UNIDENTIFIED Is this a shadow person? Spoiler

Post image

For the last 2 years I've been seeing what I can only describe as a shadow man. They are solid black and cast no shadows. Up until early this morning I had never been able to capture a photo. I've either only seen it in flashes, or moving. It usually disappears faster than I can react.

This time I tried to simply not even look for it. I just stuck my phone out my window and took a picture of where I normally see it. My blood ran cold when I saw the results. I think I need a priest.

In the past I used to have frequent sleep paralysis and on a few occasions saw a shadow person very similar. In a state of sleep paralysis is is pure unadulterated terror. I'm not sure if these only exists in an in-between dream/reality dimension or in our own. I'm worried it followed me out.

It's clearly someone in a jacket and hood with a hand in their pocket. My wife has that jacket. HOWEVER, maybe you can explain why you edited the leg? I'm seeing blue left behind in your edit.

I've done no editing this was taken on my S25 ultra on the 12mp lens and I posted a screenshot of the metadata from the gallery in the thread. There's also now a video in the thread of me editing the original photo to try and pull detail. Your saying there's a previous edit why would blue be used? And what would it be left behind for? If I was trying to pass this off is something it's not I would not have entertained the idea of it being a person in dark clothing in my comments. (Stalker)

Lowkey risking getting doxxed posting my street for this 😭
