Ok, am I the only one who is seriously fascinated all to hell with this whole 'shadow people' thing?? I want to know all about them. What they look like, what they sound like, how you know when someone is a 'shadow person', what kind of things they say... do they have special 'abilities'? Do they age? Is it like 'Beautiful Mind'? Are they ever people you have actually known? Do you miss them when they're gone? Why make them go away at all?

Are there shadow hamsters?

If I were a cat, I would be dead from the curiosity by now.

What I used to see were just outlines, black outlines vaguely humanoid in shape. Sometimes I would catch them out of the corner of my eye, sometimes they would appear standing right in front of me.
I never felt particularly scared by them but it could be unnerving especially if one appeared while I was in company with other people and it was obvious no one else could seen them.
I don't think they are ghosts or spirits and I ain't psychic, they were just delusional manifestations of my anxiety and paranoia.

No kidding?!?! Then it actually is more like the wiki 'shadow people'. Apparently lots of people see stuff like that.

I have never seen them until I was diagnosed as delusional and they have gone away since getting medication and treatment so I have no doubt they weren't paranormal in nature.
I have heard of the general "shadow people" thing before but I've always put them down to non-paranormal origins, tricks of the light/shadow, the brain misreading visual stimulus etc.
