The definition of legion is a unit of demons. There are 6,666 demons per legion. Johann Weyer cataloged demons, listing 72 princes who commanded legions totaling 7,405,926 underlings. They are organized in military fashion, with ranks, specific duties to each demon. The legions attend their princes when summoned. They can infest, oppress and possess victims.

Shadow people are dark, human shapes typically seen moving at night and the most common form of ghosts that people witness. Shadow people often flee in the presence of people in physical bodies, especially if they realize they have been detected, and are often viewed out of the corner of one’s eye (peripheral vision).

Shadow people are also known as dark shadows or shadow ghosts and probably are the most misunderstood of ghost entities. Shadow is an indication of spiritual condition: it is the absence of light (light in spirituality denotes truth - and darkness would indicate a lack of knowing or fear). In other words, shadow people are disembodied humans who are lost, having not gone forward in life’s journey by refusing to go toward the light that will carry them fully unto the next realm after death of the physical body. Missing this transition, ghosts remain here with those of us on Earth in a temporary state of limbo, so to speak.

Shadow ghosts are not devils, demons or aliens, as some want to theorize, but people; and how they look to us is most likely due to two factors:

their inner condition (state of the soul)

how we are able to perceive them in the visible spectrum

Because we fear darkness, many of us have come to believe that shadow people have ill intentions and thus are evil. However, most shadow people are not negative in nature, and are simply lost and in need of guidance to understand their condition. Shadow people have been recorded in video as both adults and children, male and female, but often as people reliving their former lives, being trapped by the mind and remaining as earthbound spirits.
