Shadow Person Messing With My Wife

 

Laying awake this morning around 2 am my alarm clock straight out in front of me. I am laying on my left side, and the dog is laying at my butt and knee area. The wife is behind me and my back is to her I had already talked to the wife between 12. 30 and 2 am this morning. When I wake early, I will quietly say I LOVE YOU so if she is awake, she is not alone and this morning she is awake and having a hard time getting back to sleep. So, I drift off and kind of off in bun bun land now when I hear my wife is making an odd noise while breathing in. She seems to be only getting half a breath and making odd noises in the middle of her breath.

Our bedroom is lit up somewhat and my clock says 2.53 am and as I listen to her breathing for maybe 20 seconds, I quickly snap my head her way to wake her only to see a shadow person quickly float down the side of her bed and disappear maybe out the window 3 ft from the end of the bed. I lay there wondering did I really just see that and I wait a few seconds, her breathing is now finally getting back to normal.

I now wake her and tell her how she was breathing, and she told me she was awake earlier after waking to a slight panic attack. Well, I told her when I went to wake her a shadow person floated away very quickly. This shadow was less than 6 ft tall and very dark and skinny.

One thing my wife told me within the last 3 weeks she said one morning, it feels like something has squeezed my heart it hurts like that. That statement is a little worrisome now. My wife wakes sometimes already having a panic attack and I had a well-known medium tell us there are no bad spirits here but that was over a couple year ago. I will be looking at our security camera when the wife gets up. It is infra-red so if it went out the window, maybe we might see it and I will let you know.

Of all the paranormal encounters we have had I don't like the thought of a shadow person around doing whatever they want to us. We thought we had seen some around our front door for a while there and I thought one was doing jumping jacks a few times trying to piss me off out of the corner of my eye, but it stopped.

Any ideas on how to get rid of it or them? Thanks for reading.

Hi Twilight1011 it is 2.50 am and I usually have woken at this time most of my adult life. Well I lost some sleep the first few nights waking and watching and our bedroom is lit enough to almost see my flesh arm color as we have an elementary school out our bedroom windows and their lights are always on and help light our bedroom a little and that is ok with me. There is no way possible to throw a shadow where I witnessed my intruder. Have not seen him or it since. Yes, I have had someone sigh in my ear while I was sitting up in bed in the last years and something finger flicked my wife's toe while it was barely hanging off the bed, and we were buck naked.
I also have had 3 experiences of a broiling black cloud at the same wall in a different home within 1 year all in daylight hours but mine was a moving broiling black mass, 2 of the sightings it was at the end of my hallway broiling in place as open bathroom door on the left side of hall and master bedroom door on the right side. The first encounter it was about 3 ft tall broiling moving in place and in both doorways and I did not go down there. 2nd one in middle of hallway 4 to 5 ft tall broiling in place The third sighting I was sitting on the toilet doing my business reading a mail flier and looked to see a broiling cloud is between me and sink counter toilet paper roll but here it comes broiling at my shoulder 8 inches away from my face broiling slowly moving forward and upward then it turned away and downward circling along the floor strait across the hall into our bedroom back to the mirrored hallway, god what a sight. I feel it was Native American because I lived next to saltwater. I had no spirit activity at all until I installed the closet mirrors.
One thing I noticed that I did not mention in this particular cloud story that if you just peeled off our skin it seemed to be showing the muscle strands in one square just off my knee it seemed the broiling mass had squares like a plaid shirt moving in all different directions full on total moving kaos. I had mistakenly installed 2 mirrored closet doors across from each other in our master bath hallway and already had full mirror on the outside of bathroom door, so 14 ft of mirrors made a portal, and I started seeing crazy shiet from then on. I moved to Hawaii and at my first job I encountered a walking dark spirit and then he stopped in front of me, and I was looking down on his dark head. The company's friendly ghost. A medium told us we are both empaths and sensitives, but I don't really ever feel anything before a visitation it just happens. I have many stories under my old name cantunseeit. Without the 74. Thanks for your reply

