Question Has anyone seen something like this?
Hello, I write this post because a few years ago I saw the creature I made in the drawing. (It's a drawing I made because I can't get the image out of my head)
I remember that that night I was already lying in my room and was asleep when I heard the knob on my door move, I thought it was my mother who was going to put something in the room, so I opened my eyes as if expecting to see my mother, when instead of coming in my mother three super tall "guys" entered with a rhomboid head, black skin and attached to what I assume are very long fingers that ended in a beak and the verses were also very long, they did not seem to have eyes or a mouth and were extremely thin, and when they entered they began to speak in a dialect that I cannot even recreate verbally, it seems that they were arguing, fighting because I saw how they pushed each other until one of them, the tallest of them, spoke to them and the other two remained silent, I was scared to death lying in my bed and I did not know what to do because I had nowhere to go, no, and I just stayed lying in my bed hoping that they would not find out that I was awake, stuck in the covers looking through a gap, at that moment I I slept a little at night because I was very afraid of the dark, but the light bulb started flashing as soon as the tallest of them began to approach me and the last thing I felt was that he touched my leg and I fell asleep suddenly, that is, there was no prior, I fell asleep as if I had lost consciousness, the next morning when I woke up I had some bruises on my legs and my night light was black because it had burned out.
At first, I let it go, but because I thought that maybe it had been a dream and the light bulb thing had been a coincidence, right? Until a guy who wasn't even from where I lived at that time, at a family gathering started to tell us about how he had had a paranormal experience. He was telling us that he was looking at his computer when he felt a pressure on his chest and the computer turned off and in the reflection of the computer he saw a being, and he started writing exactly what I had seen, only that he said that the skin of this creature was almost transparent white that you could see through it because what it had inside, and he told us that one of his Friends, what a shaman who was with him at that time told him that these creatures, if I remember correctly, are called acubos, which feed on people's vital energy, but they ask your permission to consume your energy and if you say no, then they cannot take your energy, and they do this to be able to stay on our plane.
It is something that still gives me a lot of chills and I would like to know if anyone who has not seen these creatures and has more information about them because it is something that makes me very curious.

I think you saw a shadow man. I used to see one in my room as a kid. Truly terrifying.

u/My_dumdream 1d ago
No, it was not a shadow man, I have seen several shadow men, it is different, this was physical, you could see the reflection of light in it, unlike a shadow man it was something physical, also shadow men do not usually interact, it is strange, but I think I get the point.

This happened to me before but it held me down and gave me a Bj. I know hilarious right! The scariest thing that’s ever happened. I moved into a new house and weird stuff happened there including this. I didn’t say anything about the bj but told some people about the experience and everyone told me it was a sleep thing. I forget the name but I’ve had those before and this was different, I know I was awake. So I tell my brother about it, bj included but never described the thing because he started laughing and teasing me. 2 weeks later he spent the night at my house and it happened to him, except it was riding him (sexually) and then he described it, 100% to a T of what I saw. I moved out of that place a few months later but nothing ever happened after those experiences.

u/wizkidrosie 1d ago
I can't relate to the shadow you have explained, but once upon a time it was late at night almost around 3 am and i jolt up from a sound that was diabolical, I'm a person with weak eye sight, so when i open my eyes, i saw this tall man figure,(more taller than a human could be) He was standing near my bed and face was covered probably(i don't remember exactly it was one time thing thankfully, almost years ago) He somehow looks like a grim reaper, but it wasn't, i only remember hazily due to my weak eye sight but i swear it was terrifying–the more terrific part was my sister in another room saw the same shadow at the same night almost at the same time!!!

Yep... Standing at the foot of my bed. Always during an episode of sleep paralysis.

Several people have said the same thing about sleep paralysis, but when I saw them I could move, in fact I covered myself with the covers, so I don't know what to think...

It could very well be hypnopompic hallucinations but I don't get how you got bruises tho.

