Remember people: Australia is Southern Hemisphere. December is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere, not Winter, therefore it is Summer when Christmas rolls around. Hopefully this should stop people from asking why it was hot and humid in the first story :-D
How awfull, I hate summer
People really need to be reminded of this? On second thought, I guess they do. Some people really are that obtuse.
Love Australians but fuck Australia.

Bedtime stories I'm hoping I hear back from you because I've always ask the same question to people when I watch videos on shadow people.
When I was young I had this experience of a tall shadow man who would stand at the end of my bed but my different experiences is I was never scared of him my feelings of him were calm not fear,
Do you know of anyone else having this same thing of not being scared when they see the shadow man???

Shadow man "How about now?"

He got friends on the other side

Hat Man was a constant of my childhood in the Seventies. It's wild to see all these videos so many years later.
Be positive then they will go away. Dont give them any thoughts and dont be scared. They cant do anything to you
Exactly the more attention you give to them the more power they get if you ignore it then it’ll move on they are after the energy that people are giving them.
@Nature Witch don’t give them energy. We are their source
@Nature Witch No he's right, I stopped doing illicit substances and somewhat heavy drinking, stopped arguing with/dating my negative ex and she and I both stopped seeing them
They feed off fear and destructive, negative thoughts and energy. I've seen them my entire life (I had trauma/ptsd beginning in early childhood), and they still pop up several times a week. If I find myself being pulled down (emotionally- anxiety/fear/depression) too far I make a point to stop, do deep breathing meditation and send loving compassionate thoughts to all beings (Thich Naht Hanh is a wonderful teacher for anyone needing a starting place) and they really do eventually leave you alone. When I was younger I just ignored them/pretended they were figments of my imagination, and that works too, but generally not as well.
I've only had one super notable experience with the hat man and in my experience he is more of a spirit regulator. Like he just posts up in the corner to make sure the others don't get too rowdy or push people too far. (I happened to be pregnant with my twins at the time.) He wouldn't respond to my enquiries and just generally ignored me as a rule, but you could tell that he was incredibly intimidating and didn't take crap off of anyone. He kinda felt like the night watch, lol. I actually felt more calm and reassured when he was there.
Exactly. People with positive aura repels them .
"Do you ever feel like you are being watched?"
Well, I do now.
don't worry you always are being watched
My dog is watching me , always waiting for me to head toward her leash , or looking for a snack .
Lol
I always feel watched. I don't know if I'm paranoid or if it's the 3 ghost and the demon attached to me
Yeah, but it's just the kitties wanting a treat or something to eat.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. Part of my duties is to do the night shift. Over the course of the years I have experienced many strange and unexplainable ''happenings''. 1 of which is the shadow of a man with a Fedora hat. I can't say anything untowards has happened to myself or anyone close to me. I'm not the only 1 to have seen it. 'He' appeared to myself and a friend one night, just walked up the corridor and throught a set of doors like it was something that happens everyday. It doesn't scare us, just a bit weird.
If one of the psych patients wrote what you did their meds would be increased immediately. Must be nice to talk like you are batshit crazy and get away with it.
@@maryeverett8708 It's fantastic! I could write a book over what happens at home and at work. But I'm not going to!
@@Glamrockqueen Typical. All the lies about privacy. I bet you wonder why the patients don't trust you and don't want your help.
@@maryeverett8708 Nowhere does it say anything about privacy, or they don't trust me. I have experienced things, along with a lot of colleages. Get off that high horse luv.
@@Glamrockqueen OK. Your Majesty. I'm off my high horse but you are still one of those awful people full of their own self importance who are no help to anyone. Most people who study psychology/psychiatry do it to work out what's wrong with themselves and at the same time profit from 'helping' others.
Had one of these guys haunting me my whole life. Comes with sleep paralysis. Sometimes I see him, once he jumped on me and I felt the bed sag under it's weight. It always seems to want to carry me off. Like the second story, my wife once woke up to me not breathing and trying to fight it off. It disappeared as soon as she reached out to me.
Use the power of Jesus Christ to remove them. When attacked, focus your mind on the Holy Name of Jesus.
The person is either trying to take your soul, or warn you to leave your bed. The second one seems more likely considering the info you gave.
Watch the ‘dab tsog’ episode...
I believe sleep paralysis can't happen if you sleep on your sides, as all people who had it described themselves lying on their back. I personally my whole life sleep on my sides and never experienced sleep paralysis (no regrets :D). I also read it's much better for brain when your head turned to the side in sleep, as it helps brain to clean up and refresh it's cells, something about better flow of blood or cerebrospinal fluid...
@@user-jh5dq9vc1v I always sleep on my side, and have experienced sleep paralysis in a supernatural way. I wake up, unable to move, and I see them. I've been attacked, strangled, punched, and wake up with scratches on my neck or chest. I understand your objective mind rules out this phenomena as sleep paralysis, but once you experience it, and are being physically attacked, you think entirely different on this phenomena.

No sleeping after these stories. 😂
I used to see a shadow person all the time as a small child. Every night I would watch it gliding across all four walls until I fell asleep. I wasn't ever scared and nothing bad happened. It certainly didn't seem evil to me.
Actually one of the reasons why these things are not dispelled by skeptics is that they aren't deeply personal, our pets see them as well, and other people have as well, there have been reports by people who never knew their friends were having sleep paralysis in the night who have awoken during a friend's sleep paralysis incident to see shadow people and shadow creatures attacking their friends or loved ones. These reports dispel the notion that these are simply personal artifacts.

i've been dealing with them for three years. They attached themselves to me when my German Shepherd died. I suspect while completely abusing DMT my soul blipped on their radar and my dog was the one keeping them away (i think). Here are some things that I've learned about them
1. They can shift shapes, they can look like anything they want. They can become really tall or really small. They can look like animals or people, whatever they prefer
2. They can induce sleep paralysis and invade your dreams. They prefer to look like people you know
3. They have their own personalities and their own reasons for attaching themselves to you, none of which are good. They are all variations of evil
4. They are EXTREMELY hard to get rid of, I've tried everything the past three years. I still haven't figured out something that will make them leave, so if one attaches itself to you have fun
5. They really get off on your confusion and your fear, so don't be scared. After all they are less than you. This is what I tell myself to get to sleep. Just this morning one bit me on the hand and woke me up.
Jesus man how have you been since you posted this? That's insane
The same exact shit started happening to me.right After my DMT trip they started showing up
On cctv for weeks a hooded trench coat wearing person stood out front of our house , clearly there and not only shadow we could see wrinkles of the coat and hands ect , but it never paid us mind and i never got that gut instinct its bad , what bothers me is how it stood guard facing away impatiently waiting, but waiting and guarding for what did and does bother me.
Jesus is the answer

Lol wow.
Ive experienced something similar in the last story. Laying in bed trying to go to sleep and all of a sudden i heard heavy footsteps come into my bedroom. I didn't throw the covers over me, i just froze. I had my eyes shut already and just pretended to be asleep. Then i heard the footsteps walk out of my room and go into my sister's bedroom. I heard her say my name but she knew it wasn't me. She called me again and sounded distressed, but i was too frightened to do anything. Then i heard the footsteps leave her room, then nothing. Our parents were downstairs and we can hear the sound of the door every time they left that room. After half a hour my father came upstairs and my sister shouted him. I was still so scared i couldn't jump out of bed to them. Eventually my parents came into my room with my sister crying and i told them what had happened. My father searched the house and found no one. Its a fairly big old house with old windows upstairs that don't open and they painted shut. You can hear anyone walking up the old staircase plus we have a dog downstairs in the passage way. It can't of been a intruder! There is no way they could get in or escape without being heard or without having to use alot of force to get in or out. They didn't use the steps, plus why would they walk from one room to another with people sleeping, as they could be easily caught. Ive never been as scared in my life and it wasn't a dream or sleep paralysis as i hadn't fallen asleep yet, plus my sister experiencing the same thing. I totally believe that last story.
My late ex-husband and I both saw what I can only describe as a shadow giant one night in a state forest. It was terrifying.
One other time, I was loading pillows into the back seat of my car and I swear that for a moment there was someone on the other side of the car. I was startled when I stood up and saw someone there, so I jumped back... but then there was no one there.
Sasquatch. I'm deadly serious.

