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 On The Roof
I’m 34 and I would say this happened about 10 years ago. Throughout my life I’ve experienced sleep paralysis and had a few other intense dreams. I was asleep and all of the sudden I was in pitch black with a tiny bit of light shining on the roof of a house. The dream was completely focused on the roof. I could hear footsteps echoing. Then the hat man appeared. He was a black figure with no face. He had a hat on and a trench coat. He had a tail and hooves for feet. I watched him walk across
The Hat Man on Holiday
I was on holiday with my friend and we were staying in a small cottage together. We stayed in the same bed since there was only one. After I fell asleep I woke up paralyzed with a completely black man in a wide-brimmed hat and a trenchcoat in the corner of the room. I couldn't move a muscle but he just stood there not moving. I managed to begin to move my toes and then my feet and eventually I was able to get up and I walked over to the corner of the room but he had gone. When
The Hatman in the Window…
I was between 2 and 4 years old in Castlewood, Virginia when I saw The Hatman staring at me through a window.. I had just picked my nose and got my butt busted for it and then told to go wash my hands. Now before I continue, you need to understand that this particular area of Virginia is prone to flooding from frequent overflows of the Clinch River, so the trailer was fairly high off the ground at least 3 feet. There were 2 doors, only the front door had stairs that my Dad had built. The bathroom I was
The Hat Man Keeps Visiting…But I Feel Safe
I was raised by a Bi-Polar drug addict Dad who had a short temper and sped with us in the car with only his knee. He only ever hit me once, but the guilt of having a short temper made him feel the need to spoil us & be the “cool” parent instead of a good parent. I was fine with the way he said he was sorry for being kind of a piece of shit. My mom was different, she raised us in a dictator-like fashion, expecting me to fit exactly with her expectations, be modest, and have well-behaved
I Was Meditating…But Was it The HatMan?
In the early 2000s, I was at a healing circle doing Reiki energy healing for whoever came, free of charge. This means I was in a light trance. While working on one woman, I "saw" a white, root-like thing growing into her at the top of her spine/ base of her skull. As I tried to coax it out of her, I saw a man with no face wearing a top hat and long coat walk up and take sap from the root. He was taking sustenance from something that was harming her.
Hatman In My Hallway
The year was 1998 and I was 19. I was in the kitchen with my younger sister, doing the dishes while she washed, and I dried. We were talking and joking when I backed up into the wall. A few minutes later, something down the hall caught my eye. I turned and immediately screamed, almost dropping the dish I was drying. My sister quickly approached and asked what was wrong; I was incoherent. She looked down the hall where I was wildly pointing, but she couldn't see anything; except the closet door where Hatman once stood. Hatman appeared to me
My Experiences with The Hatman
The first time I saw the Hatman, I was around 12 and I was paralyzed with fear. I hadn’t heard of him before, and although I had been plagued near endlessly by various horrible nightmares, I had never before experienced sleep paralysis. The first time, I had fallen asleep on the ground in front of our family’s sliding glass door while watching the rain in a thunderstorm. When I awoke, it was much darker out and I was terrified and couldn’t move. Worse yet, when I turned my eyes to the glass door there was a tall, shadow in a coat
Hatman In The Phillipines
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
I Thought I Was The Only One… Thank God I’m Not!
I honestly thought I was the only person besides the people that lived in the house before that had seen The Hat Man, I felt crazy. Even after I moved out of the house, I saw him again. Never did I think that people all over the world had experienced the same thing, I am so glad to know I'm not alone. When I was 10 years old I lived in Lowell MA, in a small 2-family home and strange things would happen all the time. All of my mom's knickknacks would fall on the floor by themselves, including these porcelain
