High-Energy Shadow Person
by Kim

A few times I have relayed a story to close friends and family members about an experience I had 17 years ago. No one knew what to make of it and they all said they never encountered such a thing as I had. Only after reading similar stories at your site did I feel relieved about what happened to me.

At the time I had just rented an apartment in Houston, Texas and was living alone. As my room was small, my bed was positioned with the long side flat against the wall. Every night, I slept with my back against the wall. Except for the faint glow of a far away street light my room was very dark.

I recall being awakened out of a deep sleep and opened my eyes to find a short, dark figure standing up against my bed directly opposite me. This figure was blacker than the darkness of my room and it was in silhouette. It stood there staring very intently at me. I could not make out any facial features or eyes, and the outline looked like someone draped in a sheet. It was short, maybe about four feet tall. The intense energy of this being was very frightful and I did not have a good feeling about it.

I laid there for a time feeling somewhat paralyzed, and all the while this figure continued to look at me. Suddenly, I reached up and turned the light on and the figure disappeared. I know this was not a dream because I recall distinctly being awakened from my sleep. I know now that what awakened me was the intense energy and presence of this shadow person. It seemed like it stood there watching me sleep almost out of curiosity. I have never encountered it again and hope not to. It's not the kind of thing you want coming around for a visit.

I have made sure many times to say the very powerful "Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel" for protection. I would suggest that anyone having these kind of strange encounters to do the same. He is very powerful in protecting us against the forces of darkness! Trust me, it works!
