==Visual component==

The visual [[external hallucinations]] usually appear as initial fleeting images out of the corner of the eyes, in the ~~periphreal~~ vision. As time progresses, however, the hallucinations may appear in full view and one will be able to look directly at them, even being able to look away and look back at the entity without a change in the hallucination. This progression is the same whether you are experiencing shadow people from sleep deprivation or from stimulant psychosis.

The bodies of the shadow people are usually a type of blackness that has a sense of depth with few facial or bodily features. They sometimes appear to have faces and are able to move or change shape.

The bodies of the shadow people are usually a type of blackness that has a sense of depth with few facial or bodily features. The blackness of the body seems almost opaque - it's like looking into a black hole in anthropomorphic form. They sometimes appear to have faces and are able to move or change shape.

Multiple shadow people can occupy the field of vision at once, acting autonomously from one another. This can occur in the ~~periphreal~~ vision or in the focused field of vision.

Occasionally, the visual representation of a shadow person can have an accompanying "voice", ~~depsite~~ the common lack of a mouth structure.

Occasionally, the visual representation of a shadow person can have an accompanying "voice", despite the common lack of a mouth structure.

When communicated with through spoken word, the level of coherency in which these entities can communicate with is highly variable but can be broken down into four distinct levels. These are listed below as:

These hallucinations are often perceived as being malicious due to intense [[Paranoia|paranoia]] and [[Anxiety|anxiety]] that often occur simultaneously. [[Tactile hallucinations]], feelings of convincing physical sensations that are not actually occurring within reality, may occur. [[Auditory hallucinations]] may also manifest themselves, causing one to perceive that the shadow people are talking to them and furthering the sense of panic.