When I was a growing up I remember an incident that shaped my life. Our family was staying in a ratty side of the road motel. It was the middle of the night and I had to go pee. The restrooms were shared on each floor and as I was walking the hallway a shadow person peeked it's head around the corner directly ahead of me. He had no detail whatsoever except for two glowing red eyes and a discernable human shape. I vividly recall it's head leaning around the corner a dragging it's right hand on the wall. It was looking directly at me and I felt true terror when I made eye contact. The fear overwhelmed me and I ran back to the room in fear. My parents said I was seeing things and it was true. I recall there being an increased presence of flying insects in the room after seeing the shadow. I convinced my family to swap to a bigger hotel and as we were leaving I swear I saw a mosquito as big as the palm of my hand resting on a rock with it's abdomen swollen red.
It was not until more than 30 years later that I found out where we stayed was the most haunted hotel on the island of Hawaii.
Can say I've had a number of these sightings over my life, almost every time I have sleep paralysis. No hats that I've seen, but I can say they were mysteriously terrifying, in so far that no matter how many times it occurs I still feel the same terror that I felt the first time. Thankfully hasn't happened in a number of years
The only way to defeat the hat man is to wear a bigger and better hat and tip it at him at the right angle and hell back away slowly,
its a sign that he sees you as a man of culture as well.
Wow just wow😆😆😆😆😆
and don't question his constant statements that he respects women. there are some arguments which are best avoided.
Lmaoooo wtf
I'm now wearing a huge sombrero to bed every night.
Get a big hat and t pose on him
"Have you ever had the feeling of being watched when you were watching a video on youtube" Yeah, every damn time i watch your video's!

What so people who claim to have been abducted by aliens also have claimed that their homes are haunted? 😂
This video caught my eye because of a personal out of body experience that I had in my early 20s still living with my parents. Their home resides in a remote area in southern Michigan. The first picture reminds me of my bedroom at the time of this event even though I saw nothing outside the window as the shades were drawn. I fell asleep with some rain sounds on my computer during a cold fall night in Michigan. During this night I experienced a horrifying dream where a shrouded creature hovered in front of my computer and made its way towards me. Unable to speak, I just watched as it slowly made its way towards me paralyzing me with its gaze. I could make out no physical appearance other than its shroud (similar to the picture at 15:18 but with no legs). The darkness emanating from the figure was pure to the point of pulling light out of the room. When it finally was within a foot of my face it spoke in a clear dark malevolent voice that still haunts me to this day. I couldn't see its mouth or facial features as I searched for its eyes, only a sense of darkness as it said in the most sinister low pitched voice "Evil only enters when it is invited". As soon as it finished the sentence, a flash occurred and I was no longer in my body but running towards my own bedroom. Opening my bedroom door, I found the dark figure looking at my body as if it was going to enter or consume it, but I viewed it like a helpless observer. Terrified, I started yelling at it to go away. Right after, I woke up in my dark empty room in tears from it and quickly turned on the lights. I didn't sleep the rest of the night, keeping the light of my bedroom and living room (which was connected to my bedroom) on. I'm an atheist/skeptic that would easily brush off this story as just a dream but it felt more real than anything I've ever experienced. Did it happen? It was probably just a dream, but I will never forget the entire experience. I have never had a dream that felt that real in all my life since.
Hey Trevor, do you remember what did you do in that period of life so that the entity would tell you it was invited by you? I know it's too personal, but i am curious to learn more, not to dig into your life. But were you into alcohol, drugs, some cults, New age, occultic, mushrooms, etc.?
That's why I have no interest in meditation-induced out-of-body experiences or hallucinagenics. If you can leave your body, who's to say other things can't go in?
I was 15 when I saw three of them at the foot of my bed during a thunderstorm. Tall, inky black, and looked like they were wearing robes or cloaks.
It's past midnight.
Why do I do this to me?

Same but I'm also at work in a building all by myself pitch black outside and every 2 hours the lights turn off so I have to walk to the other side of the building and reset the timer
I lived in a council house in Chessington once and whenever I passed the lounge door I would see an old lady sitting in the armchair in the corner at the extreme of my peripheral vision but when I stepped back to check I would only see the chair. This happened often and was quite spooky.
Had similar experience with a shadow figure as a child when I was probably 4 or 5 years old. I remember having terrifying nightmares and woke up scared. I went to my parents room bc i wanted to get into bed with them. I remember going to their doorway and being frozen in terror and on my parents i saw an OVAL SHAPED SHADOWY FIGURE, that i descrive as an owl bc it was moaning or howling. I remeber running back to my bed and having the worst nights sleep ever. Tossing and turning and rolling thunder inside my head that wouldnt stop. This might have been a fevor dream, but idk. It was so vivid, i was awake! I have never forgot about it either.
I use to see shadows when I was about four . They came into my room at night . This was sixty years ago .I remember at least two at a time maybe more , it was 60 years ago and my earliest memories . I would freeze , terrified . They would walk to the bed and look at me , silently communicating with each other . Sometimes I would feel a splash of water on my face but still did not dare to move . When we moved out of that house , I never seen them again .

@@vitornunes4161 Hi Vitor. Toby Young is our researcher. He's also written a couple of episodes; Carl Robert Disch and San Pedro Haunting. His name is a pseudonym and he'd prefer not to show his likeness, so he's covered with a sheet. Hope this helps 🙂
I've honestly had my own experiences with shadow people, but almost always when I was either asleep dreaming or half asleep/ half awake taking a nap. In my case there were only two beings I mentally and physical fought. One was male humanlike and bald (I'll call him the abductor) and the other later in life was female humanlike with long hair ( I call her by only one name: The Murderess). Both beings were hostile and in dreams or dreamlike state were physically violent. The Murderess was particularly vicious in trying to choke me to death, and I would fully awake choking and gasping for air, with my neck either hurting or pounding from some tight pressure.
Both beings were eventually defeated. I figured out how to beat the sleep paralysis and fought. The abductor melting away and never returning, and the Murderess calling a truce and speaking a simple message about a family member she is tied to.
In either case, there was a way to fight back. And also a bitter lesson: that while most nightmarish or scary images in our dreams can be terrifying, it is even more troublesome for a dreamlike being or image to actually hurt you and or try to kill you, more than once...
and how did you accomplish this?
yes, how did you fight them
@jasondude7566 Dear Jason, it is hard to explain how I fought them. I've spent the past hour writing out an answer, only to encounter brainlock. I will get back to you once I get my thoughts organized.
Meantime, it is late. I will get some sleep.
Hey Jason! After some thinking, all while working my butt off over the Memorial Day Weekend, here's what I was able to remember in my encounters:
1. Over the course of the attacks by the first shadow creature, I began to pay attention more to the surroundings of where I was at during an attack and where I was once I woke up. In every instance, the attacks happened while I was dreaming in bed, and once I came out of that dream, to find myself in bed. Sometimes it will be morning, sometimes during the night.
Making the connection that this entity, in this instance, was making its presence known during a dream state, I did some research in libraries, learning about dream interaction: being a participant in a dream and not a spectator, or a victim.
Going beyond the limits of my physical numbness and letting my inner conscious: my inner spirit into being my arms and legs to fight back with.
It took several months of practice, which each repeated encounter being more successful in kicking, punching, grabbing, and even throwing that thing off of me.
The last encounter being the most amazing in that while my body was heavy and numb physically, my spirit within was able to move out of the bed, grab the shadow person by the neck, shoving it into a nearby closet, where the creature shrank and melted away into nothing.
Waking up from sleep with that kind of triumph not only put my mind at ease, but ever since, that first entity, the "abductor," never came back.
And that experience and the lessons learned proved lifesaving in dealing with the second creature.
I would share more, but I think this comment is long enough.
I hope this helps you and others, Jason. May God bless you and watch over you:)

