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 My Room
At the age of 9 I first seen him. It was the middle of the night located in Massachusetts; I was sleeping and suddenly felt like something was watching me, I woke up and in the corner of my room was a shadow of a man wearing a trench coat and a top hat. I would close my eyes and he would just disappear. Between the ages of 9 and 15 he would continue to visit it me, always at night and in the corner of my room. I kind of got use to him. He never did anything to
He Visited Me Twice In One Night
It was during a time of sadness and isolation that i was riddled with anxiety and sleeping alone every night. I am a light sleeper and I remember clearly feeling the pressure and weight of someone sitting on the foot of my bed close to my feet which woke me immediately. There he was in all his profound blackness sitting there but not looking at me. Instead i was seeing his profile as he was looking straight ahead off towards my bedroom closet. I jumped out of bed and passed him to turn the light switch on.. and poof.. he
Encounter
My friend who chooses to remain anonymous for the moment encountered the hat man, at least we think she did. In her 60s, she knows a thing or two about life, what's real and when she is over tired. The night of the encounter, she was wide awake, grounded and knows what she saw. My friend let her dog out, early spring, late night. Lights from street and other homes illuminated her yard, making it easy to see her dog and anything else that could walk through. Suddenly, there was a man standing next to a tree stump. What she
I Saw The Hatman When I Was 10
My first citing of the Hatman was quick and fleeting. I had just gotten out of the shower late one evening and opened the door, wrapped in a towel, ready to run to my bedroom. But when I peered down the hallway, I saw a crisp shadow against my parents dresser which made me hesitant to enter the hallway. It was a shadow of man in a wide brimmed hat. In less than a few seconds, the shadow “walked” out and away from the dresser. There was no sound and no eerie feeling. There was no possible way this shadow
Hatman Interrupted
I had no idea, until recently, that the hat man was a phenomenon outside of my own experience. I have never before or since suffered from sleep paralysis night terrors or even nightmares. I encountered him only one time. It was mid March 2006 in Perugia Italy. My wife and I were on a “babymoon”, one final trip before the birth of our first child. We stayed on the 3rd or 4th floor of a nice hotel near the historic city center. After a long day I slept soundly until I felt like someone was in the room with us
Hatman At 3am And Looming Shadow
It was a regular night, I had woken up to go to the bathroom and get some water. My bedroom is upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs, so it does take a couple minutes to get water and such. Anyway, on my way back upstairs I went into my room and behind the door, there he was. He was so tall, had a hat on and coat. He literally loomed over me. I felt breathless but my instincts kicked in and i tried to square up with him. Then, I ran to my bed to hide behind my dog, but
A Recurring Visitor
I first saw Hat Man in the fall of 1988 in Rhode Island. I was 4. My parents were out for the night and I had a 16 year old babysitter. It was evening time and I was playing in the living room by myself when a tall, black shadow of a man with what looked like an Abraham Lincoln type hat and a long trench coat glided past me and down into the basement. As it was passing me, I froze. Maybe because I was scared? All I know is that I couldn’t speak until Hat Man was down
Hat Man In My Dorm Room
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my encounter with the hat man. This happened to me 3 years ago. At the time I thought I was just seeing things and that It was just me but I listened to a podcast today that Ashley Flowers does called Supernatural. In the last ten minutes, she described Timothy’s encounter and I immediately got chills. I had no idea that I wasn’t alone. So here’s what happened. I was sleeping in my dorm room with my 3 other roommates. I woke up in sleep paralysis and remember being able to clearly see everything
