True stories of "shadow people" & "real hallucinations of people that are not real"
There is a big difference to seeing "shadow people" and seeing "people" on meth. Now I've known people who see shadow people straight away after doing one big IV shot, but this is always from paranoia as they will be peeking out the peek hole in the front door or something like that and think they see a person inside a dark car in the drivers seat, at night time. But when I would open the door and tell them no definitely not, they'd realize nothing is there looking at the car with the door open. Yet when I close the door, they get paranoid again and look through the door peek hole and see the shadow person in the car again, falling back into the same paranoia. Trust me I've experienced the same thing one time and it's easy to fall back into the old paranoia when you actually do see a person in the car through the peek hole, but open the door and they're gone. The way the peek hole changes your vision to a fish eye lens has to help with that particular "shadow person" effect.
Now on the other hand, the only way I was ever able to see FULL REAL COMPLETELY DETAILED PEOPLE, at a distance, and then up close even. Was when I was up for 5 days STRAIGHT NO SLEEP, no napping, no passing out, NO BLACKING OUT, NO SLEEP OK. THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS BY INJECTING LARGE AMOUNTS AND EATING WELL + taking supplements even, such as magnesium citrate, potassium, calcium, & sodium(this will help your muscles from not seizing up and cramping, as all these electrolytes all are involved in muscle movements and the ability to hydrate your muscles.) Because if you're vaping/smoking this much, eventually your body will stop your lungs from absorbing any more of it and you'll pass out. (although it's dangerous to IV large amounts+not sleep for this long, you might have a nervous breakdown or something similar.)
I only saw them once okay, but I was still in a decent frame of mind, no delusional thinking. I was standing outside, smoking a cigarette at night, about 2-3am and I was just looking around with my eyes randomly as most people do smoking alone. Then I happened to look two houses down at a neighbors driveway, they had a car parked on the street right next to their mailbox and they had 3 people washing the car, clear as day, at 3am on a weekday....... also they had one person recording them washing the car with a video camera and he was crouched down in front of a bush, aiming his camera at them.
Well they were all looking intensely real so I decided I had to find out if they actually were or not, fuck the fear of seeing this random shit, I had to know. So I (don't drive on meth, I don't at all except for the fact that I was just going 2 houses down and then turning around) got into my car and drove towards them, as I got within 10 feet of them, and they all looked 100% exactly real, as you or I would look from 10 feet away stone cold sober. Anyways I got within 10 feet of them and was staring at them and they all kinda disintegrated into wisps of cloud like material and became blurry as they all floated away around the car, then they were all gone. I drove back to my driveway and got out and went back to where I was smoking at when I first saw them and I looked back at that area and they were no longer there. Where I saw the guy recording in front of the bush was just an indent in the bush where another bush was. And where I saw the 3 people washing the car was nothing. The car and the mailbox were still there however. Now you may say I saw the mailbox and car morph into those people or something but, I didn't see any kind of blurry effect or morph or anything the whole time, except for when they dispersed. So label my experience as what you may, but just know I've had friends who stay up for 5 days and fall asleep for 6hours total during that time, and don't see any people, then pass out.
