When I was little. I lived in a house were some strange things happened. My parents are skeptical. And any time I heard voices, a door slammed or else, they would always tell me it was my imagination or a dream. As I grew up. I started to see a shadow figure watching me from my bathrooms door. At the beginning it was more like mist. But it was something that was starting to attach to me. After some years the shadow I always saw, started to change. It began to take the figure of a human wearing a hat. And as this happened every time I saw the shadow I experienced sleep paralysis. Until the shadow vanished. As time passed the Hatman started to become more clearly in his shadow, the shadow started to acquire more detail. The shadow man was wearing Victorian clothes and had long hair. Then I just not saw him as a shadow but in my dreams, he was a pale man, that looked calm. But every time I dreamt with him. I felt my energy was being stolen. So every morning I started to wake up very weak, and with almost no energy. My health started to decay, but didn´t had anemia. Doctors said I was having my sugar levels very low. They gave me medicine, but it didn´t matter if the Hatman appeared in my dreams. After some years we moved on from that house, and I stopped seeing that shadow figure, or dreaming about it. Also I recovered my health with no medicine at all. I had never seen again the man in the hat.
