Shadow People: Are they real?

What are shadow people? Have people seen them in centuries past?… Or is this a modern day phenomenon?

Reading more up on this stuff, I couldn’t help but question if it is of the paranormal. I get it could be sleep paralysis or seeing stuff from your peripheral vision. However, it doesn’t explain people seeing them fully awake in front of them.

In recent years, there has been a rise in shadow figure sightings. That is probably due to easily getting your phone out and filming. Not everyone has the best phone

With the rise of shadow people’s sightings, there are a lot of hoaxes. There have always been fakes. With shadow people there, easy to fake.

And here is why.

Anyone can dress all in black and peek out from behind a door frame. You don’t need a photo shop to do something so simple. I have seen a lot of videos on Nuke’s Top Ten channel that has shadow figure peeking out from behind a door frame. If the shadow looks way too solid, then something up.

I always find if the “ghost” in these photos is too solid, then it is a possibility that is a person who is in the picture or inserted into it.

Below are some compelling pictures of shadow people. These pictures have made their rounds on the internet. I will not claim any of these pictures to be real or fake. That will be up to you to decide.

Again, I can understand the explanation of sleep paralysis or seeing stuff from your peripheral vision.

That does not explain these pictures (if at all genuine) and the fact that people had claimed to see shadow people. Yes, people can be out for their own gain.

Is there anyone that has knowledge of photography that can explain some of these pictures? Please tell me about the comments.

All these pictures look compelling. There is at least one I can explain how it could be done. It’s really obvious which one that is.

Have you seen shadow people before? Let me know in the comments.
