I'm 16 years old and about a year and a half ago, in October, I started to see a black shadow. The shadow is the figure of a tall man wearing a top hat. The first time I saw it, I was in the car taking my friend home. The shadow walked in front of the car as he tipped his hat. I freaked out because it had startled me, but nobody else in the car had seen it.

A month or two later (late November/early December), I was in class and just happened to be looking out of the window. I saw the figure again as he was walking by and my heart started racing. The shadow was tipping his hat again. I looked away, and looked back and the shadow was gone.

A few months after that incident (around February), I was walking out of my mom's room and I saw the shadow man walking down my stairs. He was literally two feet in front of me, but he kept walking down the stairs. Again, he had been tipping his top hat. I called for my mom and told her what I saw, but explained that I thought I might just be seeing things. Our dogs were outside and neither my brother nor my dad was home. We also checked all of the doors in our house and they were locked.

In April of that year, my grandmother passed away. I talked to my Native American friend about what I had seen and she told me that the shadow could have been quite literally the "shadow of death", warning me that my grandmother was going to pass away.

I didn't see the shadow for nearly a year. Last month, I had a strong feeling that I was about to see it again. I drew a picture of the shadow and showed it to my mom. We talked about it and I realized that I'm not scared of the shadow, however, after I see it my heart starts racing and I seem to become more alert.

I saw the shadow again two weeks ago. Now I really am starting to get scared, even though the shadow has never hurt me and it always tips its hat at me, which is supposed to be a sign of respect.

Does anybody know what might be causing me to see this shadow and how I should handle it?

This can also be your guardian angel.it's said that we all one.I would not be afraid of it.I think it's around to look over you.

It really could be a number of things, it really depends who you asking and what you want to believe. It could be a "guardian angel", a "demon", a "lost soul", a "ghost"-- the list goes on.

Now what do you want to do? Do you want to get "rid" of it or do you want to know why it's following you or both?

Now you have even more options.

You can:
-talk to a pastor or priest
-seek a psychic or medium for help
-cleanse your home and yourself

Hope I helped.

Don't be afraid and observe when the shadow happens. Does it happen before something good happens or bad? Does it tell you something?

You said that it tips its hat.

THAT is shadow people!
They wear fedora hats.

Shadow People

The shadow could maybe be a past relative or someone who used to reside where your house lies. If it is always being courteous by tipping its hat then it should do you no harm. It might just be doing its daily routine from when he was alive. I know its scary but there is nothing to fear

Your obviously quite sensitive to spirit. It could be a somebody who used to live around there and just visiting the place again and as your sensitive you are seeing him, as people have already said 'tipping his hat' he's being respectful, courteous and probably from another time where they used to do that. So is just saying hello. Could also be a guide of yours too,seeing as you keep on seeing him. Try talking to him next time and saying hello back. Nothing to be afraid of,doesn't want to do you any harm.

Thanks everybody for your responses :) We are the first owners of the house I live in so I doubt that it's the ghost of somebody who used to live here.

I mentioned how my Native American friend said the shadow could've been warning me that my grandma was going to die. Well, four days ago, my best friend's dad passed away. I haven't seen the shadow since then, so I'm thinking that the shadow is related to death.

It most likely was that then.
It could be shadow people but I have never heard of them forewarning.

Even though you are the first to live in a house ghosts can still be there because they are not limited to material things such as buildings. I have heard of people burning down haunted houses and rebuilding and the ghosts were still there.

I sense when people are going to pass away. I will just oddly start thinking of them, I see shadows on occasions. In December I started seeing a shadow around my office, the odd thing about the shadow was I could look at his right arm and see flesh color around his wrist and then it appeared that he was wearing some type of a red bracelet. Driving home later in the week he was sitting in the passenger seat of my car. When I got home he was actually sitting on the hood of my car and jumped off. My best friend called me on the phone and told me her husband had passed away on December 17th. She had separated from him in November, she was devastated. It was awful because it was almost as if someone was telling me he was going to pass.

iv'e seen one too that's why I was looking up on Google but this one was wired completely black and walking up to me.. my fried saw it too and she pointed it out because I've seen it before and tlk her about it.. then again with another friend... im freaked out and scared to go outside because its right in front of me usually at night

Its possible that it is your guardian angel. Because if your seeing it every once in a while, that means its watching over you and protecting you. I believe that you can have a guardian angel and protects you from harm.