I had somewhat of a similar experience a few years ago, and submitted it on here, called the black mass. For my experience though, it was more of a black mass, verses in the shape of a figure. We have seen black shadow people around our home aswell. I've had my kid's tell me how they keep seeing them around our living room area, and going down the hallway, more than anywhere else. For the most part, the shadow figures seem to only be watching at a distance though. I don't think they've caused much problems that I'm aware of. Now the black mass I was talking about seeing, I had saw before going to sleep, the night of the incident, at the foot of my bed area, where my door was. It was dark in my room, but the light shining through the crack of my door, gave enough light for me to notice it there. I just tried to ignore it, and not believe I just saw it, as I laid down next to my husband, and fell asleep. I started to have a really bad dream, that felt so real, to where my husband told me afterwards, that I was making noises in my sleep, waking him up. He said as he went to wake me, he saw what he believed was a black mass, hovering over me, and then it quickly flew across the room (on the ceiling). I can't remember now if he said it disappeared after that, or if he just didn't notice it, but after waking me up, I was too paranoid to go back to sleep, in fear of having that dream again, so I sat up in bed, and was dosing in and out of sleep, when my husband told me later, he saw the black mass across the room, start to come back towards me, but then would back up again (at the time of me dosing in and out of sleep, my husband wasn't aware of me doing that, so he didn't know that's why it was coming close and then backing away). After awhile of trying to fight sleep, my husband and I started to talk about what we both just experienced, realizing we had to of seen the same thing, as we both described it as a black mass, verses any other description. I told him how I believed that's what I saw before going to sleep, and after hearing him tell me he saw it above me, while I was having a bad dream, and then it trying to come back to me, when I was dosing in and out, I swore it had to be what was causing my bad dream that night. Since this incident, I haven't experienced it again, but it does makes me wonder if it is still around, if it's still causing anymore bad dreams etc? Just because I haven't seen it again, doesn't mean it's not around. I do feel as though there's a negative energy, in our room especially, that affects our moods. I've been more prone to having my depression periods (I for the longest time, had a better control over, and was able to not fall into my really bad episodes), that I swear is brought on by something around me. I know that sounds crazy, but I'm an empath, and can feel energy around me, to where I know when spirits are near, and if they're messing with me etc. Anyways, I didn't mean to go that far into all that, I was just wanting to share my similar experience. I'm not sure if shadow figures come in different forms, to where they can be a blobby, mass, looking thing lol, or if those are two different thing's 🤔 but both didn't seem to be very good ones, that didn't mean to cause any harm. I hope y'all don't continue to have anymore problems, with that shadow figure. I agree, burning sage, and cleansing your home, should hopefully help rid any negative energy y'all may have around your home. Best of luck, and thank you for sharing your experience with us 😊

Lol as I write this comment, I'm in the very same (alone) house I used to experience shadow people during my teenage years, my late uncles house, the rest of the family are out so I'm waiting for them (Easter shopping)

This is the place I experienced most of my paranormal, supernatural activity 🤦hopefully nothing happens now.

We used to place coarse salt in each room especially by the bedside, it used to help us, if you want, you can also try it as well.

Thanks for the reply, If your wife is a quiet sleeper it's probably not a problem. Such a test would probably involve a sleep study. I has chest pain from not breathing, thus my concern. Anyhow, I'm not a DR so I'm only speaking from my experience. If it is indeed paranormal It bears looking in to as well.
Again, thanks for your reply.
Best,
Rob

I watched it leave the side of her bed 4 ft away. At the same time 2 small orbs came out of wall under window at the same time on our security system mounted in the eve with straight ahead shot of side wall and a perfect angle and we both rewound it and watched it 3 times and do not want to acknowledge it really. She is a very quiet sleeper and most of the time I can barely hear her breathing. She says I am a noisy sleeper, but she can't move without waking me and we have separate adjustable twins next to each other. Can you be a quiet sleeper and have sleep apnea? We have had a lot of paranormal movements over the last 14 years in our last 6 dwellings. And debunking is first, and I have seen full apparitions and more and this was close up.

Good Day,
This might not be paranormal, I have a form of "Sleep Apnea, which, left untreated, affects the amount of oxygen my heart gets. I had the same symptoms as your wife. I would advise getting her tested to rule out any sleep problem, it could be dangerous. HTH
Best,
Rob

Hi Can't,
I'm told that burning juniper incense helps with ridding shadow people. Use the smoke from the juniper incense to clear the energy of the space around you. Make sure the smoke permeates every corner of your room, house or office or wherever you have experienced the Shadow People.
If you can't get juniper, white sage also works.
Many find that prayer helps, or leaving the lights on. This seems to disrupt their energy.
I hope this may be of some help.

Yes at 2.53 a very small orb came out the bottom of the window area. We both feel the timing of it and it hauling azz past the camera as it seemed another orb also came out could be it or something. But spring has sprung, and you would not believe the number of critters flying and orbs flying at this time of morning in my back yard. So, no real proof we feel. For some reason I was expecting a black figure to come from that area not a very small orb.
So human spirit travels in orbs. I did not think shadow people were ever human so shadow people also cruise in orbs. The wife woke feeling fine and we studied her fit bit watch for any oddities and nothing really noticeable at the 2.53 timeline. I slept close to her last night, and I will not be taking any more sleep aids now just for safety reasons.
I must say there was no arm or leg movement just solid standing blackness moving at breakneck speed. I Could have blinked and missed it.
