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.

The Man In A White Coat And Top Hat
I was 14 when I saw what I dubbed as the Umbrella Man. I had just gotten home from school and was the only one there. My parents were working and my sister was at a friend's house. I decided I was going to get on the computer and get on facebook. I remember feeling like I was being watched but at the time chalked it up as being overly stimulated from school. Shortly after I sat down my chair was forcefully pulled back. I was shocked and screamed. i thought someone had broken in. I remember I could feel
Hat Man Demands Feed Them Energy By Hurting Or Killing Family Members
I am here, because I am doing research on shadow people. My 11 year old step-kid sees two shadow people that demand she feeds them energy by hurting or killing family members. I am a biomedical scientist and doctor in training, so I am a very logical person. Nevertheless, I have dealt with some bizarre things in childhood that lead me to not dismiss the existence of the supernatural. My step-kid describes two shadow people. The first one is very tall, (11-12 feet tall) very skinny, and he has a blurry face and deep voice. The second one is short
Inching Toward Me
The first time I saw him, it was just a tall shadow behind the door. The second time, the shadow peaked around the door. I could see that it was a man with a hat standing in the hallway. I screamed my way out of the nightmare before anything else could happen. Several nights went on like this. Him peaking in from the hallway and standing in the doorway. Next it was in the corner of the bedroom, just staring at me. I became terrified of sleeping. Then it was at the foot of my bed. That’s when I felt
Hat Man Stare Down
I was a young mom in my early twenties. I was enjoying the quiet of my home after the kids and my husband fell asleep. I was about to walk upstairs and head to bed when I saw a dark figure of a man in a trench coat and an old timey hat (smaller than a top hat). At the time I didn't have much of a lexicon for the paranormal as I have now. Then I would've described him as evil or sinister, now I would just say he felt angry. I stared back up at him until he
Why Is This Happening?
I was talking to my sister about our childhood home, and I just want to know as why/how we experienced what we experienced. When you would enter our childhood home, our dining room was directly to the left. I always thought it was just my imagination, until yesterday. As a kid I would see random, opaque, figures in our unused dining room. Yesterday, I found out my sister saw them as well. Of course it was scary as a little kid, but they didn’t feel malicious, they were just there coexisting in our dining room. We moved a couple of
He Would Walk Up And Touch Me
I don’t remember much as I was pretty young, all I remember is a tall black figure with a hat he would walk up and touch me. when I would cry to my mom he would walk away out of the room until the next night he visited me almost every night until we moved .
Question Is, What Now?
I’ve had a few experiences with what I now have come to the conclusion is the hat man. My first was that it was just before dawn on a very wintery morning, I’m sure I was awake and I was lying on my stomach. I recall looking over my shoulder and seeing a dark figure then had the sensation of being lifted up in the air by my feet but like my head remained on the pillow. I felt extremely scared and screamed myself awake. My husband who was lying next to me woke up when I screamed, none the
My Grandma And I Saw Him On The Same Night
When I was a kid in the mid-90s (I couldn't have been older than 8 or 9), I woke up one night in the middle of the night, probably to go to the bathroom or something. But I sat up and went to get out of bed, I noticed someone standing in the corner. A black, shadowy man with a hat. Back then, I would've described the hat as one of those hats private eyes wear in the old black and white detective movies (I now know that type of hat is a fedora or trilby). I slowly laid back
The Hatman Returns But I Only Learned His Name Today
I just absolutely could not believe it when I saw websites explaining that I am not the only one to see this man. As a child, I was prone to night terrors and sleepwalking. The Hatman (I had no idea he was called this) used to stand in my doorway. I would sit up and be frozen in place and would scream at him while half asleep but I felt fully awake. I had this nightmare repeatedly as a child. As an adult, I have only seen him twice. I am 50 now. I saw him once in my 40s.
