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 agree to let my story be published on the Hatman Project website.

A Very Peculiar Case

By |July 14th, 2012|

I have a very peculiar case of shadow people in my home, they are everywhere, I don't mind them, they don't bother me anymore, but what is strange is they do not display normal shadow person behavior, instead of staying in the corner of your eye they will stand right in front of you, not really caring, and not just for me, for anyone that comes over. There is also a point in my house they tend to always be walking towards, it seems to be my bathroom closet? Anyways, I have heard stories about the Hatman, but hadn't seen

Time To Fight Back!

By |July 14th, 2012|

Hi, I posted what my Uncle told me about seeing a figure with a black hat, a trench-coat type of attire and having much fear of this being... I posted it when this site was fairly new. I've come back to see that exposure of this thing has grown significantly. Forget the skeptics, there is a slue of undeniable evidence that this being/these beings do in fact exist. So- may I suggest, you create a page for this website in regards of "Getting rid of your Hat Man encounters" (?) It is evident that without fear this being/energy/entity is rendered

Someone Else Was In The Room With Me

By |July 14th, 2012|

I saw the hat man about a year and a half ago. It was February or so, I went to bed after a particularly tiring weekend, and had just fallen asleep, it seemed like. Suddenly, through my sleep, I felt as if someone else was in the room with me. Irrationally, I thought it was my mom, even though that made no sense to me. She would have no reason to come into my room in the middle of the night, especially because she had already gone to sleep before I went to my room. I opened my eyes because

Two Dimensional Figure Of A Man

By |June 12th, 2012|

About two weeks ago, at four in the morning--I had worked night shift that night--my mom and I were returning from the gas station I work at. Turning off of this road from the highway's off-ramp, there in the middle of the road was a two dimensional figure of a man. He had the wide brim, and the duster... but unlike first-hand-encounters; my hat man was on fire. I told my mom of course, she's in the car next to me. Driving, in fact. "I didn't see him," she tells me, her eyes on the road the whole time, "but

All Black, Like A Shadow

By |June 12th, 2012|

Hello, my name is Romina, I´m from Argentine, and when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, I was lying in my bed when I saw a man with a hat (he looked like the man of the movie "Poltergeist") in the feet of my bed. He was all black, like a shadow. I couldn´t see his face or other detail. I was completely frozen for the fear, when I started to feel like he was pulling my legs (but I didn´t felt the touch in my skin, it was like I was moving to him against my will) and

The Hatman’s Name Is Revealed

By |May 29th, 2012|

I just had this encounter last night!!! I was a sleep with the AC on, when my mom turns it off, i woke up and saw this long hooded shodow moving in my room, so I freaked out but couldn't move. It came behind me, and I closed my eyes for a sec, when i opened them a gain... the Hat man was infront of me.  I wanted to scream but couldn't.  After some tries, i tried to talk but words did not come out, but i could think about what i wanted to say.  One question was, What do

A Silence That Looms Over Me

By |May 29th, 2012|

I was just a kid when this happened, maybe around 7 years old. My uncle, brother, and I shared a room at this time and sometimes at night we would like to chit chat before sleeping. One night, the window blinds were open rather widely so on part of the wall you can see the shape of the large window with lines going through because of dim light in my next door neighbors backyard. As we were talking like usual, there is this silence that looms over me as I'm staring at that part of the wall. A man in

Difficult To Sleep At Night

By |May 26th, 2012|

I don't particularly know when i started seeing the illegid shadow people ordaninces, but i can DEFINITELY recall when i first saw the hat man. He was something incredible...like nothing i've ever witnessed before. I suppose it all started after the east coast earthquake that happened last year. I was just beginning to see shadow people after a long blissful abscence (an entirely different story), and i was started to get really annoyed with them popping up all the time. They make it difficult to sleep at night, with all their staring and everything. They never actually wanted to see

A Strange Silhouette

By |May 25th, 2012|

I hope that you be able to fix a little my text. My congratulations for your web site, and good luck! This story happened when I was perhaps ten years. I remember that it was winter or maybe was spring, but I don’t know. I had dinner with my whole family in my house around to eleven o’clock. When I was ten years I was afraid of the dark, always my parents left turn on the corridor’s lights and later they get rest. That night, I was afraid but I don’t remember why. I was very nervous. I went to
