Introduction.

The shadow people  are one of those subjects that get attention now and then. Speculation of what the shadow people really are, and where they come from, is the subject of a few books and videos.

What I would like to do here is put forward a theory based on my own investigations, sightings and children who can see the shadow people and other non-human shadow beings. There is a technique of teaching our eyes to see the shadow people. I will also put forward the suggestion that we don't need clairvoyance, either. We can also touch on the subject of dicyanin glasses. The lenses of which were developed in the late nineteenth century for investigation into techniques of medical diagnosis.  I happen to own a rather expensive pair of goggles that use the dicyanin dye in the lenses.

Of late, the shadow people have become a subject where I live. Kids are seeing shadow people big and small, and the adults don't know what is going on with their children. Three kids so far have come to my attention over the last few months. 

The problem as I see it is when adults panic, kids get scared. There is also a common association with the night terrors and children who are scared of the dark. Those kids who insist that there has to be a light on, no matter what.

In a way I am lucky research wise, because I have a young lady who visits here and who has always been able to see the shadow Beings. She grew up thinking it was normal, and naturally assumed everyone can see them. She calls them corner peakers. My own name for them is mimics.

The term corner peakers comes from her seeing small humanoid beings peaking around the corners of doors, much as a child would do to eavesdrop on parents. Mimics is my term derived from a habit of the shadow people where they mimic human behaviour. One can easily guess from whom the corner peakers  learned the habit of peaking around corners.

I have had my own encounters with the shadow people. That is in addition to seeing them as most people do, and that is as fleeting shadows in the peripheral vision. They usually disappear when one looks straight at them. The question here is; Do they really disappear when looked at, or is it something else?

Simply put; lots of kids can see them naturally, and so can adults. I am of the opinion there is a down to earth explanation that can be explained with some basic physiological understanding of how the human eye works.

I am of the opinion that seeing the shadow people and other shadow Beings is all to do with night vision and the rods and cones of the eye.

I shall put together more posts shortly and post them here. This is quite the subject, and too big for just one opening post to do it justice. After all, we have plenty of time.

I love this subject! However, I don't believe in the 'paranprmal'. I think everybody possesses these abilities without being aware or knowing how to use them.

Early this morning (at 3 AM) I was sitting at the table with my granddaughter and we were talking about a white Persian cat I owned when she was a baby.  Just then my (mostly white) cat raced past us into the living room and we bothed laughed at how fast he was going...until my cat came sauntering in from the same direction the 'first' cat had come from. 

There's no way he could possibly have backtracked without us seeing him, or in such a short time span. Cat one to cat two was a matter of maybe 5 seconds.

I don't know what we saw, how we saw it or what it means, but we might just sleep with the light on for awhile. 

@Nugget,

I couldn't agree more. As you look at the evolution of language and the written word, you can see how both grew and flourished.

Many say that is a sign of our evolving and getting better as a species.

I say it is a sign of our devolving.

Once, we could communicate with one another with these so called paranormal abilities. But then when man fell in the garden, I believe we started to lose those abilities. We created the spoken and written word to make up for these loses.

And I do not believe the crap lifestyles most people live, will help the majority of people use what remains buried in us.

I think most people could train themselves in some aspect of the overall paranormal/psychic phenomenon, though experience tells me there's a range of how much latent talent a person might have and there are aptitudes too. Some things might come easy for one, but not for another. Some people have experiences without any sort of prep or training, often when they're quite young, which can make developing the skills easier for them. It can also mess them up, particularly if they're frightening experiences. Belief is very powerful, which means disbelief is too in its own way. We are culturally condition to disbelieve. Even those that grow up in devout religious families are most often conditioned to wall off those experiences and attribute them to demonic influence.

People that live with these experiences as part of their day to day life have interesting stories on the odd chance you find one that likes to share.

I don't wish to digress too much though. I'm glad we have a paranormal section now.

I would argue that in being adept at deciphering the tangle of political and societal forces at work, it is of great benefit to understand the occult. Not so much the symbols, but the mechanics of Machiavellian hidden influences. I know a lot of people spend a great deal of time on the symbolism and recognizing it, but symbolism exists mostly as decorative signposts. They are motifs, not a roadmap.

Here is a thread I created on ATS back in 2016 that you may have an interest in.

"From Out of the Corner of Your Eye"

Quote:Many people who have experienced a paranormal occurrence have reported seeing ghostly things from out of the corner of their eyes. People will catch fleeting glimpses of things moving in their peripheral vision only to have them disappear when viewed directly. These "corner of the eye" type of visions are most often the case under lighted conditions, however, such stories claim that at night, inside of a darkened room, illuminated specters and darkened shades become directly visible.

Some might say that such is the flight of fancy of our minds when faced with the diminished information obtained from the extreme limits of our vision. Others, like myself, would entertain the idea that perhaps the human eye has the ability to sense things outside of the range of what is considered normal vision. There is a whole universe of things we can't see directly, but perhaps under the right conditions we can see the unseen.

"From Out of the Corner of Your Eye" -- yep, that is exactly it, and what I want to explore here in the next few days. That is the peripheral vision and the rod cells of the eyes as the physiological receptors.

Your ATS thread opening post explains the rods and cones, an is a part of what I wanted to write about here. Would you like to post your opening ATS post here? I was going to cover that next, and you have done a good job.

Yep, I think so too, and that is the purpose of this thread, to explore that very statement

We have that too, people seeing glimpses of cats and a black dog, I've seen them too. When you listen to the descriptions, one finds that it matches one of the passed away pets. I guess they still call the house home. The big black 'shadow' dog, is our black German Shepherd who passed away probably five years ago now.

Good thread and some interesting commenters. When I find a particularly insightful post I like to mine their profile to find more insightful posts they've made.

Carlos Castaneda's method, or his shaman Don Juan's, for seeing energy involved open eye meditation in total darkness along with some physical ritual. I recall the physical stuff as being similar to some of what the Taoists do. There may be some similarities with Hindu ritual, but I'm not versed enough in that to know.

I've used low light conditions and Ganzfeld fields in training certain mental disciplines.

The cat my granddaughter and I saw the other night made us think of my white Persain. When he passed away my gr,daughter was not quite two and I had picked her up in another town for a weekend visit.
I didn't tell her there would be no kitty at the house, but as we passed by where I had placed a statue atop Schplatt's grave she said 'Aw...kitty's sleeping".

The kid gets it.
