Answer 9

Shadow people are believed to be either negative beings that come around when there is a lot of tension, anger, or sadness within a living area, or they are believed to be just another way for ghosts/spirits to manifest themselves.

So far, there seems to be three types of shadow ghosts.  First type appear as small misty clouds (black, obviously), and are about 2 feets in length but can supposedly hover up to 8 feet in the air.  The second type appear as a black cloud again, but more solid looking, not misty like the first.  Their height ranges from 2 to 8 feet tall.  The third type appear in human form and usually wearing a hat (no idea why this is so, but I have personally seen this type).  Their height is up to 8 feet.

You don't want to know. They're freaky and lurk in the darkness of the light.

They are sneaky and sly. Catch you when you're not looking.

Eat you up inside when you take a glimpse of their eyes

Answer 11

I read a amazing book, one of my favorite series, and they had kids that were shadow children which were the 3rd or so on child born in a family. They are called shadow children because you are not supposed to have more than two children, so the third kid has to go in disguise to have a normal life, or hide their whole lives.

the series is the shadow children by margerat haddix!

Answer 15

Shadow People are seen by children, teens and adults, usually in their homes during the late hours; a human-like, black figure often walking down hallways, or skulking in corners

Shadow people seem to typically flee in the presence of people in physical bodies, especially if they realize they have been seen, and are reportedly viewed primarily out of the corner of one’s eye.  Shadow people are not bound by walls or physical obstacles, as they may choose to move through them, while strangely, other shadow people seem to believe they have to go around physical objects. Shadow people are also known as dark shadows or shadow ghosts, and probably are the most misunderstood of entities seen.  Shadow is indication of spiritual condition, and is the absence of light or truth.  In other words, shadow people are disembodied humans who are lost, having not gone forward in life’s journey by refusing to go toward the light after the death of the physical body.  Shadow ghosts are not devils, demons or aliens, as some reports being imagination-generated would seemingly indicate.

Answer 17

People that live in the shadow

Answer 18

Shadow people (also known as shadow men, shadow folk, or shadow beings) are supernatural shadow-like creatures of both modern folklore and traditional native American beliefs. According to folklore, they appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people's vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed.

Reports of shadow people occupy a similar position in the popular consciousness to ghost sightings, but differ in that shadow people are not reported as having human features, wearing modern/period clothing, or attempting to communicate. Witnesses also do not report the same feelings of being in the presence of something that 'was once human'. Some individuals have described being menaced, chased, or in some rare instances, attacked by shadow people. There have also been reports of shadow people appearing in front of witnesses, of which they stay there or lingering for several seconds before disappearing. Witnesses report that encounters are typically accompanied by a feeling of dread.

Accounts of shadow people typically describe them as being black humanoid silhouettes with no discernible mouths, noses, or facial expressions, though accounts also exist of them being child-sized humanoids or shapeless masses that sometimes change to a more human like form. The eyes are usually not described as being discernible but in some reports glowing eyes are mentioned. The color of the eyes, if any, is typically given as red. Their specific form is described variously as two-dimensional shadow to a vaporous or distorted three-dimensional body (as though made out of smoke or steam). Movement is often described as being very quick and disjointed. Some witnesses describe this movement as though the shadow entities they have seen "danced" from one wall to the next, or as moving around the room "as if they were on a specific track". Rarely, they are seen "standing" in the middle of doorways or off the wall. Often they are described as being seen staring at the floor. Some accounts describe what appears to be the outline of a cloak, and in some instances the outline of a 1930s style fedora hat. This last type is referred as the "hat-man"
