I've seen some things that could be considered shadow people.

Wow, that's really fascinating! I love ghost stories and would love to see one, but I never have. However, here are some things people I know have seen...\nIn kindergarden I had a friend whose dad was in the airforce. My friend saw him one day long before he was supposed to come home from work, or so he thought. The man he saw was wearing the airforce uniform his dad wore and he only saw him from behind, and from behind it looked just like his dad. He saw him work into his parents' bedroom so he went in to ask him why he was home so early, but no one was in the room. He checked the bathroom and even under the bed and in the closet and the man he thought was his dad was not there, no one was in the room. The window was locked. His dad came home about 3 hours later and I don't think my friend ever told him about it.\n\nAlso, my uncle died of a heart attack on Halloween several years ago, and when my little sister was born my parents gave her my uncle's name as her middle name in his honor. She's 9 now and for a few years she's said that he is her guardian angel and she can see his spirit at times. When we moved into our new house, she was terrified to go into the basement without all the lights turned on and someone with her holding her hand. One day I went into the basement to get my art supplies and she was there playing with legos. I was shocked and asked her why she wasn't afraid, and she said it was because he was there.\n\nI find ghosts and spirits fascinating rather than scary, and I think it's so cool that my sister can see her guardian angel! ^^

There was a woman that had died in the house that we grew up in & my siblings claimed that they saw her ghost outside the window facing toward the garden. \nWe did have strange occurrences in the house (several light bulbs popping in the same room but then working properly later on without the bulbs being changed, things suddenly disappearing & showing up in the most unlikely places later on, cold spots, etc.) but these may be contributed more to poltergeist activity more to a haunting. We were a large family & poltergeists are very likely to be around adolescents.\nMy mother did have a very frightening [supernatural] experience in my sister's bedroom & would never sleep in that room after that.\nI have seen a doppelganger of my cat (which is very likely--she is an evil thing!), & ectoplasm in the sense of an entity that could fully materialize. \nI think that we all have the ability to see them if we only our minds to them. All children have the ability until it is "brain-washed" out of them, which I think is extremely sad. I think that if we were to keep an open mind to these type things it would be easier to open hearts & minds to other things as well, like being more acceptable of others [living] as well.

A ghost is someone who has not passed on to the other side.\n\nA spirit (which is what mainly people see) is someone who has passed over.\n\nI have seen both.\n\nThe ghost I saw was when I lived in Mulgrave (place in Melbourne, Australia) I was sitting up in bed with my husband and our bedroom door was open.\nOut of nowhere a ghost who looked like he was anorexic walked through our bedroom door, the weird thing was that this 'thing' was carrying his head! He took no notice of my husband and I and just kept walking until he vanished into my dressing table. My husband was a non believer until that day!\n\nI have seen many spirits. One spirit I see quite frequently is the spirit of a dearly departed friend of mine. The first time I saw him was on the night he died, he just stood next to me and kept saying sorry.

um...either people don't really do this as much as you think they do or....well, do you ever look up at people that enter a room? i do sometimes. just to see who it is, if i know them or whatever. if i don't, i turn away as quickly as i looked over. i'm not sure people give you as much thought as you think they do. you're giving people too much credit. most people are so preoccupied with themselves that they don't notice others as much as you're suggesting.

I have not encountered one, but I could literaly take a 20 minute walk to a building where I could see them. Waverly Hills is the hospital someone mentioned a few answers back. There was also the "Ghost Hunters" team from the sci-fi channel that caught a couple of glimpses of things that could not be explained, like the thermal resonance of a humanoid figure, about that height, in an empty hall. On the second-highest floor of a 5 story hospital, with all the exits blocked off after that was seen, they couldn't find what made the figure, and the odds of a technical glitch making an exact humanoid figure looking about 4 feet tall are astronomical by any standards.

