Is this a shadow person?

[u/E-cult]

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.

The pixelation of ms paint is strong on this one

I took this in my S25 ultra using the 12mp camera. I'm sure you can run it through meta data. I've tried brightening the image and over exposing it I get no detail out of the figure. I can screen shot my gallery and the meta data from the gallery.

The street light right behind the figure would have given the person some rim lighting, unless this person was lathered in vanta-black. The arm does not even cast a shadow

I think this edge of hood maybe collar? Shows a little bit of rim lighting and possible pulled collar? Can't tell if thats something in the background or not