I’ve bear witness to 3 different shadow people, in 3 different locations; all between the ages of 21-24.
I was able to identify their dispositions almost immediately with all 3 encounters. Either it be malicious, sorrow, or confusion/curiosity.
I have firm belief that these shadow people are in fact real; and only hope to never encounter them again.
I find it amazing that you were even able to pinpoint their ages to within 3/4 years.
I seen one last year in march in my cousin room after she passed away 🕊️
I don't often tell my stories because they're ridiculous, but I lived in a house for 14 years with one of these 'shadow people.' Sorry for the long read below, but I thought maybe the Bedtime Stories guys would be intrigued by them:
Up until age 14:
Every night, after my father and mother had gone to bed and the house was dark, things would start dropping in my room in the dark. It sounded like rocks or pebbles.
Dark shapes (outline of a human, but BLACK) would sweep across the room and then toward me.
Things would growl in my ear.
I would wake up with my blanket on the other side of the room (possible sleepwalking, but notable, regardless).
My cat wouldn’t enter my room. Once she did, she screamed, all her hair stood on end, and she tried to claw her way out of the window.
A heart locket was rolled down my back when I sat half-naked on my bed after a bath (12 years old). There was no one else in the room. To clarify: earlier in the day, I had ‘bowled - cricket’ the heart locket into the far corner of the bed. That night, when I sat down, it was still in the far corner. About a minute passed and then it was rolled (sharp, bump, sharp, bump) down my spine, from the base of my neck to my lower back. When I looked over my shoulder, there was no one there, and the heart locket was on the bed right behind me.
I never discussed these occurrences with my parents until I was much older. They then told me that before we’d moved into that house, a mentally ill boy had committed suicide/died in that room.
19 - 23:
I lived in a student house, where one other student and I witnessed an apparition: this was an old man, translucent, balding, and walking around outside. He seemed downcast/almost sad.
A different friend and I heard a noise in the passage and went to check it out (thinking it might be a burglar). We both witnessed the black outline of a man moving along the wall in a brightly lit corridor. The hall was empty.
Another friend of mine lived in a room nearby and complained of someone sighing/moaning in his room after dark. One night, he couldn’t take it and called me, so we all decided to sleep in one room together. We dragged his mattress out, left his lights on, his Bible open, and some Christian music on (he was Christian, and it gave him comfort). We came back to fetch his pillows. All the lights were off, the Bible was closed, the music was off, and all cupboard doors were open. (Once again, it was not actually witnessed myself, so I can’t say it wasn’t a prank - though, the house was empty except for the three of us, and we were all together at the time it happened).
I believe you I've had similar thimgs happen to me for years
Also had an experience with them. I saw a movement behind me and turned in time to see an unusually tall dark figure (like very slender) run out of sight and into another room with no door. I went in there immediately and there was nobody there. Glad actually. Had he been standing there, I would have flipped. :)
I had a shadow figure. I was told to get a sage stick and I smoked it out. You said it growled in your ear. I was laid in bed playing on my phone like I am now. I heard a growly voice in my right ear. Do you know what it said. My name is Tolga
I've seen one shadow woman on top of the roof of house behind mine, I was scared to death as I watched her watching over me from above, I saw her, turned my head down, then again up and she was gone. I was chilled to the bone, she was an immensely black shadow, even darker than the black night skies.
@@outlooknow9383 The shadow figure I saw in my room just had a basic shape of a human. A little bit out of proportion as its head was very large and very round in comparison to its body. It was as tall as the door handle. It was so out of shape I thought I had a demon not a human spirit. As to its gender who knows
"Do you ever feel watched?"
Oh god I wish...I'm so lonely :'(
Lmfao
Ouch
F
Lmao yea I know right
I say goodnight to the void under my bed in hopes I get a response
I'm 35 years old now. I was about 5 at the time it happened to me and in the same house I am living in now. I vividly remember waking up in a large open room we have with only a single small light being on the far-left side of the room. I remember looking straight across the right side of the room and seeing black figure(s) walking in what appeared to be circles or maybe just back and forth pacing. It seemed like there was more than one. Their shape was tall, and to me looked like they were wearing a trench coat with the collars popped up and I remember there being a shape of a hat. Their head(s) were tilted down as if they were looking at the floor in front of them as they walked with a brisk pace. They just kept passing in that manner with a sort of march to their step. If they weren't pacing back and forth then, I don't think they were circling me, but maybe their own self-contained circle. I remember just staring at them and being terrified. I feel like I may have been quietly crying the whole time as well. They were vividly pitch black in their appearance. I could see lighter shades of everything around them from the small light source (candlelight intensity) on the far-left wall, but they were pitch black still which is what made them stick out so much. I don't believe I've ever seen them again.
*Edit:* Reading some of these comments, some are saying he visits when there's a death looming or there is trauma in the household. I wasn't aware of anyone dying in our extended family when he woke me, but I was young (and kept from meeting my relatives) so who knows. But I was beaten, locked in my closet overnight, thrown down stairs, and my older sister molested me when I was 5 to just name a few issues in the house. So, it's possible there's a link, I guess. It wasn't like he was there to soothe me though. Just kind of rubbed salt on the wounds I had by terrifying me further. I don't remember very much of my childhood as it's just a black emptiness in my memory except for a handful of times and those memories are of mostly abuse. And also, this memory of the Hat Man.
Maybe that is what he was doing? Maybe he was altering my ability to retain memories for a few years. My ability to remember pretty much anything was near nonexistent until my high school years. I even remember how suddenly one day I was able to remember things vastly better from one day to the next. It was really weird.
I've seen these entities. One was at an assisted living facility I was working at. All of the residents with dementia were reporting seeing a man in a trenchcoat wearing a top hat. One day I went to the storage building next door and when I opened the door to the pantry, I saw the same thing. Another day I was charting when I caught movement in my peripheral vision. I looked up to see a shadowy figure going into the kitchen. Thinking it was one of the residents who stole cookies, I went into the kitchen and there was no one there.
It's true that something opens the mind with dementia. I was very close to my Gram and took care of her til the end. We Talked daily. At night she said there was a man standing in the backyard. To play along I asked where and she distinctly pointed. I saw nothing. To calm her I installed near prison style lighting back there with motion sensors. For me I got a small dog, installed a color camera and an IR camera but never caught a clue during these episodes. She also was sure a little man by her description a little elf like being would sit at the foot of her bed and talk to her. I should have at least recorded the conversations. The part that gets me is we talked daily and these were common topics that were normal to her. When she died several ghostly things happened during the day and night but that's for another channel... one day the dog was just sitting staring at the wall.

