Hello there, I’m Jamie.
I’m originally from Peru, been living in Australia for around seven years now. I love the paranormal, I believe in ghosts as I have seen some back home and even here, but I am intrigued about the shadow people.
I came across a shadowy silhouette when working late night shifts back in Peru. I never thought about it more than just being a ghost as it was a common occurrence where I lived. Anyways, let me share my experience.
I used to work in a restaurant with a bar and used to arrive home most nights in between 1am to 2am as I was one of the bartenders. As soon as I arrived home, I would pass through the kitchen to get my dinner ready without turning any lights on. My bedroom was located on the second floor.
The stair case had the dining room on one side and the living room on the other side, with a big wide window letting moon and street lighting through. The interesting part was as I’m going up the stairs some nights, I would see the silhouette of a person standing right in the middle of the last step, all in black without features.
As a common tradition, I grew up hearing people curse at spirits to make them go away so I did, and the spirit would disappear before I got too close, I used to avoid looking straight at it as I was getting close.
This happened at least 4 times in a 3-month period. Once I was watching TV in the afternoon in my room and I remember seeing a hunched black shadow walking from my bedroom door to where my TV was (around 2 metres away) looking at me. Even knowing that it didn’t have any facial features. I cannot forget how clear it made it for me to know it was looking at me. I didn’t get scared but the “person” was at least 2 meters tall as it almost reached my ceiling and it was very intimidating.
There were four rooms upstairs, grandparents top the left, sister’s in front, bathroom to the next to my sister’s and mine to the right next to the stair’s handrail. Something interesting happened last time I saw the shadow person. As I came home late again and followed my same routine, this time I saw the shadow person standing on the handrail right next to my bedroom door.
As I was coming upstairs, I remember saying, “Oh, come on, I’m tired, just go away.” This time the shadow person vanished as usual but as I was walking towards my room, I had this sensation of walking past an actual person when nobody was there and I felt my arm touching someone. It gave me chills and goosebumps and I walked into my room extremely confused. I never saw the shadow person again afterwards.
I hope this short story is interesting for some of you. Some people report shadow people avoiding people or peek from corners and then disappear. This shadow person wanted to make sure I knew it was there every time.
Cheers!
Jamie
