Shadow people are trying to feed off me

Hey, I'm back. The problems have come back. The whole putting the blanket around my neck isn't working because the creature just goes to a different part of my body. I also tried praying and it helped for about a week, but the creature has returned again. I've seen it several times again.

I do think that you could be right about sleep paralysis as I do have trouble moving during the experience, but even if it is that, there is clearly a very spiritual component to it that has to be dealt with. I don't want to write it off as a sleep disorder. It's clear that this being is doing something to my body. If it was just a scary figure that moved around or stood there, then I wouldn't care. I can feel an electrical vibrating sensation around the area that it is touching and it radiates through my whole body.

So what is this? Is it a demon? What can I do?

The whole camera thing doesn't really seem like the best idea, but I might try it. Does the EMF detector store what it read because I might not be able to read it when it's happening.



No. If you do find it let me know. Thanks!



Would you mind sharing them?


I'm sorry to hear this is still happening to you. I believe what you have to say. You can try the Michael prayer and I know of a few others to use. I have them from when I had my own home blessed. I can send them to you. In the meantime here's a link that Debi posted along with some valuable information. Did you play with Ouija boards? Did you do anything with the occult? Practice witchcraft? When did this activity start?

I'm not going to speculate as to what it is. There's far too many things out there to throw a label out this early.

The EMF meter isn't a recording device, it's only a sensor. You could always have a recording device near it to pick up if it's going off. Though you may not want to know. I actually don't use mine anymore at all.

PNF Suggestions for Paranormal Activity Problems

Great advice Fizz. In a spiritual war you MUST keep up prayer daily. Get a blessed medal like a cross or saint and wear it to bed. Saging the house first and then blessing the entrances to your home. Just a few suggestions that are in the recommendations. If all your efforts fail its time to see a Priest or shaman of your faith.

Okay... this...
Hi,

I am a new member here. I am not someone who's into UFOs, ETs, etc. I do, however, believe these shadow creatures are real.
I have had countless experiences of seeing shadow people while in a semi-awake state. I never see them while fully awake...

There are RULES... Not many but they are firm... as to a human beings Rights and the Laws darkness HAS to uphold. ONE of those Rules is Free Will. darkness can trick a human into violating his own free will or signing over his free will or what ever... but free will must be freely given over. Period. No touching, misting, hovering close to and most CERTAINLY NO feeding prong sucking energy from your neck. Humans REALLY need to learn their Rights. ewwwwwwwww... Here.
I demand, through my God Given Gift of Free Will and in the Name of Jesus Christ The Son of God and his Emissary ... Get the frick off me. Never touch me again. Ever. By The Power of The Light and The Son and Through Christ, his Father The One God, The Creator JEHOVAH - Get the frick OFF ME NOW... Back up back off you demon seed PUKE .. 3 times. There... That's done.

I would have said Michael, but if this story is true it grosses my Spirit out so bad I'm going straight to the top. ewwwwww. Why are you just laying there? Get UP Get OUT... something. ewwwww....

On to brighter notes: Compared to that anyway...


I have tried to keep my reading up here at Debi's house and I find all the shadow people entries interesting... I have some time... So thought I would offer my experience's of shadow people, how I viewed them, and it's all just MY thoughts and opinions.

In my personal experience I have witnessed the Fedora wearing black caped Spanish looking attire shadow person several times... always at a distance, always standing up on the bluff line and generally in front of one of the "cave entrances" (we'll call them).

He seems basically human sized, blends with or comes out of shadows but has form. Definitely male aspect, that's a cape he is wearing and despite what your neighbor tells you... he's not from The Covenant, The Sword and The Arm of The Lord compound trying to scare you off your property cause they want it... This One is not particularly aggressive (at least toward me and mine) but not going to mess with that dude anyway, anytime, anywhere, any world... because he's got a job and he doesn't know or care what we are or who we know or what we are doing... nothing but ant's to this one... just DON"T.

DON'T Call, poke, ask, acknowledge, summon, look at through binoculars, laugh at, sneer at, beat your chest and say I am Man or I am Woman and You must obey my command's cause I'm a cool paranormal dude/dudette, don't attempt to film, or take a picture, or interview, or investigate... or attempt in any way to BANISH this One.. Just Don't interfere at all. Not your business... Go about your day... because he's powerful business like, powerfully busy, and powerfully serious about whatever his job is...