Haha! Well played!
Thanks for keeping the intro...its so X-Files i love it.
IMO it reminded me of Unsolved Mysteries, another gem.
i had an experience with shadow people i will never forget.
i came home from a night out, heavily intoxicated and drunk. it would've been very early in the morning as i had to get the first train from the city back to my hometown. once i got into the house, my family were either asleep or at work. i realised how drunk i was and thought it best to sober myself up before i went to bed. i quickly washed myself at the sink, taking off all of my makeup and brushing my hair. before i passed out from exhaustion, i drank as much water as i could and left a glass at the bedside table. eventually, i went to bed.
i was more sober than before, but still considered drunk. i was tossing and turning and i dismissed it as just the alcohol fucking with my brain. that was until i lay on my back and stared at the ceiling.
there was a black hue coming from my bottom vision. i rubbed my eyes thinking it was a blindspot, but i kept seeing it. i looked down to get a closer look and there was,a black figure standing at the edge of my bed. not only that, but there was a second figure, standing by my bedroom door. i began panicking, not really knowing what the think of it. the shadow person at the end of my bed began pacing, walking along my bed and along the side. each time it paced it tried to get closer to me, as if trying to get a good look of me. at this point i hid under my duvet; i assumed it was because i was intoxicated, but it was way too vivid. once i looked to see if they were gone; the shadow person's outline of its head was so close to my face, all i could see was darkness.
at this point i was losing my mind. i began saying stuff along the lines of "please leave, you are scaring me." once i admitted my fear, the shadow people stood still. they stood side by side, almost as if converting, or staring at me, idk. but eventually, the two shadows went back to what they were doing. the one pacing my bed began doing so, but it kept its distance; i weirdly began to find it comforting. the other, standing by the door, continued to stand there and not move a muscle.
the one pacing my bed, i believe to be some sort of guardian. but the other, i am not so sure. one seemed to be the brains of the duo and the other the strength. who knows what they were, maybe my intoxicated mind made it all up. but it was waaaay too vivid; i'll remember it for the rest of my life.
My parents have a very close friend that is a psychic. Some months ago she was explaining to me how to do astral projection and lucid dreams, which is basically where you while dreaming, can "project" your soul out of your body and travel the world, visit other places, and even interact with other astral projectors.
The whole concept was really interesting, so much so that I told her I would like to experience it and asked her if I could do it alone on my own. She told me that yes, I could, but people doing astral projections for the first time should be accompanied by some "supervisor" because, and I quote, "when you do astral projections you're crossing into the realm of the shadow people, nameless entities that exist all around us, but we just can't see them". She warned me that, if I ever try to do astral projection, I shouldn't be surprised to see several of them staring back at me, at the foot of my bed. And that whatever I do, I shouldn't interact with them, because they're dangerous.
They are from the lower "layers" of the astral plane. They like to manifest themselves through the ouija board game and even pretend to be or "impersonate" extraterrestrial beings trying to contact humans.
it's true iv done it.
The actions of psychics and other practioners of dark arts can allow demon activity to occur. Stay away from these practices and reject the devil.
I went to Veracruz, Mexico on a spiritual journey. I wanted to know if life is just money and superficial. Sparing all the small details... I laid on a bed and the Spiritual Doctor put crystals on me. It felt like I was awake as I could hear cars going by, etc. I followed her instructions to breath, blank mind, very yoga theme. After some time I felt like I was standing/ floating in a dark place. The atmosphere was like comfortable dark waves. As if swimming under water in a churning ocean on a moonless night. I saw two beings in color and I got physically very cold. One was me coming up behind me. I thought this is BS as I'm just dreaming about myself but I couldn't make out the third guy also approaching from my left. I was expecting to trip out and fly or something. I made myself take deeeep breaths and opened my eyes. 2.5 hours passed that seemed like 20 minutes. Her prime warning is it's easy to get lost and beings will try to hold you there. My wife tried it and didn't believe either. She opened her eyes, looked back and she as a spirit was floating above her own body about 4-5 feet. We didn't drink or consume anything beforehand to remain objective. There is some other place there but it's not paradise.
I recently stumbled upon this "Bedtime Stories" series looking for something "scary" to watch.... when I saw this episode I couldn't freaking believe it. I'm 48 years old now and still remember what happened to me yeeears ago when I was probably around 12 or 13 years old.....shit, the hairs on my arms are raising up just recalling it, something I never forgot.
I woke up in the middle of the night for whatever reason, I was in the living room which was my bedroom since it was a 1 bedroom apartment and that was my parents... anyway, I looked over to the entryway to the living room and saw a tall shadow figure... very tall, with a hat shape on it's (head?) glaring at me with yellow eyes. It looked like it had on a trenchcoat. I was so freaking scared and shut my eyes tight and waited a few before daring to look again and it was gone. I never saw that exact figure again, but a couple days later I was in school and I remember telling my friends and laughing about it and joking saying that if I ever saw it again that I would do this and that, pretending to be brave. Well, that same freaking night my nephew was sleeping over and he was in bed with me, in the middle of the night I woke up and I swear, I still can't believe it...but right over his sleeping head was just a round shadow face with pointy owl like ears, slanted yellow eyes staring at me.... I threw the covers over my head and shook my poor little nephew awake and by the time he woke up and I looked again, it was gone. And I never in the rest of my life saw anything like that again, but I never forgot it.
On a side note, years later in the same apartment I experienced this phenomenon where I woke up from my sleep and I heard my father in the kitchen washing dishes.... but I couldn't move at all.... nothing....my eyes were open and I could barely look around and hear my dad, but it was like something was pressing down on my chest and I couldn't move.... I tried calling out to my dad for help, and after what felt like forever I was able to first barely whisper for help and then finally as if bursting up from under water I was able to take a deep breath and yell at the top of my lungs for help..... sounds all crazy I know. And ignorant people can leave whatever stupid comments they like, but this shit happened to me for real.
That's why I'm interested in stories like this. I don't believe everything I read of course, but I do believe there's unexplainable stuff out there....we don't know everything.
That is all
Sounds like sleep paralysis
The last one sounds like sleep paralysis.
Ive seen them too. I believe you
I used to see them alot up until about a few years ago. I. Learned to block them from my peripheral vision and mind. And it stopped. But when I would be afraid to sleep at night it would be there all night just in the shadows watching me. And I always felt so sick to my stomach when it was there. Ill never forget it. Being native american I feel more sensitive to these things or spirits call it what you will. Ive seen and heard many unexplained events and voices.
@@theace228 Was about to say that
11:00 My mother who's still alive today in Texas, told me one of these things tried to choke her when we were little. When i was about 7. I too saw one just standing there by my bed and on a seperate night one actually touched my splenic Chakra. I tried to scream but it's as if my spirit was awake but my body frozen and no one could hear me. They must be lower dimentional beings that come here to feed off fear as they like tormenting people all over the world. We must also remember there's dimensions above us and others below us. We are not alone.
I see the comments have a lot of fun joking comments but this one hits home with me!
I suffer from sleep paralysis, have done for years and I always see a shadow person when it happens, although the one I see doesn’t wear a hat, but all I know is that when the sleep paralysis happens, it’s a horrendous, terrifying experience that makes me not want to try and go back to sleep after it happens, I have always dreaded it happening as Every time I see the shadow person, I always have an overwhelming feeling of fear, dread, doom and whatever it is in the room with me causing these feelings I also feel that it’s EVIL! No good feelings ever come during the experience only the worst feelings you can imagine !
Even now, watching this video and commenting on it fills me with fear especially when the video shows exactly what I see! All I know is that I have seen them, whether it’s the shadow person causing the feelings and paralysis or the sleep paralysis causing the feelings and me seeing the shadows I don’t know 🤷♀️ but hopefully the time comes that I no longer see/experience them!
Anyway sorry for rambling and I hope whoever reads this doesn’t go through this and sleeps well 🖤☮️💟🏴

@@PAULY-P
Different.
Can you tell me more plaese.
Watching this video has really explained a lot. The second year I loved in my house I was playing with my daughter (just under 2 at the time) and I snapped a picture of her. I don’t have many overhead lights in this old house built in the 60’s. I immediately opened the picture to share it with her grandmother and it wasn’t her I noticed in the picture first. A child (like I mentioned I only have one and she wasn’t yet two) was sitting Indian style under my table peaking out from around the chair/table leg. This terrified me so much that I deleted the photo and stared at the table. Tears rolling down my face in terror. Six years later and the child that’s here has never done anything more that mess with the television while I’m trying to watch it and knocks over my daughters block towers. I was drinking water in the kitchen one night after I put my daughter to bed and the child went running past the kitchen door. There’s also a shadow I’ve seen pacing the hall. When I wash my face in the hall bathroom sink all the hairs on my body stand up and I immediately feel like there’s someone standing beside me watching me. My dogs take off randomly down the hall barking. Even watching this video the shadow is going crazy outside my bedroom door. I’ve never felt threatened by these two. When they become overactive I politely ask them to stop and the activity stops immediately. We just coexist here. Sometimes I think the shadow is the previous owner pacing back and forth making sure we’re safe. Here was one night that I feel I was pulled into a sitting position and woken up from a horrible night terror. Well this is my experience with my shadow “companion”?
You loved in your house??? Don't we all??
Fantastic highly underrated channel, one thee best
Why do I torture myself by watching these in bed at night right before going to sleep?
Curiosity

I'm absolutely stunned by the quality of your videos.They are brilliantly produced; each one is like a little piece of art and they always contain a few new words that I can absorb into my treasury of words to further improve my English.

