hi, i had a shadow ghost experience when i was pregnant with my last child. i was sleeping and was awoke in terror by someone touching me!!! i literally jumped out of bed {which was a waterbed frame and close to the ground} at about 8 or so months pregnant. right at that very moment i saw a shadow ghost at my side, and it bolted into my closet!!! it was very visible to me. i saw that it had long hair {male or female ???} i saw that it looked tall and i cant explain how it looked when it went into the closet, loss for words? as i jumped out of bed i turned on the bathroom light and yelled to my young teenage daughter to come in the room there was someone in the closet!!! she came in and turned on the room light and i saw noone was there anymore.. but, she said right before i screamed, and she was in the living room, the dog started growling and barking at nothing and the cat was acting up too!! im not sure why i awoke in terror, but it woke me out of a dead sleep, i literally felt its touch, i felt it before i saw it. i just wanted to post this regarding the other recent shawdow ghost story. thanks

Hey, I lived in a house for over 2 years. The 1st year just weird stuff happened and was shruged off.However intill we hightailed it outta there.Almost everyone that came over claimed they saw shadows(like you) Me on the other hand never saw anything.I just dealt with the after effects..Things being moved, always sounds etc. So i believe also... I just havent figured out if im supposed to be scared are not!

Wow, what an experience! It does sound like you definitely had something going on.
I didn't think about it before, but shortly before we moved into our present home, I had a similar experience. We had moved my mother in with us a few months prior. One night, very late, I woke up and looked from our bed into the kitchen. We had kept the door open so I could listen for Mom. What appeared to be the dark, shadow form of an elderly woman was leaning over my sink. I got up, thinking that my mother was ill, and much to my surprise when I turned around, nothing was there.
We had some odd things happen in that home, including guests who came to the door seeing the apparition of an elderly woman. That was the first time I actually saw anything in that house.
Have you had anything else happen before or since that incident? The dog's behavior is indicative that you had a "visitor". Maybe it was a deceased relative checking in on you while you were expecting? Interesting story!

hi carrie, thanks for reading my story. i did actually have something happen in the condo over the 20 years that i lived there, but im not sure if its truly related to that incident.. i moved into the condo when i was 12 with my mom and sister. this was in cerritos calif. i over the years would wake in the middle of the night out of a dead sleep and be terrified, i just knew someone was in the room. i would be so scared that i couldnt even move my head to look towards where i felt they were.. i would just sit there for an unknown amount of time, and then all of a sudden the feeling of them being there would just disapate, and i would finally have the nerve to look over to where i felt they were, which was the far end of my closet.. what was weird over the years of this exact thing happening was that i always felt that the person??? was in the exact same place and i would see in my mind a man, but only in shadow.. i dont feel though this was the same shadow ghost i saw later.. it seemed that it was a tall man, probably with short hair.. i to this day dont know what that was, but from other experiences in the condo, including the shadow ghost experience, think the land may have been haunted.. there was only one other family who lived in the condo before us and they were all alive when they left... my boyfriend would tell me stories of how i would wake in the middle of the night saying there was someone in the house and make him go check it out, and he would tell me other strange things i would do related to people being in the house, but i would have no recolection of any of it when he told me.. before the condo's were built, the city was known as dairy valley, so there may have been old property there before they modernized that area... i have just started looking into this...

Hi greenfaeriequeen - welcome to SpiritKeep! =)

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Pretty unnerving, isn't it? I've had a handful of these same type of experiences; they are also known as Sleep Paralysis or Old Hags Syndrome, although yours are a bit different in that you were still able to move during the event - you even got up from the bed. The scientists attribute these events to brain chemistry, but after having been through them myself, I have to wonder if there isn't more to it! I mean really - in your case - how could it have been a product of brain chemistry when your pets acted up at the same time? From what I know, this seems to happen more often to teens/young adults and women who are pregnant. I wish we knew more about it!

Once again, thanks for sharing! =)
