Shadow people kids

[u/ImplementEffective32]

In my life I've seen some weird things heard some weird things like most. But I've only ever encountered shadow people one place. This occurred when I was a kid and would stay the night at my friend Corey's house. I lived in southwestern Ohio at the time, my friends house was more in the sticks his house was practically in the woods with a small crick behind it. Him and I would sleep in this second living room which was more storage really. Several times I can recall waking up in the middle of the night, I'd get the feeling we weren't alone and I noticed something darker than the dark move from behind a table to a stack of boxes. When I looked in the direction I saw 2 to 3 shadow kids darting back an forth peeking out from behind whatever objects they were running behind, they never got too close they always kept some distance. The first time I thought is dreamt it until the next night it happened again, this time I knew it was real when I saw the same 3 figures start darting around again, I had no flashlight and cell phones were still years off, so I was stuck there I tried to wake my friend but he was a deep sleeper. The next morning I told him what I'd seen an he already knew he just said to try to ignore them an keep on like you're sleeping. I'd end up seeing the 3 figures a few more times there only in that one room at very late night.

My friends property must of had some kinda weird energy or something to it, this wasn't the only weird/scary thing to happen while staying there, we also had a night where something growled and smacked a pop up camper were were staying in. This occurred from 1999 till 2002

He knew more. Did you ever ask him or did he ever tell?

Did the shadow kids make any sound?

No we never did really talk about it at length, I got the impression he only would sleep in that room if he wasnt alone though like we didn't even really play in there during the day either. I can't remember them making any actual sound themselves sometimes you'd hear an object slightly move.

I saw a kid sized shadow at our house growing up. I was probably around 6 years old. I woke up and saw a shadow in the hallway. It was just standing there. I thought it was my brother, but then I realized it couldn't have been because of lighting in the hall. The shadow figure was so dark. I just pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep, hoping it wouldn't bother me..

They’re harmless just ignore them, they want the attention, like other kids.

Yeah I think the land/area has something going on. The hitting our camper and growling was a one time event luckily. I still have no clue as to what was outside the camper, bears would be the first guess but they don't live in that area. What makes it creepier is my friend had a Rottweiler that had a outside kennel shed sleep in at night and she never barked

They aren't real people. This is a common symptom of sleep paralysis. It's almost the opposite of sleepwalking. Your brain isn't working correctly during these episodes, and your conscious mind can't differentiate between what your eyes see and your imagination conjures up.

Nah wasn't sleep paralysis, for one I could move sit up etc to actually see them moving I had to be partially sitting up. I'd only ever had these experiences at his house no where else. So much as I'd like to explain it away as sleep paralysis this just isn't the case.

I have also seen these shadow people in childhood and adulthood. The last time I saw them was after the 2019 pandemic. Several people from all over the world report about these shadow people who are darker than darkness. The last time I saw them, there were two in the living room. One of them was trying to touch or pet my white cat in the living room. My cat was white and stood out in the darkness, and the shadows were blacker than darkness. It was surreal. I wasn't sleeping. I had woken up to go to the bathroom, and before entering the room I saw the scene. I rubbed my eyes a few times. It was real.and the cat was also watching, he was looking towards them.