You are not talking about "souls". You are talking about noncorporeal shadows. I have had several problems with this myself. Aside from dismissing it quickly as a figment of the imagination or an optical illusion (same thing). Please consider these possible alternatives:\nGhosts (similar to souls, anyway)\nExtra-dimensional beings(Who knows, aliens>?)\nAnd Boogeymen! (I'm real serious!).\n\nWhen I was little, two shadows lived in my closet (I know right!). They were similar to a man and a woman. This went on for about a year and on several occasions I woke my parents up to investigate. Of course, they found nothing. the problem was when a light was turned on they would fade rather rapidlly. And it wasn't quite a fading, it was like they seeped into the walls. I would here them whisper sometimes, and I could only half make it out. It was kinda like they would say whole sentances in the space of one word. They had a mischiveous (sp?) personality(ies). Sometimes they would merge as well. I couldn't say they were out to do harm, but there was a certain aspect of "spying". \n\nThere have been several strange "sightings" since my childhood. Small black spheres that zip across the room when I would turn a light on.\n\nOnce, and this was the only time anyone else saw the balls, was after we moved to another state. I was 14, and my sisters just a tad younger. We were in our playroom and a large thud was heard above us. The cieling seemed to "warp" down several feet and then return to normal. After that me and my sister saw aball several days later. I didn't say anything, because I thought she hadn't seen it. She asked me what that was and I said honestly, I don't know.\n\nAs for the shadow couple mentioned earlier. They disappeared as follows:\n\nThey scared me quite a bit, not intentionally of course, but they didn't like the fact I reported them to my parents either. I can't quite explain how they showed this, but their actions seemed to indicate an overall need for secrecy. \n\nOne day I simply asked them to leave. They opened a "door of light" in the back of my closet and simply walked out of my life.\n\nOddly I was 7 siblings, but the sister with me when I saw the black sphere in the new house was the same one who took my room when I moved into my dad's office at the old house.\n\nI am not claiming anything other than this is a rather strong experience from my childhood. I have found a few obscure authors who document similar things. Obviously, you could understand why no sane adult would talk about this. \n\nBTW, when I was sleeping they would come up real close and "stare" at me. Then like children themselves, do something very similar to what you mentioned, gently nudge me or poke my pillow.\n\nAnyhow, if you don't mind them, see what happens. Otherwise when you think they are around (if they ever come back) and you want them gone for good, just tell them.\n\nWho the hell knows what those things really are.

Absolutely. The thing most people don't seem to realize is that there are things that go on within the spiritual world that are much more real and involved than the world we see around us. I have known several people who have seen things like what you are talking about. One of my best friends grew up as a missionary kid in the Ivory Coast. The people of one of the nearby tribes had this tradition called the Speaking of the Dead in which the men of the tribe would hoist a newly deceased person over their heads and ask it questions and depending on which way the body would cause the men to lean, they would have their answer. It was sort of like the "ouija board" concept. One of the missionaries was standing about 20 feet away watching this take place and when they asked the body a question the body literally lunged out at the missionary and then fell to the ground a little bit short of where he was standing. There are demons out there. Satan is very real and whatever was possessing that body did at all like what was possessing the missionary, which was the Holy Spirit. The demons in this world know they are defeated and therefore hate Christians. Christians, because of the blood of Jesus Christ have power and authority over these spirits that are all around us. Believe me... it IS real. \n Whenever people talk about ghost stories... things they've seen or heard... I have no doubt in my mind at all that what people see is real. Theyr'e not ghosts, however. They are simply demons who are trying to stir up as much confusion regarding the "afterlife" as possible. The more confused people are about what is possible to happen to them after death, the less likely they are to make a decision. \n I have also known someone who cast a demon out of someone else. My high school algebra teacher, a very wise and Godly man, had a troubled sister about ten years ago that became possessed by a demon. He rebuked that demon in the name of Jesus Christ and it fled from her. There is power in the name of Christ. Trust me. I've seen it.

me and my friends went to this building because we were going to put up a haunted house on the second floor and when we got up there we were told that they found a skeleton of a baby in the closet behind the wall. and thats when we knew that somethin was in this building. and we went up to the third floor which is haunted by this dude and he moves the furniture around and everything well we turned the light on up stair and walk around and went into this one room and came back and the light was off. then we went back down to the second floor and me and my friends were messin around and we went  up to the third floor with all the lights off and saw nothing but the door open and the light from the street lights shining in. well after we went back down we decided to go back up for one last time hoping to see something and stupid me i said i didn't believe in ghost as we went up well i looked to my left and the door that was open was now shut and as i turned (my friend were already runing down the stairs by now) to look straight infront of me there he was full figured dude staring at me with his white eyes and right were he was standing was were they use to hang people by there hands frome the ceiling. (mental people) lets just say i was as white as could be and my skin color is brown not white . so i ran down the stairs and them me and another friend of mine went back up there to see him again. but instead of seeing him we felt him swarming around us like bees and he touched my friend (she thought it was me touching her) we could totally feel his ora. lets just say when we got out side we could feel him with us and we were not speaking and im a talkative person. but after i got saged i was back to normal so the moral of the story is don't go into a haunted place and say you don't believe in ghosts or you may actually see him. oh and just to let you know every halloween he comes and visits me in my sleep. creepy right?