Sounds like he s nothithing but a big sweetheart to me.

I also have a similar experience

I have seen this hadowy figure but with a pointy hoodie like a big robe or something on the lines of that I've seen it outside my window but looked like it was actually inside of it about 3 am the dog wouldn't leave the front door and knew it was outside, also seen it twice at work one at the burned down old building peeking out of one of the windows this was like 7;30 in the morning.

Then another time at work down one of the isles I can't help but feeling that this thing whatever it is has been following me for some years, as when I was fifteen I moved out of my old house in wales where I saw a young girl at my bedroom door and after that very strange stuff started to happen in the house like a chair coming from under the dining room table like 3 feet, I caked my pants . Then running down the stairs very very loud bangs then would run upstairs nothing would be out of place. Can anyone shed any light as to what this is.

I haven't seen the shadow recently maybe 8 months or more but keep on feeling I'm being watched and can see it dart quickly like its tryna hide from me seeing it or am I just going crazy?

Please don't take the piss because I'm actually being genuine its no hoax no lies or bull****

%100 truthfull

When my wife came home from church tonight 9.oopm and dark, she was walking alone, only 5 minutes from the house. While she was walking she was suddenly aware that there were two shadows. Her own and another. She did not hear any footsteps and when she turned round quickly there was no one there. As she kept walking this shadow shape appeared again, and she quickly hurried home. On telling me this when she came in, I have recorded it for your interest. What inspires me is that I am fascinated by the unexplained, and if there is such things they obviously have no substance in our universe and in a way transparent to what we do. Maybe time for them is quicker, therefore we only see them in short burst then they fade. I believe, my wife as she has recently had major heart surgery and sometimes these traumas do effect us in an interchangeable way. Therefore, she can tune into their presence but only for a short time. I would love to know there chanel, would love to speak to them for answers unknown.

Hey guys, I wrote this post 3 years ago. I haven't seen the shadow since, so maybe it was my guardian angel just showing me that he was watching over me during a really rough time in my life. I appreciate all of the insight!

@Bradyjuice, maybe the shadow/spirit is also trying to watch over you- even though it is scary it could be trying to comfort you. Sometimes I still feel as though I am being watched although I haven't seen the shadow since this post years ago, but sometimes my dog barks into my empty bedroom or bathroom until I reassure him. I'm no longer afraid when I feel that a presence is near and I have really turned to my faith as a sort of protection from evil spirits so I think whatever is attached to me is good and pure.

Im having this problem now! :(

I can hear ghost winds blow through the house at night and then it's there looking at me

Toonkyle - feel free to repost this as a new thread. We can better address your issue then.

This relates to me so much I am forteen my step grandpa was paralized and bed riddin he was always telling me that he kept seeing a man in front of him and he can't do anything about it he said he seen these black figures looking in the window at him then one day he passed away now I am seeing them in my basment me and my step mom have talked to phscics and I can strongley tell you what you are seeing it is death what this shadow does is it stays and shows its self to who ever and it gets them comportable so he van take them to heaven I'm not crazy I am seeing these shadows

You very well may be seeing shadows... but death is not an actual entity. God doesn't need spirits to ferry people to the other side. You're not crazy for seeing these things... but if you want these things gone, you may want to open your mind beyond the psychics.

Lately, me and my family have been seeing black shadows walking around my apartment. My sister saw herself in the middle of our hallway and we don't have any kind of mirrors around. A few days after I saw a black shadow come out of my bathroom, look at me, and went back inside, I checked if anything was in there but nothing was there...


I think something is watching me and my family

Is this good or bad?

And you should talk to a religious person

It's bad... and yes, consult with a pastor or priest.

I can't tell you an answer. But all things I know like saying death has many faces. I only seen a shodow three time and three time someone I know has passed away with in a week or a day. I come to know this showdow as death . But its last visit was interesting cause arch angel Michael showed up and stared right at the showdow. Few days later my foster mum died

I had this happen to me for the first time ever in the beginning of November 2012. I was reading a new book during the day in broad light. I saw a very black shadow of a man with no hat, around 6 feet tall. Just stood there, I looked again it was gone. This happened twice that same 1 1/2 weeks. In daylight. Two weeks later I got a call one of my childhood friends died. I haven't seen it since.

