Nightmares And A Shadow Creature
When I was about four years old my mom married this guy named Ken (totally hate him) so we moved into the house my great grandmother left for her.
Before my great grandmother died, the house felt OK, but when we moved in something was out of the ordinary. About a month after we moved my cat, jasmine, got hit by a car while I was at my dad’s. I thought it was a joke. They buried her in the backyard near the woods. I started having nightmares.
My first nightmare goes kinda like this: I was having my whole 5th grade class over for a field trip to my house. Jasmine was all bloody and had two moles with her. They both had bloody teeth. (I had gotten my new cat that I now own by then). They wanted to kill my new cat Moonlight. They all jumped at me while I was running with my beloved cat and I woke up screaming. I didn’t notice I was crying and sweating.
My room, like any teenagers, was a mess, so I had a family birthday coming up and was wrapping presents in my room. All of a sudden the tissue paper starting bouncing around like a frog. I got freaked and told my mom, she said it’s probably just the meds.
The next night I couldn’t sleep so I got up to get a drink of water, and I felt like something was staring at me real hard so I turned around to see a black shadowy creature moving towards me. I started shouting all these things, I remember only few things that I said. I told it to go away and that it wasn’t welcome here. Mom ran downstairs and the next morning she told me that I was pale white and she found me in the kitchen, and I was solid.

Black Shadow Man
It happened when I got in a car accident five years ago. My leg was broke and I needed to use a wheelchair. But it was hard for me to go upstairs, so my mom decided that I will sleep in the living room for a while. She put my sofa bed in front of the kitchen door.
That night when I was half sleeping, I felt someone beside me. I couldn’t move my body because I was scared he would know I was awake. I prayed Holy Mary three times. Then I felt him leave.
In the morning, our maid always leaves the kitchen light on. By that time I was already awake. The kitchen door was half open, and at the back of the door, I saw an image. It was a shadow, I thought it was nothing. Maybe it was a visitor of my dad.
But then in a flash I remembered that there was nothing to hold that shadow and it was at the back of the door, six feet tall. Then I moved my body to see him more clearly, but he moved backward.
So I laid down, and he looked at me again. Even though I didn’t see his face, just a shadow, I knew he was looking at me. Then I just got a goose bump.
I shouted my maid’s name and after I shouted, he disappeared. My maid ran to me and asked what was wrong. Even my dad and mom panicked. I just told them that I saw someone. My dad looked in the kitchen but no one was there.
After that night, I never slept in our living room again..

Black Shadow Man
In 2005 I was about 11 years old and my mother and her boyfriend went to a football game in Atlanta, GA. I didn’t want to go so my mom let me spend the night at my Aunt and Uncle’s house.
Later that night, when I was getting ready for bed, my aunt said “sweetheart, take a bath before you go to bed it will help you sleep better.” and I said “ok” then she said “I’ll run your bath water for you ok! so close the door and go get your pajamas.
I pulled up the door and I turned around and I saw her spring some salt stuff in my bath water (my mother said she like used to do voodoo and everyone in our family thinks she crazy). Anyway I thought that was very weird.
So that night when I slept in the guest room I woke around 3:00 am and I looked to my left and there was a tall black shadow looking down at me. It was kinda like an outline of a very tall person and it kinda floated into the hallway.
I don’t know how to describe it but it freaked me out. I got out of bed and walked into the hallway and it wasn’t there. I was freaking out. I slept in the living room that night even though I wasn’t supposed to.
Later that day when my mom picked me up I told her about it and she was quiet for a minute and she looked at me and said, “that’s ok, you don’t have to spend the night here anymore”.
After we got home she told me that my aunt did the same thing to her and she saw a black shadow too. My mom said she doesn’t like that freaky weird stuff. And My uncle just died and his funeral is tomorrow and I think that my aunt is just trouble.

Shadow Man | Was It Granddad’s Ghost?
About two years ago my granddad passed away. I was so sad. I was only nine at the time. I’m now 11. He give me a doll house he had built himself, so I put it on top of my wardrobe
A couple of days later I saw this shadow near my wardrobe. It had long hair like a girl. Then I saw it again, but this time it had no hair. At first I just thought it was my shadow because I have always been scared of my shadow ever since being a little toddler.
Then I went to a mates sleepover and I told them about it. They thought I was messing about, but the next morning my mate Amy saw it. It couldn’t have been my shadow because it was standing at the top of the stairs as I was walking up.
I started to tell other people and it started to not came as often. I told my mum. She said, when you see it shout at me, so I did and my mum didn’t see anything. She said I was going weird.
A few days later I heard someone come down the stairs. I thought it was older sister or older brother. I was on the laptop in the front room when I heard it. It came down the stairs and opened the door and walked in. I screamed, it was just standing there.
My sister came in and said “what’s wrong” and I told her, but she didn’t believe me. I told my mum to come and this time she saw it. I told loads more people about it and it started to go away. I have not seen it since, but I’m sure it was my granddad checking on me. love you granddad miss you loads.
