Although it is not an intrinsic part of this hallucinatory component, shadow people can potentially be accompanied by other sensory components aside from one's visual perception of them. This is typically infrequent and usually only occurs during very intense states of sleep deprivation, [[delirium]] or [[psychosis]]. For example, shadow people can potentially have an accompanying "voice", despite the common lack of a mouth structure. This auditory communication follows an identical [[Autonomous_entities#Communication_styles|leveling system]] of progressively more detailed and coherent spoken word in the same manner as a generic [[Autonomous_entities|autonomous entity]]. | Although it is not an intrinsic part of this hallucinatory component, shadow people can potentially be accompanied by other sensory components aside from one's visual perception of them.

Rarely, shadow people can cause [[tactile hallucinations]] that are indistinguishable from a real human touch. These physical sensations can be moderate in temperature, but they can also be cold to the touch. Pulling of clothing, hair, or the skin has been reported by some individuals. | Rarely, shadow people can cause [[tactile hallucinations]] that are indistinguishable from a real human touch.
