Dive deep into the eerie world of Shadow People - those pitch-black, humanoid figures that thousands swear they’ve glimpsed watching from doorways, hovering over beds, or vanishing the moment you look directly at them. This episode uncovers real eyewitness accounts, ancient folklore roots from Djinn to the sinister Hat Man, chilling group sightings in broad daylight, and the clash of theories: inter-dimensional travellers, astral projections, or neurological glitches born of sleep paralysis and exhausted minds. If you’ve ever felt an unseen presence lurking in your peripheral vision, this one will make you question what’s really hiding in the dark.