I have previous post on here its #14

I have seen a few things in life at my age of 24, sounds ridiculous but its true, a very vivid memory I have was being around 1 or 2 and actually floating in the air in some green and silver like glitter mass, I've never really been able to understand what happened, I first started seeing things when I was around 6 we moved to wales and I was making some breakfast in the kitchen, when one of the chairs came sliding from under the table probs about 2 foot, no one there so I sat in front room, shut the kitchen door and heard really heavy breathing like literally someone was sat next to me, instantly ran up to my mum and dads room really scared and in shock, didn't believe me, then nothing happened for around another say 6 years one night I'm in bed with my cat, the cat actually woke me up with the sound of its bell he was at my face like pawing me which I thought whys he doint that really odd behaviour when I looked at my door which was open and there was a girl stood there aged around id say 6 or 7, I couldn't see her face as her face covered it, I froze under the covers, I was in shock and couldn't move it felt like I was paralysed. So I'm 12 now yeah now since being 12 I heard running down stairs,bedroom doors physically wouldn't open at one point, really loud bangs almost crashing type sound, when I say loud I mean really loud, but there was never anything out place, also had an experience in bed while I was trying to get to sleep I felt someone push me in the back, then nights later I awoke to a boot being tossed at me, and I literally woke up with it in mid flight, then the weird thing was a little black orb like shard thing flew out my room really quick it all stopped when I turned around 15 to 16, so 2 years I was working as a roofer and that fell through so I moved back to my roots to the north west, so I were asleep on the couch at my mum and stepdads house when the dog woke me proper acting strange like stood at the door kind of thing so I got up because it were like when a dog reacts as if someone's just knocked on the door so anyway this was around 2 to 3am so I got near the door then the handle started shaking so I went to look out the window right next to it because I thought it's a burglar when all of a sudden there was no one there and a black shadow quicky darted like through the window kinds thing I could see the outline as it had a pointy kind of robe hood, it was so quick, however I didn't feel threatened or anything I just felt a bit took back as to what the hell was that, so I told my mum what happened and then she was like really omg, me and ste heard like horses trotting around, I was like what the heck, anyway to cut a long story short I have seen this figure outside my previous work peering at me behind something then when I seen it it quickly darted back, then also once in work while I was stacking some shelves and I'm sure it was down one then when I went it disappeared, the last experience I had was when I was 23. I haven't had any for a while however I do sense the presence now and again, sometimes though I have crazy dreams and I know this sounds weird but I have a thing for magpies. I hope somebody out there
Can shed some light on these experiences as I have found help no where and I just want someone to actually clarify that this does happen, and hopefully why it happens.

Thank you for your time to read this post, and I hope somebody can help

Are you still seeing the shadow? I found this page because I recently lost my boyfriend. The night before he went in the hospital for trouble breathing, he was coming back from the bathroom and told me the house was possessed. I asked him why, he said at night when he comes back to bed from the bathroom at night a black shadow comes toward him from the front door. I told him it was just his shadow... the next day he was admitted to the hospital and five days later passed away. He also would always say that someone had put a curse on him and he needed a chicken. He even said that at the hospital. I told him he needs to pray, not believe in voodoo curses. It has been a month today. I feel like I should have listened to him instead of blowing it off. I still believe God has power over all things although I don't understand why he would take him at such a young age leaving behind his young boys and ripping my heart from my body. Does anyone know more about the shadow of death and curses?

You believe in God... yet I have a suspicion you don't spend too much time in the Word of God. If that were the case you would understand curses (and death). Life is not guaranteed to anybody... however, it's even more susceptible to death to those you have a demonic presence in their life. If your boyfriend was so sure that he had been cursed, and that he needed a chicken to aid in that... I'm guessing he was involved in aspects of the occult to begin with... or he at least allowed his beliefs to go in that direction. I'm sorry for your loss, and death is a pain to all... but according to the Word of God, ALL are accursed outside of Jesus Christ... and as humans, we all at some point will die.

A side note, many demonic spirits can cause death and sickness... I doubt he was specifically followed by "death".
