Weird shadow man

I don’t know if you have ever had such an experience: you are sitting comfortably on the sofa, leisurely reading the newspaper of the day alone, under the dim light, with the corner of your eye. I accidentally caught something unusual in the room. "What is that?" When you turn around or raise your head to see clearly, you can't see anything. The dark, shadowy thing that seemed to you just now doesn't exist at all. When you return your attention to the newspaper in your hand, after a while, it appears again. This time you raised your head quickly, and at that moment you could clearly see a human-shaped shadow quickly passing through the wall, and then...disappeared!

What is that? Is it an illusion? Is it a ghost? Or just an ordinary shadow?

Now, more and more people believe they have all had the same experience: an encounter with a shadow person.

The mysterious shadow man

The shadow man that people usually observe is a human-like black shadow that moves at its own pace or speed, and is the size of an adult. similar. Most people inadvertently noticed the existence of shadow people with the corner of their eyes, but when they tried to take a closer look, the shadow people disappeared, so they could not see any obvious facial features. Shadow people can move across a room very quickly and disappear after passing through walls or closed doors. Many people will feel extreme fear and fear when they observe shadow people. Some people involved in the report said that when the shadow people passed through their bodies, they felt an extreme cold. This kind of The coldness disappeared after the shadow man left.

The phenomenon of shadow people has been around for a long time, but it was not until the rise of modern radio, television, and the Internet that the public gradually discovered the fact that they were not the only ones who experienced the fear they had experienced. Art Bell is one of the most well-known evening radio programs in the United States. After Art Bell's latest special feature on shadow people was broadcast, it received at least 4,500 emails. This shows the range of people involved and how widespread this phenomenon is.

Compared with other supernatural phenomena, shadow people have a very interesting characteristic: whether they are old people, children or adults, the shadow people they see and describe are all surprisingly similar. Based on the descriptions of various eyewitnesses, the shadow person is usually a tall, wide humanoid silhouette. The most special thing is that they all seem to be wearing some kind of hat. Some witnesses believe that the shadow people they saw had red eyes that seemed to be able to see directly through people. The height of the shadow people also ranges from more than 1 meter to more than 2 meters, but they all have the same characteristic: they disappear quickly the moment people find them.

Unlike what is commonly known as ghosts or ghosts, shadow people seem to be well aware of our presence. The times when shadow people are usually sighted are also when people are going about their daily business. Generally speaking, shadow people do not have contact with people, but there are exceptions. A report titled "Shadows in the House" once described that there were many shadow people in the basement of a house. The male owner could simply communicate with the shadow people using his mind, but not every communication resulted in a response. After the male owner and his family left for six months due to a fire in the basement, the shadow man communicated with the owner and "complained" that everyone in the house had left, the lights were all dark, there was no popularity at all, and so on. In addition to being able to communicate, they have all the characteristics of shadow people, and most of them are "male" in appearance.

Are our minds delusional?

At present, there are many explanations for the phenomenon of shadow people.

The first explanation: In the view of atheists and mainstream science, shadow people are imaginations caused by human illusions. This phenomenon can be attributed to human beings' excessive tension, paranoia, delusion, and fatigue. hallucinations caused by symptoms. There is a physiological condition called Hrpnogia that may explain part of this phenomenon. In this state, a person is half asleep and half awake, aware of the surrounding situation and at the same time in a state of sleep. At this time, he may regard the scene in his subconscious as the real world. Therefore, some scientists or political figures use this as a basis to explain some incidents of contact with aliens. In addition, this half-dream and half-awake state is somewhat similar to sleep paralysis (also known as sleep paralysis, commonly known as "ghost on the body" or "ghost on the bed"). The person concerned often feels fear and sees shadows, flickering lights, etc. hallucination.

Although this explanation can partially explain the phenomenon of shadow people, it cannot fully provide a reasonable explanation for such phenomena, especially for those parties who are very awake or witness shadow people during the day.

Similar to this explanation, is a new study by neuroscientist Olaf Blanc of the Institute of Brain Thinking in Lausanne, Switzerland. He discovered that there is a special area in the brain above the left ear of a person called the left temporoparietal junction area. When this area is stimulated and excited, it will cause people to have the illusion that there is a shadow person behind them. The shadow person is constantly imitating the postures and movements of the person involved.

This situation often occurs in mentally ill patients, who even have delusions that they have been abducted by aliens one or more times.

Are shadow people real?

Another explanation is to regard shadow people as some kind of "energy body" with very high energy or very dense energy. Because light cannot penetrate this "energy body", it leaves a shadow on the wall, which can also be captured by a camera. Although the shadow does not move on its own, the activities of these "energy bodies" make the shadow come alive. (:://./Please keep reprinting!)

Our human eyes cannot directly see light beyond the range of our vision, such as X-rays and gamma rays. Although we cannot see these lights, they Their presence can be confirmed by their effects on other substances. Similar methods are often used in astronomical observations. Although it is impossible to directly observe whether a celestial body exists somewhere, by observing the impact of this possible celestial body on surrounding celestial bodies or nebulae, it can be inferred whether it exists.

As for the extreme fear that people feel when they witness shadow people, it is not only because we humans have a strong instinctive reaction to unknown things, especially things that are completely beyond the scope of our knowledge. In addition, the sudden appearance and unusual disappearance of shadow people at close range is also an important factor.

Another explanation is to attribute the shadow people to ghosts. Many people believe that shadow people are the souls of people who have passed away, but for some reason were unable to leave the physical world. In most definitions and understandings of ghosts or ghosts, they are mostly white mist-like but completely recognizable human shapes, and have a humanoid appearance, especially often wearing certain clothes. Shadow people, on the other hand, are always dark, more like shadows. Although shadow people generally have humanoid outlines or shapes, their dark appearance also prevents people from seeing their details. In many reports of ghost sightings, the ghost has distinct facial features and is wearing some type of clothing.

Others believe that the shadow man is a creature from other dimensions, because the space where the creature is located overlaps with our space, so we can partially see this creature, or it may be from other dimensions. The projection of living things in our three-dimensional space.

Current mainstream science has confirmed that there is not only the three-dimensional space we live in in the universe, but also other dimensions. So, if there are other dimensions of space, are there creatures similar to us humans living in them? Some theories believe that these spaces are parallel to the space we live in and are usually invisible. However, if the life forms living in them inadvertently break into our dimensional space and are partially visible to us, then these " "Space Traveler" may certainly have a shadowy appearance.
