Sorry to be bumping such an old thread but I just had to comment. I've only seen shadow people one time and that was a couple months after i first started working 3rd shift and I thought the couple hours of broken up sleep I got during the day was enough. Also, I would take benadryl to help me go to sleep and sometimes I'd take one or a few extra. The time I saw the shadow people I took the benadryl way too close to the time I had to wake up so I think it might have still been in my system plus I was sleep deprived. I got up for work and had a night from hell. I thought everyone I encountered was whispering behind my back and staring at me. I ran outside feeling like I was losing my mind, all I could think was that I had to get away. I had called my husband, then bf, at that point and he was yelling at me to go back inside you're gonna lose your job. I started walking down the sidewalk(at 2 AM, middle of winter New England), and my job is in a bad part of a large city, so this really was insane. As I walked I was looking around and when I would look at the street lights I kept seeing movement out the corner of my eye. I kept looking, finally spotting something behind the post of one of the lights. It was so bizarre it just looked like a shadow come to life, except almost looking cartoonish and it didn't perfectly resemble a person. After the first I saw more, some way up high, some on the ground. I told my husband people had come after me when I ran out because I did not realize what was happening at the time. I walked for a good 10 minutes and my husband somehow managed to convince me to go back, where I found my supervisor (who had no clue I had left or anything was wrong) and just burt into tears. Out poured some bizarre explanation of not getting enough sleep mixed with everyone hates me and God knows what else. Thankfully, he was a sweet guy and told me no one hates me and I just needed some sleep. He let me sit and rest for a little while and when I went back to work everything was normal. No one had any clue I had felt psychotic and was hallucinating. By morning when I left I had the worst headache.
Sorry for the long post, just curious if what I experienced is along the same lines as what people see when amped up, no sleep. I wouldn’t have thought not getting enough sleep(I wasn't getting literally NO sleep,it just varied and I was sleeping in the day because of work) would cause the reaction I had, I chalk it up to the benadryl being thrown in the mix.
