Is there really shadow people?

Question

I am asking because 6 of my children swear they saw them several time.First was my eldest son,he had gone to bed and was in the bed next to his younger brother(he was 6 and his brother was 5)they always played a game on their beds.One would sit up and the other would lie down and because the lights were out they could only see shadows.One night the oldest was laughing and making so much noise I went upstairs to check.He said his brother was sitting up and lying down very fast he couldn't keep up to him so he was laughing.I turned to tell the other one to be quiet and go to sleep and he was out like a light and looked like he had been for awhile.i just told the oldest to go to sleep.In the morning,I said to the youngest one he shouldn't do that anymore because he was going to hurt his brain,he looked at me funny and said"Mommy I went to sleep right away,I was tired."He said he didn't play the game now for a few days because it gave him a headache.The oldest insisted that they did play that night he could see him doing it.I don't know to this day what it was,but my son said it was his shadow friend.

Answer 1

Yes, I have run into them multiple times but I have never had any issues with them. If they start to bother you, I would recommend just asking them to leave. That usually does the trick. However if they do not bother you at all, just leave them to their business, they don't hurt anything.

Answer 2

You may have sprites of some sort. They do tend to be more active around children. I wouldn't worry about it.  

Answer 3

Yes. they are usually angry or lonely spirits. i lived in a house that had one. a 3d shadowed man, in a trenchcoat with a black hat. what they seem to draw you in, make you feel comfortable where you are, then they will scare you for the negative energy which they feed off of. but i wouldn't encourage your kids by saying it's real, because it can turn at any minute.

Answer 4

I have them at my house. Two April's ago I awakened in the middle of the night by "nothing" pulling my ankles to pull me out of bed. I believe it was a shadow person. Scared the you know what out of me!
