I don't know, I've had a few incidences where I'm out in the desert - just me, the wind, the coyotes, and the sand. I don't know if it's my brain playing tricks on me or things moving around. But you see things that look like shadows, out the peripheral of your eye, and you hear them, and the back of your neck sticks up because you feel that hot breath; and you don't know if it's just the desert wind. And you just don't feel as alone as you did before. And then, there's that noise - that restless, shifting noise.Shadow people are such a weird case, I've seen them, especially when I was younger - but I know it's the brain playing tricks on us, I mean every single night we all go through episodes where we hallucinate and see shit through dreams, the fact that things like sleep paralysis exist too where we can be both awake and asleep at the same time is peculiar. I always explore and research these things because of how vivid it gets for me. Shadow people are so odd to me, it feels like it's the brain making up for a lack of activity since whenever I've witnessed shadow people from the corner of my eye, it's usually late at night, when most people are asleep, and I'm alone, or in an empty area like a parking lot late at night. The brain will always want to make up for lack of activity, I also go through an ordeal where late at night if it's too quiet, I'll hear distant instrumentals in my head, music or sounds that aren't there.
Maybe it's just our brains trying to fill input to make up for a lack of stimulation while trying to reason the world around us as it shuts down for sleep.
