Do you see "Shadow People"?

[MrBox]

I'm basically talking about all forms of figures in the dark. (I'm not sure what else to call them, let me know if they have a specific name!)

Like when you wake up in the middle of the night and you see a figure looming over your bed but it's actually your coat hanging off your chair, or you see a person folded up in the corner shaking and twitching uncontrollably but it's just a pile of laundry. Or maybe when you drive at night for 9+ hours and you start seeing monstrous shadow creatures that are as tall as the sky.
These are only a few of my personal experiences, but that kind of thing.
(Regarding the shadow people made out clothes and other common items- I see their faces pretty clearly)

When I was younger and I saw my first one, I was terrified. I think I hid under my covers and wasn't sure what to do.

Now, I do any of the following:
1) I get up abruptly and start punching the hell out of it. I give it a good beating.
2) I stare into their eyes until I can no longer see the illusion. Then I get up and start beating it.
3) I ignore them.

Now when I see them though, I either welcome them or remain neutral.

So I want to ask , what do you do when you see them? How do you feel when you do?

When I was a kid, I was really afraid of the dark, so things like this happened often. There’s one night that was the most terrifying, I was sleeping in the living room, and it was pitch black. I woke up suddenly and saw a dark figure staring at me from across the room. I freaked out and quickly buried myself under my blanket, waiting for it to move. When nothing happened, I finally peeked out and stared at it long enough to realize it was just a balloon! Growing up, I don’t really see “them” anymore. It’s unsettling and I’m glad it doesn’t happen

Now this is terrifying! I don’t know what to think if that happened to me, most of mine usually just stayed in place

In some religions, they are actual entities. But they aren't just a coat on a hanger with a closer look. They vaporize into nothing with a closer look. They are attracted to negativity and can but not always be a bad omen. They are often a taboo topic and should not be talked about because that can attract them as well. They aren't spirits as in ghosts, but rather entities from another existence or dimension.
That's all I know, but I know more information out there exists than what I shared but you'd have to find an elder who is willing to share if they even think it is beneficial to share. There are "different" ones from my understanding but the different ones could just them being seen more clearly some times over other times. Some have red eyes while others don't or have a top hat like thing or hight differences or darkness shade differences.

My mother has told a story about leaving my older brother in the bathroom as a baby. She walked out briefly and across the room she saw the figure of a male shadow walk inside into the bathroom.

Her father in law had just passed away.

She suspects he was checking on my baby brother who was unattended.
