So sorry to hear that, perhaps your eyes are the problem, do you have headaches ? I know my granddaughter can have problems when she gets migraines or perhaps a doctor could help you, sure pray you start feeling better soon, also do some research on it. Do you see this after you have been asleep then wake up or is it happening when you are up and about ?
Stay strong....

My anxiety ramped up last year and i got very paranoid and although I did not see anything I sure was thinking paranoid. I was told that I was psychotic.
Maybe you could tell your mom that you are very anxious and it is affecting you to the point where you are seeing things, and could she take you to a doctor. It could be your vision, or because of other reasons, like headaches, but the fact that you are also feeling paranoid could be the reason. Also this may be because you have a big imagination? I used to see shadows and think that they were shapes or people and I had a very active imagination.
If you feel that your mom won't listen, is there anyone else that you trust that you could tell and they could tell your mom? Maybe if you wrote your mom a letter or note explaining everything that you are experiencing, that may help. And if you are dreaming, it may be when you wake up and are still in that dream state. I hope for you to be able to figure this out and be able to tell your mom so that she will understand and you can resolve this

You may think I'm off the wall but that's OK. when we moved from an old (175 yr old) house, I figured that there'd be no more 'ghosts' around. oh yea, even my kids saw shadows in the windows when we knew no one was home...but they weren't destructive, so didn't care.

anyway, we moved into a smaller more manageable place (only 25 yrs old) and I'd see shadows, both in the house, looked like an animal then I'd see a stooped over man walk by quite often. I finally asked my husband if he had seen either, he said yes....so much for not believing in ghosts! Once we got a dog, the shadows went way. So, either I'm off balance or the 'house' felt happy again.

Also realized that i watch a lot of TV at night with lights off and the different colors/shapes on theTV bounce off the nearest window and then to the wall. Hope this is all your 'shadows' are.

Can you get to a school counselor before school ends?

I was up and about both times I seen the man, but very stressed, to the point that I had multiple panic attacks. And yes, the hallucinations started after my paranoia started to escalate.Except for the one time I saw the man months ago. I used to have bad migraines last summer, but I haven't really had any since school let out almost a month ago. And the hallucinations have only been this week. The only people to own the house I live in before us are the ones who sold it to us, so I know there aren't any ghosts .

My opinion.........you are just seeing spirits. They are everywhere, they are not here to hurt us, they are here to gives us comfort. Do not be scared. Jen :)

Oh...........I see shadows frequently. Generally behind me going past, or to my side. Don't be scared. Take care. Jen :)

Anciety can cause hallucinations. Your brain may just be making things up too i mean if u get paranoid enough every noise and movement u see ur brain will come up with some explaination. Sometimes seeing things on the side of ur eye is just ur eyes playing tricks on you. Sometimes but not often i get really paranoid but i never see things just feels like something is trying to get me. One time it happened in my house then the same feeling followed me outside. I jumped so bad just from the wind and got into my car so fast. it was extremely scary, being paranoid is no fun!

Thank you guys for your support, it has helped me abit.
