I’ve been seeing shadow beings my whole life but i thought it was just something i made up as a kid because i was scared of the dark. I’ve never actually wanted to share my experiences because schizophrenia and bipolar disorder runs in the my family. But i experienced something so terrifying i’m sure i will never be able to forget because instead of seeing the shadow beings recently I’ve been seeing the hat man. but unlike the shadow beings i couldn’t see his eyes. It was 4 in the morning and I laid down to sleep. I faced my sisters bed and closed my eyes. when i realized i couldn’t sleep i opened my eyes. In the corner of the room i saw a shadow figure coming out of the darkness in front of my sisters bed. i wanted to sit up and turn on the lights. but i couldn’t move, i just laid there trembling. My whole body was trembling out of control. i was so scared. i closed my eyes hoping he would be gone when i opened them but i could feel him there just staring at me. when i opened them he got closer. and i once again closed them tightly hoping it was a nightmare and that any moment i would wake up. when i opened my eyes he was closer and my body was filled with so much fear, i was so scared that all of a sudden his dark shadow face would get eyes and stare into my soul or kill me. then he was just gone. just like that. lost in the darkness. but it took like 3 minutes for me to finally move and stop shaking so badly. After this experience i had to find out what was happening. and I looked up the shadow beings and found pictures. Pictures that looked similar to the ones i would draw of them. i also found this site and I am so glad to find out that i’m not alone. And i”m not the only one seeing them. I’m curious about if the Hat Man can hurt you, i’m so scared that her might be able to.

They aren’t the hat man but these are of the shadow beings. I drew them with smiles because sometimes I feel like they are amused by my fear.
