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 Hatman In The Philippines

By |April 5th, 2013|

I was about four when I encountered The Hat Man. Unlike many of the stories I've read, he did not come to me while I was sleeping. I was fully awake, late afternoon, in the living room. This was back when my family lived in the Philippines. He showed up burned inside the bamboo couch, like the grain in wood... it swirled and I saw this small shape of a man's shoulders, face and of course, his hat. The way the shadow moved I could tell he was trying to speak to me, the sides of his face moved like

When Out Of The Corner Of My Eye…

By |April 5th, 2013|

I first saw the Hatman when I was about 15 years old. At the time of the happening there was a lot of family drama. My older brother Andy had went into the hospital for really bad health problems so I guess you can say I was stressed. When I first saw him I was in my kitchen making dinner around 5pm. It was pretty bright in my kitchen. Very well lit. I was cooking not really paying attention to my surroundings when out of the corner of my eye I saw something. He was completely black and skinny with

I Thought It Was A Dream

By |April 5th, 2013|

Hi my name is Sarah, i am 16 years old and last year i had a dream of the hatman, at least I thought it was a dream. Bassically what happened was i woke up from the lightning outside and stading beside my bed was a shadow of a person who was wearing a hat and a coat or cape of some sort. I half sat up and looked across the room to where my sister was sleeping, she was fine. I tried to get up but I couldn't move, like I was paralized. I looked at its face, but

A Humanoid Looking Thing

By |April 5th, 2013|

I'm pretty sure Hat Man visited me in my dream. When I was little, around 4 or so, too much Poltergeist had a huge effect on me. I had nightmare after nightmare of TV's turning on to what I called the snow channel. It just made my dreams awful. One specific dream stands out though. I was crouching next to my parents bed when the TV came on, naturally, just like every dream. I looked across the room to see their closet open. Literally floating on out, was a humanoid looking thing with the hat and coat. It also came