GREETINGS FROM US, I AGREE LOVE THE STORIES AND NARRATION'S FROM THIS CHANNEL. AND LET'S READ IS GOOD SPOOKY STORIES ALSO.
He reads stories from the internet.
Had some rough times when I was younger. Hearing one of the types being called peepers sent chills through my whole body. Driving home late at night was when it would happen the most and how it started. Bushes, trees, houses I’d catch glimpses. The type where you double take and it’s gone visually but the physical feeling is pressuring you uncomfortably. Then came the closer encounters. Walking up the stairs at night. Blending into the slightly cracked open closet. Even writing this now 10ish years later the sense of dread it brings me is immense. I cleaned up my act and as others have said I agree it’s correlated to energy levels and auras. My wife is a beautifully awesome person and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen them. I hope I’m done with it. Don’t wanna go through that ever again.
The imagery in this particular video is unsettling to the point where I just scrolled down to the comments and listened for most of it.
"Do you ever feel like you are being watched." I do... every time I watch this channel.
Realllly shouldn't have watched this before bed.
Yeah...
Same
😂I so concur....
Ha! I go to bed in the morning
They could be alien abduction screen memories or real shadow people I've definitely had these nightmares there horrible they feel real.
I used to work at a place called historic Jordan springs. Over the past 400-500 years it has been a multitude of things. From an insane asylum, to a civil war hospital. To currently being a oversized event center where weddings and other things take place.
I was working a wedding. Everything was relatively normal except a few odd events of a door opening by itself. At the end of the night, a co worker and myself were walking down the long main path towards the road to get picked up. It was autumn and very dark with no ambient illumination. The moon wasn't visible either. As the other dude and I were chatting as we walked I stopped and asked him if he just saw something.
What I saw was a big black mass in front of us. It was very dark outside, but this mass was so black that it was visually distinct against the backdrop. After staring at it for a second or two, it darted off and disappeared. My co worker said he saw it too. But didn't stop or say anything because he didn't wanna seem scared. I told him screw that, that was to weird for me. We got picked up fine and dandy after that.
I've had a crazy experience like this, it taught me a lot.
The nature of a experience, despite taking place before your very eyes, can be so strange you're unable to accept it.
Consequently, this is when I understood something else: our beliefs, the ones which reside in shades of gray, and yet somehow also DEFINE US, aren't always selected by logic. Rather, it's about what you're willing to accept.
How far are you willing to go? Once you accept A SINGLE THING outside the material world or five senses, the door comes off the hinges.
True.
How far off the hinges is your door?
@@modestgrower2017 Lol, hard to say, my friend.
My childhood friend always talked about a 'person' that would appear in his room at night. He said it was completely black; an adult sized silhouette of a person that would either be crouched on the end of his bed or laying on his ceiling or wall. That's right, laying. We were 14 years old when he first worked up the courage to tell us about it, so this was in 1994 and it visited him up to when we started college. In 1997 a group of us, 6 in total, went to spend the weekend at his family's cabin in Star Valley Wyoming which is just over the mountains from our home town in Idaho. That night we all would be witness to this thing, this silhouette 'person'. It was a traumatic night for all of us who were there. After all these years I can still hear my buddies frantic, horrified screams when it appeared that night at the cabin. And the fear and the awe that ran thru me when I finally knew he wasn't making it up... They are real.
Damn
If what your saying is true, then you have to ask that friend if you still have any constant with him if his father and or grandfather have had the same experiences. These things tend to be multi-generational, they latch on to families. If they are not exorcized by the fourth generation it becomes permanent and they can freely possess members of the said family.
I seen one sitting in my wide open window a male form he just sat there. I wasn't scared I went back to sleep

I had a shadow person for years from 1995-2014 sit at the end of my bed at night
The last visit happened in 2014 and it was standing this time near my wardrobe on the left of me..
Scared the shit out of me EVERY TIME to the point I felt my heart almost beat out of my chest . Most terrifying thing to ever happen to me for years.

I have a personal story regarding this phenomenon, which I will share since it might be interesting for you:
I was around 5-6 when I was playing in the Playground which is literally next to our house. I always stayed out as long as I could, since I enjoyed the opportunity to be outside. I wasn't playing that much with the other kids, because I was always a bit of a loner when I was a kid. However at one time I was out just before sunset, but when it was already getting darker. I remember a group of kids invited me to play. It was weird but I wanted to play, there was at least 5-6 of them.
(A detail which I only started to remember years later was that they were all pitch black)
We grabbed each other's hand and started to spin around a circle. We where going fast, when I was suddenly stopped. My mom was standing in the end of the Playground yelling for me to stop playing alone and come home. I was about to tell her, that I'm not alone, but when I looked back the kids where gone.
Never since had anything like that happened to me, but I remember to this event as a curiosity of my childhood.
I woke up one night to the sound of blood curdling screams coming from my ex girlfriend, She was screaming "They are wearing blind folds and they're trying to KILL ME!!" I jumped up and saw shadowy hands morphing into the wall. Scarred me for life. I questioned her the next day extensively and she says she has no memory of it. I swear she could not have slept through that.....Still spooks me. I moved out of that place because it was so haunted, I am into Spooky stuff have been all my life but that was a bit too real. Be careful what you play with folks.
Oh man that was a intense story
Ya I've had a few dragging claws across the wall in my room. From the opposite side where my living room is on the other side of the wall. Had to pray alot and found some items that were given to us by a bruja. I believe she was trying to cause problems in my house hold. Got rid of them and blessed the house and sealed it up.
Steel spooks me too.
Sounds like she was on drugs.
@@Shashwatt Finally changed your Catfish profile pic Star Gazer? :D
I always believed they (at least the ones I've seen) somehow "merged" into our dimension or vice versa, as they disappeared as quickly as I did, leaving me to believe we startled each other. It wouldn't surprise me if in an alternative reality there's a UA-cam channel called Waking Stories discussing the strange phenomenon of "light people".
Or maybe on their side we are the shadow people.
@@hotzombiechick I've considered that too. Maybe light can't travel between dimensions, so maybe we're scaring our alternative reality selves.

