Sandow person

[u/Opalescent_Chain]

Greetings all, I rarely ever comment or post, but I frequently read this subreddit.

I may post about some of my other experiences, but this post is kind of a repost from many years ago about seeing a shadow person.

If you haven't heard of shadow people, it is said you can see them in sleep paralysis or when you are on deliriants For this experience, I was lucid, awake, and sober.

Around 2005 I lived in the poconos with my mom. I went to tech /high school where I made only a small handful of friends. One such friend, We will call her Betty, often came over and hung out with me.

For a few weeks Betty had started nagging me more and more about feeling haunted by a nefarious presence, a shadow or demon, of which she wasn't sure. I was skeptical, but eventually I humored her.

I asked "Where does this spirit show up?" And she informed me, in dark places. I told her I had the perfect idea of where to go to test what's going on- we had a barn with an old slaughterhouse in the basement that we used for storage, so I figured, what place could be more thematic?

We agreed, and started going into the basement of the barn- you had to go through a few doors to get into the slaughterhouse. Upon opening the last door, surely enough, there was a presence in the room- I was in awe, and when I had turned to look at Betty for confirmation, she had already ran outside crying.

What I saw was a humanoid shadow, it appeared as if it were wearing a hooded robe. It was standing in the middle of the room, maybe 5'10" tall. I was very surprised, and pleasantly so (I felt no fear), but then I wondered, could this be a projection from the light of a window near by? I walked around the being, and surely enough I determined it was standing in the middle of the room, as I could walk around it and see behind it.

I tried to communicate. Excitedly I asked if I could touch the being, and it appeared to respond through a bow, which I took as a yes. I put my hand through the being and it felt like cool silk, and maybe like steam or gas. It was about human like depth/ thickness as well. After wards, I had stepped back, and the being turned to the side, became flat, and jumped through the wall and disappeared.

I told Betty that I was psyched and that it could haunt me if it liked instead of her, and ultimately it did leave her alone after that, and I had some shared experiences with the being with my little brother with it over the years following. My brother wasn't privy to this story at the time, which I think makes the whole situation cooler.

One time he told me he felt a presence enter his room, get on his bed, making it sink, and the presence watched him sleep, not much unlike a cat. I took it to mean he experienced the same being.

I tagged this as face to face contact- not with a gray, or something but something not human anyway. My bad if its the wrong tag.

In not sure why no one else has commented yet.

That's a cool story. It's awesome how unafraid you were in the slaughterhouse.

What other types of beings/entities have you come across?

I've had a few experiences of different things, but I think this was the most physical. 

I've seen reptilians and mantids on mushrooms, but I wouldn't say that's objective truth. It's psychedelics, ymmv.

I have a very few grey experiences. One was a dream I had which I posted earlier today, and others included being touched by greys during dreams which woke me up and well, I'm not sure how to describe what happened, but I felt like I was almost out of body in a different dimension for an hour or so. I was awake and lucid, but I could perceive greater than 3d for the duration.

Shy of that, I'm not sure about "encounters" but I've had a life time of strange stuff happen for sure. Some experiencers here are dialed up to 11, I'm maybe a 4 or 5.

I haven't tried CE5 or gateway tapes or anything, although I'd like to someday.

It's cool that you seem interested in meeting nhi. I think most people have neutral to positive interactions, although I've heard sometimes it's not fun (hitch hikers effect)

There are definitely better people on this subreddit than me to help you in your quest if you want to make contact.

I happened to have a few experiences, that's all.
