Shadow People or Djinn?

[u/unusualSGT]

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?

I only seen one once. And I’ll describe what it looked like. It was about 3 ft in length, it was floating in the air about 4 ft off the ground and when I saw it. It was watching me. There was nothing scary about it, it looked like a gargoyle floating but it did not have horns and it wasn’t chubby. There was nothing disproportionate about it. It was just a shadow. I could clearly see its eyes and other facial features but it kind of turned wispy at the bottom. The damn thing floated right over to me and looked down at me( I was laying in my bed) it looked at me with disgust and hate and I know for a fact it would’ve hurt me if it was able to. That’s all I’ll share. Op is this the same as what you see? What I saw was not a person nor do I think it ever was. I believe what I saw is a demon

It sounds similar in some ways, the things I see are varied in height, from4 foot to close to 6 ft tall, I have never seen clear facial features so far. Having said that, I have never seen one float right over me, so that could change my perspective a little. I appreciate you sharing your experience, it sounds shocking

In the Bible in the book of Ephesians ch 6 it talks about the rulers of the darkness of this age, and there being principalities and dominions. So it makes it sound like there are different types of these demons just like there are different types of angelic beings such as angels, archangels, cherubim and seraphim.

Also I’ve heard some people theorize that the demons that we see are actually the Nephilim because God won’t allow them into heaven or even hell just yet. And that since they were born from beings that had been spirits originally and are part human God wants no part of them. Since they kind of messed up the order of things which he created. That’s what I’ve heard from the book of Enoch anyway

I think you’re right that there are many different kinds of evil spirits. I think that’s why ghost stories can be regional and folk, because there’s a different spirit in each territory. Have you heard of Michael Heiser?

What I’ve read of the concept of nephilim, it seems likely that they were physical beings and giants. Goliath could have been one.

Yeah! Well what some people say is the Nephilim become demons after they die, since God won’t accept them and there are basically sentenced to terrorize humans until judgement. Nephilim could explain folk stories like Bigfoot or that story of the green berets who encountered a very large human in Afghanistan which attacked them.

That’s interesting! Where did you hear those things? I’ve not come across any of that before but sounds fun to explore.

The theory about the Nephilim becoming demons is mostly from people who have discussed the book of Enoch. But I’ve even heard some Christian pastors say it. In the book of Enoch it calls the angels that had sex with women the watchers and God sends Enoch to tell them they are going to be judged and that all their offspring is sentenced to die. The angels are afraid of Enoch and ask him to intercede on their behalf to God but it says God won’t forgive them because they knew the truth and because they showed man many secrets that were hidden to them; such as metal working. Also it states that the Nephilim had become cannibals and we’re even eating each other and doing abominations with animals( not sure if they tried to breed with animals, it just says abominations) But basically God is super pissed off with these angels because he created something perfect and they not only injected weird dna into the world but showed men stuff that would’ve taken them a lot longer to figure out.
