Black figure in my room!?

It's just the Grim Reaper.

Your experience is far more common than you realize. It's a haunting and is very real. If you truly want to know what to do, you need to focus on the Divine, put up some holy pictures in your room. Many many people in the world have forgotten about spirit, and they live their lives basically for sex pleasure. Yeah, sex pleasure is fine, but I'm talking about people who know nothing but sex and food. They're animals, and they've created a dark culture that is something closer to animalistic than human. When millions and billions are living this way, it creates frequencies or "vibrations" that attract much darkness. That is why there's so much of this happening nowadays. So go and find God. Read the books of Paramahansa Yogananda. Read His first book, "Autobiography Of A Yogi" ... you can get a good used paperback copy at Amazon.com ...

You saw a shadow person. I saw one once, and yes, I wasn't sleeping. It was more than just a shadow, I could see it's hands, the rest of him was covered in a black cloak with a hood, couldn't see a face. But he stood there looking down at me and then, deciding not to show it any fear I commenced to speak to it, but as soon as I tried to, it broke up into little clouds that slowly went out through the wall. I stared for a bit, quite stunned that this thing went out in little smoky clouds that drifted out slowly. I got out of bed and just paced the floor for a while, scared to death, but I never saw the thing again. My guess is that they are entities which feed off the negative energy of people, and they are trying to scare us or perhaps to warn us of something, depending on just how evil they are. Say your prayers and try to be a decent person. There may be something you are doing that is attracting this thing. Something you should not be doing.

I have had similar experiences. What you see is likely a Guardian but probably not an Angel. We all have Guardians sometimes they can be Angels, Ancestors or deceased family members. If you have seen your guardian He/She is likely trying to warn you of a coming event. I know many on here will say it's your imagination but I have quite some experience with spirits and I can honestly say even if you cannot see something with your physical eyesight does not mean something does not exist. Regarding this spirit I have no doubt it was a guardian perhaps an earthbound one, It clearly was guarding you as is it's duty and when it realized it frightened you it vanished.

How clearly did you see this figure? I have to say I find it odd that you saw a shadowy black figure in your room TWICE and thought little of it. I'd still be running if that was me.

Yesterday upon the stair

I saw a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today.

Oh, how I wish he'd go away!

Better pray to the One True God, Nicolas Cage.

Shadow people or possible hallucination, perhaps of the hypnagogic variety?

This is God's way of saying to you we need to talk