@@Poio_Freido I never started. 😛 Maybe I should? 🤔
@Centralist Australia I need to fill mine, not vice versa.
I had an experience with this when I was in kindergarten. Me and my dad were sleeping on the couch in the mid 90s in Barberton Ohio. No lights or tv on. I woke up to a dark room and looked over to the big archway that led into the dining room maybe 12 feet away. There are bird cages hung on the right side of it. I saw a cloaked figure that I thought looked liked the grim reaper right where the cages were. Just a silhouette with no other detail. I was frozen in fear, but eventually went back to sleep after probably rationalizing away that it was just a shadow. Turns out my friend who lived on the same block as me died in an arson that night.
Oh, weird... OK... So a few years ago, before I'd ever heard of anything like this, while I was taking care of my mom as she was dying of brain cancer, I had an episode of sleep paralysis(...?) where I encountered something exactly like this standing at the side of my bed and leaning over me as I'd been asleep. Of course my stomach did a flip and I was put on guard, and began gathering my strength to try to break out of the paralysis, but my main thought was actually a kind of excitement and wonder at encountering an unknown being-I thought to myself that I don't know anything at all about this entity and it wouldn't be right to automatically assume it was malevolent just because it happened to resemble evil creatures from parochially human popular media. The very mother I was taking care of always taught me about the importance of courage and to never be afraid in the face of the Unknown, and it would've been doing her a dishonor to squander a potentially once in a lifetime encounter by acting out of fear and ignorance.
So as it leaned over me, I looked up at it and said "Oh, hello. Who might you be?"
Well, I tried to-In my paralyzed state it came out as just kind of a weak, slow whisper.
That seemed to be enough, however, and it explained "telepathically" that it was a curious extradimensional visitor who wanted to learn about our world and the beings in it.
Relieved and intrigued, I welcomed it to our dimension but said it should be aware that its appearance was very frightening to humans.
It seemed chagrined at this, and said that it could only reach human perceptions and communicate with us when we were in this specific kind of hypnogogic state between sleeping and waking that I was in at that moment of paralysis, and unfortunately that's just kind of how it looks to us here in our world. It said it was happy someone tried to communicate back, and I saw a flash of its home dimension and it was very brightly colored, but I couldn't make any sense of what I was looking at besides blurry abstract 3D zones of vibrant red, yellow, and blue-green, full of fluttering shapes I couldn't quite discern.
I asked how it was enjoying our world so far but couldn't really understand its answer. It seemed to be generally positive, however, at least in the sense that it was satisfying its curiosity.
I don't remember the rest of the short conversation but we soon said goodbye and I went back to sleep satisfied and relaxed.
I'm still confident that it was regular sleep paralysis brought on by the stress of taking care of a dying loved one (though it did occur to me that any real entity might have been attracted to the situation out of curiosity about human bonds), and the thing about it only being able to reach us during a sleep paralysis state of consciousness was just a "plot contrivance," but this theory about them being extradimensional visitors gave me pause and prompted me to make this comment.
It stuck with me partly because it was the first instance of sleep paralysis I'd ever had where the "presence" was an actual "monster" and not simply an IRL friend who'd swung by while I tried to break out of the paralysis and not be the asshole just lying in bed when someone had gone to the trouble of coming to see me (even though they're always like "lol don't worry about it, just sit tight and get some rest.") but I wasn't going to assume something was really an evil monster just because of how it looked when I didn't actually know anything about it.
99.999...% chance it was all in my head (though if what it said was true this might be a distinction without a difference), but this tale pinged something in me that made me want to share this experience. Make of it what you will.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing. It's important to get alternative viewpoints no matter how insignificant we might consider them as the nature and byproduct of interactions with them might wedge us into the malevolent viewpoint w/o any hard data or earnest investigation that idn't filtered through religious or spiritual underpinnings.
It happened to me when I was little, I'll never forget it... I was playing hide and seek with with my brother and nany. I supposed to look for them so I went up to the attic (which was used as a tv room and other stuff, very big), there was a wood division in the room with approximately 50 cm, to separate the tv room space from the studio part. I swear I saw a shadow standing behind it, that bent down to hide from me. I was sure it was my nany, I said "I saw you! You lose!" but no one anwser, I approached more to catch her, I was so sure...but when I got there, there was nobody, I was completely shocked, I felt very alarmed and scared and runned away from there.
I believe you. We live in a mysterious world.
My junior brother also experienced this when he was still a child...This world is deep
This story gave me goosebumps. My mom always used to tell me and my sister she saw a man in a hat at the end of her bed at night. My sister and I attributed it to the Ambien. Never thought much more about it until this video. My mom passed away in 2012 at the age of 50. In our house.
So has my lil brother said something similar of the hat man
I saw one of these while I was watching a movie with my mom about a decade ago. It looked like the silhouette of a child and it ran quickly into the bathroom. I thought I was going crazy, but then I asked my mom if she saw it too and she did.
I have épisode of sleep paralysis since I'm a teenager and I've seen and felt like someone was sitting on my chest and was strangling me. It ressemble what they described being shadow people. Sometimes, I see someone with long hair, sometimes it has a hat, sometimes not. I'm however unable to recognise or to make out his face, or any detail, it's just black. It took me some time to get used, and even then, it's sometimes frightening despite I know exactly what it is.
The first time I saw a shadow person was years ago when I was a kid at a Super Bowl party. Out in the back-back yard behind the fence near a forest. My freinds saw some too, and even if they where lying I still saw him, but when I walked near him he disappeared. It was just months ago when I saw him again standing behind my bedroom door, while I was on the couch parallel to it for a second I went upstairs and grabbed a knife, and then saw him again in the laundry room. He was gone. I went to my bedroom shaking and holding the knife up but as I expected he was gone. Still sometimes I feel watched. I hope I don’t see them again. I have never seen the hat man but next time I am ready to try to get rid of them.
Wow, I had no idea the Hat Man was a thing. Earlier this year, my two former housemates and I were confused by the appearance of a a broad brimmed, Akubra style hat on the hat rack in our bathroom.
We all swore we didn't leave it there or own such a hat. We joked around that it must have been left by a ghost/spirit of some sort and dubbed this spirit "The Hat Man".
Maybe there was something to that lol
Thanks for all the uploads these past few days! We appreciate the hardwork!
I saw one of these when I was about 10 or so. I remember it being a bad night of sleep with nightmares as I often had but I had been awake for some time, just being scared and lying on my side looking off the side of the bed. Out of nowhere a pitch black silhouette quickly raised up right in front of my field of vision, like it had been lying or kneeling down just below the edge of the bed. I saw its head and shoulders, like it was kneeling in front of me and at that moment I thought it was a slim built man in a ski mask or maybe bald or with a shaved head. It had a bad vibe that felt threatening. It stayed there still for a couple of seconds and then it lunged at me in an aggressive way. I thought it was going to attack me and I seized up, my whole body was tingling but then it froze solid, like "pause" had been hit in a movie. Then the black matter it was made of started to pixellate, almost like black television static, and it gradually dissipated into the air in many little pieces that looked like tiny birds or bats. I didn't see anything like it again after that night.
Fast forward 30 years, my son was 5 at the time. His room is down in the basement - don't worry, finished basement, actually nicer and newer than the levels above. Nonetheless he is down there on his own. Unlike me, he is a very solid sleeper and he has never had problems but one night we woke up to the sound of him absolutely freaking out screaming, just the most god-awful racket I've ever heard out of him. The adrenaline that kicked in was intense and my wife and I almost flew down to his room. When we got there he was pointing up at the ceiling, shaking like a leaf, not saying anything coherent. It took a while to calm him down and we brought him up to bed with us for the night. The next day we got it out of him what had happened. He said he woke up because he was hearing "a buzzing noise". He was looking around his room, at first not seeing anything, but then he started focusing on an area in the corner of his room by his door. He said then that "a black man" rushed FAST out of the corner at first straight toward him, but then it veered off and jumped up on his dresser. He said it kind of sat or kneeled there for a moment, and then jumped up over him and onto the ceiling right over his bed, where it sort of shrank or disappeared up into the ceiling. He said at first he thought it was me at first because it looked like me - a slim, bald man. Man did I get chills when he said that. I haven't told him about my experience because I don't want to scare him worse than he was, maybe when he is older. Glad to say he hasn't seen anything like it since then but Jesus did he scare everyone that night.
God damn dude your kid is a racist it's 2019 teach him some manners
@@kingbeez4943 to be fair, I'd probably become racist too if someone tried to piledrive me in my own damn bedroom
"So son, remember that black person that woke you up when you were 5? Yeah, I'd seen it too."
Son - "YOU ASSHOLE! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO I WOULD'VE FELT SO MUCH BETTER KNOWING I WASN'T CRAZY!"
Atleast that's how I'd like to imagine his response lol
Sounds a lot like sleep paralysis to me, I can sometimes hear buzzing sound when I fall back to sleep from a SP, and you can also see stuff too but I wouldn't know because I never look
@@4nd3rzzon yea I hear the buzzing with SP. Thought I was going crazy
The third story reminds me of a very similar story from me. It only happened for a brief stretch during September of 2020, but I kept seeing something peeking around a doorway to the side as I was gaming or watching some shows. Most of the time, when I caught sight of the head-shaped grey-white smudge, I'd turn my head and it'd be gone. Well, after a few days I finally managed to look at it in just the right way so as not to turn my head. It was this pale, very short humanoid with big eyes, very long clawed fingers. Didn't freak me out, oddly, but I did get up and tried to walk over. Since I kinda got a head start, I finally got to watch it scramble away into the kitchen. It ran behind the table and just disappeared as if there was a hole somewhere it could hop into. This happened a few more times before never showing up again. Weirdest eight-day stretch in recent memory. Not "shadow people" but the last story seemed remarkably familiar, right down to how it didn't really bother me or feel scary in any way.
Did anything change in these days which might explain the sudden stop?
@@jalifritz8033 Not that I know. I just treat it as a very vivid hallucination.
I remember seeing something when I was about 11 when we moved into a new apartment. I was putting stuff in my bedroom and I had briefly looked into the closet and went to look away but something on the one shelf up high caught my attention. There was some dark shadowy person, like a small gremlin with very boxy outline, crouching in a very animalistic way staring down at me. I whipped my head back and locked my gaze on it and I swear I saw it smile then fast as hell it turned around and darted through the wall. I had a few smaller sightings of it but for the most part nothing else happened. I just couldn't sleep with the closest open and in general I felt much more comfortable sleeping in the living room. Otherwise I'd wake up with cold sweats or just stay up playing games
I know people will call "bull" on belief in these and my personal story, I can't really argue the point on ephemeral/spirit beings being "real" or not, I can only account for my own personal experiences.
I'm sorry but this will be quite long, it has to be to put forward all the information involved.
When I was really young I'd see an awful lot of strange things, shadow people among them. I'd be told it's just my imagination or a nightmare and go about my life as usual. After a while one particular "being” started to appear quite regularly.
A shadow being that from his silhouette seemed to be wearing a long coat and wide brimmed hat. Sometimes he looked a little different, the hat may have been taller or differently shaped. Sometimes he seemed to be wearing a hooded robe, or I could see long wispy hair blowing. Sometimes his eyes glowed, sometimes they didn't, but it always "felt" like the same being, I just “knew” it was him. Sometimes he'd have a couple of other shadow people with him, but they tended to stand back silently and watch.
Now let me just skip forward a little to adulthood. A few years back I was reminiscing with friends about him, because he was a firm fixture in my life and I did a little research. I found the only similar shadow being stories were about The Hat Man or Shadow Hat Man. And they were all stories of fear, terror and tragedy. Now this really weirded me out and my lifelong friends, because it really wasn't like my experience at all and the stories I'd related to them. In fact in all my research I only found maybe one other persons story that was anything like my own. Now let's return back to childhood...
The first time I saw him I was terrified, who wouldn't be? But the figure held up a hand in a placating manner and put me at ease and we proceeded to talk. This is how it always went with these visitations. I'd get a feeling of unease like being watched, a tinge of fear, then I'd see him and relax and we would converse. I never remembered the content of these conversations. I just knew that we had them. And a feeling of some comfort and knowledge imparting. I remember he felt stern, but amiable. He was actually a source of comfort. I started to tell friends, family and teachers about him, I called him Mr Shade. When asked why I called him that, I just responded, “Because that's his name”.
He would appear and converse with me. Sometimes stood in the corner, or stood beside me. Sometimes sat on the bed or stranger, standing/sitting on the walls/ceiling of my room. I remember being uneasy when he tried to float over me and chat, I'm a little claustrophobic. But any time I felt a little uneasy, he'd back off, if anything he was nothing but respectful.
There were even a few times where something other, would visit, something unfriendly, I'd begin to get really upset and out of the shadowy corner he'd appear, glare at whatever was intruding and drive it away. Then sit and chat again. Or waking from a particularly bad nightmare and he'd appear and sooth me. He gave me a sense of comfort and protection.
It wasn't just night visitations either. There were a few occasions during daytime hours when I'd notice him out of the corner of my eye watching me. Sometimes a couple of shadow buddies in tow. Sometimes just a some shadow people observing, I never really felt nervous about them.
I remember once at Primary (first) School I had to get up in front of the class and give a presentation, I believe it was about steam engines or something, think we were studying the industrial revolution maybe. I was absolutely mortified and nervous, I didn't want to do it and was almost on the verge of tears. Then out of the window I spotted him, across the school playing field by the bushes around the school-ground. He gave a tip of his hat and a reassuring nod, and I was okay, my nerves settled and I gave my presentation.
He came up in conversation enough that he was assumed to be my imaginary friend by many, especially the adults. And many of my friends still remember him, or at least me talking about him. He had such an impact on my life that that is where the second half of my username originates from. I still have pictures I drew of him from when I was a child.
So that's what I find so mystifying about it all now. Because I'm so invested in Mr Shade and in relation Shadow People. I researched Shadow People and Hat Man and ended up reading and hearing all these terrible stories and they're just nothing like my own experience.
He was just kind of a fixture in my life until I hit double-digits, then around early to mid teens. He just stopped appearing. That was it. I know many people can't bear the idea of him appearing to them, but I'd honestly have to say I miss him.
But believe what you want, or have your own opinion on my story. I can only relate what I remember about my experience.
I've had something similar as well. The first time I saw a shadow person I guess we scared eachother and it disappeared.
The second time it was a different one. It also had a hat.
I was in my bed
And my kitten had somehow got on the bed
(I was a child)
The kitten kept clawing at my foot and I'd try to move it else where because it hurt.
I was crying but no one was awake so yeah and I didnt want to hurt the kitty.
My blinds were slightly open so moonlight was in the room.
I remember a figure with a hat outline, about 5ft 7in tall. It looked masculine or male. Anyways it picked up my kitten and took it out of my room and closed the door.
It took me a bit to sleep after that because I was kinda shocked not really scared. It didnt really feel bad at all.
The next morning when I woke up. The door was still closed. I asked my family if any of them picked up sonic from my bed and closed the door. Which they were confused and shook their heads no. I had told my grandma what I saw and she thinks that a spirit was helping me. Or that it could have been one of my uncles that died before I was born.
That’s actually really cool. Maybe he came when you were young because it’s more acceptable for children to talk to imaginary friends, while adults would be labeled mentally unstable and cause more stress and confusion than anything else.
@@ocean6067 most likely. It would make sense. Seeing also how children might not have the tendency to feel threatened by something they don't understand.
Naturally I was just more curious than anything. Ever since then I've always looked into the paranormal or anything like that.
Also the history of abandoned buildings. Seeing how one day I just kinda wanna take the time to explore and figure out why it was abandoned. Hopefully I might come across one with some paranormal activity also! It would be great for research purposes and notes.
this sounds like a film script for Dreamworks Pictures
Thank you for sharing your stories guys
This brought back traumatic memories I'd rather have left forgotten... Thanks for that.
I'd like to hear the story, if it isn't too hard for you to tell.
Same i had a dream about them once like around 2012
From the title, just don’t watch it 💀
RampageBlizzard I can tell one that happened when I was younger 🤭
UwU you got ig?
When my uncle was near the end of his death from cancer he kept saying a black shadow is trying to take him.
My nan smelt smoke looked up and my grandad was standing and spoke then disappeared.
My sister woke up to find a old man rocking at the end of her bed it was the old guy who died in the house before we moved in.
Had at least one in the house I grew up in. Seen it in several spots along the house, would usually stand in a corner in my room, and remained in full view. I know an older lady died in the house shortly before we moved in, so it's possible there was a connection.
I saw one previously at another location (babysitter's house) with red eyes, and seemed to absorb any light around it when I was much younger. It came as a surprise to me when I told my dad about it, and he paled, then telling me about his encounter with a shadow being with red eyes who flipped the bed with him on it.
My father is hardened military vet, with many tours, and to see him afraid of something was quite alarming to my teenage mind.
Haven't seen any since I moved out of the house, and I hope the new tenants don't have any issues.
My nephew would see them at my childhood house. I was telling his mom one day about seeing them she said ohh Eli see them too he calls them shadow people. This the same house 🏠 old Victorian house
Me: *sees shadow person at the edge of my bed.*
Shadow Person: *Puts on fadora with menace intent.*
He wants to put it in
The smell of sulphur is one of them farting and not owning up
Who ever smelt it dealt it !
Underrated 😂
Ok, that’s it! Tonight I’m sleeping with blinds closed, lights on. 🤔
Shadow people will still be there
I was playing poker during the afternoon, with headphones on and listening to music loudly, completely in my own world. During the break I went to open my bedroom door to go take a piss, still thinking about poker, mind elsewhere. Upon opening the door there was a shadow person standing there, taller than me and I'm 6'2, humanoid figure but no facial features, just black everything and very thin. It shocked me and I jumped back, snapped out of my thoughts and then disappeared. I was not high, I was not drunk, I was not sleepy and it was not dark but most of all, it was not wearing a hat. Thank fuck.
Lucky, ‘Cept think abt that figure just tipping the hat at you
I remember a long time ago, when I lived in Germany (had to have been around pre-school age) I was lying in bed lying on my side when I saw a dark head-like shape rise up from the side, as if it were peaking up from the floor. I'd swing my teddy bear trying to hit it, and it'd immediately duck down, only to slowly rise back up. I remember doing this two or three times, though that's all I really remember. Don't remember if I called for mom or hid under my covers or any of that. Just swinging at the shadowy head with my teddy bear.
I'm not saying this is an example of shadow people or anything. I was very young, it happened a long time ago (I'm almost 22 now), it was dark, and really as much as I swear I was awake at the time, it could've been a dream that I'm mis-remembering. Maybe I really did see something in the form of a illusion or some kind of hallucination. I'm just bringing it up because this video reminded me of that.
Other than that, a good video as always. Very spoopy.
@L The Detective Maybe so.
Im literally in bed right now, holding a teddy bear. Its 3 am here.
Im ready to hit anything that pops up. Even if it's my sister.
I had a vivid dream like that just a month or two ago. I don't know if it was a dream or like me being half awake. I didn't have a teddy bear tho so I threw a punch and it vanished.
spoopy?
Seen these. Grew up in a haunted house. Most prolific sighting I had was coming out of my bedroom to see what I can only describe as being a three-dimensional shadow making it's way silently down our staircase. My dog saw it too. The thing was unbothered by me, it gloated down the stairs. I was in awe.
Interesting. How was it gloating? I’ve never heard of a ghost who could gloat before!
@@TomDavidMcCauley I think what was meant was "floating"
Its 1AM and i dunno why I'm watching this, good luck to me lol
they are watching you
It started when one of my closest friends died, I woke up one night and saw a shadow at the edge of my bed, I should have been scared, but it was somewhat soothing. It sat on my bedside and started to hum. The reason why I know I didn't dream it was my mother heard it, thought it was me and asked me to be quiet. After which the figure placed a hand on my head, one that gave a strange sensation of touch, like a faint warmth, and walked back in the hallwzy.
So no, I do not believe them to be evil, if it wasn't a hallucination of my overtaxed mind.
I think some are friendly. I had similar situation with multiple incounters at a apartment i was living in by myself. I was would see a black figure in the corner of my right eye at night and some time in the day while i was at my desk. I would see it peek it head from behide the wall that separated the living room from the rest of the apartment. At first when i first saw it i thought i was just tired and didn't think must of it until it kept happening month after month. The black figure would slowly show more of it's self over time the most i saw was head and to part the shoulder. Other times and i kind you not it would be at different height's,each time i looked over its head would be higher then lower like it was playing a game with me like where am i now!? Side note. I got scared of it like 3x nothing bad happen it was me getting used to it,it didn't have a bad energy to it,it felt idk different. Anyway the black figure kept showing it's self until i moved out.
I hope you make more of these shadow people videos. I believe these people are telling the truth, but I also think that it was their minds playing tricks on them. I've encountered "shadow people" 3 times in my life. The first time I was in my living room watching TV when I saw "the woman in black" down the hallway. I turned to look and she disappeared. Within the next few days electronics would turn off and on. Doors I thought were closed would just slam. Weird things, easily explainable, so I ignored it. It stopped after a few days.
The second happened a few years later. I woke up one night because I felt something was in my room. I immediately looked towards my window and saw a man climbing through. I let out a horrifying scream. I've never screamed like that in my life. Needless to say I was terrified. The "man" disappeared. My brother bursted into the door "what's going on? Are you alright?" Nothing was there. No sign of anyone breaking in, just nothing. Rolling back over in my bed I just said "It was just a bad dream or something, I don't know." I brushed it off and went back to sleep.
The third time happened a few days later. I woke up with the same feeling and this time I didn't see him climb in. He was already inside. This time I didn't scream at all. I saw him and without thinking, I stood up and took a swing. The hardest swing I ever took in my life. Nothing was there. I went back to sleep pissed off. I remember thinking " f**ker". Watching this video brought back those memories.
Looking back, my dog "Precious" died that week. She managed to find the rat poison. She was such a sweetheart. Weird.
Ive seen a dark figure bouncing toward me one night when i was laying down in bed. I woke up staring at the ceiling and looked at my feet and saw a shadowy figure creeping toward my face. It scared the hell out of me. I closed my eyes and threw the blanket over my face. It took almost an hour till i had enough courage to look over the covers. When i did nothing was there. I never saw this again. We moved out of our house shortly after and i was so relieved to get out that house.
John Barber why do they do that can you please explain
@John Barber no we didn't
@@mariop.m.563 Literally the same thing have happend to me. Dreaming about a gnome like black creature that I am chasing around outside, and then that small thing looked at me and start running towards me. I woke up, I was looking up, when I looked towards my chest, I saw the small creature on top of me, and it jumped towards my face, then I woke up again. Even though I can swear I was awake the first time around. It was a nightmare within a nightmare! I stayed 2 hours awake with lamp on that night until I fell asleep at some time.

