I am here, because I am doing research on shadow people. My 11 year old step-kid sees two shadow people that demand she feeds them energy by hurting or killing family members. I am a biomedical scientist and doctor in training, so I am a very logical person. Nevertheless, I have dealt with some bizarre things in childhood that lead me to not dismiss the existence of the supernatural.
My step-kid describes two shadow people. The first one is very tall, (11-12 feet tall) very skinny, and he has a blurry face and deep voice. The second one is short and wears a hat. My step-kid moved in with my husband and I five months ago after we found out that she was subjected to physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her mother and her live-in fiance. She has a lot of behavioral issues, and one involves pathological lying. Therefore, not everyone was convinced that she was being truthful about these shadow people.
She started seeing them two years ago while living with her mother, and my step-kid states that she has been dealing with them asking her to feed them energy, via hurting or killing people, at least four times a week over the last two years. When I asked her why she didn’t confide in her mother about these occurrences, she said that her mother would have shut her down and dismissed her claims. I asked my oldest step-kid if he thinks that his mother would have ignored her child’s complaints and fears about these entities, and he said that this is 100% true.
So, in the biological mother’s home, three kids resided with her permanently, and two kids would stay on weekends for visitation. All five of the kids were depressed in recent history, two of them cut or hurt themselves to deal with emotional pain, and all five of them have thought about taking their lives. In this environment of emotional pain, my youngest step-kid starts seeing shadow people that demand that she feeds them energy from the pain of others.
Therefore, as a person of science and medicine, I formulated a list in my head for any organic and psychiatric causes for my step-kid’s experiences. Her previous home environment was enough to almost immediately contribute her claims as psychiatric in nature UNTIL I researched shadow people on a whim. Then, I learned about hat man, the tall shadow person, and how they feed on ENERGY from the pain of others. The claim that these things demand energy from the pain of others sent chills down my spine, because my step-kid has never, ever deviated from stating that these entities demand to be fed negative energy.
My step-kid will not watch anything in the horror genre. Although she can be quite methodical with her plans to hurt others, she is also emotionally immature for her age. Therefore, she only watches animation movies and cartoons. I now have to figure out where to go from here. Because she has not given into the commands made by these entities that she kills her family, she said that they are becoming more hostile and demanding. Yesterday, I heard her having an argument with them while she was in the bathroom about their commands to kill.
I have no choice but to take two necessary actions. The first is to immediately place her in a psychiatric hospital in order to protect herself and others from harm, and every medical possibly for what is happening to her must be thoroughly investigated. Then, I must also examine any possible supernatural causes, and that is why I am here. I would love to hear from people who have knowledge about shadow people, and I thank you in advance for your assistance.