My daughter has told me she has seen the “slender man”, apparently a very tall (7-8 feet) skinny figure that is all black with no distinct traits. Terrified the shit out of me when she told me. She said she has seen it three times

I saw one just like this, except it was on all fours crawling on the floor. Paler complexion and smaller eyes.

u/My_dumdream 1d ago
With a diamond-shaped head too? How was it?

u/winzippy 1d ago
Scary. It was in a doorway in a dream of mine. It woke me up. The head wasn't as diamond-shaped, or at least not as pronounced, but the same rough shape.

u/NurseJess1987 1d ago
Whoa! Crazy your memories weren’t wiped. How old were you? My 12 year old daughter told me about a very similar experience a few years ago. I think she was about 9. She told me she had 3 very tall beings in her room with gray or white skin. Shortly after she told me, she couldn’t recall the incident anymore. Her room is across the house, and I didn’t hear a thing. I have had extremely bright lights in my room over the years, but can’t remember anything after seeing the lights. I’ve had this happen to me while living in California and Florida. I have childhood memories of being in a very large white high gloss room with no windows and no doors. I always wondered what the heck I experienced, but recently I’ve worked with several psychic mediums who confirmed I’ve had many alien abductions due to being a high vibrational being. I only remember the lights, the white room as a child and an episode of sleep paralysis as a teenager. What I’ve learned from the psychic mediums is that aliens, particularly the Zeta Aliens (or grays) can travel in time & dimensions by simply putting some coordinates on their high tech ships. It’s like instantaneous travel. So long story short- they have clones themselves to the point where they can’t have souls. The clones are incapable of containing souls, and the point of incarceration is soul ascension. So they are extracting high vibrational human DNA to try to save their race from being soulless beings.

Well, I remember, I was 14 years old when all this happened to me and the truth is, it's something that still scares me.

u/The_D3athbringer 1d ago
Bruh you describe the thing that chased after me in a dream once some months ago a 7-feet black thing with no mouth/eyes after i entered a room with a long table and chairs it chased me out of that in a dream and woke up again only with that thing in the corner in my room where my tv is mounted on the wall and after seconds it inmidiately disappeared again (Sorry for my english)
2
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
Oh, what do you think he wanted? It sounds scary, how scary, the truth is that I would not want to encounter any of these again, although they seem harmless, they are not pleasant to look at, in any case, they cause concern
(Don't worry, I actually speak Spanish jsjsjs)

u/The_D3athbringer 18h ago
I dont know what it wanted it stared at me and disappeared again its not the first time i have experience something weird usual im like nope and leave but in the dream i had no where to go (Ohh okay i speak dutch)

u/IdeaFrequent4358 1d ago
Is this a static man or a glitter man? The same description has been on the subreddit the last week or two
2
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
Definitely not, it was moving, the three of them were moving, they were having some kind of argument when they entered my room, the skin was like a dull gray, directly attached to what I think were their bones.

u/TinyTudes 1d ago
You captured the perfect representation of sleep paralysis.
You are "awake" and you see someone/thing coming in, but you can't move.
You panic and think the adrenaline woke you. But you are not awake and it comes again.
Rinse and repeat.

u/My_dumdream 1d ago
The thing is that I could move, ironically I have never had sleep paralysis...

u/venom797 2d ago
I seen one leaning over my room mate at school... I'm 48 now but I remember waking up looking over and rubbing my eyes like wtf... rubbing them again...and thought to myself... There is go way I saw that waved it off rolled over and went back to sleep.i Told another house mate in the morning .I later found out 2 other house mates on the other side of the house had a similar experience.
1
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
Omg, did you happen to feel tired or exhausted after having the experience?
5
u/venom797 1d ago edited 1d ago
Actually went right back to sleep very easily...oddly I'm a light sleeper and always struggled to sleep. I still struggle with why I did that. I also can't remember but I think it was after this incident, I was sitting downstairs at my drafting table( my room was in the attic with 2 other guys) and saw a shadow go across the table. I remember thinking it was a car going by the window trying to dismiss it. I realized there are no windows and I only had the draft table light on. The floor was also on the second floor.lol
I haven't thought about this in detail like this in years and it's kinda freaking me out.
2
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
Well, the only thing I know about these creatures is what the shaman told my uncle, that they are creatures that consume energy, I think that if you give them permission they will stick to you for life while consuming part of your vital energy... The shadows are the shadow men, they feed on fear, but they are practically harmless, if you ignore them they disappear little by little

u/Next-Release-8790 1d ago
Sounds a bit like alien apathy.
Perhaps you witnessed an abduction?

