My ten year old often sees these "body doubles". He has always seen weird apparitions and shadow men since he was five if I can remember far back enough. I have always believed him when he has confided in me about the things he sees and hears because of the fear, confusion and stress written all over his face each time he tells me. I more so than ever believe him because of the times I have witnessed him react in the exact moments these events would occur. I have seen him drop everything (literally) run, scream and hide behind myself and family members; trembling in a state of shock and panic.
But the most tangible evidence that brought me down to realization of my son being more sensitive or gifted other than mentally ill or having a bad dream/imagination, is the images in my mom's digital camera we captured while living with her at a certain time in our past. My son has always described thoroughly and vividly about these entities-- so well detailed, to the point that seeing these images in the camera went beyond a doubt proving his claims truthful. Everything he would tell me about these apparitions, descriptions and places he seen them in were as if he painted these pictures himself. He told me about a little shadow boy in our hallway and garage (which led to the garage door from inside the house) and three white bubbles that floated over my head in the kitchen when I would cook. He explained how the little boy would peek from dark corners of the hallways and open cracked doors of the bedroom or garage (both doors across from each other). He said the boy would never say or do anything, just stare and look lonely and scared. I asked him how his face looked and he said "like a super dark shadow with no eyes or ears or mouth or anything just blacked out". I asked him how he could tell the boy's emotions and how he knew he was staring at him if he had no facial features and he said he couldn't explain how and that he just knew the boy was lonely and always watched him.
About the orbs. When he saw the orbs, he calmly came into the kitchen and looked above me as if he was watching smoke go up and then shortly after said, "Mom what are those bubbles above your head?" When I looked up there was nothing there and I asked him what he was talking about. He pointed and pointed and kept saying, "Right there mom, you don't see them? Oh my goodness, how could you not see the bubbles, Mom? There right there. They're white and they're still there." I asked him how big were they and he said like baseballs. I immediately knew he seeing orbs.
Another time he saw the boy, he grabbed me as I was walking past the hallway and said in a quiet and excited voice, "Mom! Mom look! The little boy is right there." He pointed back at the garage door down the dark hallway dimly lit with the shadow of the afternoon sun flowing through the house. I peered at the slightly opened garage door that someone did not completely shut and saw nothing, but the pool table and couch in the distance of the garage. I told him nothing was there and he was seeing things and he became slightly irritated and replied, "He was just there, you didn't look where I told you to look. He was right there wearing a white shirt like mine." Well, moments like that occurred more than frequently and began to concern me more than usual.
Long story short, after going through photos in my mom's digital camera one day, I noticed a few pictures that definitely got my attention. In the first photo I noticed, I saw a small shadow figure about my son's height (6 years old at the time) standing in the hallway against the wall as if peeking into the living room area where we were capturing images of the family opening presents, I believe. Another image showed him peeking closer and as a clear as day, he had a solid bright white shirt on. I zoomed in on his face so much that the whole screen was practically black. Deep, darker than black, jet black, black. I zoomed in and out and back again at different angles and pixel sizes and nothing changed or explained the image otherwise. It had an almost oversized, oval-like tear drop head and a slim little neck with what seemed to be his arms pinned to his side. Another photo before the apparitions of the boy were discovered, were of a ocean deep black blob of what looked to be spilled paint or ink over the center of the hallway bathroom door. The next picture behind it was of the same blob but a bit different in shape and higher up at the top of the bathroom door. This was the same bathroom I fainted in one morning out of nowhere and the same bathroom where the little boy was standing across from in the pictures to come. Mind you, I have never fainted in my life or had any health problems of any sort. My mom found me lying on the floor unconscious after hearing loud banging sounds from my body falling against the wall and tub.
Another time, I experienced a huge strong force like a rush of wind that didn't blow or have any temperature. It came up from behind me and all over me as I walked out of the bathroom one night in the dark. It literally rushed up so forcefully that I stumbled and stumbled and almost felt like at moments I was gliding down the hallway into a darker corner. I was stuck against the wall for what felt like a few seconds and once I felt the force leave, I found myself feeling the walls as guidance into the living room where I could find a switch to turn on. I felt lost and so scared in my own house and I will never forget it.
I have also woke up completely stuck with only my eyes able to move and the words I tried to speak were only thoughts. Trying to move and speak were impossible and it felt as if I could not catch my breath. I have never experienced such moments until living in that house, nor anytime after moving out. But my son has unfortunately. It's getting more intense and now he's claiming to see "body doubles" of people who are still alive and breathing as well as living in the same home and being home at the exact moments he sees them. He says they trick him because he thinks it's me or his sister or grandpa, etc., walking into a room in the house and he follows them and finds no one there once he enters the room. He even says he sees the faces sometimes when they are just standing around somewhere and their eyes are all blacked out or all white. After jumping and looking away, they are gone by the time he looks up again. Soon the real person of whom he thought he saw comes out of nowhere or he finds them in a completely different part of the house doing other things.
He says he is scared but not too much of the shadow man he sees. He feels safe in a way when the shadow comes around, but the other horrific things he sees leave him up late and stressed out in fear and confusion. I researched some of these phenomena and came so a personal conclusion to try a remedy that seems real popular and most effective. I read up on a few sites that say playing the Quran on chapter 2 in a loop in a decent volume through out your house will run this activity away quickly and swiftly. I read that you can find the verse and prayer of chapter 2 on YouTube. Just search Quran chapter 2 I am guessing, as that is what I will do to hopefully find it.
Good luck with anyone going through the same things are similar and feel free to please leave a comment with your advice or opinion of what you suppose is going on with my son and possibly any experiences you may have had as well. Thank you all.
