A shadow person is like a spooky figure you might see at night that looks like a person made out of darkness. It can be scary to see one because it seems like they don't have a real body and they might not even be real at all. Some people believe that shadow people come from another world, or that they are ghosts or spirits. But others think that they are just our own minds playing a trick on us, making us see something that isn't really there. So whether they are real or not, it's always good to remember that they can't hurt us and we can always turn on a light or hug a teddy bear if we get scared.
