Sorry in advance for the long post but I felt like everything in it was relevant to my experience.

My experience with shadow people took place over ten years ago now when I was a teenager but I can still remember it clearly as it happened multiple times. I was also not alone in seeing this tall, dark all black figure either, it had been seen by two of my friends at separate times from me. 
I’d like to give a short background on the area in which this happened because I believe it may have something to do with whatever appeared to us multiple times. I grew up on an old road that had a decent amount of wooded area around it, a friend of mine lived a quarter mile away from where I grew up and only one house between ours. Within this quarter mile there is a bridge at the bottom of a small hill that crosses over a large creek (about 50 feet below the bridge) where the first settler of our town built a mill in 1806. It’s at the top of the hill and bridge that the events always took place.
The first time this shadow had been seen it was by two of my friends. It was late at night and they had called me to come out and meet them. They were walking up from the creek and wanted to meet at the bridge and then head back to his house, so I stayed on the phone with them as I walked over the bridge. As I walked the bridge the friend, I was on the phone with asked who I came with, I was alone and turned around to be sure. When they got to the bridge with me, they had told me that a tall all black figure was walking the bridge behind me at a faster pace than me, and when I turned around, I stood face to face with it. Now at first, I thought it was my shadow obviously as the bridge does have street lights and a shadow would have been taller than myself. This couldn’t have been possible though given they were far below the bridge and my shadow would only have been visible on the surface of it.
The next time I had an experience was late at night anywhere between 2am and 4am. Be