My final thought on Fedora dude? He's in charge of some nasty s*it. I don't get close enough to even TRY to discern if he's the good guy in charge of the bad guys or the bad guy in charge of the good guys. NOT going to get that close. Not going to attempt to pick up a vibrational signature. Screw it. Call a Guardian. Call an Archangel. Crap... Call them both. This One is above your pay grade... This One... He's not the guard he's the fricken Warden. If he exists on THIS plane, probably underground... WAY underground.

The good news is this One NEVER has encroached or attempted to encroach on my territory as in he is not interested in me or mine and what he IS interested in is, well, anybody's guess... BUT... if you decide and some have, to place yourself in HIS territory ~ he'll look, he'll see you, and you will absolutely understand humans are NOT the top of the food chain. Anyone within the whole dang viewing area that glimpse's HIS eyes... when he locks onto YOUR eyes will know it. You just can't unsee that. ~

Little dude shadow people - awwww... about 3 to MAYBE 4 foot tall. Timid. HIDE in Shadow but actually have a form. Black cloak blends nicely with black shadows in trees, bushes, and once behind my wood stove. If there is a face, they are either very uninteresting OR, and this is my suspicion... have the ability to affect momentary short-term memory by slight of hand, chemical emission... I don't know... their shadow people... and this "gift or weapon" is why they continue to elude and HOW they elude those "other guys" that are looking for them and not particularly good at it. THOSE one's looking are NOT shadow people. ~

This leaves two other types that I have personally witnessed.

The slinker's and The red-eyes.

The slinker's are shadow people forms that look somewhat human but are either somewhat transparent and NOT solid or not totally HERE. These slinker's appear to be almost flat, just like a shadow, 2 dimensional what evers...Oblong heads, long arms, long torso, long legs kind of things... and THEY are the slinker's. They slink on all fours from an indeterminate point in the bedroom that is in the far western corner of the cabin... then out the bedroom door or under it if it is closed, along the baseboards, behind the tv or entertainment center or whatever particular item of furniture or other that happens to be along that wall in that particular month or year, then out from behind that and into the far eastern corner of the cabin and all of this is following a certain and never-changing track or path that ends at the corner where wall and front door meet...Southern/East with door being due east. UNTIL they reach their final destination and then we don't talk about what goes on there.

I have made many efforts to stop this little slinkage through my house over the years and pleaded my case to The Higher Powers of Light. But hey... they apparently aren't of or in or capable of manifesting in THIS physical world so not dangerous... and I should have left well enough alone and maybe they wouldn't need to be rounded up... No comment.

The Red-Eyes. Spooky Spooky Spooky. Again, about 4 foot tall, black robed and hooded, bright glowing fire engine red eyes. Run in packs. Have some kind of form but easily shape shift or bend light rays or what the ever... into a seamless shadow even if you are brave enough to get up close.

You know that movie Ghost. The things that come up through the ground to get that guys soul when he dies.. those things. Closest to this I can come.

Again, scary scary scary. Don't mess with. Run in packs. Possible eat souls or drag them to hell or etc... BUT, after 3 or 4 flipping heart attacks as they swarmed down Old Mountain, I established that the only time they pack, herd up, get on their sled things and come down Old Mountain is when someone or ones are darkly violent or beating their wife's or raping the land or have hidden demonic mischief in their hearts etc and other not nice things... and according to the one's they ascend on, in BROAD daylight, who are 100% sure where and who they are heading and can't move... not one muscle so... they immediately paralysis you, Spiritually terrorize you, promise you they'll see you in a appointed time, show you what happens then, and all jump back in their sled thingy and back up old mountain they go.

That is the routine for humans. What they do down in those cavern's, or caves, or portals they seem to materialize from is ANYONE'S guess. But if witnessing that little ditty doesn't convince you to go All Light ALL the time - you deserve what ever you get.

I have probably watched this dance a half dozen times, although they aren't always here, it's more like a scheduled visit or waiting for or whatever once a year or so...never alone, there have always other witnesses so I guess they like the audience and when someone walks or drives or hikes or squats and hides until... Walks up this driveway with evil dark violent or demonic etc intentions ... here the little beggar's come loading up in those sleds and down that Mountain gleefully and fast fast fast so you KNOW that the intention is dark cause YOU keep your sh*t right because uh NO... those one's get ONE warning. I am a Child of The Light. This Land belongs to the Christ and through him The Father. If are not of The Light you can't be here. Standard intent sharing... and then they are on their own.

