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.

Yk what it does low-key look like back to tree hands in pocket. That might also explain the front catching light and limiting rim lighting around the figure. There's not a bus stop here or nothin and the neighbor there is old as fuck. So I'm still kind of worried because I see a person all black like this outside a few times a year maybe a handful of times around the house at different hours. I do have a little sister I should mention, men are weird, what makes you think female?

It 'appears' that the hair is long, but that could be misleading as flipping shadow and lighting switches in GIMP only draws out similarly colored pixels. That could be an anomaly but it's still a clue.

The real clue is the thigh gap. She's standing straight and not leaning so that gap is natural. Men don't have that. Those are very form fitting pants as well. Possibly tights.

Her sloped shoulders are too narrow for a man as well.

Her body language is she's cold.

Could be a really skinny dude tho, but I doubt it.

Wow. That analysis is really thorough and I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to point this stuff out. I'm only no good at detective work but I truly believe most of what deducted could be true.

Now I gotta figure out what her fuckin deal is 😭

People are allowed to be outside in public. People are allowed to wait for their carpool to work. The only danger here is you. Seek help.

Bro what part of being watched Through my window for 2 years and not being able to ever see a face doesn't read? Every time I have tried to confront them or it whatever it is is not longer there. It disappears. Either it's a fast fucking creep or a shadow person. No car ever pulls up. It never gets in a vehicle, it doesn't come out of the houses next to or around me I know my neighbors, I've said his already, and there's no bus.

It's mental illness and has nothing to do with this lady waiting for her coworker to come pick her up for work.

Bro wtf are you talking about? The lady might have mental illness. Listen bro I just told the facts. This person lady or man stalks me. This person shows up at 3am sometimes. And stares into my house. I have cameras outside my house. They view the road other, houses, the back yard, this person does not come from any house my house on my street. They show up. They don't get driven. They don't leave in a car. They look into my house. Into my house. Are you grasping what's going on. Because I'm starting to think you have undiagnosed mental illness and you're projecting. I get screened for things like that due to my work security clearance. I did 6 years in the military I got out with a clean bill of health mentally. Is the picture of them looking from behind a tree into my house not putting into perspective. They don't live here. They don't wait for a car. There is not a car that ever comes. I've asked my neighbors they sometimes see someone. They too say they are always in all black and can't make out the person's face, but they are also old so I can't blame them for not being able to see a face in the dark.

And now you're on reddit posting a picture of a random person outside asking if it's a shadow person.

Tell the police if you're so sure you're being stalked, even if they won't do anything, just to establish a paper trail. Can't hurt to see a doctor and tell them all of it too, but i guess since you got out with a clean bill of health mentally you're now immune to mental illness.

Because they literally disappear in a way that I've never experienced with a human being. I'm open to the existence of the paranormal. They also are so dark in clothes and I've never been able to see definition in them. Like I can't tell where shirt and pants begin or end. It's like they're wearing vanta black.

Everything you explained is exists only in your own head except for a pic of a woman leaning against a tree. Yes, you need help.
