Shadowmen Options

I wanted to put this in one of the entity forums but there didn't really seem to be any appropriate headings. I'm trying to find information on shadowmen, or shadow people. I've heard a plethora of different information from different sources and I'm not exactly sure what fits together and what doesn't. Some say that they feed off of fear, some say any kind of negative energy, and some say any energy at all, good or bad. No one seems to have a very clear idea where they came from; there are beliefs that they are kind of crossover spirits from another plane that show up as shadows, there are beliefs that they are somewhat egregorical and have been constructed from leftover fear and dark energy, and some sources say they were human in origin who's spirits have been altered into freaky life-sucky things. There also don't seem to be any references on how to banish them or protect from them apart from typical long ceremonial banishings, which you can't really do if you're walking down the street. Anyways, any information there might be floating around on shadowmen would be much appreciated. Thanks:)

The reason there are so many conflicting ideas about these shadow people is because there is no science to make anything we think about them to be factual. IN other words what I believe is no more less valid than what you might believe. I will say that I do believe that something like shadow people do exist. I believe that because I've drempt about shadow people. Sometimes with red glowing eyes. Twice in my life I have also encountered what I would deem a "shadow person". Perhaps some sort of ghost or entity living on an alternate plain. While I have never been harmed in any encounter they always seemed to inspire a sense of fear by their presance. But weather or not these entities are evil or I just have that reaction to them because I don't understand them I do not know.

I speculate about the existance of such entities because we judge everything we know based on our senses and the science we can apply yet we just don't know what reality lies beyond that. It frustrates me too that most people seem willing to believe that there is nothing beyond what we can normally sense or put under a microscope. I think we, as the almighty human species, really only percieve a small part of the true greater whole of reality. And it makes sense that we would too. We only need so much for survival and evolution has given us what we need. The same is true for all other creatures. For example animals that live in the deepest parts of the oceans have evolved to produce their own light and live in extreme conditions. I'd bet if we evolved in similar conditions we'd percieve only that part of existance and nothing beyond it.
