The shadow people

This is one of the most famous urban legends on the internet. It is considered a paranormal phenomenon also because many people have reportedly said that they have seen the entity with their own eyes. Many of the reports were quite similar and were also convincing at the same time. We can read about the events on Reddit too. We were all scared of the dark when we were small children. Some people, even after becoming adults, the fear of the dark will never fade away for them. This shadow people legend takes the fear of darkness to the next level.

I will explain it to you with a scenario. You are sleeping peacefully at night. Around 1 pm, you woke up for some reason. When you wake up, you see a fully black entity standing at the corner of your room and staring at you. It does not have any faces; the whole body seems like it is filled with black paint. When you are looking at it, you are unable to breathe or scream, even when you try harder. After some time, the entity disappears, and you are able to breathe normally. The entity we say during the scenario is called "Shadow People." Nobody has an answer to the question of who or what shadow people are. Because each and every person who encounters it describes it in a different manner.

Some paranormal experts say that they are definitely not ghosts because these shadow people have a purpose and intention, unlike ghosts. Some people describe them as demons. There are also communities of people who strongly believe they are demons. On the other hand, some people think that they are living beings from other dimensions. Some experts say they might also be intergalactic beings who travel between dimensions. This is because many scientists think that apart from our third dimension, there are also fourth and fifth dimensions. Some people also mention it as the ghost of living, which, according to their theory, is the soul which travels from our body when we are unconscious.

Some experts know about astral projection, which is used to separate our soul from our body and travel with the soul. Some experts have claimed that they have achieved astral projection. While doing so, they said they were able to look at their own body lying at the centre of the bed in the room they were in before. Some people also say that the negativity from their bodies helps in creating an entity of their own. They also say that in order for the entity to sustain itself, it feeds on the fear of the person who created it. Some people also say it is some kind of alien. Even Though everyone has their own theory about this entity, no one was able to give a proper explanation for this.

This was not known to the world until 2000. Only after 2000 A.C did people start talking about this phenomenon and entity. Many people started sharing their own experiences on the internet, and that is how the legend started getting famous. We can categorize them into four types according to the people on the internet. The first one is an ordinary type that will never harm you but will stare at you from the corner of your room. According to the reports, not many people have witnessed it.

Secondly, the people who met the negative shadow people were scared and said that they started having many negative thoughts after that encounter. Third, the shadow people with red eyes: those who saw it said it made them fearful and that they had difficulty breathing when they saw it. Finally, the shadow people with hats or hoods. This is considered to be one of the deadliest. The other entities do not have the power to attack humans directly, but the final entity has the ability to attack humans, they say. Some people say that it may be a hallucination. Some people say that it is because of sleep paralysis.
