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 The Hat
I used to sleep in a room upstairs and left the door open. Every night I never slept. I would always run to my mum's room. On one night in particular I tried getting out to go to my mum's bed but I felt it was safest to not move. Looking out of my door I could see a black figurine walking past my door and then step towards my room, pausing at the entry of my door. He just stared in. On many accounts I had felt him near or somewhat with us. `On another night I was just
A Little After 2:00am
This occurred approximately 2 years ago in Houston, TX. I was staying at a hotel there on a business trip. I always sleep with one foot out of the covers at the bottom of the bed. It was a little after 2am, and I was fast asleep when I felt a light tickling feeling on the bottom of my right foot. I was lying flat on my back. I looked down at my feet, and there was a man standing at the end of my bed. It was the shadow shape of a man in an old wide collared suit
The Hatman In Texas
I had an experience when I was 10 or 11 (around 1995.) I lived with my parents at my grandmothers house which had been passed to them. Elmendorf, tx across from a wide open farm. I would wait for the bus around 530am. My brother would get on a different bus about 15mins before me since he was older and therefore went to a different school. It happened twice around that time. It was dark outside at that hour and I could still make out that it was a tall man in a long trench coat and wide brim hat.
Out Of The Corner Of My Eye
I seen the hatman two years ago over the summer of 2011. This was quite a "frightening" experience and I hope not to see this thing again. Well one night, I was ALMOST asleep on the couch in the downstairs living room at about 11:30. Next thing you know, I opened my eyes halfway and seen this thing in the corner of my eye right behind the couch where I was sleeping. I never seen any facial details but I could tell he was wearing some sort of trench coat because there was an outline on him and he was
Someone Was Watching Me
My first experience was when I was much younger. Eight years old. I was in my room, near sleep. You know how you can just feel is something/someone is watching you? Whether it be malevolent or not? I felt that and sat up to see the shadowy man at the foot of my bed. He had a hat on with a large brim and red eyes with no distinct features. Just shadow. I couldn't move, he didn't move. My memory doesn't serve me as well as I wish, but all I remember next is my parents not believing me. That's
Tall Hat, Trench Jacket
I was about 5 or 6 when i had my first encounter with the hat man i was laying in my bed when i got this very very bad feeling and then this figure of a man wearing this tall hat and a trench jacket i remember that he did not do everything of say everything but i was so scared that i couldn't move all i could do was stare i could tell that he was looking at me i could feel his eyes but i could no see them this happened several times i tryed to tell my mom about what had happened but she just
He Quickly Faded Away
Sixteen years ago I worked in an old bank building. The bathrooms were down in the basement. While I was down there I was alone I opened the stall door and directly in front of me about 12 feet away was the Hat Man. I looked right at him and he looked at me. His features were not all clear (sort of blurry or rubbed out looking) but his coloring was white. He wore a black sort of old fashioned suit with sort of a long black overcoat over it. He had on a black bowler hat. I blinked a
Footsteps In The Hallway
When I was about 13 years old my parents had to leave town for a while, I assured them I could take care of myself and if anything happens my grandma lives 2 blocks down the street. They agreed and went on there ways. So I'm just getting home from school one day and decide to kick it in my room and play some games for a while. I'm playing armagetron online for a couple hours and i'm really getting into it, fukin beatin on these noobs rackin up all the points. Then I hear something. Footsteps in the hallway
A Tall Black Figure
My first encounter with Hatman, was back when I was in Middle School (I'm now 22), and this has always stuck with me, to where I can remember it to every last detail. Back then, I would go to sleep at midnight, that was my own personal "bedtime" with the whole school thing, and I had a bunk bed of sorts (futon on the bottom), and I slept up top. I hadn't even fallen asleep yet, I was prepping myself for it you could say, and this is something that just STARTED out of nowhere. I remember having my eyes
