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.

I See Shadows
Hello, I'm 17 years old now and I think when I was 15 or 16 I started seeing this "hat man". I remember him just standing staring at me, sometimes I feel like being choked. One dream I can't forget is when he reached his hand out and I grabbed it then I woke up. I tried to read other stories if he did the same but so far he never reached out his hand to these people. I do not see him in my dreams as much but even if I'm not sleeping, at night I see shadows running
The Ouija Board And The Hatman
A shadowman with a large hat on smoking a cigar Hi everyone my name is Arturo. This has been years ago but when I was nine I started playing around with a ouija board, I was really young and pretty nasty to it at times. I would play by myself but nothing ever happened. I stopped playing with it but that's when things got strange. One night I woke up. At my door in the hallway was a large black figure of a man with a long coat on and a large hat. He was smoking a cigar. I could
A Sociologist Explains Her Experiences With The Hatman
Hello, The other day, I was talking to a friend on the phone, and to skip the irrelevant details, we digressed into talking about the paranormal, and relating our own paranormal experiences. I will preface that with the fact that we are both PhD students, and spent considerable time discussing proven scientific explanations to common paranormal experiences, but how certain experiences of ours did not seem to fit in that mold. In January of 2011, I was living with my then boyfriend in a single family house. One evening, my best friend since childhood, Allie, was visiting from out of
A Different Story About The Hatman
