It surprised me to learn that I was not the only one who had hear about the Hat Man. I just came across it about a month ago. Pretty much my story deals with seeing the figure myself. When I was about four years old and had just moved into my new home, I started seeing this strange, tall, shadow that looked like he wore a long coat and a fedora hat. Instead of being scared, I actually was interested in him and tried speaking to him. Although, this ‘thing’ just kept standing in the hall of my house, just staring at me. It wasn’t just me who saw it, my friend also had seen it in the same exact place as it usually was! It just stood in the doorway and just stared, the minute I moved, it dissapeared. I know this can’t be my imagination because I saw it before I learned that others have before. It is not possible that my mind could play tricks like this on me. Nonetheless, after seeing this shadow, I always had something bad happening around me whether I fell and got hurt pretty bad to the point where everyone close to me started getting hurt. One of the worst experiences and the last time I ever saw this shadow was May 20, 2008, two days before my birthday. I saw the shadow strait in the morning and then saw my dad leave for work, he’s a truck driver so I wasn’t surprise to not see him until the morning of my birthday. However, this time, he didn’t come for my birthday and my mom cancled the party that was suppose to be the day after. Turns out he was driven over by a small truck and his skin… well… ripped off of his arm. HE IS OK THOUGH! He doesn’t have a job, but he is still living and active, but ever since that experience, I never saw the shadow again. I really hope someone could somehow give me an explanation of what I saw, of what I myself have been through. So I hope that more people will post their own stories and try to find an answer to all of this. Thank you for your time! :)
