At night
 

Was talking about this with friends yesterday and I seriously thought everyone had this, since I can't find anything about it on google I'm just gonna ask here, I guess.

It's kinda stupid and embarassing but I don't wanna bother people about it irl and neither could I ask my doc or teacher.

When it's night or dark in a room or outside, it doesn't even matter if I'm alone or with people; I see black or gray forms in the corner of my eye. Sometimes its not even in the corner of my eye, it could be anywhere. I honestly thought everyone had something like this so I didn't ever really ask anyone.
The rather darker forms are there for mostly just a second or two and go away when I look. Sometimes it's not dark but instead a bit brighter.
It sometimes takes me about 2 hours to finally fall asleep because it just bothers me too much, another reason why I can't sleep with light, an open door or without being completely covered in a blanket.

Yesterday, I swear to god, I kept on seeing things behind the fence (I saw a face, something behind the tree and behind the corner of the wall in at least 20 minutes) but no one believed me. People made fun of me and told me to calm down when I told them that stuff like that happened to me all the time so it started worrying me. I don't really believe in ghosts or anything like that but I'm kinda LOWKEY worried about my sanity and/or my eyes.
So just making this thread to be 100% sure that everyone (or at least some) have this, really just curious if this happens to anyone else.

O before I forget this again, another question (google told me I had tinnitus and thats kinda hard to believe):

I don't know if it's because of me constantly listening to music but does anyone else sometimes have this really high pitch noise (sometimes beeping) in one of their ears when it's really quiet? Sometimes it's both, makes it really hard to sleep. It often goes away when I turn my head into a certain direction (its kinda random).
It often occurs when my phone or charger is nearby.

Try to keep things clean, These are mostly called shadow people I have a lot of them here since my Neighbors are very messy and I could see them at the corner of my eyes, I also see these at the backyard of their houses, it might be just them.
But I seriously think they wont do harm, I've been seeing them for months, and after all those times I just like to keep my room clean and stuff organized.

Shadow People are mostly attracted to messy places, and the face you see in the backyard is a human being call 911.

Edit 2: http://www.assap.ac.uk/newsite/artic...phenomena.html this *** scared me idk i dont' wanna check it out.

I had the high-pitched ringing in my ears every once in awhile as a kid, but I turned out fine.... Right?

You have a good health care system in place. Use it.

People go to the doc if they have serious medical issues and not because they see things at night or hear high pitch noises, I'll sound insane

Tis' true.

They'll ship em' off to the wacky shack.

And people who brush off symptoms that they deem insignificant tend to have a lower life expectancy.

If something seems off or is worrying you about your body, why take an unnecessary risk. You are paying into a service that you refuse to use.

I don't think it's anything to be worried about. When I was younger, I experienced similar shapes in the corner of my retina when it was dark, and I grew out of it. It's probably your eyes trying to heuristically make sense of objects that don't exist

I think of you

@Title

This is true, too.

No reason to be worried. So essentially your retina is composed of two different types of photoreceptors (these capture light), they are called rods and cones.

Cones are the type of photoreceptors that capture colored light (found in the fovea). These are strongest in your direct line of site because there are more in these areas. (with that said there are less in the corners of your vision)

Rods are the photoreceptors that display most of what is in the corners of you field of view. These deal less with the colors of light and more with capturing motion and movement through any lighting. (If you believe in evolution it is believed this helped us keep out for predators and danger.)

So anyways, when it is dark it is easier to see if you look out of your peripheral vision. This is because your Rods are more receptive of light even if it is weak. Where as the Cones in your eyes cant pick up light and movement as well. So the things you are seeing moving are actually there, but its just the light bouncing off of things that your rods are picking up. When you look at it your cones can't see the light as well hence why the forms "disappear".

Turn off the lights and try experimenting with this sometime. Its actually very fascinating and cool to see in effect. And you have learned something new!

As for sounds if the ringing is constant day and night you might have Tinnitus, which is constant ear ringing. Check with a doctor though, I am not certified to diagnose you.

Same, used to happen to me.
But I did have hallucinations all the time so
Maybe ask your mom to take you to a psychiatrist
They can perscribe you some anti-pyschosis meds.
Worked like a charm for me.

Still might want to call the police with the face in the backyard though.

that last part is tinnitus

i've had it since i was a little kid

thanks 4 all the advice guys
I think I'll talk to my doc because of the tinnitus thing

wasn't my backyard, friend held a party and I doubt I'll stay till 12am next time too.

I can't understand everything right now-I don't feel like reading everything.xD
I have a bit of a mess in my house, I try and keep everything clean, it doesn't work, though.xo
Sadly, I never seen these "shadow" things, instead I see actual paranormal stuff.:U

Pretty sure you're just having hallucinations, go to see psychiatrist.

Lol damn I have tinnitus too someone a while ago just told me the ringing in my ears just meant it was the last time I'd be able to hear something of that frequence and that it's just my ears adjusting so I figured it's true cause if you use the dog whistle app older people can't hear certain frequences that young people do

But I looked it up and yes listening to loud music causes this, I grew up listening to Billy Talent being blasted full volume cause of my older brothers (and I still like the band too) so that's probably how I got it

This can't possibly compare to the voices I hear at night.

Wait oh **** that's tinnitus??? I thought it was normal. **** me then.

Next time, I'll sleep with you and protect you. <3

Posted this in the other thread but relevant,

When I was around 5 I was sleeping with parents and I remember a shadowy figure walking out of a wall looking at me and walking towards me.

Only ever happened this one time so im guessing it was just kid paranolla hallucinations, like how people who believe in ghost are more likely to think they've seen a ghost. I also get an occasional ringing in my ears, but from what i understand its not tinnitus, tinnitus is permanent, where my ringing goes away after a few seconds to a few minutes.

You should probably get that checked out before they tell you to go kill someone.

Can't say for sure, but in this case it is likely that you experienced a phenomenon known as Sleep paralysis. Your body locks up in sleep and your brain releases chemicals that make you hallucinate. Its pretty complicated so I suggest reading about it somewhere else because I can't explain it too well.

Might be, although I thought you weren't able to move when you have sleep paralysis? I remember pulling the covers over my head.

In that case its likely an evil spirit. Pack up all your SH*T and get out asap.

apparently at the age of ~3 i knew how to operate my dad's home theatre system......

.....so i would do what any logical human would do. crank the volume to the max and then switch the whole thing on. pretty sure that's how i got it.

It could happen because of 2 main reasons:

1.Either your cone cells are dying (which isn't the case here i hope).Cones detect extremely low light in your eye.

2.It's just your blind spot of the eye. You can notice your blind spot more clearly in the dark.

Try watching less T.V and start basking in the sun a bit.

EDIT:just noticed Shurikan already explained it.

No. Besides seeing little boys in a red shirt run pass the room I'm in, I also hear the ceiling light/fan turn on and off. :U

Second one happens to me occasionally, but I don't listen to loud music. It goes away though so I never really thought about it.

Tis the demons watching you, it may be a sign that you have been doing unethical things as of recent. and you have to redeem your sins.

Should probably see an optometrist or ophthalmologist (either is fine, they do the same stuff) about seeming dark shapes and shadows only in darkness.
