Hullo /x/.
For my whole memorable life I can remember seeing things. Like. Distortions of the air, akin to Predator's cloaking abilities albeit much much more subtle, in the form of a humanoid figure. It was alot easier to notice as a kid, but lately I've been seeing them alot.
It's really hard to describe anything about them. I can't hear them. I can barely see them. I can't quite describe how I see them. It's like, my mind knows they're there, and that my eyes can't catch it, so it creates a sort of image, like "giving evil a face" type of thing. It's not the sort of thing I can explain, really, you have to experience it.
Anyways, I would always try to explain it to my friends, and they would never understand quite fully what I was saying. Until today, that is. I won't name names, but she's younger, a freshman (I'm a senior) in highschool. She actually brought up the subject and told me literally the exact same things; how you can see them, but you're not really seeing them; how they show up whenever something major happens in your life; and how they seem to show up when your life turns from great to bad and vice versa, but only when it's out of balance or unjust, almost like they decide how your life should be at this particular moment in time. The only differences we seemed to have was that, she could see them in color (blue) while I could only see their presence (however I've seen them in my dreams and they're black; oddly enough, blue is her favorite color while black is mine). I finally found someone that understood. We've come up with alot of theories on what they are, what they do, and how.

Basically, according to our "evidence" which I guess is more along the lines of experiences, we think they may be some sort of beings that control us. They seem to always be there in life changing moments, or when something becomes imbalanced, almost like a karma sort of thing. We believe they move through space-time, and can possess anything that has matter, whether it be a statue, a wall or a person. We believe this because we always notice before the event happens, before we see them, we almost always find something out of place. Usually this thing has something that's slightly off, like a darker shadow, or something. We also noticed, that they seem to not be there in places of "nature", such as a beach, or a forest, etc. Because of the times that they appear, and how it's always a split second after the event has happened, we think they may have something to do with controlling us. I mentioned having a dream about them (there were actually two), so I'll describe them as they may have something to do with them controlling us.

So when I was about four or five I had this dream, where I was trapped in a long, stretched out hallway. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, the whole place was black and white; everything was black and white, as though I weren't seeing in black and white, it just was like that. Anyways, I was walking for a very long time, going through various empty rooms but it all led down a hallway, until I saw something behind me. Its shadow elongated, I turned to see one of them (although I didn't know it at the time) staring down at me. I then ran away in my dream. I don't remember anything after that, but I know it didn't end there, I just forgot.

My second dream was more recent. It wasn't so much a dream as a sleep paralysis hallucination. I was basically unable to move like usual, and I knew I was in sleep paralysis. Then, this thing, which kinda looks like the hat man in the pic but much more distorted, appears out of nowhere. It's coming closer to me. It's not saying anything, but its intentions are being put into my head; it's going to kill my brother, then my parents, then my sister, and then it's going to go after me. I woke up screaming; I had never done that before, and have never even been able to make any vocalization from sleep paralysis.

What I'm getting from these dreams is, my mind is trying to tell me that they control my life, and I can't do anything about it. Maybe being trapped in that hallway was my brain telling me I can't escape them. Maybe my sleep paralysis dream was my brain telling me they do things out of my control (me being paralysed, unable to stop it). Maybe that's an outrageous interpretation, but idk.
I don't think these things we see are necessarily evil though. They seem like balancers. They try to keep the balance of the world, and are usually good at their jobs but when they're so busy and hectic, their ability to be hidden falters. This is why I'm able to see them when things go all weird.
And another thing. They really like nature as I said earlier, but mostly trees. Maybe, to them nature is perfect. Nature is survival, eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. It's not as complicated as human life. Maybe they're just trying to steer us in the right direction but since we're screwing up so bad they can't control us all.

I had to let this out somewhere and I thought here was good, so thank you for taking the time to read this.

TL;DR, I see shadow people and so does my friend.

You have schizophrenia. See a doctor.
>> No. 9564
I agree, it sounds like you both have schizophrenia. Seeing "shadow people" and an overwhelming feeling of being controlled or manipulated by some outside force is common with schizophrenia.
>> No. 9573
I might add that hanging out with people like that could deepen your schizophrenia if you do indeed have it. You should be careful. Get in touch with a doctor.

It's also common with demonic possession. Which is what they are.

Also channelers are just people being possessed by the same things, but they're manipulating people a different way.

You must always be puzzled by mental illness. The thing I would dread most, if I became mentally ill, would be your adopting a common sense attitude; that you could take it for granted that I was deluded. - Wittgenstein, Conversation of 1947 or 1948

Wow, it's been a while since I posted this.
To those concerned while I haven't seen a professional I highly doubt I have any form of schizophrenia as I show no other "symptoms"; in addition, recent events in my life (which I don't care to elaborate) that have occurred would seem to point to me being mentally okay (though I am prone to high levels of anxiety, but aren't we all?). As well, this is not something that rules my life, it's just something I notice when I care to step back a bit from reality I suppose. Our perceptions are quite limited at face value.
I still don't know what they are or why or even if they exist. Ever since recent spiritual enlightenment (due to a few psychedelic experiences [which is evidence enough that I don't have schizophrenia]), I haven't seen them or felt their presence, so I don't know what that tells me. The brain is a strange organ.

How is the other girl??

See the problem with me is I took lots of hallucinogens. After all that experience, any such apparitions that appear to me I simply dismiss as a hallucination. It's a really simple (no assumptions, Occam's Razor etc) explanation. People hallucinate a lot more often than they think, most people just don't have the experience to measure reality against hallucination.

A hallucination is when your brain is mistaken about something it perceived in reality. Such as hearing a noise when no one else does, recognizing a pattern where none exists (seeing a monster out of the corner of your eye that's just the shadow of a chair), and so on. In fact, the description in OP is pretty much the definition of a hallucination: "It's like, my mind knows they're there, and that my eyes can't catch it"
It exists in your mind, but not really in reality.

What's really interesting about this is the shared nature of these phenomenon. Going from the hallucination theory, this would indicate that the shared hallucinations come from some shared subconscious. This may or may not be an assumption to the theory depending on how much you like Jung. But the shared hallucinations can basically be explained by Jung's idea of the collective unconscious.

Now this isn't to say that "oh it's a hallucination so it doesn't matter". Quite the contrary, this whole narrative you and your friend have constructed (or perhaps stumbled upon in the collective unconscious) is, by its nature, very important to the both of you. I think you could both benefit greatly from continuing to research this phenomenon. My suggestion would be to peruse a more mysticism-oriented path than a paranormal one though. Not only does the mystical approach demand less assumptions, but I believe it also has a greater potential to make you better and stronger people.

As I already hinted Jung and his work would be a great starting point. Tarot is another easily accessible avenue of mysticism for most people, and indeed Jung spoke a bit on it (though he focused much more of his writings on alchemy). One of my personal favorite subjects is the ancient mystery religion of Eleusis and other such mystery cults. Also, start focusing more on yourselves. Why do you feel like these beings control you? What has made you latch onto this idea instead of just passing it by? Such questions might prove more meaningful than any external ones you could find.

Good luck, brave warrior.

You can sharpen this sense with time. I'm 24 and I have seen more now then I did as a kid, except the hooded figures I seen had longer fingers. The subtle white ones look like rising heat on pavement and translucent tv static fuzz. Wait till the naturey type spirits start showing up, tall leafy looking things that woke you from dead sleep. Or hearing whispers. It gets more intense if you focus your mind.
