Description
"Dormant in the corner of your eyes... always there always hidden to your sight!"This is a drawing I made for my illustrated music book "The Underliving" ([link] You can actually listen part of the song too which is called The Underliving in that link. I suffer from sleep paralysis so sometimes I've sensed dark things, also curious about your own stories about your sleep paralysis night horror experiences and "the shadow people" in particular.
If you're curious about my music you're welcome to check

These... Shadows, as I call them, are following me. I have seen four of them the last year, and when they are around me, I am accompanied by a feeling of safety. My shadows are not interested in harming me, nor are they interested in scaring me. I think they are natural, maybe even friendly beings, at least the ones around me.
My first sighting was when I was writing one of my books. It was in the winter, when I saw a face outside the window. It was not like a human face, it had no eyes, nose or mouth, just the shape of a head. When I looked at it, it ducked. I saw the movement. It did not just disappear, it ducked.
At the second one, it was night. I was sitting on a snowy hill, just thinking. And when I turned around, I saw a pair of legs. Unlike the head, they just disappeared.
The third sighting was once again at night. I was sitting in my bed, reading, when I saw something, or someone, sneak on the road outside the window. It was just a silhouette, once more. It could have been anyone, but few people are that tall, few people sneak like that and no one would wear not clothes outside.
I do not "feel" anything, but they are there. I swear, they are just there, and they are not there to harm me. Maybe they are curious about a girl at my age, believing in such creatures, entities and beings as themselves. Maybe they are looking for contact. Maybe they there to protect me. Some days, I also see something in the corner of my room. I am not worried, in case I have a monster looking at me at night. I am not afraid.

It's curious how many different people see the "shadow people", even with similar traits or characteristics, I wonder about the physiological triggers in our brains for all of us to have similar experiences (on a scientific level)

Maybe because its not hallucination triggered by so called "sleep paralisys" but actual creatures that lurks somewhere between human world and shadow relm feeding on our emotion?Sciantist don't have clue what it is actualy so they had to come up with some kind explanation.From my personal expierence i know i wasnt sleeping or hallucinationating since i could freely walk in my room touch and feel things stuff that you cant do in your dreams.

I get sleep paralysis. But I've never sensed anything in the room with me. For me it's just really dull and frustrating. It scared the hell out of me the first couple of times, and I still hate it, but I usually just tell myself eventually I'll be able to move and kind of wait it out. Sometimes I "get up" several times before I realize I'm still stuck in my body and have only "gotten up" in a dream. I can also move "dream" limbs and see the room through "dream" eyes, but it's not the real room and not my real limbs. Those just lay like so much dead weight in the bed while I move the false limbs and keep trying to crawl out of my own body.
I do hallucinate though, while falling asleep and waking up. I saw a woman at the foot of my bed once, as clear as day. Of course, it wasn't day, and I shouldn't have been able to see her so well. What's strange is I believed she was a specific person--but then she was gone. I also remember while falling asleep once, seeing an eye, like a serpent's eye, staring out at me from an alien visage. And it was looking -at- me, with consciousness and awareness. Usually my dreams feel "empty," because they are just me. But it seems to me it's hard for your brain to manufacture the feeling of an "other." Whenever I get that sense, it's hard for me to believe that what I am seeing isn't there.
When I lived in Yellowstone National Park, I remember seeing a lot of shadowy apparitions while I was driving. I haven't seen anything like that anywhere else. I always got the feeling that they--those shadow creatures--don't really look like shadows--it's just that they aren't really "here." They're somewhere else, maybe just a dimension away. Like trying to read words on a page through another thinner page on top that obscures what they say. Your painting reminds me of those apparitions.

thank you for sharing your experience, I have a whole album of music inspired in "the beings that we see with the corner of our eyes" I called them "the underliving" for the purpose of the music album. Also in my first album there are references to sleep paralysis in "Nightmare" and "facing the dream" among others. I used to have sp to a point that sleeping was almost umbereable, every single night, till mid twenties, it's more tamed now.

How did you overcome your sleep paralysis? Or was it luck that it improved? "Nightmare" always reminds me of the panic attacks I have, and the internal war to hold onto some semblance of clarity or sanity. Having a panic attack feels a lot like dreaming while awake.

It got softened naturally by age, still have it though, so not really have got over it, but it is not so wild as when I was younger, this happens naturally to most of us. A bad sleep timeframe schedule and stress trigger it, so if you are prompt to have it, and you mess your sleeping times it can happen often, specially if in time of stress (tests, exams, work stress) it happens on the verge of awakening-falling sleep or viceversa, so if you are in the border too long or too often and you tend to have it there it might occur.
I have natural lucid dreaming (non intended too) and sometimes when finishing the lucid dreaming I have sleep paralysis.
Yes it feel very much real, and not meaning the lucid dream I mean the sleep paralysis as real as real can be, and that's why it's scary and leave such an imprint in our brains.

Usually I get it either if I mess up my sleep schedule (take a nap in the afternoon, then go back to sleep later), or if I am in a hurry to wake up (like from a nightmare), and force my brain awake before my body is able to catch up. Then I get stuck in between. I think it's the feeling of helplessness that scares me the most about it--feeling like no amount of desire or will to move will help me, and then my body feels like a prison.

Mirtschi as the song says they-re not meant to be fully seen either maybe with the corner of your eye
I take the longest to plot the pencil sketch, cos I make several and sometimes I make the final composition using different sketches that I scan, then painting I confess I was slow but because I was making too many drawings at the same time at that moment.

Cool picture, Pris! Eerily intriguing! 
As a young child I was always afraid to one day see such creatures "in real" in my bedroom, but luckily I was never faced with them in reality
Cheers and hopefully see you soon ^-^

No I can sleep, though I sleep really bad
This is sleep paralysis, many people has had episodes during stress, I just have it more often than others, which is sometimes scary.
