Hello Tim, I’m Princess from the Philippines, first, sorry for my bad English. My first experience with The Hatman was when I was 11, I am now 35 and married with kids.
We had just finished dinner that night, and while I was washing the dishes, suddenly something strange caught my attention outside the window right in front of me. I don’t know why the moon was so bright that night, I noticed there was a shadow of a person, a man wearing a hat, not a fedora type in my case, it’s something like a bucket hat, not a trench coat either but a jacket like a leather style and pants. It had both its hands in its pockets, and all I could see was the outline of what he was wearing. I was surprised and nervous. I opened the window a little and asked who he was and what he needs, I raised my voice a bit because he was a little far from me. I called my brother who is watching television at that moment, I said there is someone outside.. my brother came down, and he also saw the shadow I was talking about, this time we both asked the dark figure man who he was, but we didn’t get an answer from him, he just stayed in that position standing without even moving or speaking. The next night I saw him again, and on the third night as well. same place and angle. I didn’t pay much attention to it anymore, I thought that maybe he was a co-workmate with my cousins and was looking for them because our house and my cousins’ house are next to each other. I also have no idea about The Hatman phenomenon because at that time there were very few people who had the internet and there was no social media then. Years passed and I got married.
I have heard different stories about sleep paralysis and shadow people. I suddenly remember the shadow man in the hat. I wondered if he was connected to those shadow people they were talking about. I tried to google the word shadow Hatman, the images immediately came up, the fear and memories came back as I looked at the photos. I was surprised that I was not the only one who saw him, this Hatman has been seen and talked about in different parts of the world. I believe in the spirit world, I’m not that religious person, but I have faith in God. Satan, Angels, and demons were mentioned in the Bible multiple times. I read some verses in the Bible that give evidence that Hatman is possibly the devil or Satan.
I want to draw your attention to these verses in the Bible.
James 2:19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
According to verse 1 cor 11:13
The symbol of the man’s head is Christ
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
1 Cor 11:7
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
1 Corinthians 11:4
Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
A man’s head is a symbol of Christ. There is also a verse that says our bodies is the temple of God..
“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
The Hatman’s head and body were both covered (hat and coat) as if it was a message that he did not agree with it. Among the shadow people, he is the only one with this kind of details.
God’s temple (the body)
Christ (a man’s head)
Seems this hatman is doing the opposite. Covering up is a form of hiding or it is something you are ashamed of.
Remember the story of Adam and Eve? God made Adam and Eve naked, until Satan came and tempted the woman to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. there they found out that they were naked and ashamed, God was angry and God made them a body covering and they were expelled from the garden of Eden.
Many people in different parts of the world have seen this entity (hatman) in Job 2:2 it says..
Job 2:2
And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.
