Childhood Shadow Fears

BY CORA M.

This happened when I was younger, between 5-12 years of age in the years between 1999 and 2006. I used to sleep in my sister's room. It’s smaller than the room I sleep in now.

When I used to sleep there, I would always wake up at the same time every night, feeling unusually scared. I would sit up quickly, letting my eyes adjust to the dark. And I would usually see moving shadows in the room, though no one was moving, nor was there any source of light. I would then quickly pull my blankets over my head and later fall asleep.

Eventually I got a new room for my 14th birthday. That’s when even weirder stuff started happening. My bedroom door would move on its own, and so would some of my books. Also, I would hear strange footsteps and voices calling my name. Sometimes a strange shadow would appear in my room.

Even my mother, my cousin, and my sister saw it. My sister once saw it in her room near her closet. I really like reading about the paranormal and I found a lot of people who also had experiences with shadow people. I would really like to hear more of your experiences.
