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.

A Bright Flash
Translation from Google Translate: It was an ordinary evening after a long sleepless night. As always, we sat in our room: I was lying on the bed and watching my favorite series on TV, nearby my boyfriend was sitting at a computer and playing online games. The location in the room is as follows: the bed stands against the wall, and parallel to it on the other wall there is a window near which there is a TV, a computer table near the bed and sitting behind it you turn your back from the windows. Night was approaching and it
A Camper Visitor
My husband and I lived in a camper for a while, for some context it was a fifth wheel with a step up into the bathroom and the bedroom. We were laying in bed arguing one night when we both looked to the door frame of the living room which we kept open. We saw a black figure with a trench coat and a cowboy hat that was BELOW the step up into the 5th wheel but was just about as tall as the door frame, so i'd say a good 7-8 feet tall figure. We were the only people
Trench Coat Man
While living on base in Anchorage Alaska I saw a tall man in my bedroom twice. One night I woke up to who I thought was my husband standing at the foot of our bed. I called out my husband’s name and heard him groan next to me. I quickly looked at my husband then back to the figure but it had vanished. About a week later I woke again to see a tall man standing next to the bed on my husbands side. This time I could see that the man appeared to be wearing a top hat and
Trench Coat With A Cane
One night i was walking, tripping on lsd, and i realized the dark got darker and the air got hard and stale. When i looked at my buddy i was with, he was shivvering and looked scared. I looked behind me and about 10 feet behind us, never closer stood a tall man with a long coat a small top hat and a cane but this was no man, just a shadow the lights passed through. He just followed making the others… dark hounds and other entities crawled from shadows and stared at us waiting for courage to leave. Another
I Saw Him Clapping
I have never had sleep paralysis in my life. I saw the hat man when I was about 8 years old. My little brother (who was about 5 at the time) and I we’re both sleeping in my bed when I woke up to hear a loud clapping sound. My immediate thought was my cat was making this noise. She does this thing where she stands up on her hind legs and scratches at smooth surfaces like TVs, windows, even bath tubs. So I assume she is scratching at the tv and I immediately stare at the tv. Nothing is
The Hatman and the Mean One.
So I don't know really where to begin with this, but I've seen two different shadow people for the majority of my life. Even as a small kid, I remember seeing things in my peripheral vision, and have had nightmares about creatures in the shadows. It never progressed further than that until I moved in with some friends of mine, and got a job at a gas station working the graveyard shift. All my other friends in the house had day jobs, so usually right as I was about to go to sleep they would be getting off work. This
The Hatman’s Favorite
As a young child between 1st-7th grade I used to see this shadow man. At first I would see him passing by lit door ways, some times I would see him at night, during the day. One time I remember I was at my friends house and he walked right past the front window of her house and the crazy thing is SHE asked me first if I had seen it and I was like ??? You saw that too? Anyways years go by I tell my family they think I’m crazy, fast forward to a very drunken night junior
Who Was That Guest There?
Me and my sister recently discovered that we saw the same shadow then. It was around 4 years ago, and we were sleeping in the same room. "The chair" with clothes that everyone has in the bedroom was between our beds in the middle of the room. I remember clearly waking up in the middle of the night to turn into a comfortable position when i saw a shadow of a man in a trench coat and a fedora sitting on the chair casting the shadow on the opposite wall. The shadow was there, broken on the wall like being

ENGLISH TRANSLATION My boy is 17 years old and has a problem with his heart as a result of which he is taking pills. One summer night while he was eating with his family outside in the yard everything stopped, he saw the others talking without listening, when he turned his head he saw a man in a hat looking at him.