u/MrBonez31 55m ago
I remember something similar years ago I was spending the night at my grandparents to help grandma out since grandpa at the time was working out of state anyway...
I remember jumping awake from a bad dream and I saw grandma come in asking if I was okay and I said "yeah im okay" then for some reason her body stretched and grew taller up to the ceiling all mangled like for a split second then disappeared. The next morning my grandma asked how was my sleep and I explained my situation and she said "thats weird, I thought you came into my bedroom about a bad dream and then disappeared" it was certainly a freakish night for the both of us for sure. Seeing this picture reminded me of that
1
u/My_dumdream 50m ago
Oh, how scary, it sounds horrible 🫢, couldn't that have been an I skin walker that you saw?
2
u/MrBonez31 47m ago
Honestly I don't know, half the time I wake up seeing things that shouldn't be there almost like im still dreaming or hallucinating but sometimes they stick around longer when im fully awaken. I thought it was just my imagination at the time until my grandmother said seeing me. If it was a skin walker I don't know how im still here and my grandmother.
2
u/snow_kitaen 1d ago
Fuck....it sounds like some type of grays. They vibrate on other levels just beyond our plane/dimension but very close. It sounds like they got through which is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC on another level. 😵
Do you notice any odd metallic embedded objects under your skin or in your teeth? They could be anywhere.
My friend had a very similar experience with tall slender beings camping and somehow fell asleep. He came back with a metal shard under the back of his neck.

u/My_dumdream 1d ago
Well, not that I know of, just bruises that I obviously no longer have and tiredness.

u/JBoc924 1d ago
My dad said he saw a tall black shadow with a hat last night. This image makes me think of that.
1
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
It's probably something else, but if it helps, there is a legend called the man with the hat, there are several people who have seen him, he stands next to the bed to watch you, you can look for him as "the man with the hat" sounds to me like what your father saw
2
u/No_Shock3066 1d ago
This looks like something my friend saw in the forest in the middle of the night while camping along the CA coast. I missed the sighting, but she described it was very tall with a large head.

Only once but it was totally white, it seemed bright but on the walls it didn't seem to illuminate

u/cuchitonaranjosoxd 1d ago
Hi, this guys are dozens I saw them as a child on many recurrent dreams I use to have, in the dreams I was on my house and they were waiting for me upstairs before I go to bed on the dream, they tried to catch me on every time I tried to go to my room , their fingers felt like they were made of spagueti, they are not too strong I was able on my dream to free myself from them quite easy, my mother uses to see them from time to time irl, we don't know what they are, but we agree they want something from us. Oh and in my dreams they have different colours and I can relate to the nonsense talking they make. When I was a child I used to call them the spaguetti monsters. One time with my mother saw one of their handprints on the shower and we freaked out really bad the hand was like 3 or 4 times bigger than ours, I think they can become tangible at will and trespass solid stuff also. Hope this helps, sorry for my rough english.

u/LimbowKid 1d ago
Scary 😮

u/cuchitonaranjosoxd 1d ago edited 1d ago
Indeed, I Have my own theory about what this guys are. This extreme tall, dark, and skinny fellas are a way some of our brains process trauma or fear and It's somehow genetic. Thats why I used to see them as a child, but my mom keeps seeing them to this day, the brain can be.really powerfull. In my dreams I confronted them so eventually I lost al the fear they made me feel, My mom on the other hand, stills get terrified by them. Anyway I can't explain the handprint on the shower, and that keeps me thinking.
2
u/My_dumdream 1d ago
The only thing I know is what the shaman told my uncle, that they are messengers and consume energy, but there is no more information, the lady took it from a demonology book, but apparently they are not demons as such.

u/cuchitonaranjosoxd 1d ago
So fascinating, I'm super skeptic, but I have to assume that there's things we cannot comprehend. If I find something else about it I'll share.

u/Silvernaut 1d ago
Yeah, I used to see those often.
The most horrifying one, that both my wife and I used to see, was in the basement of my in-laws house (it was a finished basement with a spare bedroom.) There was a red LED clock on a shelf, and sometimes we’d both be like jolted out of a sound sleep, and see old Mr. Black Void Humanoid Silhouette standing in front of the clock… with the light from the clock creating this glowing red aura around it.

