The Man Of Shadows

My name is Hani and I've been experiencing things all of my 20 years. I'm considered, I guess, a sensitive of some kind so I can very easily feel, hear, and see spirits, as well as they can feed off my energy no matter where I am.

Now that that's over with, I can finally start with the man penned with the name "Shadow"!

Like in my introduction, I've always been able to see spirits, and Shadow started when I was a small child, after I left my home in the Carolinas and moved to Alabama with my mother. I developed a deathly fear of the dark after seeing one too many things in it. This is insignificant now, but, skip forward a few years until I'm 8 years old.

Back when I was 8, I slept against a plastic window that looked into our living room, and I just so happen can see the bathroom hallway. This night, my mom was asleep in her room and my step father was at work so no adult, let alone a man, was even up. I was playing a GBA game and something TOLD me in my head to look out of the window, and, like the child I was, I obeyed. What I saw was a very tall, black shadow of a man going into the very much lit up bathroom. Nothing else happened that night but I was too scared to leave my bed.

After this incident, I started to have night terrors multiple times. When these things attacked, it seemed I was still semi conscious, able to wake myself up but I couldn't STAY awake. I'd fall back asleep within a few seconds and the dream would just continue. This all would happen within the span of ten to thirty minutes and afterwards, I'd fully wake up and then I'd be too paranoid to fall asleep. Beyond the night terrors, nothing signifanct happened (other than hearing my name being called and my things getting moved around). These stopped when I was around 13 or 14.

Activity lulled in my life regarding the spirits, only getting the ocassional feeling they were there, or hearing my name being called on multiple ocassions. It wasn't until this past year I started to question it.

Activity has picked up dramatically and... It seems I've developed a sort of relationship with the spirits inhabitting my home, but, my attention is still drawn in by Shadow. Multiple times I've witnessed him standing above me when I awake in the middle of the night, or when he's standing in my parents doorway at night. He seems to always be there. Even my own mother has felt him sit on her bed, or watch her from their bathroom doorway.

My most recent thing, though, that almost made me freak out was the fact that a few nights ago, I was laying in bed, trying to sleep. All of a sudden I heard this rough, almost SCRATCHY male voice whisper "hello" into my ear. I tried rationalising but... Alas that did not help. I felt a presence in my room until I eventually passed out.

What I want to know is what everyones take on here is. Do you think this man has an attachment to me? Do you think maybe that this may not just be a spirit but maybe something like a poltergeist or something along those lines? Am I just going insane thinking about this stuff?

I certainly don't want him gone since he hasn't hurt me yet I don't think, so I'm just here to get opinions and perhaps peoples take on what's going on!

Thank you for hearing my story and taking the time!
