Welcome to the Hatman Project

Hello. My name is Timothy M. Brown, Jr. and I am the site owner, administrator, and researcher for The Hat Man Project. The purpose of this site is to research the phenomenon that has come to be known as “The Hat Man.” Reports of The Hat Man and other shadow beings have been on the rise within the last several decades. It was due to my own experience with this being, as well as my awareness of other people’s sightings of The Hat Man that I decided to begin this research project.

I started this project in 2001, collecting what few stories I could find on the web at the time. Since that time, this site has received hundreds of stories from people all over the world. It has taken me the better part of 20 years to fully understand what this phenomenon is all about. And after years of research I have finally come a conclusion of who or what the Hatman is, why he is appearing now, why he is appearing to people all over the world, and what to do if you are (or have had) and encounter with him.

I am currently writing a book about the Hatman called The Hatman Revealed. In this book I plan to go into detail about the commonalities of the many hundreds of stories we’ve received over the years and what those commonalities reveal about this being and phenomenon. There will be no cost for this book, and I believe that this has become more of a mission of mine more than anything else. This information needs to get out there.

The aim of this website is to explore the stories of the many sightings that have been reported. This is the very first and only web site solely devoted to researching, collecting, and archiving information and stories relating to The Hat Man. As more stories are researched and collected they will be posted on this site regularly.

Have you seen the Hatman? If you or anyone you know has had this experience, we would love to hear from you and add your story to this site. If you have a sighting or an encounter you would like to tell, please post your story here to the right of this page. Once reviewed we will post it online and give others a chance to comment on it. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to reach out to us personally, you may do so by contacting us here.

The Hatman in The Group Home

By |November 14th, 2023|

  When I first saw the man in my wardrobe, I was living in a group home in Sevierville, Tennessee, US. When I had been placed in the cottage, the girls had told me about how they all see a dark man with a hat on and how he is most often seen in the hallway. They said that he was always at the very end of the hall, under the red glow of the exit sign in front of the closet. I have always believed in spirits and demons, so I believed them, but not completely, until I saw

The Hatman Choked Me By Computer Wire

By |November 10th, 2023|

Sometime between the ages of 6-8 (year '05-'07), I had my only experience with the Hat Man. I was sleeping on the top bunk while my brother slept on the bottom. We had a lamp in our room for a night light. One night, between midnight and 4am, I woke up and found myself frozen, unable to move. I was facing my computer and could only look around with my eyes, my breathing remaining steady. When I looked over at the lamp, I noticed that it appeared to be off, but the room was still softly lit. Feeling uneasy, I

Through the Window

By |November 5th, 2023|

I was around 5 years old when I began to experience the unusual and terrifying visits from this figure. I would be asleep in my bed that faced my bedroom window. He would open the window and creep inside. The curtain around the window would whoosh around in the night air that drifted in around him. He was black in a way that was void of any color, like a black hole of nothingness. He had long stringy greasy-looking hair with a top hat positioned downward over what would have been his forehead. I could see no facial features, only

I Think I Saw The Hatman

By |November 5th, 2023|

I have never, ever in my life experienced sleep paralysis until a few days ago. For context, I have a pet tortoise, and his cage has a red light for nighttime, so my room is pretty much always lit up. I’ve grown really used to having the room filled with a dim, red light as I sleep. However, the light bulb died a few days ago, and until the new one showed up in the mail, I was left in the dark. So I slept in complete pitch black for the first time in months, which was odd enough on

Sighting in South Dayton Ohio

By |November 5th, 2023|

I was a sophomore in high school, maybe 15-16 years old, and I shared a room with my little brother who was 11-12 at the time. His bed used to creak pretty loudly when someone would sit at the foot of it. One night, probably around 3 in the morning, we were both asleep when his bed made a loud creak as if someone was sitting on it, and it immediately woke us both up. What we both saw was a male figure, wearing a top hat, sitting at the foot of his bed. It was an eerie sight. Strangely,

Hello To The Hatman?

By |November 5th, 2023|

When I was 16, I worked at a small restaurant in town answering phones and taking orders. The restaurant served generic American food such as burgers, wings, and pizza. On Sundays during football season, we were super busy with wing orders. However, this one particular Sunday was very slow - almost deathly slow. There was nothing for me to do except sit on my phone because all the work was finished. In the restaurant, there was one main door for the front entrance and two back doors for the kitchen and office. I was sitting at the front of the

A Visit From Hatman During My Addiction

By |November 5th, 2023|

I was coming to the end of a relapse on drugs, feeling mentally and physically broken. My life had reached a low point, and I dreaded the upcoming withdrawal, knowing it would be as inevitable and devastating as a car crash. Seeking solace, a friend provided me with a bottle of vodka and a handful of Valium. In the early dark morning of winter, I consumed these substances at his house. The next thing I remember is waking up in my own bed, 16 hours later. The room was engulfed in darkness, and an ominous presence filled the air. I

The Man In The Mirror

By |November 5th, 2023|

I had a very rough childhood to begin with. I moved a lot, but one thing remained the same when I moved in with my mom for the second time at 16 years old. I remember waking up freezing cold in this old, rickety, trashed trailer. That was the normal. Let me give you a little perspective on my room. I had two mirrors. One was a half mirror I used to do my makeup; it sat on the floor. The other was a body mirror I had hung on my door. When I got out of bed, my dresser

Walking through the Man in the Hat

By |November 5th, 2023|

I remember my encounter with the Hat Man very well. I was about 7 or 8 years old, living in a shabby 3-bedroom rental home. The layout of the house was odd. As I walked out of the living room and into the entryway, I noticed that it stretched into an extra living room. This information will be of use later. While passing through the doorway, my body felt really light but heavy at the same time. It's one of those things you have to experience to understand. The best way to describe it is the feeling you get when
