Hi, I will briefly discuss the lack of depth in the article that is very much a global phenomenon. some suggested the deletion of this article with a rather immature argument, I believe this is an important article and it should be augmented with information from a global perspective. currently it this article makes you feel that shadow people happened in 2003 through a show and interactive media. it is a fact that stories and folklore of such shadow people have been available through centuries and across the world and these are not part of the western world alone.
I have seen National geographic and discovery TV programs on such topics. so i think much research is needed to be dug up and included to do justice to the subject. 39.48.123.13 ( talk) 07:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
Please help - I'm trying to add (merge) the following article into the Shadow Person page. However, some of the images don't display the captions underneath the image, but instead display the image titles. Can anyone help me merge this article into the page with the correct captions? Annerpino ( talk) 16:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
I will gladly make any further adjustments necessary to merge this explanation within this page - especially in getting the correct captions to show under each image. Another page exists on Wikipedia: 'Apparitional Experience,' but the explanation is far more relevant here, since the apparition experienced under the conditions described is dark, shadowy, and human shaped - hence a shadow person. I am not citing another source's connection between the pineal gland and shadow person sightings per se, but offer an analytical synthesis of conditions already broadly accepted and understood - i.e. the pineal gland's photoreceptive function and dreaming processes, which combine into a phenomenon otherwise feared and promoted as a paranormal entity. If the following sentence (currently included in the Explanations for Shadow Person sightings):"These hallucinations have been directly compared to the paranormal entities described in folklore." is an acceptable explanation, one may wonder what is meant by 'explanation.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annerpino ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
One 'explanation' already on the page begins: "One interviewed subject said that...etc." Another 'explanation' says: "These hallucinations have been directly compared to the paranormal entities described in folklore." Perhaps the mystery must be promoted to prevent this page's deletion. Dear NinjaRobotPirate, or anyone else, can you guide me on how to, in the absence of a lab and sleep subjects, revise this article for inclusion among these questionable offerings?

I understand about druggies thinking they see stuff moving and them being paranoid etc. and why I never paid any mind to this stuff. However, there's now video of normal people (non druggies, you know? Professionals, homeowners, cops, nurses, security guards etc. ) having captured these things on camera. It regularly makes the Travel Channel TV shows. So how do you explain these? They certainly don't look like video manipulations, particularly when they're CCTV. All these respectable professionals could be drunk up the whazoo, how do you explain that we can all see it on the video, then? It's not that there's way too many reports all over the world for it to be faked, it's that there's too many videos by now that have been authenticated as not tampered with. So nothing on wiki addressing this? Check out Paranormal Caught on Camera. It's on 3 times per week, on repeat, binge watch, "top 100" and telethons. You're likely to catch 3 of these videos at least if you watch even 1 day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.178.137.210 ( talk) 00:18, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Most of the videos shown on this TV show first appear on the internet shared by all walks of life. How isn't that a reliable source, just because someone made a show out of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:601:B7E0:D18D:7D6B:8C9A:7263 ( talk) 08:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