Fireworks,  I can't say that I really believe in ghosts but I have a friend who does.  In fact, I had to admit this, but sometimes, I've had that same feeling, peripherally, seeing someone and distinctively FEELING it but turning to face it and there's nothing there.  I told her this and she told me that perhaps I was visited by a spirit.  Of course, I listened to her but I was thinking, wow, she's crazy.  But...I'm not so sure.  So, she  belonged to this group that met, spiritually.  Some of them were gifted to see these spirits.  I know this might sound crazy but they went around the room and "saw" these spirits, which were normally spirits of someone that person knew.  For me, the woman was seeing my aunt who had just recently passed and told me that everything was okay and for me to stop worrying about her.  \n\nThe English word "spirit" comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning breath.\n\nI know that these "spiritual" sightings can be a lot of hogwash but you know, I have to say that I do believe it is possible.  I was frightened by this when it first began to happen but I really believe that what you see is not imagined.  I'm serious.  I still see them (not as often as before) but I think I am no longer afraid since my friend had me go to one of those meetings.  \n\nYes, I think it's normal.  I also think people will not admit they see it too.  Honestly, I won't admit it either.  Just here....because I think only a few close to you will believe you.  I do have another friend who believes in ghost.  So does my husband.  I don't admit it with them because - I think I'm too scared to open up the realization that this can be true and I'll be seeing them all the time.    \n\nI think if I didn't watch scary movies so often, I would be afraid of these spirits. :)

Yes, I was living in a two-story house in WV. I was sleeping in the attic after some reading and something went by the light that startled me I said who's there no one answered. I notice my closet door quack open a little so I looked inside and saw two red glowing eyes looking right at me, so I close the closet door and went to my dad and we went back to my room and he open the closet door anw and shined a flashlight at that spot and that red glowing eyes vanish until he turned off the flashlight and it was back again.We went donwstairs and we looked at each other thinking we were crazy.Another was me and my mother was in the kitchen ,she was writing letters and I was washing dishes and we heard something strange sound coming from the wall next to the stove and followed the sound to only hearing breathing and seeing the wall in and out as if someone or something was presant. I got out of there. The every last time I was in the kitchen and mom and dad was in the livingroom watching tv and the wall started up and this time my dad came into the kitchen and this time the wall breath to "GET OUT" 3x's like that, the hairs all over stood on end I shaken all over and could't stay anymore in that house. Moved away to new location felt better and one New Year Eve I went with a friend to the store and I decided to see if that house was still there as I looked up this thing was greyish/white all over and the same red glowing eyes looking at me, I shaked again and my friend came out and came over were I was looking at this thing and it scared her too.I didn't believe in stuff like this now that has change.

I believe you.  There's probably nothing wrong with you, because there are lots of people who have seen spirits.  If what you're saying is true, of course they would be happy to see you!  Cause they know if you can see them or not!  Don't worry about a thing.  They can't hurt you, and if you can see them, maybe you can help them.  My nephew and my ex's best friend both saw the same girl in my sister's house...and she doesn't "live" there.  Hmmm...

I have experienced ghosts.  In one home I was in w/ my oldest daughter, we had been experiencing things.  She stayed home one day and we went into the basement.  The dead center of it.  There were no boxes around us and no one else in the house w/ us.  We said the Lord's Prayer and held hands.  Then we said out loud "ok we know you are here.  Show us!"  The next thing we knew, a box was kicked on the other side of the room.  Showed a footprint and all.  Quite freaky.

I have read documented accounts of "ghosts" appearing in photographs that weren't visible when the pictures were\ntaken,and being recognized as dead family members and the like. Also,recordings have been made in houses reputed to be haunted,and voices were heard on the tape that weren't\naudible at the time. I can't believe all such cases are fraud,there's too many of them.\n \n Maybe ghosts only appear to certain people who have the ability to detect them,unlike most of us. Most people who claim to be psychics are frauds,but there are people with\ngenuine psychic abilities in the world. Also,maybe some ghosts have unfinished business with certain people. \nAs we are the living,there's no way to know.

From what all you have said, I would say at least that room is haunted, if it happens, no where else. It doesn't seem like it is out to harm anyone, just wants recognition that it's there. Anndearheart
