Shadow People

Shadow People are one of the most common paranormal encounters that are reported. For those that don't know, Shadow People are described as paranormal shadow-like figures that resemble humans (if you want to read up on them, go here).

I don't believe in ghosts as much as I do Shadow People, mainly because I feel like I see them more than I do entities. Ever since coming back from Alamosa, I've been seeing things out of the corner of my eye.

I work at a place called Good Earth Garden Center, and it's been around in it's current location for several years now (I'm thinking about thirty years). There is an old house in the back of the lot that we use for our break room, and the house itself is rather old. It was at the end of the day, and I was just coming back into the house to grab my purse. All the lights were off, so the only light was from the small, dusty windows that were letting in a bit of light. Right by the shelves where I had my purse is a door. It opens out (towards me), and it was open just a crack.

As I approached the door, I could see something standing right beside the door. In the little gap between the door and the jamb, it just looked like a mass standing there, blocking out the light from the other room. Thinking it was one of my coworkers, I called out a greeting as I bent down and grabbed my purse. When no one replied, I stood back up.

The mass in the door was gone.

The only direction anyone could have gone was either out into the main room where I was, or farther back into the room. Upon opening the door the rest of the way and looking around in the tiny room, it became apparent that no one else was inside.

That's not the only encounter at my work, however. There have been many instances where I can hear footsteps walking on the gravel behind me, but when I turn around, no one is there. I've seen flickers of things disappear around corners, and I've heard disembodied voices coming from empty rooms.

Who knows? Maybe there are more than just flowers at Good Earth.
