How scared are you during your disturbances? I've found that the more scared you are, the more you pull negative entities towards you because you basically offer them a feast. A lot of them feed off of negative energy and you leak negative energy when you're afraid. 

I'd advice to clean up your place. Get rid of whatever needs gotten rid of and clean all that is filthy. Take care of yourself - if you could use some fresh clothes, haircut, or a clean shave, get one. When you feel like you're a "new you", burn white sage and spread the smoke throughout your house. Read up on reverse breathing techniques, and how to control your physical energy. Maybe place some reminders on this on your nightstand, perhaps on your ceiling and the wall at the end of your bed, so that if you do get woken up at night, you see your reminders. What you want to do really, is be able to discourage the shadow person that haunts you and no longer offer them what they want - the energy you leak when you are afraid. Getting to feel like you've got a fresh start is a great way to get rid of them since you feel more confident and really into the "today is THE day!"- mindset.

Another thing is righteous anger - basically start to realize that whatever is haunting you, is a trespasser in your house, disturbing your deserved sleep, messing up your life. And all uninvited. Stop feeling like some overpowered predator found its way into your life and you can't do anything because you're just a poor little helpless person. It wants you to think that and feel helpless, because that means it can feed off of your misery. Start feeling like it has no right to upset you, and get angry (righteous angry!) at it for having the audacity to come in and think it can rule over you.

And before you feel that I'm trying to stir up your life and worsen it, I know where I'm coming from. When spending time with family who are dealing with the same problems (things falling, dog being absolutely terr

Don't think the white ones run anything to being honest...

I've seen them several times, and they seem more peaceful, less cold, if anything.
    First time was at a hospital at dusk, in an area between a dialysis centre and the operation rooms. It was about 4 feet tall, built like a child, and moved fast from the dialysis centre towards the operation rooms. I thought maybe it's the location, but I've not seen any there afterwards.Other times I've seen some they were behaving and "placed" just as other shadow people. Nothing much out of the ordinary, but I guess you just can't forget your first time.

The white ones come off less shy and more self-confident. They can have white smoke twirling off of them, leaving behind a short-lasting trail as they move. I've not seen any white shadow person stand still, they always seem to move.

The translucent ones are more common where I am now, and they are even more self-confident and bold than the white ones. They can be gorgeous to look at, seeing they're like crystal and deform everything behind them. It's not rare that they hang around on my furniture, or watch me sleep. Or just watch me in particular. They seem to know when I'm awake and when I'm not, sometimes even following me as I move from one area of the house to another. The cat sees them too and does not like them at all - he hisses loud as he can when he spots one. They seem to try to avoid having him alert us to them when they can and it's almost like a game by now.
