From the album: The Educated Occultist By The Blyssful Witch - Dark Paganism and the Occult The Educated Occultist – Shadow People “Shadow people are dark figures associated with nighttime visitations and some haunted places. Shadow people appear as solid black figures who are darker than darkness. Many appear to be male; some wear coats and hats. They are typically six-and-a-half feet in height (this may vary). They have substance and form and can interrupt light and block objects from view. Shadow people rarely communicate, but many seem intensely interested in human beings. 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’. The one detail most often noted in some Shadow Being sightings are their glowing red eyes. This trait may vary according to reports. They fall into several categories: Bedroom Watchers – The figures are discovered standing by a bedside or in a corner of the room when a person awakens in the night. Most do not behave in a threatening manner, though their presence is often terrifying. Some may act aggressively towards people, causing choking sensations… Shadows on Walls – These appear suddenly as dark human outlines on walls, which then detach from the walls and move about rooms. Moving Shadows – These figures appear abruptly and move quickly through a room, as though on a mission. They come through walls and melt into them. They may seem to pay no attention to people present or else may watch them intensely. They may be seen out of the corner of the eyes or in full view. Background Visitors – These figures usually are not seen, but are captured in photographs. They appear in backgrounds; their forms noticeable on walls, doors and so forth. Haunting Presences – These appear in places known or thought to be haunted. They move about, act with intelligence, and appear and disappear suddenly. There may be no single explanation for Shadow People…some researchers [suggest] that Shadow People are inter-dimensional beings. They find ways into the physical world and seem to have the purpose (unknown) of observing humans. They may show up as bedroom visitors because the nature of a humans sleeping or dreaming consciousness enables an entry for them. Their appearance may be a form they deliberately assume or it may be the only way they can manifest in the physical realm. Many feel Shadow People are a type of nasty spirit because they sense evil or trickery radiating from them. Almost all experiencers are deeply frightened of Shadow People, even though they are not harmed by them. Shadow People are sometimes associated with turbulent emotions. For example, many people who have had significant Shadow People experiences can link them to states of emotional upheaval, such as anger, sadness, loneliness and so forth. Other people may be psychically open in such a way as to perceive Shadow People more easily than others.
