		<description>Same here, I had the same experience . But this time he reaveled himself after years of  posing as a black figure. It usually shows up when my room gets cold. The son of a bitch is a coward. I mocked him with laughter and said ..&quot;Are u you gonna un- paralyse me or what? Stop wasting my time. Something was chocking me and being paralyse didn&#039;t help either. Right before accepting defeat I said &quot;well jesus this is how it all ends&quot;. I immediately  woke up after saying the lords name. which was surprising?!? I wanted to see it again and I did. The room was cold and my tv was on , their he was sitting on my bed watching watching the television. This time in a dark black form and again I was paralyse. It jumped on top of me and was swinging. I was laughing because I didn&#039;t feel anything . So I tried shouting but couldnt. So  I thought it in my head and &quot;What a fucking pussy!...Hit me like a man!!! ...then I woke up. I want to see it again .</description>

		<description>Jordan do you think he did that? 

I have to say with great relief that i haven&#039;t seen him anymore. I dont think my sister has either. It all seems so unreal now that it happened. I want to believe that all of this can be explained with a simple scientific explanation like sleep paralysis or some sort of mental disease even drugs but I have never done any, nor have been suggested that I might have a mental problem. The strangest thing to me is that everyone sees the same thing. I would think that I dreamt about it because I heard other people talk about it but I never knew about him until I dreamt about him and researched him years later. It first  happened almost 6 years ago when I was 13 and now I&#039;m 19. I&#039;m still infatuated with this and I wish I could let go because I kno I&#039;ll never find an explanation.</description>

		<description>Helena and Zachary,

I hope you&#039;re still checking this. Because I&#039;ve been having similar dreams. But, only since I moved to a knew house. The man is like black billowing smoke, but darker than black somehow. The dreams seem like a warning. In the last one the world was being destroyed by tornadoes of some sort. And I was in an old house, very tall, lots of rooms. Everyone in the house originally came to the house wanting something materialistic. But the dark man warned me the house wasn&#039;t real. The only thing real in the house were the people. And the only way to survive the storm was to understand the house wasn&#039;t real and live right. Staying attached to the house meant certain death in the storm that was coming. And he said the storm was coming soon.

Very strange. Certainly not the only dream with the man, but your dreams sound very familiar and struck a chord. I&#039;m 30 now, but was 28 in 2009. 

Again, I hope you&#039;re still looking at this comment section. These dreams have become more frequent and are very very vivid.</description>

		<description>Hello Jordan. 
Im interested in your experience. Ive had a somewhat similar experience to yours and so has my younger sister. We have both dreamed about these floating platforms in the air really and they lead to a church maybe? when my sister dreamt of it she said she climbed the platforms and that it was a church but i did not climb them. i was in awe of the platforms myself and i could not control myself in my dreams. i just looked at them. maybe it means something. we have both seen the dark hat man before.</description>

		<description>i believe there are entities other than ghosts and spirits and the like. i think they are something that we have no knowledge of and it seems that&#039;s the way they want it. i think they are watchers of some sort. all the people here who have seen them have some sort of connection to their realm. i don&#039;t think most of them mean harm. i myself have seen a shadow man but he wasn&#039;t in the type of clothing described here. he was just the black outlined of a regular man. i could see no features either..</description>

		<description>At about the age of 5 I started believing our house was haunted. I would hear sounds and see shadows. My parents pretty much thought I was crazy. All I know is that I spent about every night terrified to the point my 3 older sisters would take turns trying to calm me down. About 20 years later one of my sisters finally told me that one night she saw someone laying in bed with me, and she never went back in to my room. It got so bad my parents took me to a psychiatrists. I never saw any figures, just shadows. Then, at the age 10, we moved to another town. There, I started to have this reoccurring dream of a man like the one being discussed here. I would have the dream a couple of times a week, and it was pretty uneventful. My dream was me being trapped in my house because this man was constantly circling our house. He had a face. He looked like he was in his 60s. He was tall and skinny. I always called him &quot;The Magician&quot;. He wore a black suit with a long black coat. He wore a top hat (as a kid that&#039;s why I called him a magician). I do remember him having skinny, bad teeth, but I don&#039;t remember his eyes. In my dream, he encircled my house so much that he wore a dirt path in the grass. I never could tell if he was trying to get in, or if he was waiting on someone to come out. He could&#039;ve been trying to keep me safe inside. All I know is 25 years later it still gives me goose bumps when I think about him. We lived in that house for four years. After we moved, I never had that dream again. Nor, have I since thought I have been visited by any other spirits or ghosts. Sorry about no paragraps, but I did this from my phone, and it won&#039;t let me go back up to edit.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At about the age of 5 I started believing our house was haunted. I would hear sounds and see shadows. My parents pretty much thought I was crazy. All I know is that I spent about every night terrified to the point my 3 older sisters would take turns trying to calm me down. About 20 years later one of my sisters finally told me that one night she saw someone laying in bed with me, and she never went back in to my room. It got so bad my parents took me to a psychiatrists. I never saw any figures, just shadows. Then, at the age 10, we moved to another town.