Hippity Hoppity you're moving off my property
I had ongoing experiences from age 5-16 in the house I grew up in. I also had 2 sisters that shared a room. My oldest sister of the two, I’m the oldest of three. But my sister would also have such experiences in her room at night. And sometime our experiences would happen during the day time too. Our TVs and electronics would turn on and off by themselves, some corners of the house would just give off a bad feeling.
My oldest and youngest memory of mine is waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, I could see a tall dark silhouette figure standing over at the foot of my bed. I was so scared and felt like I couldn’t breath. I tried to scream and cry out for help, I tried and tried and could not push out enough air to scream. To compare by example it was like that Buffy episode of the Night Gentlemen, that’s how it felt to me. And this was years before the show or even that episode premiered. I don’t even try to remember the experience, by I still do. I haven’t been able to shake it off since.
In the morning I open up the factory I work in at around 5am. I have seen exactly what the woman described...... a black silhouette of a person but only the top half. The bottom half just faded to nothing... I waited outside until more people arrived, we searched but found nothing. It changed my whole outlook. In the past I've had sleep paralysis and this wasn't that.
Listening to this as i work late shift 9 pm at an empty school all alone..great...now i need to turn on all the lights lol
EricDutemple haha you crazy! Turn those lights on lol
It's weird actually relating to this sort of thing but I've actually seen the Hat Man, it's a bit of a long story.
I don't really remember how old I was exactly but probably around 8, so like 2010. I woke up on the couch in the middle of the night because I had fallen asleep right after supper. To make things worse, I was really scared of the dark as a kid. So I get up and walk to my hallway nervously when all of a sudden I see something at the end of the hallway. I take a split second to focus and realize it's a tall solid black silhouette wearing a fedora and trenchcoat, I freak out and run straight to my parents' bedroom on the other side of the house. They reassured me that I was just seeing things and was probably still waking up. And I believe that myself for a few years.
Later when I was 12, my older sister was talking about ghosts and I suddenly remembered the "shadow guy". I tell my sister about it, putting it off as a hallucination when all of a sudden she gives me a look of surprise. She explains to me that a few years back, during a night when her friend was sleeping over, her friend woke her up claiming to have seen a tall shadow in the doorway (this is at the end of the hall). After this, my sister goes on to talk about how he is called "the Hat Man" and how she's seen shadow figures before. I'm honestly skeptical about her seeing several to this day, but it still is chilling that I and another person saw the Hat Man in the same place in the same year.
Now, this quick story isn't from me but from my band teacher surprisingly, he talked about this time when he had parked his car and got out and noticed a really dark figure in his peripheral. When he turned to look, it looked like it ran around the corner of a building. He decided to investigate and when he went around the corner he came upon a fence and no one to be seen anywhere.
Thinking back on it, I can't remember anything bad happening after my sighting, unlike other people's stories. Because of my experience with Hat Man, I've become more open to peoples claims of witnessing the paranormal. One thing I find interesting about Hat Man, unlike the basic shadow figure, is that only children seem to see him, even if multiple times from the same person. Even self-proclaimed experts in the paranormal are confused by shadow figures but if I had to theorize on what Hat Man is, I'd say he's simply a watcher with no ill intent despite the fear he can strike in us. Maybe he is a guardian angel or a reaper passing by.
I'm watching this in my room, i go out to get food and when I'm in front of my big windows i feel like I'm being watched (i live in the woods) all my hair on my arms and legs stand on ends and i cant shake the feeling. Its 4:45 a.m. I'm used to being up this late and i never feel this way
It’s because you’re watching this ….
happened to me once in my early 20's. im in my 40's now. it was the most intense experience i've ever had. i've heard it referred to as sleep paralysis but i absolutely wasn't asleep. tossing and turning. i heard the door open and thought it was a guest who had been sleeping on a sofa in the next room. i dont know what it was but i couldnt move ...ugh it was absolutely terrifying real or imagined.

