Explain shadow people, I thought they were just quick movements you see and never really do anything else
Alright.
So, I had bunk beds at the time, my brother was on top bunk and I was on bottom bunk. But for some reason, that night I was asleep on the top bunk and so was my bro (no homo) I was a little kid, dammit!
Anyway, we were asleep and my bro used to always sleep with his baseball bat for some strange reason. We both happen to wake up at the same time, and we both looked over towards our closet and we see this very, very tall black figure. Looked to be like it was wearing a hood, think of it like those grim reaper looking guys in Lord of the Rings.
I started crying, it was slowly moving closer. Mind you, the room is pitch black but you can PERFECTLY see this figure slowly moving towards you. So, as it was, I was crying and then it felt like I was pulled off the bunk and fell to the floor.
My brother had his baseball bat and started swinging it, then shortly after my dad came in the room and turned on the light and there was nothing in the room with us, of course.
What's really strange is that my bro's baseball bat was broken, there was no damage on the walls or anywhere on the railing of the bed, it was just broken for some reason. I know it sounds crazy and probably unbelievable, but I can say that we truly saw something that night.
Eventually, few years later, we moved into a house. I remember walking back from my friends place and I looked down the side of the house into the backyard of my place and I saw a black figure standing there, this time wearing like a Freddy Krueger hat, but not literally, just the best example. Like a small top hat? I don't know, it was just before dark, so the sky was like a dark blue and all.
I tried to not think anything of it, I was trying to tell myself I'm just imagining things. That's the last time that I saw it, thankfully. I hope I never see anything like that again because it was the scariest moment in my life, I'm almost 21 now and even still to this day I can say that I really believe that my brother and I saw something that night.
Then as I said, my parents split and me, my bro and my dad moved back to that same apartment building but next door, my new room being beside my old room and that weird rubbing feeling on the side of my face and how I thought of it like "welcome home".
Ever since that night when I was a kid, as much as a bitch I seem like, I make sure to sleep with some sort of light on. I always keep the closet door closed. I remember when I was living back in the apartment after my parents split, I would forget about keeping a light on and leaving my closet open and just looking into it and just thinking I saw the shape of the figure and it would make me gasp for air and I would be freaked out.
Yeah, sounds kind of crazy but it is what it is. I think that most people have very strange things happen in their lives that they just can't explain but they know what they saw.
So, no, shadow people aren't just 'quick movements' or whatever, they're something that it's like.. they want you to see them sometimes. Not everybody gets this in their life, but it stood right there in front of me, walked towards me, and next thing I know I'm on the floor from the top bunk crying my eyes out. I know that I didn't roll off the bed because I was sleeping near the wall and my bro was on the outside.
Wish it never happened, just writing this makes my eyes water.
Here's a pic of what I'm really talking about, the one the right is the first one I saw, and the 2nd one is the one I saw down the side of my house in the backyward just standing there. These are very, very accurate. They're very tall, darker than the darkest room and they're the scariest things you could probably ever see in life if they happen to show themselves to you.
It's crazy that this happened when I was so young, and then many years later, I read stories about other people seeing them. That's the creepiest part to me.