I AM NOT coming out there and save your as* from that swarm. When those sleds hit the bottom of Old Mountain I'm going in the cabin and turning on Andy Griffith. It's Every man for himself. I don't go to hell for anyone. ANYONE. No. Not my kids. No No NO... not my mother, brother, sister, all the saints and neighbors.... NO. You have your feather I have mine. NO. Can't do the time don't do the crime. That's a firm uh huh. Sorry had a glimpse once and lost a solid section of my heart and a solid chunk of my Soul in a butterflys breath of time. They just just blackened and crumbled to the floor dead dead dead. huh uh. Nope.

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking with it. :rolleyes:

Okay. I'd go for The Christ. My soul for his. And maybe The Blessed Mother Goddess. But that's it. :sweat:

Your description of the slinkers is exactly what I saw once at work. Thanks for the wise explanations.

PNF Suggestions for Paranormal Activity Problems

Alright, so let's get more deeply into this. The first time I saw this creature was probably about 5-6 years ago. At the beginning, it didn't come very often. Like once a month and then it slowly started coming more often. At the time I had been experimenting with psychedelics. I knew there was a problem in my life at that point, but I wasn't quite sure of the details and that's why I messed around with psychedelics. No witchcraft or occult stuff! I never saw the creature before that. It wasn't immediately after, so it isn't obvious, but I think it plays a role.
Ever since my life has been going down hill. Things easily go wrong for me. Now, I understand that might just be a mindset, but it seems like another level.

The main problem I have in my life is I don't have any love at all. There is something wrong with my parents that makes them unable to love (I don't want to go into details). I also do not have a partner due to living in the middle of nowhere. I feel like I have very low energy on a daily basis and it's hard for me to relax and be at peace.
I feel like I had no free-will in the matter. My bad circumstances were largely determined by my parents and they made the wrong choices. Now I have to deal with it.

I am working toward moving away from this place and starting a life somewhere. Trying to find a partner. I haven't felt loved since I was a child.

In the meantime. I just wish it would go away. I got enough to deal with.

If you want more details on my life, I can provide.

Great advice Fizz. In a spiritual war you MUST keep up prayer daily. Get a blessed medal like a cross or saint and wear it to bed. Saging the house first and then blessing the entrances to your home. Just a few suggestions that are in the recommendations. If all your efforts fail its time to see a Priest or shaman of your faith.

I'll try some of that. But a lot of that I can't do because my parents will think I've gone insane.

Okay... this...

There are RULES... Not many but they are firm... as to a human beings Rights and the Laws darkness HAS to uphold. ONE of those Rules is Free Will. darkness can trick a human into violating his own free will or signing over his free will or what ever... but free will must be freely given over. Period. No touching, misting, hovering close to and most CERTAINLY NO feeding prong sucking energy from your neck. Humans REALLY need to learn their Rights. ewwwwwwwww... Here.

Yes, it is gross lol.
In terms of free will. So you are saying that I must have allowed this thing to attack me? Well, I must have been deceived then.

There are a lot of ways I could have been deceived because as I said earlier - I don't have any love. I did some bad things like lusting over someone I knew was a bad person, but I had no other options at that point.

I am very alone where I currently live. All my friends are long distance. I think this plays a huge role in why I am being attacked.

Whenever I try to talk to this thing, it repeats back to me what I just said. It doesn't seem to have any intelligence. It is becoming clear that it is not mocking me, but that it either is me or has some very close connection to me.
It seems to come and go in segments. I will see it a few nights in a row and then it will disappear for a few days and then come back again. I have tried praying, but I admit, I haven't used any official prayers yet. I just ask god for protection. I will write a prayer down now so I can say it.

Your 20's are a hard time imo.Drugs lower your defences and if your feeling down might attract negative energy that your open to.You may be lonely but try not to withdraw into yourself,it can get very deep.I think being a guy you need a hobby,maybe join a group with something that takes your interest.I live isolated,just comparing experiences on here has helped me with my life a lot.Try and put out a happy friendly vibe(the girls love it) and you will meet someone to go through your long life ahead with,Yeah, don't dwell on these entities and tell them to leave,and mean it.

