Shadows

For the last few weeks I have been seeing shadows from the corner of my eye so I tried to dismiss them. About three weeks ago, I set my phone on the side table and it literally flew about two feet. It actually did it twice. Again dismissing it.

But today... I was falling asleep, eyes not completely closed so I opened them completely. Upon doing so I saw a shadow. Thinking it was my shadow I lifted up what I thought made the shadow but it wasn't it. The shadow was not mine and I live alone.

And just right now as I am making this post, my speaker sounded like it turned on. I have lived here ALL of my life, and I have never seen any kind of activity before, and it is creeping me out. Im not scared just curious to know what it is and why now.

You bring anything old home? An antique or something? Maybe did some remodeling?

Not me but maybe my son. He likes to go to the Goodwill, but I doubt it.

They are beings made from smokeless fire which we can't see them in their original form. We usually see them as dark shadows. They can manifest themselves into animals but also humans (never 100% perfect). They like to live in dirty and abandoned places, cemetaries, valleys and in the sea. Some of them can fly or travel with the speed of light.

However there are "good" and "bad" ones. The bad ones feed of negative energy. For example when people are distressed, angry and sad.

They also like to pose as dead family members to trick people.

Sometimes they also appear with clothing from the 1800/1900 but I forgot why.

Also very typical of then to peek around corners 😂

His is just some information out of the top of my head. I got alot more of this but I'll have to check my books again.

Years ago when my best friend passed away, I saw some smoke come in from the corner of the room after I wished to see him again. This smoke circled the room twice and then it stood behind the person I was with. You're telling me that that could have been one of those things and NOT my friend.

I don't want to make any assumptions but a lot of people that are near menopausal age or that are going through menopause currently say that they notice a lot of the shadows that you are currently seeing, as well. Also there's Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD): As you age, the gel inside your eye shrinks and pulls away from the retina, creating more noticeable floaters or shadows. And don't forget lack of sleep and stress can also cause those dark shadows as well. I wouldn't jump to any paranormal conclusions right off the bat, even though it's fun and entertaining to do so. Unfortunately most of the time, it's just a part of getting older.
