Welcome to the Hatman Project
Hello. My name is Timothy M. Brown, Jr. and I am the site owner, administrator, and researcher for The Hat Man Project. The purpose of this site is to research the phenomenon that has come to be known as “The Hat Man.” Reports of The Hat Man and other shadow beings have been on the rise within the last several decades. It was due to my own experience with this being, as well as my awareness of other people’s sightings of The Hat Man that I decided to begin this research project.
I started this project in 2001, collecting what few stories I could find on the web at the time. Since that time, this site has received hundreds of stories from people all over the world. It has taken me the better part of 20 years to fully understand what this phenomenon is all about. And after years of research I have finally come a conclusion of who or what the Hatman is, why he is appearing now, why he is appearing to people all over the world, and what to do if you are (or have had) and encounter with him.
I am currently writing a book about the Hatman called The Hatman Revealed. In this book I plan to go into detail about the commonalities of the many hundreds of stories we’ve received over the years and what those commonalities reveal about this being and phenomenon. There will be no cost for this book, and I believe that this has become more of a mission of mine more than anything else. This information needs to get out there.
The aim of this website is to explore the stories of the many sightings that have been reported. This is the very first and only web site solely devoted to researching, collecting, and archiving information and stories relating to The Hat Man. As more stories are researched and collected they will be posted on this site regularly.
Have you seen the Hatman? If you or anyone you know has had this experience, we would love to hear from you and add your story to this site. If you have a sighting or an encounter you would like to tell, please post your story here to the right of this page. Once reviewed we will post it online and give others a chance to comment on it. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to reach out to us personally, you may do so by contacting us here.

Hat Man Behind The Door
I saw the Hat Man in 2003. I was lying in bed ready to go to sleep with my boyfriend beside me. The bed was positioned in the bedroom with the headboard against the wall beside the bedroom door. There was a nightstand next to the bed, then the bedroom door. I was laying there and looked up and saw the Hat Man standing behind the door. We had always kept the bedroom door open because we had a cat that would constantly want in and out of the bedroom. I had never heard about the Hat Man or shadow
The Basement Hat Man
About 4 years ago, I had a family party outside my uncle’s house. I was told at a young age that in the basement of the house, many people have been frightened by something lurking about. I tried to ignore their stories because I like to keep a positive mindset; however, that one day during the party, my aunt told me to grab some rice from the top floor. Once I climbed all the stairs, I opened the door to the 3rd floor, and I hear my cousin’s dog under a bed, scared like never before. I then confirmed to
Couch Bed Terror
It was over 20 years ago when this happened and it still terrifies me to think about it to this day. We were just young teens and we had been out that night with some boys that we shouldn't have been with. When we arrived home our whereabouts were known and we were in for it! My best friend and I were to shower and go straight to bed, only not in her bed but on the couch bed where we could be heard and watched for punishment. It was a rough night of tossing and turning and sometime in
The Hat Man of Brazil
This happened in Amazonas state, Brazil. I saw this silhouette back in 2001, I was 17 years old and was staying the weekend at a school friend's house. After we had dinner, she asked me to help her install the internet and teach her how to use it. Her pc was in her bedroom but the phone line was located in the living room. I got the CPU then while I set my foot in the corridor which led to the living room, a really tall silhouette came running at the wall, to my left, it was so tall his
Motel Hat Men
I travel to country areas in Victoria, Australia quite frequently with my mum for working weekends. We stayed in a small motel in a quiet country town on one of these occasions and my mum and I had separate rooms but they shared a wall and both bed heads were up against this shared wall. I have had some pretty interesting sleep paralysis experiences and this was one occasion. I went to bed but soon after felt the telltale symptoms of sleep paralysis where I couldn’t move and became instantly frightened. I then noticed TWO tall slim shadows ‘men’ standing
Encounter in broad daylight
This happened to me ten years ago when I was a teenager, my mom and I had to move to my grandparent's house. Sometime during the early period, after I moved there, I was sitting alone at the kitchen table eating. Then, a sense of dread and downright paralysis came over me and I was compelled to look at the kitchen door. Right there I could clearly see the shadow of a man with a hat and glowing yellow eyes. I could only watch, not being able to move a muscle. And then, the oddest thing happened: it smirked at
I Have Seen Him!!
Hi, well this is just something! Thought I was the only one! Well here is my encounter. I was in my late 30’s maybe? I was sleeping in my children’s room while they were at their father's for the weekend, with me at the time was my new husband. Due to the renovation of our bedroom, we were sleeping in my son's bed. We were sleeping in a single bed. My husband woke me by saying "Do you see that sitting on the dresser?" I remember lifting my head off the pillow to see over him. What I saw was
I’ve seen the Hat Man
This event happened to me around 1993-1994 in the State of Mexico, Mexico, when I was around 5 to 6 years old. During the evening, somewhere at night after 8:00pm when it was dark already, I was at my parent's house probably playing with my 2-year older brother in the 2nd floor of a 2-story house. The house's staircase has a U-shaped design. I remember I wanted to go downstairs, not sure if to head to the kitchen and grab some water. My brother was following behind me. All the lights in the first floor were off and the staircase
