READER QUESTION:
How Do I Get Rid of a Shadow Person?

By , About.com Guide   August 28, 2010

Follow me on:

"Could you please tell me how to get the shadow person out of my home?" writes Crystal S.

Answer: How do you get a shadow person out of your home? Turn on the light! Ba-boom-ching!

But seriously, folks... In order to get rid of something we first have to know what we're dealing with. For example, if you had either ants or squirrels invading your home, an exterminator would deal with them in entirely different ways. So first it would be very helpful to know exactly what a shadow person is....

Eat and cook with a lot of onions and garlic. Seems they hate the smell. I eat only raw onions and they leave me alone. The rest of the family complains about shadow people bothering them, but me, I just see them flit by once in a while, probably in a hurry to get out of my vicinity. I become irritated dealing with the living, so when I’m not willing to put up with their shenanigans, they see my bad attitude and stay out of my way. I have the same effect on spiders, flies, and mosquitos.

I used to be visited by a shadow being the same one, once as a child, then as a teenager, then twice in my very early 20’s all in different houses. I think it likes to let me know I can run but can’t hide – joking. Seriously now though I just think how dare you turn up and although i’m not religious I think of God. I have not seen this shadow thing for nearly 10 years now. I believe it’s a direct result of my new attitude, because as a child and teenager it scared me that for years I would sleep with a night light on.

You can’t get rid of them. They will leave on their own , remember, they may not be able to see you. The are interdimensional beings who sometimes do not realize they are here.
They are just part of the natural world, nothing to be afraid of.

I’ve been dealing with the same “shadow” person for a very long time. After my first marriage dissolved, I moved back in with my father, as my mom just passed away a couple years
before that. Everytime I was in my dad’s kitchen I’d see a shadow out of the corner of my eye walk in the kitchen
(it was only the kitchen), and just stand behind me. I would get a bit freaked out but when I turned around it was gone. Anyway I got my own apartment and whenever I’m in the kitchen I see a tall, dark shadow stand behind me. I’m not that scared any longer about it, I’ve just come to the realization I will continue to see this shadow and I’ve come to
accept it.

I have 3 shadow ghosts in my home. You can’t get rid of them. But it does not bother me at all. I mostly just ignore them, and it stops the activity in the house. But they always come back after a while. But hey, i grew up with ghosts, so i am used to it. Never let them know you are afraid, because they will use it against you. That counts for all ghosts in general.

I have at least 2 shadow people who visit my house. I suspect they are interdemensional as they tend to “borrow” things for a while then bring them back. They borrowed a large, heavy ashtray once for about 3 weeks then brought it back and put it in the kitchen sink. I think I would have noticed it there since I live by myself.
Anyway, they don’t bother me and always return whatever they have borrowed – and quickly if I ask them to return whatever I’m missing.
They haven’t shown up for several months now so they might have satisfied their curiosity for the time being.
