Shadow People
A shadow person (also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass) is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly as interpreted by believers in the supernatural as the presence of a malevolent entity.
A number of religions, legends, and belief systems describe shadowy spiritual beings or supernatural entities such as shades of the underworld, and various shadowy creatures have long been a staple of folklore and ghost stories.
Several physiological and psychological conditions can account for reported experiences of shadow people. These include sleep paralysis, illusions, or hallucinations brought on by physiological or psychological circumstances, drug use or side effects of medication, and the interaction of external agents on the human body. Another reason that could be behind the illusion is sleep deprivation, which may lead to hallucinations.

SO are they real or just our minds playing tricks on us? Everyone has had that 'something in the corner of my eye' sighting where you think you have seen someone or something moving just out of your line of sight, for me it's a simple case of shadows caused by light of everyday things, but our brain doesn't quite catch it, so you interpret it as whatever you want it to be, a ghost, a spirit or the shadow people.
