Shadow People: Who Are They?

Written by Jason Shields

It is in the wee hours of the morning and you are laying in bed unable to sleep. Some thing that you can't quite pin down is troubling you: an eerie feeling, someone may be watching you from the depths of darkness in a corner of the room. You may have experienced an instance where you awoke suddenly, only to find yourself paralyzed, unable to move let alone call out. It is the light of day and you are in your kitchen doing the dishes or some other daily chore when, out of the corner of your eye, a black figure moves quickly only to vanish the moment you turn to investigate. An untold amount of my clients have related various versions of the same theme: shadows moving in the day and night appearing and vanishing in the same moment. What are they? Can they harm you?

Shadow people is the term used to describe these mysterious and somewhat elusive beings. History is replete with stories and legends of shadow people haunting the lives of our ancestors. Many historians have referred to them as Shadow Demons or Shadow Folk. Their personalities have been described as having a wide spectrum of shy and skittish to macabre and malevolent. Accounts of shadow people are worldwide and vary slightly from culture to culture.

I have seen and dealt with these creatures throughout my life. Children and pets are incredibly intuitive and open and can easily perceive these dark beings with the naked eye. As a child, I saw spirits, ghosts and shadow people, but I never was truly afraid of them. They were simply “pests” as my psychic grandmother referred to them. For every shadow person I saw, there were two spirits of light that came to surround me and protect me as I observed their various behaviors. Some would wisp around like dark smoke taking various forms of human beings or vicious animal-like shapes. Others would bellow out deep growls towards me in order to frighten me, but to no avail. I've always been fortunate to have had a psychic grandmother who understood what I went through as a child and I knew who and what the Shadow Folk represented.

Shadow beings are inter dimensional beings which travel through the first five dimensions of space-time. We, as physical humans live in the first four dimensions: height, depth, width and time. I am currently writing a book on the 11 Dimensions of our reality for future release for a better understanding of each dimension. Here, I shall try my best to provide a short lesson. Time is fluid and ever moving in all directions. For us, it moves linearly, in a seeming one way direction from past to present to future. The Fifth Dimension is the Astral Plane where most of us visit either in meditation while we visualize what we would like to create in our lives, while we astral travel, or while we are asleep and dreaming;. The Fifth Dimension is the gateway to the higher dimensions of what we would call higher realms of consciousness.

Shadow beings are a composite of negative energy formed by the conglomeration of all of the “stray” negative thoughts that we think on a daily basis. Recall that not every negative thought that you think manifests instantly or directly into your life. Thank God they do not! Nonetheless, a thought, positive or negative is energy and is projected outward and into the higher realms. This coagulation of energy can take on many different forms in our world: shadow beings, mischievous trolls and gnomes (not all gnomes in the spirit world are malevolent) and gremlins. I always say “the energy has to go somewhere”. As we sleep, especially, we dream and visit the astral realm where our subconscious fears manifest in a variety of forms from delusional parallel realities where a loved one you lost is once again alive to a seven-headed monster chasing you down a dark corridor. In essence, we give shape to these “things” on a subconscious level and they tend to take on the personalities of their creators.

Here is a fundamental truth: if you created them, you can destroy them. The predicament that we find ourselves in often is that we fear the unknown and the “darkness” of the world and this fear literally feeds these beings. This is often the reason why we feel drained after an encounter with a shadow person. When you fear that a thing or person can literally harm you physically, mentally, or spiritually, you are giving that energy being permission to do so. It is natural to jump suddenly when you see a shadow being dart out of the corner of your eye. For a brief moment, you are afraid, but that is not the type of fear that I am talking about. The former is a natural, biological built-in response which enables us to move quickly from harm's way if a bus were barreling down the road we are walking upon. The latter is more sinister in that we “think” and ponder on who or what it is that we are seeing or feeling and “demonize” the energy. Another issue worth mentioning is a solicitation not to engage in conversation with these “beings”. They are highly volatile in nature and even though to a curious mind it may seem worth engaging, nothing but incomprehensible gobbledygook can be obtained.

Shadow Beings have been photographed throughout history.

Energy can be transformed. There are many techniques that you can use to rid yourself of Shadow Beings when or if they invade your household. Simple prayer often transforms the negative energy into light. Darkness cannot exist in light and vice-versa. Call on the Archangel Michael, angel of the element of fire to surround you and protect you with what I call the “White Flames”. Simply visualize yourself and the entire room engulfed in warm white flames of fire that purify the surrounding space while repeating a mantra of your choice: Ohm, God, Allah, etc. If you are more of a physically minded person who loves to take “action,” you may cleanse the room with a good cedar/sage blend of incense. Going counter-clockwise from the doorway of the room, smudge the area with the incense by wafting its smoke into the corners and along the borders of the room while visualizing white light increasing in intensity. Hold a white candle while praying a personal prayer of positive energy and protection and then light it in the center of the room while meditating.

Remind yourself often that you are in control of your own reality and that you have the power and love of the Universe to transform any negative energy/being that comes into your life. This is the same admonishment given regarding shadow people. It is simply energy that can be transformed.
