Only in the 4 kids apparently!

I don't believe in this paranormal stuff but why would someone dress in all black from head to toe and sprint down a random street in the middle of the night?

Good point. That sounds kind of unlikely doesn't it.

 

[xxracerxx]

Yea, but there is no one like that in my neighborhood. It could be someone that just moved in. I'll keep an eye out for people with weird workout routines and ask them if they were the one I just saw.

You know people run around new streets all the time, right? I would hate to do the same route over and over again.

 

[Johndoey]

I frequently wear all black and stand in front of windows. Pm me breh I'll tell you if it was me.

Occam's razor, man.

Robbery, jogger, there are plenty of logical explanations rather than consodering "shadow people".

 

[Ferrio]

This is the other side of the story when someone calls the police because of a strange black man isn't it?

 

[xxracerxx]

Should have chased after him with your cellphone.

 

[PK Gaming]

 

[hydragonwarrior]

It could be a cat with an elongated shadow due to the light

 

[Hypemaster]

Yeah I've seen them.

 

[Joyful]

memento mori op

 

[SymbiantXenos]

And now i lay me down to sleep

 

[Gaz_RB]

lol yeah lets jump to the most outlandish thing we can think of.

 

[How About No]

Shadow people have better things to do than stand over you while you sleep. Like a midnight jog, for instance.

Or surveying or assassinating more high-profile individuals than most of us.

 

[cirrhosis]

sorry for your sleep paralysis

it sucks. i've only seen them four times but thats three times too many.

[Alucrid]

op just saw his first goth ninja

 

[BadHand]

I'm a little freaked out. I was peeking out my front window through the blinds to see if my front street light was working and there I saw it, a shadow person, in full view sprinting down the street...

Surely this is just some trick of the light.

There's no mistaking it, it was not a trick of the light or something I saw out of eye corner of my eye.

Well fuck. Must be a shadow person then.

 

[Violet_0]

a while ago I saw someone starring through a window into my room out of the corner of my eye. I went out to checked and called for them but nobody was there, and no one believed me that I saw a person on our property. Later that day I noticed there was something pinned on the front door, and upon further inspection it turned out to be an fashion catalogue. The guy that I saw was just a nosy door-to-door salesman. Another mystery case solved

 

[lastplayed]

No. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. No alarms, sirens, shouts, or screaming. Just a shadow person out for a sprint... why was it sprinting?

To get away from the aliens.

 

[weshes195]

Seriously though, hard to see something that isn't there

 

[JCX]

What are your doing on GAF? Get out there, face yourself, and get a shiny new Persona.

 

[injurai]

op just saw his first goth ninja

That's a Nazgul.

 

[neojubei]

The beings are called shadow entities, please respect their space.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

What an astonishingly dumb thread.

I mean, I hate to just thread shit like this, but wow.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Don't go outside OP

or they might grab you

Spoiler

All jokes aside it probably your eyes playing tricks on you. If you see them again I would immediately go and see a doctor. You might be having a breakdown and the sooner you seek treatment the better your prognosis for a full recovery

 

[BadHand]

Could it have been a panther running away on its hind legs?

 

[Übermatik]

A cat or other animal with it's shadow stretched out by a sharp light at a low angle of incidence?

 

[Wallach]

Good point. That sounds kind of unlikely doesn't it.

Exactly. Doesn't add up.

One time a man walked through my enclosed small backyard.

Spoiler

It was the meter guy.

Spooky!

 

[Shredderi]

You know those stories in horror films where a person or a few are in a house and there is that evil presence there haunting them, maybe even harming them. Well consider yourself lucky because you were not the protagonist of that story this time. You were the random citizen in the background who was on camera for a split second.

 

[Zukuu]

 

[Übermatik]

Also I've seen shadow people before, but only when less than sober...

 

[Darksol]

why would someone dress in all black from head to toe and sprint down a random street in the middle of the night?

Because they burgled someone.

Yeah that feels more like someone trying to scope out a place for a robbery and using being a door to door salesman as cover. That or they are creepily obsessed with their job. "Sir I see you in there in your bathrobe I won't leave until you answer the door and talk with me..."

 

[triplestation]

@ spooky $ me

 

[PJV3]

The mystery is solved.

Lol I came to make an Occams Razor post. Glad I read the replies first.

[Klaymator14]

is this him op

 

[weshes195]

He must have blinked and missed the red and blue

 

[NewGame]

truth is out there... shadows are REAL

 

[Gragen]

Sounds like you got into an excellent bag of cow turd mushrooms.

 

[QuantumDerp]

No. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. No alarms, sirens, shouts, or screaming. Just a shadow person out for a sprint... why was it sprinting?

Maybe that was the shadow person walking speed. You know, maybe one of those perk after becoming shadow person, like flying when you become a vampire.

In all honesty, you don't got to worry about it. Because you should there is a shadow person attached to you during the day, during the night when you are sleeping, it will roam free. What you probably saw was someone's shadow roaming free.

Think of the shadow person, looking over you when you are having a panic, a sort of defense mechanism. It watches over you. Protect you from the unknown.

How do I know this? You could say it is psuedo mystical knowledge that I have developed over the period of my life. The only evidence that I can provide is that is to look at your shadow very deeply.

op just saw his first goth ninja

That's pretty close to what I saw, minus the skirt and hood. I didn't see any jacket either, no clothes were flapping in the wind when this person was hauling.

 

[DECK'ARD]

"I don't believe in the paranormal but OH YOU BET YOUR ARSE I DO IT'S SHADOW PEOPLE!!!1!!"

 

[Trouble]

Shadow person you say?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Cardio is good for the shadow people as well.

Laugh out loud.

OP you might be in real life Shin Megami Tensei Persona.

 

[EBE]

swamp gas

 

[xxracerxx]

Wait...this shadow person was wearing a hoodie and you failed to mention that?
