A man recounts unsettling interactions with shadowy figures throughout his life, detailing a mix of fascination and fear. His revelations have sparked conversations among community members about similar encounters and fears related to the paranormal.
A Growing Interest in Shadow Entities
On March 21, 2023, Will reached out to a popular Instagram account expressing his interest in sharing his eerie experiences. Although requested to post on forums, anxiety and fear of backlash kept him silent for years. Now ready to share, Will reveals he first noticed shadow people in his uncle's house as a child, laughing at unseen figures in the corner. As he matured, the encounters intensified, with shadow figures increasingly invading his personal space.
Encounters in the Night
Many remember the unsettling feeling of being watched. Will described one unsettling experience when he was in his early teens. While playing video games at night in his mother's attic, he noticed a shadow darting away at the foot of the stairs. "I even ran down to check on my little sister, but found nothing," he said, reflecting on the fear that lingered.
In another encounter, he spotted a tall, dark figure under a street lamp, mist curling off it. Yet, rather than running in fear, he mentioned how comfortable he'd grown around these shadows.
"Knowing that I wasn't alone in the dark made me feel warm—until it didn’t."
His most chilling story occurred at 17 during Thanksgiving at his father's home. In the dark, he saw multiple arms reaching out from the shadows. Trembling, he buried his head under the covers, repeatedly telling himself it wasn't real until the figure vanished.