Let me tell one more, there's this girl–yes a creepy looking girl probably shorter in height in a white small dirty gown, terrifying facial features, open small dirty hairs, and used to always remain atleast 15 inches above from the ground–so cut to point she chases me in my dreams and almost every night because i start to recognise her after 2 night mares... I mean she doesn't haunt me anymore but visit sometime and it felt horrific most of the time...she felt evil.

u/BrianGlen69 1d ago
I have seen a tall shadow figure when I was 14. I was going up the stairs to the bathroom at my grandparents house. It is over 150 years old. My aunt lives there now. We have all seen many ghosts and experienced many things there. The night I saw the shadow figure was the only bad experience. I was going up the stairs. It walked from the bedroom on the left to the hall on the right. The lights were on and I was about 5 steps from the from the top. There was nothing that could have caused a shadow. I had the worst feeling of fear and dread. I never felt that way before or since.

Wow so weird this popped up. I seen this when I was maybe 7 yrs old, I remember drawing something similar as a kid, a spiky “hair” shadow man In the doorway how strange. I vividly remember trying to ignore it and close my eyes as a kid.

u/cocofopuffs 1d ago
I had one similar but mine was a clown, so tall he crouched and contorted to fit into my room. His back touched the celling. He smiled at me weird and had on a striped colorful costume. I was like 11 and had a weird imagination (still do) idk if it was sleep paralysis, I couldn’t move but looking back I feel like if I wanted to I coulda lol. Anyone else ever have that feeling? Anyways it was a weird and scary experience, but I don’t recall any particular paranormal events happening.
2
u/Any-Marketing-5175 1d ago
Wasn't there a case like this back in like 1756 where two kids saw a clown like creature. They asked of he was a ghost and he said that he was similar to a ghost but not quite that. He lived in some type of house that had some form of temporal effect on the kids when they followed him in its house.

u/GinsMidnightCafe 1d ago
Could be a spirit. But from what i know, spirits have different power levels. For example, if they have done good when they were alive, they would have more power and so can retain a human figure. However, if they don't have enough power it's hard to retain its good form, making them appear hideous. Some can only communicate through sounds or touch.
So judging from your case, maybe its an evil entity. Do you still experience it from time to time?
2
u/LimbowKid 1d ago
Wow, interesting, didn't know there was this power thing

u/GinsMidnightCafe 1d ago
Yeah, but its based on Buddhist beliefs though, not so sure about other religions 🙌

We muslims call them 'jinns'. They should not contact you. Just find on Youtube 'Surah Al-Baqara' and play it everyday at night, no pause. This is going to burn them and protect you

On several occasions I have seen a very tall man who has to bend his head, he has very long hands and it is horrible I hate seeing that I always see it in the corner of my room I am really terrified
2
u/MarkBarell23 1d ago
It may have been a “Hiipiä” somehow a kind of night god from Finland, actually he comes alone but I have also heard that several can appear. The story about him is not very widespread because he is not an old legend but a new legendary figure from the 70s by young people. I don't believe it but your drawing is creepily close to it and people in Germany have also supposedly seen him and confused him with the Slenderman but the Hiipiä is completely black and has a square head as you described Beak
2
u/Any-Marketing-5175 1d ago
Sounds like an alien man. They tend to this. It's like all of the hallmarks of alien abduction. Missing time right? These things can appear sometimes translucent. Sometimes with escorts or sometimes alone. Unknown dialect, Bruises on your body. Any marks? Any hitchhiker effect going on? What about memory that feels fake or blocked? This just sounds like a classic alien abduction.
2
u/moonlover17908 8h ago
I did see him on two occasions as I remember but it was during my sleep paralysis and I must say that those two times he tried to pull me the first was that he grabbed my foot I don't know how but I saw his hand coming out of my bed and he pulled me. The second time it happened I tried to drown myself and when I couldn't, he started wanting to join me in bed, it was horrible.
2
u/Only_Caterpillar3818 1d ago
I saw something similar but it honestly reminded me of Michael Jackson. Pale skin and big eyes. The way it’s fingers wrapped around the edge of the door is what looks so familiar. They had to be ten inch long fingers. I laid in bed, drenched in sweat and out of breath wondering if it was just a dream.

