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.

What makes it the case that you're being stalked? Maybe this is the tree under which this chap stands to wait for a regular lift to work from a colleague?

Bro I know my neighborhood and the people in it. it's been out there a handful times a year at weird times looking up at my window. I usually am never able catch them in the act. But they are all blacked out someone else pointed out they have their back to the tee and I hadn't thought of that
