One night I was sleeping in the living room of my family’s trailer home when I suddenly woke up from my sleep. When I woke I had a strange feeling like something was there with me. I’ve had night terrors as a kid and have had interactions with entity’s before so the feeling was familiar and I knew something was there. Without hesitation, it felt like I already knew where to look.

I raised my head out of bed and looked towards the living room TV and my great grandma’s plant in the corner of the living room. That’s when I noticed a very tall figure of a man around 7ft tall with a top hat. I examined the figure it didn’t move but just stood there staring at me with its glowing red eyes as if it were doing the same. The only things I could feel were fear and curiosity as to what it was or what it wanted. At first, I thought I might be seeing things or my mind was playing tricks on me because that’s what my mother would tell me so I closed my eyes and turned away thinking to myself it’s not real and will be gone when I look again. I thought wrong. As soon as I opened my eyes I was now met face to face with the figure as he was laying in my bed less than 1ft away looking straight into my eyes I closed my eyes back immediately as it frightened me further and as a kid couldn’t bear it. What I saw in the quick glimpse of his face was a man with no features other than a severely burnt face to the point his features didn’t exist anymore.

I’ve never seen it again, but I’m still scared of it. The Hat Man is real.
