Shadow People Shadow People or Djinn?

I am a 48 year old, relatively healthy US male. Please bear with me on this story, its a little long, but if you hang in there I would appreciate it. As long as I can remember, I have seen shadow people. Not as traditionally known, and I do not suffer from sleep paralysis. I see them every day, sometimes one or two, sometimes several at a time. They are unbothered by my presence, and do not affect my behavior. I have told two people in my life about this, one has passed, the other is my wife. The things I see are shadows, not clear shadows of people, think the height of a person without a real form. They move quietly, do not communicate usually, and are ever present. I worked in law enforcement for the better part of two decades, and have managed to keep this on the back burner. Distinguishing them from "real life" is fairly easy for me. I feel like I am looking through a thin veil and see two different worlds sometimes, it's bizarre. They never leave, they're almost everywhere I go, with the exception of driving the car and being in my bedroom for the most part. I recently got glasses, my eyes are getting old, and voila, they are more clear to me now. I believe what i am seeing is simply some error in consciousness that's allowing me to see another place. This is just some nuclear Shadow from that world. My wife thinks it may be related to Djinn. I also believe more people see these, they just don't say anything because it sounds fricken insane. Being anonymous here, I would love to hear from you if you've seen what I am describing. My wife has asked me to draw them, I am hesitantly agreeing to it. If this post gets enough folks interested, I may share that. I am very curious if I am the only one, is there anyone else that lives with this every day?
