I was talking to my girlfriend about how some people have a shadow person/dark figure and was wondering if Lemmiters would like to share their story so she, and others, get to know about them.
I guess potential trigger warnings.
Also, not sure if it’s ok to ask about shadow persons… leave it to the mods to mod
Love how OP thinks whatever this is is just normal common knowledge and the rest of us are like…erm…
what in the world is a shadow person?
This is a bit confusing. I’m not sure if the shadow you mean is a dark side of our own personalities or if you mean something like an apparition or hallucination. As for the second type, I didn’t know people could actually establish a “relationship” with these, all stories I heard (and experienced) are about a shadow figure that appears and then it’s gone. I’ve never met someone referring to one of these as a normally reoccurring thing. I’ve seen shadow imps when sleep deprived if that counts?
The story is A Wizard of Earthsea (1968, Ursula K. Le Guin), I read it when I was very young, and shadow person is the plot.
