Shadow people submitted by Brittany. I was just told about this amazing podcast yesterday

and I started from the very beginning. Second episode was about shadow people

and I thought I would share my shadow people story. I can't recall ever having nightmares growing up and I have definitely never

experienced sleep paralysis until 2014. I had a boyfriend that was doing

some sketchy shit while I was at work which resulted in my door being kicked in by the police early one morning with a search warrant.

By far the scariest day of my life as everything could have went to shit for me in 2.7 seconds.

Either way, after all that, and I was staying in the house alone,

I started experiencing sleep paralysis.

Super freaking scary.

It happened a few nights, and then one night there was a dark figure standing in my bedroom doorway facing the living room away from my bed.

This was the first time and I hope it was the last but it wasn't. It would happen quite often and

the figure was always in the doorway. Never facing me so I couldn't see a face or

anything. So I moved from that house into an apartment and I got moved to a third shift at my job and with that

NY sleep schedule was great. I was sleeping on the couch and it all happened again.

The time during the sleep paralysis and trying to wake myself up, it was like I was awake.

I could see the front door and the TV was still playing the same thing from when I fell

asleep. And there in the corner of my

living room was the dark figure again, still not facing me. So this went on for a

while. Then one day I was asleep on the couch and all of a sudden something

touched my foot and it woke me up so fast.

Up until this time the figure had never gotten close to me or even looked at me and how it touched

me.