I can recall walking to my bedroom as a kid (maybe 7 or 8 years old) and seeing a shadow of a fully grown person sprinting out of my room and down the hall. It wasn't a 3D figure, rather a 2D figure that was seemingly printed onto the wall that bended and warped with features on the wall, like a real shadow would. I was scared, but I tried to take a more badass approach to it by grabbing a clearly fake revolver and putting on my dad's fedora and karate gear to hunt it down. Never found it or saw anything like it again, and I like to thing I scared it away with my threatening 2nd grader gettup. In fact, this video reminded me of an event I had completely forgotten about.
I had a nightmare when I was around 6 that my mom was sleeping on the couch that had shadows of people, like you said, were printed on the walls slowly looming over her covering her in darkness, then my vision went to black and I woke up.
Some theorize that facing the Shadow People strips them of their power. But, since we don't actually know anything about them, there's no telling why some people don't get a repeat visit.
That's the most badass thing I've ever heard. You get those bitchass shadow people kid from Oklahoma.
What good would that hat do?
So it taught you bravery perhaps?
Love Bedtime Stories videos, the artwork is great too. High quality stuff.
I experienced this twice in my old room, woke up in the night to a shadow of a person standing on the wall next to me bed and rubbed my eyes to get a better look and it was gone, the second time i woke up to the same figure and when i sat up the figure ran away almost as if it got scared that i saw it, oddly enough i felt no fear or malice from the shadow, now my brother sleeps in that room and said he’s seen the same exact thing
