What are Shadow People? Darker than darkness itself, shadow people are plucked from your deepest fears and then become a reality. These non-material, phantom figures give the perception of a shadowy patch in humanoid, animal-like or blobby forms. Sometimes they appear as a black foggy mass that can block out all light behind them or a cloud that envelops your body, leaving you trembling in fright but unable to move, speak or cry out.
Shadow people usually loom at night when their presence is most startling and eerie. Their actions range from lingering bedside or consuming their victims' body with heart-pounding and incapacitating horror. Reports of violent physical assaults and sexual attacks are also common during these petrifying encounters.
Perhaps shadow people are so terrifying because they are said to possess supernatural abilities. These inter-dimensional beings are able to move through our reality at incredible speeds, pass through walls and shape-shift into any form of their choosing. Shadow people are known to momentarily appear in the corner of your eye and dart out of view when you turn to look straight at them.
Scarier yet, shadow people can appear in a variety of forms including classic humanoid silhouettes, the sinister looking hat man, and the insidious wizened hag. Other shadow forms reported are the black ethereal fog-like mist, many different animal shadows, and ghastly flying winged creatures like the ones reported in the Mothman incidents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
The History of Shadow People The threat of Shadow People is not a new phenomenon. For centuries many cultures have shared reports of assaults by entities from the world of the unseen. Renowned artists dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries depict shadowy beings in their work, and newspaper stories in the early 19th-century retell the monstrosity of supernatural attacks. More recently shadow people have captivated the imagination of the masses on radio talk shows like Coast to Coast AM.
Explaining Shadow People There has been much speculation as to what or who shadow people are and why they plague certain people. Some believe them to be extraterrestrial in origin, inter-dimensional beings, or demonic entities. Others claim they are nothing more than spirits or ghosts of long-dead ancestors. More recent research points to the Djinn, a race of spiritual beings who are well documented in Islamic culture and religion.
Many scholars and researchers believe shadow people feed off of the vibrational energy produced by fear. That is, they purposefully appear in forms designed to terrify their victims, driving fear levels to the extreme.
Skeptics and mainstream scientists - most of whom have never experienced the shadow people phenomenon themselves - deny their existence and purport their perception as nothing more than the active human imagination.
The Rise of Shadow People No one knows for sure why encounters with creepy phantom entities are on the rise but there is one thing we do know, people who have been confronted by these malevolent bedroom invaders are usually left with a feeling of terror, confusion, isolation, and disbelief. Many of them are often too afraid and embarrassed to share their supernatural experiences. And for some, the encounters are so vivid, extraordinary, and traumatic they begin to question their own sanity. In fact, some people choose not to speak openly about it for fear of being labeled "crazy".
Could these shadow beings really be the ancient race known to the Islamic world as the Djinn?
The History of The Djinn
The Arabic word Jinn, also romanized as djinn, is from the verb 'Janna' which means to hide or conceal. The Djinn are intelligent spirits with a sorted history of uprising, banishment and demonic behaviors. The first stories of the Djinn emerged from early Arabian culture and were later adopted by Islamic theology. Also known as Jinn or Genies, The Djinn is a lower rank of angels that can appear in humanoid, shadow and animal forms and are able to possess humans.
The Djinn were without original form, they were spiritual beings made from a scorching, smokeless fire, that in today's terms would probably be described as a type of plasma. It is said that the djinn are masterful shape-shifters, with the ability to choose any form they like. In Islamic belief, djinn are often associated with the forms of human shaped shadows, snakes and dogs.
According to legend, the Djinn inhabited the earth before mankind, approximately 2000 years prior to the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Originally they were equal to angels in stature. When God created Adam, he told the angels to bow to him and the angels respected this request. But the leader of the Djinn, a spirit known as Iblis (also known as Shaytan), refused and proclaimed he would not bow to a being that was inferior to his own race.
As a result of his refusal Iblis and the rest of the Djinn were cast out of paradise, banished to another dimensional realm. Iblis appealed and the Djinn were given the opportunity to redeem themselves by Judgment Day. From this day forward he became a figure comparable to the Devil (Satan). His evil-minded followers were then called devils, and they behaved in ways similar to Western demons.
However, the Djinn were believed to have free will so some of them were not evil followers of Iblis. Rather, they were good spirits. It is believed that the Djinn lead lives with families similar to humans.
The Wrath of The Djinn Adding to the mystery and intimidation of the Djinn is their ability to shape-shift into a variety of forms. Originally they were described as plasma-like beings made from scorching smokeless fire. Many scholars and researchers have suggested the Djinn are inter-dimensional beings that are able to traverse time and space. They enter our reality from the world of the unseen through inter-dimensional gateways and portals. And these channels may allow them to menacingly infiltrate homes and bedrooms across the globe to frighten people beyond their wildest nightmares.
Recent research has connected the Djinn with the shadow people phenomenon. It is believed that these non-material predators are the culprits behind the terrifying visitations that many people experience each night worldwide. It has been suggested that some of the more hostile Djinn are taking these shadowy forms in an attempt to terrorize mankind as payback for taking their place on the planet.
The most evil types of Djinn listed below are said to be responsible for a large number of possessions and evil manifestations that have been reported over the centuries.
The 'ifrit (variation, afrit) is cited only once in the Qur'an and is an evil and powerful Djinni that is difficult to control.
The shaitan (shaytan) is a rebellious, malevolent Djinni associated with demonic forces.
The marid is unruly and rebellious, and the most powerful of Djinn. Their great knowledge of magic has assisted kings and priests over the years. They are also known as "blue" Djinn and are the ones most often associated with wish-granting genies.
The nasnas are half-human, half-animal monstrous beasts created by wizards and priest to guard their strongholds. Although they only have one leg, they are quite able-bodied and can scare anyone from miles away with their blood-curdling screeches.
Are the Djinn attempting to reclaim dominion over the Earth and insert their evil ways into our reality? And are the Djinns what we've come to know as shadow people, lurking in the darkness, actualizing our deepest fears and greatest nightmares?
For many people, the threat of the Djinn is real. They believe ancient beings roamed this earth long before mankind ever set foot on this planet. And if we keep our heads buried in the sand they will without a doubt take it back.
