Real Life Paranormal Experiences Part 1

Shadow People (1)

Told by HalfSlice

I guess it all began when I was four.

My mom was out working and my dad was in charge of taking care of me. It was a typical weekday morning. I was eating cold soup while my dad fed it to me. Oddly the T.V was off, it was odd since we usually kept it on. I happened to look towards the door which led to the back of the house. It was slightly opened. Then I saw it.

A dark figure, a silhouette of a woman was walking towards the door. Shocked I stood still and watched as she disappeared behind the door. My dad asked what was wrong and I pointed. "There's a lady behind there," I said. My dad thought I was playing tricks on him. Finally giving into my nagging he looked behind the door. The lady had disappeared.

It wasn't until a few months later that I had more encounters with the "shadow people."

I have many memories of them. They watched me as I played, and while I slept. Once I was poked roughly in the back, twice! I looked over to see who it was and to my astonishment no one was in the room. I had become rather anxious and even forced my mom to sleep next to me. I sometimes even talked out loud to myself to see if anyone would respond, I always felt that they did.

I remember one last occasion when I last saw them. I woke up early in the morning, around 2 or 3 A.M. Since I slept in my parents' room at the time I would always be disturbed by their snoring, but this time was different. Feeling rather off I looked over my shoulder to where their T.V was. A dark figure was hammering away at the T.V screen. My eyes burst out of its sockets when my eyes landed on the mysterious creature. It looked as if it had a small stool under its "feet," the figure wore a cap and had something similar to a tool belt around its waist.

When I woke up the next morning the figure was gone. I was sure he broke the T.V screen but there it was, dusty as ever. I told my mom about it but she blamed it on my lack of sleep.

I always wondered what lurked around my house. And recently I found out what.

In 2014 I heard about "spirit orbs" which could only be captured with a camera of some sort (I don't remember if it was a specific camera or just a regular one.) Me and my cousins (who are in their twenties) went to my house to investigate. They took pictures all around the house. One of my cousins made me pose in one of the pictures. When we looked at the photos taken we caught something eerily similar to the spirit orbs I heard about, one was floating right next to me in the picture.
