I first saw the Hatman when I was about 15 years old. At the time of the happening there was a lot of family drama. My older brother Andy had went into the hospital for really bad health problems so I guess you can say I was stressed. When I first saw him I was in my kitchen making dinner around 5pm. It was pretty bright in my kitchen. Very well lit. I was cooking not really paying attention to my surroundings when out of the corner of my eye I saw something. He was completely black and skinny with a top hat. Also very tall, his hat was about three inches from the ceiling. When I saw him I felt this wave of dread and fear hit me. When I turned to him he quickly ran into my fathers room. That really scarred the heck out of me. Especially since I was alone. The second time I saw him I was in my living room watching TV and saw him kinda creep half of his body into the hallway, only revealing half of himself. Then he would slowly disappear to the left. And then he would continue that a couple of times in a row. He was exactly the same as the first time, only wider it seemed. One night I had two friends with me and we were sleeping out in the living room and I noticed him in the hallway. I asked my friends to see if they can tell me what they see in the hallway. I didn’t really give them an explanation as to what I was talking about. But what they saw was the same as what I had been seeing. Now the third time I saw him I was about 18. I had moved to a different city. About 1hr away from where I lived originally. It was about 8pm and me and my sister were in the upstairs loft, both on computers. Out of nowhere all power was shut off and then my baby brother Tristan, sleeping in the next room started crying. When I got up out of my chair to go get my brother I had seen the Hatman head into my brothers room. He was walking very fast, almost running. I started running towards the room and then all power turned on again. This occurrence was exactly like the first encounter… I am now 22 and haven’t really seen him around lately, like in plain daylight, but something tells me i will see him again. Whoever this Hatman is he follows people. I have had a lot more paranormal occurrences happen to me in my lifetime, even before seeing the Hatman, but I don’t see how he would connect to my other occurrences.
