What are Shadow People?

By Karen Smith-Carr

Shadow people, what are they? I wish I could come right out and tell you a definitive answer, but one has yet to be presented. Perhaps you have seen them while doing mundane things about your own home. You catch a fleeting glimpse from the corner of your eye. You believe that it was a dark shape of a human being. A large section of the population has experienced just that same thing.

Most times they present as a human shape often caught in one's peripheral vision. Dark, with no distinct shape, these figures are both frightening and puzzling. Some people have seen them with glowing eyes of red or green. They are usually only visible for a few moments. But what are they? I have found several plausible schools of thought. They are most commonly thought to be ghostly manifestations of a benign sort. I have read it described as like a weak television signal. If the signal was a bit stronger, we'd get a better picture. This is why I account for them being benign. They are like weak imprints left behind.

Another theory is that they are extra-dimensional. Perhaps we are being granted a brief view into another realm beyond our own. Think of it like watching one television channel and another one bleeds through. We are just seeing what is transpiring in another dimension or "channel".

I, too, have had these experiences in my own home. While doing ordinary, everyday things, I have seen the shape of a man pass right by me. It is not a shadow cast upon a wall, for the darkness appears in the center of rooms. I am usually alone at the time. There is also the shape of a woman and small child spotted by my husband and myself.

We at APS are dedicated to investigating such paranormal phenomena. We hope to bring you stronger evidence and answers! Our research is ongoing, every single day. Whether ghosts or other dimensions, we want to present you with the truth as we find it.
