don&#039;t think these things have ever been alive. Ghosts feel like flesh and blood in astril projection. These things feel like raw energy, be it dark or what...the closest thing I can compare it to is if you electrified velcrow. Only when you touched it you only felt emotion but, you hear static. I know this sounds pretty crazy to lay this on you all at once but, if I can just enlighten people to these things. Maybe this will help. -Becca</description>