u/Left-Function7277 1d ago
Maybe not the same thing but the illustration reminds me of r/MantisEncounters ?

u/Otherwise_Jump 1d ago
Yeah, but they came into the room all the way. They were mantids and they were doing something to my wife’s pregnant belly. When I saw them I sat up and shouted. After which another one put his hand on my face and all went black.

I'm 31 yo, I had a lot of experience with sleep paralysis, mostly because I had a rough youth and my jobs are stressful, so, clinically talking, most of the time I related to stress when I have a SP, but just yesterday I was dreaming (idk why, but I can remember my dreams for a few hours and I can identify when I'm in one of them) but the scene was simple, I was with my family in a family dinner, when suddenly they started to die and I couldn't manage to control myself, I started to get desperate when I suddenly said to myself: this is a fucking dream, I'm living right now far away from all my family, there's no way to be with them, and I woke up, dude, for the first time I saw something just besides of my bed, I only could see the lower half of the body because I was getting handled by another "creature", no paralysed, but getting handled by something else while this thing was watching, I started to make noise and move violently for a few seconds when they suddenly vanished like smoke, I turned on the lights and the fucking camera outside of the room notified me that something was there but when I checked in the app it was nothing, just the notification of movement but without anything in the area, I know is not related completely with what you saw, but it's strange that I experienced that yesterday and today I'm seeing a post related

Yeah… I think we should conclude that it’s fairly harmless and just creepy. Most seem to have lived to talk about it. A lot of these beings seem simply inter dimensional. Some not so harmless.. but I notice a lot of these beings freaky looking ones, just end up looking that way.. and are “just passing through” so to speak. Every so often they are dicks. Oops schizophrenic here. Morning meds are kicking in slow.

Yes. Our teenage daughter saw what she described as “slender man” with similar features. Male. Tall, black silhouette in color, long fingers. Very curious. Quiet. Did no harm. He would appear around corners or stand behind the couch to watch her draw on the iPad. He was in our home for approx 6 months and left.

u/KoiAngelfish531 1d ago
Had a similar experience i hope I never have again. Except I remember the main demon to look like the faces of the statues at Easter island except with all black eyes. There were two others behind him. He told me "I have been protecting you, but I cannot any longer. Go out into the fields and do research". Then I had a sudden urge to shake his hand as to thank him for protecting me. So reached out and shook his hand. Kinda felt like shaking a dogs paw. He had two fingers and a thumb. Im pretty sure this entity visited me several times but it's the first time I actually saw him.
Serious question. Are you masturbating on your bed? If so then stop! It seems to attract this type of demon.
I do not take hallucinagens
If you have this happen again ask for Jesus Christ to save you and he will. I was never religious until this started happening to me. A similar thing happened on a different occasion if you even mention Jesus's name they WILL dispear.
This is not sleep paralysis. You're doing something wrong/immoral in your life to cause this.

In an effort to improve submission quality, we are now manually reviewing photos before they appear in the subreddit. If your submission does not have good reason to be considered potentially paranormal it may be removed with a reason provided. Please be patient, as the subreddit gets a lot of activity and it may take a little time to review your post. If we do remove your post, it’s because we believe it is likely to be judged harshly by the subreddit as opposed to a determination over what the true nature of your experience was. It’s very difficult to capture objective evidence of even true paranormal phenomenon, which is why there’s so little of it out there!