		<description>When I was in high school, I used to have this reoccurring dream about a thing I called the Dark Man. The basic plot was always the same. I would dream that I would suddenly wake up in my bed in the middle of the night &amp; know that I had to go to the back door because someone was there. I always knew it would be him, the Dark Man, &amp; when I had walked all the way down the hall to the back door, I would pause. I could see the shape of him through the curtain on the back door, shifting his weight, as if he had been waiting a while. I feel compelled to walk to the back door, in fact, I can&#039;t stop myself. I draw back the curtain, but what I see only confuses me more. The &quot;man&quot; standing there, has no apparent physical substance, like he is his shadow. no features define him excepting that he is rather tall, wearing a full length trench type coat, &amp; a hat that looks to me, like a fedora. Now, depending on the dream, he recognizes my presence, &amp; will either gesture, bow slightly, or tip his hat to me. Then, once again depending on the dream, I will either stand there, both confused &amp; frightened.. or start thinking that I will open the back door. I have always woken up before anything more could happen, &amp; I am grateful for it. I haven&#039;t had the dream in about four years, but it still makes me feel jumpy. I am surprised &amp; interested to know that others have shared my unusual experience. Even though I say it was a dream, I sometimes can&#039;t help but wonder if it wasn&#039;t, because of the impact the dream had on me. It was enough to ask the protection of God &amp; occasionally, St. Michael. I have not had the dream, or been threatened by the image since.</description>

		<description>well,these storys have all really scetched me out as i thought i was the only person to ever to see this shadow man.

as most have said the same thing as i have experienced in different ways it is only fair i give you my account into this figure.

when i was younger ,about 9-10,i had a recurring dream of being sat up in bed ,looking out my bedroom door onto the stairs where a man(  cloak and wearing a top hat but him being so dark ,you could not see his face or his appearance almost a shadow but too dark to be such)would walk into my room ,up to the side of my bed and stare at me,but even though i could not see him or his eyes looking at me ,i knew he was staring at me.he would not speak and would just stand there.i could  not move in these dreams ,almost paralysed.i spoke to my friends about this dream  earlier and they told me to look on the internet to find more details on this recurring dreams to find many others to experience this figure making similar experiences . i dont wish to scare others as this dream effected me for a long time but there must be more to this man than is known as he targets younger people and seems to be more of a presence than a thought of imagination.he is no devil and no evil as many may say because i have never seen red eyes or herd of him bringing harm to dreamers but this dream is not normal and i would love to know more about this ghostly figure .</description>

		<description>&quot;Satan can only touch sinners&quot;
I guess if that&#039;s the case then the story of JOB was a lie because I could have sworn that story was supposed to be about a righteous man.</description>

		<description>Again, I HAVE seen  a  black figure but no red eyes and he is NOT the devil.  I have met enough evil HUMANS to know evil by now. Satan doesn&#039;t need to take the shape of a shadow to possess people. ministers don&#039;t know what this thing is and like you would probably say it&#039;s evil which it is not. Red was one of the colors of the veil for the temple. Albinos have red eyes! Why does everything with red eyes have to be evil? If Satan was after the souls of people who have seen this there are far more effective ways to scare and control us. If you are so interested in the Bible then you should know that Satan usually takes the form of whatever is MOST appealing. If he was after us it would be through taking an attractive form or just in our mind through our own insecurities and fears. If someone hasn&#039;t seen this thing then don&#039;t comment on something you have not seen or met. There may be evil ones just like there are good and evil people. But what I&#039;ve seen has been good and protective. If it prefers females perhaps it is only because women seem to be more spiritually conscious. Jeez. THis Devil talk has really got to stop.</description>

		<description>if your having the same dream about a dark figure with red eyes you need to talk to a pastor or minster. this could be a form of demon possession or you could have something really great for your life. &amp; the devil loves to hinder anyone who&#039;s about to change the world. i mean look at the whole world its in a mess and people who were once good become bad. we dont know exactly what this is because it could be because you have watched a movie. i dont care what other people think about this comment but i really truly believe that this is serious.</description>

		<description>I guess the message they emailed me about was deleted. Did anyone else get a message on here about this being coming from the devil who was sent here because God gave the Devil dominion? I guess maybe it got deleted because it basically called all of us evil. For future individuals that feel this way, I want to point out that I&#039;ve never killed anyone, I don&#039;t sleep around, I rarely lie and if I do it is always a small one, I&#039;m nice to my fellow man, and I am charitable, I believe in God, I&#039;ve been baptised. So what great evil have I committed? If this is from Satan why aren&#039;t every pedophile, child abuser, and murderer seeing this thing too? It seems drawn to kids. Kids haven&#039;t generally been alive long enough to do anything evil and their souls are supposed to be pure until 8. There is something, I think, to the fact that we&#039;re all kids usually when we start seeing it. It fits the Italian and Germanic tale of the boogeyman so apparently this is something that has gone on for hundreds of years. There is a board about it on Indigo World. I don&#039;t  think the devil has anything to do with what I&#039;ve seen, I believe it comes more from God than anything!</description>