Synaps, after reading your background, it sounds like you’ve lived with a lot of trauma or stressors. There is a theory that some people who are sensitive and live under stress can release chaotic energy which may take on its own form. It’s possible this shadow person was created from this. Finding a positive way to deal with your problems and stress will stop feeding this thing and it will dissipate. Positive self talk, happy music, house cleaning, prayer or meditation all will help. This is just something to try. I’m just making a guess at what you may be seeing.

As for being alone and feeling unloved, that is a very personal matter that everyone has to work out somehow. I will offer up what may sound like a cliche but it is still the truth. Learn to love yourself and have confidence. This will shine through to others. Get out and do stuff. Have conversations with people and be open and friendly. Start loving life and have a grateful heart even if it’s just for waking up in the morning. I’m telling you that if you will force yourself to do these things love will come to you. At the least you will be busy and have many friends. That in itself is a good life.

I have to agree with that! I was alone and lonely for many years; my only child had moved out and I came close to suicide many times. It wasn't until I developed a positive relationship with myself, that I met the man who became my husband. The desperate, needy person that I was, before, didn't attract anything but trouble. You have a basic good inside you, and reaching out to that good is what will help you defend yourself against evil. I am glad you are posting here, because we are here for you!
 
Synaps, I am a new member here myself. I’m sorry your going through this. It’s very frightening having beings come to you while your sleeping. I’ve read your posts and feel compelled to comment. Your specific age isn’t stated that I can tell but I’m guessing you are in your 20’s. A very difficult time for many of us. Spiritually, emotionally and hormonally. I’d like to share my experiences with you. I hope you won’t feel I’m hijacking your post by talking about what happened to me. I’m not interested in council or explaination at this point. I’ve made peace with what I’ve experienced.
As a teenager I would have frequent episodes where I woke up during sleep. I would not be able to move. The door was open with a bright light outside, I’d see a shadow form then I’d hear an intense humming. A vibration would engulf my senses, louder and louder. I felt something was on top of me. Against my body. Sometimes I would scream in terror but nobody came for help. I was screaming silently, maybe only in my mind out of sheer terror. The vibration in my head would grow and I’d lose consciousness, or go back to sleep. I’m unsure. It seemed like something dark and predatory was visiting me. This was before forums like this where you can talk about experiences and get guidance. I was silent. This went on, every few weeks I’d have an episode. I didn’t feel safe sleeping. I eventually told my grandmother who was very open and my aunt sent me some sacred sage for smudging and a hollow clay cicada with aromatic herbs inside to put in my room. They took me seriously which was both reassuring and uncomfortable. I did what my aunt suggested and smudged my house casting out any spirits or entities inside. This worked for me. Whether it was real or just psychological I can never be sure. I have a tendency to doubt myself and feel as though I’m a weirdo experiencing things. I had no more experiences and that was a blessing. Fast forward many years and during a spiritually, hormonally and emotionally difficult time, my pregnancy with my first child, the experiences started up again. I lived across the country at this time. I’d be in bed sleeping with my husband and I’d awaken, My door would open, the hall was flooded with a bright light. I like our hall lights it was brilliant, uncomfortably bright. There would be something outside which came in then resting above me. Screaming with no response from my partner I would feel the loud hum grow and overtake me until a went back into my unconscious. I never tried talking to it. Your brave. My partner used to experience night terrors and I shared my experience which he felt was sleep paralysis. I wasn’t convinced. Why would it always be a dark figure? What was the vibration that overtook me? After I gave birth I didn’t experience it again until late into my next pregnancy where it happened with alarming frequency. I fought it as I always had. Screaming for help, pushing for movement of my limbs, but I always fell into the vibrations and went to nothingness. I decided that I wouldn’t give it power. When I was awakened I would close my eyes, breathe deeply, and think of my happy place honestly. The vibrations came, but the terror and impotent screaming stopped. I fell back into a sleep that felt warm not foreboding. I haven’t had a single episode since #2 was an infant. I can’t be sure why, but if it was something hungry and evil I wasn’t giving it the power of my fear. I still wonder about what it was. The explanation of sleep paralysis fits I suppose. But I don’t fully accept it.
