I see figures from the corner of my eye?

Question

I've been seeing these figures from the corner of my eye, it hasn't started until recently but they're gone in less than 2 seconds so usually I just think it's nothing although one time I thought I could make out a human form but it probably wasn't. But yesterday I was looking up some stuff about John F. Kennedy and out of the corner of my eye I saw this very tall black figure and it appeared as if it were floating. I nearly screamed, I turned and looked it was gone! I'm a very skeptical person as much as I hate to say so but nothing could explain what I saw. If it helps I'm a very intuitive person and usually I can sense how people feel before they can even walk in the room.

Answer 1

Floaters occur when a piece of retina breaks away and remains lodged in your eye. This is normal and common. They typically appear in your peripheral sight and look exactly like tall shadowy figures. They tend to get worse as people get older. Ever notice specs floating across your eye and you blink and there gone? This can also be caused by dust or debris in your eye.

Answer 2

These tall black shadowy figures you are seeing are referred to as "Shadow People". What they are, in theory, are ghosts that do not have enough energy to manifest completely, leaving them black and featureless. Most people report them just as you do and see them out of the corner of their eyes. They are very common.

They can be quite frightening but I happen to think that they are a residual type haunting, and not intelligent so they shouldn't bother you. But if you get too scared, tell it to leave, or call a paranormal investigations team to help you out.

Answer 3

I"m thinking it could also be an eye problem if it just started and you're seeing it a lot. Just to make sure ...a check up wouldn't hurt. Eliminate any eye problems...then you can look into the possibilities of it being shadow people.

I'm wondering why ONE can't just give a good answer like he did ...without adding an insult. I ALMOST  gave him a thumbs up ...till I saw what he added. The paranormal IS real...he just hasn't experienced it yet.  There are lots of things in this world that we can't believe are real until we experience them. (or believe what others say about their experiences).

Answer 4

Welcome to the shadow people.

This is going to be an interesting time for you.

Do some reading on them.

Answer 5

I see thing like that too.  Don't worry..they're ghosts.  You aren't going crazy, and there's nothing wrong with your eyes.  Try not to be scared, although sometimes, I am too.  They don't mean to harm you or anything, they just want you to see them.  

Answer 6

Seeing things out of the corner of your eye is not good. Go to your GP to get a recommendation for an optical examination. Problems with eyes need to be addressed. This is serious. If you are seeing shadows on the corners then this could lead into a more serious problem if not treated.

Please also note that the ideas about 'shadow people' are fanciful at best.  

Answer 7

"I'm a very skeptical person"

No you are not because you assume that something odd you see is paranormal instead of first looking for the logical explanation which is defective vision and because you think you can tell how people feel paranormally as well.

When you have had your eyes checked please let us know what your doctor said.

well id say you could also have medumistic abilities. seeing things like that is part of being a medium. i know. i have heard and seen things too. when it comes to spirit people i hear more than i see. but place memory is different i see a close up of the memory of certain places. I have also channeled before not realizing what i was doing.
