First saw him when when I was 6 . I had just finished washing my hands ,drying them on the towel hanging from the door it was after dinner around 6/7 just getting dark , daylight could still be seen through the windows but the street lights were already on, I came out of the bathroom turning to switch off the light ,and turned around (now facing my parents room ) noticing it was really dark in there , and that’s when I noticed it was not the room it was something standing there in the doorway , looking up I saw this “shadow man” as I called him at the time, wearing a long cloak (think old london or old west ) and a cowboy looking hat,as I stared what was suppose to be a face I saw nothing no features just empty black abyss then he raised his arms outward like his arms were attached to the cloak,not a second later I tore off down the hallway to the lights on in the kitchen, my heart was pounding so hard , terrified at what I had seen looked back down the hallway to see nothing was there , I had told my mother and she told me it had to have been the lights playing tricks on my eyes or I was just dreaming ,but I know exactly what I saw , years later I mentioned it again and my grandma told me she had seen the very same man when she was a little girl (she is 92 now) A close friend was here recently within the last months or so and when I left my room to get some water for us, he yells” hey someones in your backyard ” I grabbed the bat by my door nd we run out to find nothing , upon asking him who he saw, he says he saw a guy in black and he couldn’t see his face through my curtains ,I stopped him and asked did he have a hat ? and his face told me exactly what I had assumed .but could it be the same thing ? ,upon some research I was shocked to find so many people around the world had seen him,even had a name “the hat man” and I found your page and E-mail , with that , my question/s is: who /what is he?what could he want? and are his visits to all these people at random ?
