From the popular paranormal radio show Coast to Coast AM, Art Bell, launched the term "Shadow People" into our lexicon. A traditional definition of a Shadow Person would be an entity that has the form of a man, yet seems to absorb light, rather than reflect it, sometimes having white or red eyes or none visible at all. Shadow People has become a bit of a catch-all term, often used to describe things such as the Old Hag, Hatman, Slender Man, Incubus, and Succubus.
I myself have also encountered something that could be described as a Shadow Person, in the form of the Grim Reaper. While some people have tried to cast the Shadow People off as an artifact of things like sleep paralysis or simple visual hallucinations, I think it might be a sign of something else, perhaps an actual entity, or a collection of similar things. So I launched this poll and post for people to discuss this matter.
Have you ever seen something similar to Shadow People?
Do you think these are demonic entities? Or something else?
Here are a few videos discussing this phenomenon.

Old Hag
Succubus
Thank AI for drawing these pictures for me btw.
