Shadow people after rolling
This was my first experience with the ‘shadow people.’ I’ve read reports and posts about people seeing them while on psychedelics, but I thought I’d maybe only see them, in my lifetime, while on acid or a 2c compound. I was wrong..
NYE. Went to a local massive for the evening and was rolling from 3-9am. After I came down, I slept from 10:30-5p. I felt alright when I woke up – a little ‘out of it’ but I was expecting that. I was extremely exhausted. I had a little nap in my friend’s car as he drove me to a train station, and took a bus from the train station to get home. While on the bus, I was falling asleep on the window and kept having to shake myself awake. I had some strange realistic dreams- some of you may know what I’m talking about, those extremely real dreams you get after rolling? Yeah. These were very light though and I was able to snap out of it easily.
Nearing home, I start to hallucinate. I see a zombie/mummy type thing stumbling across the middle of the street. I watch as it passes by the bus, then spin my head around to try and see it once again, but it had disappeared.. Confused, I looked forward at the intersection ahead of me, only to see a dead construction worker handing from the traffic lights. This vision disappeared a second later. A little freaked out, I snapped awake for the rest of the trip.
While walking outside, I see what appears to be a small boy in a shadowy area where some bushes are. Fucking creepy looking little boy. As I walk closer, I’m able to make out more details, but once I am within 2 meters of the shadow boy he disappears. Along the walk I see more people form from shadows. Some move, some don’t. The ones that move do so in a swaying motion. All of these shadow people are terrifying to look at- their features are very distorted and fucked up looking. I rush home..
Cold and a little freaked out, I jump into my bed and switch off the lamp. Some light still seeps in from underneath my door, illuminating my room a little. I see 5 different shadow people in my room. One huge, gangly looking one observes me from inside my closet. Another hunches over in my chair, and either looks at me or the closet shadow. A large, chunky shadow person squats atop my desk, dangling its arms and watching me. Yet another creeps at the end of my bed, observing the others. The scariest one only appears every few minutes- I believe that it is hiding at the side of my bed, then comes up and darts around the others before hovering by the edge of my bed and staring at me before disappearing once again. Needless to say I am frightened and turn away from them all. An hour later, they have all disappeared.
Thing is, I thought this was something that would happen WHILE I was rolling, not after I had come down. has this happened to anyone else? Or could it just be from having little sleep as well?
