I first witnessed this thing/man/being a while ago, was roughly 7 years old. I awoke paralyzed in the midst of the night to find him standing feet away glancing into the mirror at his reflection. The room was dark but the light from the hallway that shined in was bright enough to distinguish the figure. He was slowly picking up a bucket. What it contained is unknown to me. I finally became mobile again and leaped out of bed. Sprinting right past him. He appeared to be startled by me as he jerked his head. I woke my parents and when I returned to my room he had vanished. Years passed and I would occasionally see him, until months ago.

My sensitivity to these beings has increased immensely, seemingly as a result of me searching for them. They took notice of this and make no attempts to evade being seen. I don’t just perceive The Hatman but “Shadow People” in general. They’re certainly humanoid creatures composed of some type of energy/substance. Perhaps their inter-dimensional creatures. They surround all of us, although are typically imperceptible unless you diligently try to perceive them. Gradually they will become more apparent and even interact with you in an indirect, subtle manner.

It seems to trigger their interest when you notice their presence. They’ll play “peek-a-boo” for a while until they’re positive you are capable of seeing them. And overtime become less difficult to sense. I can assure you they’re nothing to fear though. Why they manifest as shadows with seemingly malevolent intent? I don’t know, but what I do know is they’re not truly capable of harming you. They’re quite cowardly in fact, at least to a degree when you’re no longer afraid of them. As I am not considering I’m so accustomed to their presence. They refrain from getting too close, and will usually peek around doorways or corners. At a safe distance. I of course cannot be sure of their abilities and wouldn’t recommend attempting to provoke them, but do not allow them to interfere with your personal life.

Continued: It’s inevitable really, they have always been there. They simply weren’t visible. They project mental imagery into my mind and I have at times remotely viewed their world/planet/dimension. It appeared extremely alien and foreign. There’s not much diversity in their overall appearance. Their faces resemble a jack-o-lantern/preying mantis. Large, solid black eyes. Skeletal/thin body frames and pale skin. Although they obviously wear dark clothing.

There seems to be only a single hatman, not a legion. Or at least judging from what I’ve witnessed. His eyes glow green. Then there’s the “cloakies” as I like to refer to them as, minions of some sort. Who possess red glowing eyes. Below them are the regular shadow people, who wield no uniform. Followed by the imp/animal creatures. These imp creatures STRONGLY resemble greys and might infact be the “Grey Aliens”. Their height varies between 3-5 feet, appear to be less intelligent then the higher beings and their appearance is usually preceding an apparition of the Hatman/Cloakie. I believe the little dudes are Scouts/researches of some sort.

The Hatman also frequents my dreams, he has even pulled my “astral body” out of my physical shell. I recall in one dream he pulled me out, smiling and took me to some land. It didn’t appear foreign as the setting in the mental images did. Some sort of Astral plane, it contained a surprisingly pleasant atmosphere. He stood there, facing me, smiling this menacing smile. And then he did something I did not expect. He hugged me. Yeah, The “Hatman” hugged me.I still am dumbfounded by this, as it contradicts all his other hostile actions directed towards others. Shortly afterwards I woke up.

Continued Yet Again: I believe these beings possess no relation to any religion or supreme being, and are merely remnants of another dimension. Of course I can only theorize as they will provide me with no direct answers. And all this is just internet text and theory.

I can see The Hatman constantly; he transmits visions of himself into my mind. Almost as a form of communication, responding to me through facial expressions. The Shadow Beings do not come off as malevolent/evil to me. Sinister? Definitely. But I do not get the impression that their evil. Almost like an irritating friend who derives amusement out of pestering you. I can recall several occasions where they would tap the back of my chair, blow out light bulbs, even play music to communicate with me. They will feed into your fear if you are truly frightened, but if you can muster up the strength to overcome this fear you might be surprised at the results.

With all that being said, you’re most likely presuming I’m fucking nuts at this point. I can understand. Although I know I’m not psychotic and most likely sane. (Somewhat anyways. >_>)

I also apologize for my illiteracy and lack of detail in this post. I feel very lethargic and impaired at the moment. Feel free to reply with any questions and I’ll do my best to respond and go into detail.

Thanks.
