I get this sometimes. It creeps me out, but it's often just my arm or leg moving around. Or those lights you get from looking at bright light for a while. But sometimes it isn't.

Shadow people always at the edge of your sight? Happens more often than you'd think. But I don't know if it's anything paranormal related or just something odd with the eyes or brain doing that.

Fun fact though: your retina at your periphery vision is more sensitive than at dead center. Your center retina wears out faster in life than at the periphery edges so you can sometimes see things at the edge of vision better than by looking directly at them. Try looking at a starry night sky and you'll usually see more stars at the periphery of your vision. Too bad the lens of the eye can't focus on the periphery though. It's probably also an evolutionary trait too for detecting motion at the edge of sight.

I have that problem, and don't like it. I makes it hard for me to go to sleep sometimes, because part of my mind is also paranoid. It usualy looks like a ghostly person. When my fetigue is much worse, I see birds swooping down infront of me. I'm starting to see dots in my vision without being tired.

Sometimes I see the dark shadow of a man's body, out of the corners of my eyes. I'll look again, and I don't see anything.

I do see shadowy blobs in my peripheral vision from time to time. Not scary, but often annoying. I'll also see what looks like shooting stars for lack of a better way to describe it every now and again

I have this problem too, but I know most of the time what I see is not real, It's quite entertaining to be honest.

Do any of you who notice this also have trouble reading black text on white paper?
