My Encounter with the Shadow Man - Part 1

I first encountered the 'Shadow Man' when I was about eight years old.

Our family lived in an old Queen Anne style Victorian home at the time. I remember it was a fall afternoon and I was alone in my room, rolling my Matchbox cars across the wooden floorboards...

Suddenly, a strange feeling washed over me. You know that eerie sensation you get when you feel like you're being watched? That's what it was. I couldn't shake it off. So, I turned around... and there he was. A tall figure, standing next to my closet, devoid of any features... just a dark shadow.

I could see nothing but his form. He wasn't transparent like 'ghosts' you see in the movies. It was like looking at a shadow. But it was three-dimensional, if that makes sense. It was like a void in the room, a man-shaped void.

I remember standing frozen in fear, my heart pounding so wildly that I thought it might burst out of my chest...

I'll share more about my encounters with the 'Shadow Man' in my next post. Until then, keep the light on, fellows.

I know I should focus on the shadow man, but boy, your mention of living in a Queen Anne style Victorian house got me excited. I'd love to hear about the house more, if it doesn't interfere with your shadow man story.

I don't know, man. Could it be you had an overactive imagination? Not saying that you're lying, but being a kid and all. Looking forward to part 2 though. Always love a good creepy story.

So, what you're saying is that you're afraid of your own shadow? LOL!

And here I was thinking I could casually browse r/nosleep before bed. Nope! Thanks, now I'll have one eye open all night, lol.

Sounds to me like you might have actually had a run-in with one of those Men in Black but your young mind tried to process it as a shadow figure. You know, those MIB are known to be lurking around where they aren't wanted. Stay bright, watch over your shoulder.

This sounds like a classic case of an encounter with a 'Shadow Person'. These entities are often seen in the corner of the eye and disappear when directly looked at. They're like shadows but with a more human form. The fact that it appeared near your closet could indicate that the closet could be a portal or a pathway for these entities to move between dimensions. Be careful and I advise not to agitate it by trying to make contact.

Holy crap, dude. I could barely finish reading this without peeing my pants. Can't wait for the next part, but also, kind of terrified! Anyway, stay safe!
