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.

Hatman in Mexico
When I was 8 years old, I was alone in my dad’s house in Mexico. It was daytime, and I was playing upstairs in the house by myself looking for toys. I have to say that people have always claimed that it was haunted to begin with. I have had other supernatural experiences there, along with other people. This time, however, was different. I vividly remember leaving my room to go find toys in the main hallway. I was feeling uneasy, and when I suddenly looked to my right he was there! The Hat Man was close to my face,
The Hat Man Woke Me
I was sound asleep, and then I woke suddenly. I didn't think anything of it at first and then I looked to my right. Standing there was a tall cloaked man. His head nearly touched the ceiling. Inside his jacket, I saw what is comparable to a severely emaciated man. He looked to be made out of bone. The thing that stood out to me the most however was his hat. It covered what would have been this man’s eyes if he even had any to begin with. I kept trying to tell myself it was only a dream, but
The Hat Man Appeared In My Room
Three years ago, I was asleep and something woke me up. I saw a figure of a very tall man, about two meters, very thin, with a cape or suit and a large hat. He was bent over looking at me and I could feel how evil he was. I rolled the other way quickly and turned on the light and there was nothing there. It was not a dream, something woke me up and I saw it very clearly. He was leaning over and looking at me and he didn't say anything or hear any noise. I sleep with
Hotel Hat Man
I had my first episode when I was in my middle twenties and I was laying in bed and started going into this weird feeling of sleep. I wasn't really resting, I felt like I was awake but was paralyzed and couldn't move. It was dark in the room and I couldn't see anything but despite being paralyzed my eyes opened. I see this thing sitting on top of me, on my hip as I was turned on my side. I was terrified but couldn't move or speak, this thing looked like it was wearing a black fedora hat. It
My Kids and I Both Saw The Hat Man
December 14th 2020, I saw The Hat Man and I will never forget it. My kids said they had been having nightmares about a tall man with a wide-brimmed black hat, he had sharp claws and sharp teeth and would chase them in their dreams. I ignored it thinking it was the imagination of young children. I was DEAD wrong. They started having the same nightmare and said they saw each other in their dream and even described it exactly the same when we separated them and asked them about it individually. They were 7 and 4 at the time,
The Hat Man Came For My Mother In China
I have only seen it once, but we have no name for it. I’m from China we have a rich culture of the unknown, but this is something different. Someone said that it might be a hallucination or imagination after watching horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street or something else but it was very real and solid so I don't think that's what it was. It happened when I was 6 or 7 years old, I remember that night the moon was so bright that I can see things clearly with lights turned off. I couldn’t sleep that night,
The Victorian Hat Man
Hello, I'm 16 years and I live in Switzerland. A couple of months ago I was in my bed and I was looking at my phone. It was almost midnight and I decided to go to sleep. I put out the light and was laying in my bed, ready to sleep, I closed my eyes and suddenly this image flashed in my mind. I saw writings (similar to runes) written in red on a wall, like blood. I couldn't read them, and I was completely scared so I sat up in bed to wake up, I figured I was having

I'm Rachael, I currently live in WV and I'm would like to tell you briefly how The Hat Man has visited 4 generations of my family. I have seen the Hat Man three times in my life so far. I first began seeing him when I was around 6-7 years old. My dad was a firefighter and would work 24-hour shifts, and on the nights he was gone I would crawl into bed with my Mom. One night, I woke up because I felt like I was being watched. I rolled over and there was a very tall man, wearing
The Hat Man In My Mothers Posessed House
My name is Guillermo, I’m from Guatemala and this is my story about the Hatman. I can recall EVERY detail even though it was A LONG time ago. Everything I’m about to tell you is a compilation of my and my Mothers memories. I was probably 5-6 the first time I saw it, I remember that he was first standing at my door.
