As a paranormal investigator, I have seen my fair share of shadow creatures. For many paranormal investigators and ghost hunters, shadow creatures are considered demonic. With my group’s experiences, we aren’t so quick to classify every shadow creature as being of a demonic nature. Are some shadow creatures demonic? Absolutely.  However, to say they are all demonic is like saying because grass is green all things green must be grass.

Figures

Shadow figures are black masses in the shape of humanoid figures. Some of these can be thick black where no light can pass through. Some shadow figures are less dense and some light passes through. Because these shadow figures vary, they can be classified into three classes.

Class A – These are dark shadow figures. They are distinct and their humanoid shape is obvious. With these shadow figures no light passes through. Most cases of Class A shadow figures are bold and want to be seen. If they walk in front of a light source they are capable of blocking that light as they pass by. Some will rush right up on you; others will only stay in peripheral vision but are unmistakable. Some are camera shy, others want to be photographed. Kentucky Paranormal Investigations has a perfect example of a Class A shadow figure at their website. They have labeled the picture “Shadow man”.

Class B – These shadow figures allow some light to pass through. They can also cause fluctuation in light when passing in front of the light source. One theory is they don’t have enough energy to manipulate to manifest fully. This class of shadow figures aren’t always shy either. Just like Class A, they can be seen head on or in peripheral vision.

Class C – This class allows a lot of light to pass through. Generally they don’t affect a light source if they walk by it. Oftentimes they are overlooked because they blend in so well with the environment. This type also leaves you wondering if you really saw it at all. Class C shadow figures appear to be the weaker of all the classes.

Although some shadow figures could be demonic, this may not always be true. They could just be the way a trapped or lost soul may be making its presence known. Some shadow figures have bad or malicious intent; others may just be trying to make contact.

Creepers

If any shadow creature would be considered demonic in nature, it would have to be the creepers. Although the jury is still out on its demonic nature because
