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.

Spy Guy
Hi my 6 year old son has been freaking the beep out me about the hat man. He calls him the spy guy. We were outside in the backyard last week working on a rock path talking about flowers and slugs when out of the blue he says " I just seen that guy again." I turned and looked and said "What guy?" he said" He's gone now, he seen me look at him." I thought what the hell is going on?. So I said, "Where did he go? he said " He just disappeared." I said, "You saw a
Red Glowing Eyes
At first you may think that this account was just a dream but please read the story in it's entirety before you reach any conclusions. I am currently a 41 year old woman who has had many encounters with shadow beings but only one with a hat. I have had many run ins with what look like the little star wars creatures with red glowing eyes and some with human like beings without hats. For the last 1 1/2 years I have been having a cat like shadow creature show up now and again. Anyway, on with the hat guy
The Man In My Mom’s Room
I have been researching the thing that I saw as a child for years now, and am relieved to know that I am not alone. I live in Indiana,I saw this in my early teens,in the early 1970's. I lived with my mom. It was probably about 1 or 2 am. My mom was asleep in her room, which was behind french doors which opened up into our living room. My brother, who is older than I am, was in College, but still lived at home. It might have been Christmas break. I was in the living room, watching b
Big Hat
Here's my Shadow Person story. I've been visited by a shadow person on and off for many years - starting in my adolescence. Big Hat Man always appears in my room, in the early hours. He's usually not alone, either. My visitations from Big Hat always start the same. I wake up, or at least I believe I am awake - but I can't move. If I'm lying on my side, the sun shines through the window onto the far wall, hot as High Summer, razor sharp and bright as a migraine. And there, standing in the pool of light,
Face My Fears!
The Hatman has visited me several times since I was in 4th grade...always under times of great distress. Started during my parents divorce, later after my grandmothers passing. The kicker is how he visits me. I don't see him while I'm awake...only when I dream. That's all i thought he was, until i found pics of him online! He shows me my worst fears and the only way I can fight him is to man up and face my fears! These shadows are all about negative energy, filling you with it to feed on. The only way to stop them
Halloween
I used to live in an apt, from around 2002 until 2008. We had enough unexplained things happening there that I would say that it had been haunted. "It" never did anything to hurt anyone per se but it did once throw a cd labeler and caused it to spin on our dining room table at an impossible speed which made a true believer out of my fiancé! After that there was bed shaking knocks and bangs from inside our unit and leaves on our bamboo plant would shake without any wind or floor shaking. Once, on Halloween of all
Bed With Dread And Terror
I am 18 years-old and comes from Norway. Ok, I had this "Dream" yesterday. I will tell about my story, would you listen to it? Ok, I was surfing the internet as usual after some hours I went to make me some food before I went to bed. I made it and felled asleep, then my dream came. My neck was shaking utterly fast but I was sleeping. I touched on my neck and it didn't stop really, It didn't stop I woke up and saw a Hooded person with Crimson red eyes staring at me, I was paralyzed and
This Is Serious
Hi my name is Cody and I have experienced most of the shadow beings. In my opinion they are definitely demonic. I am now 25 years old and I would say I started seeing these things at about age 10.It started when i would be going to sleep and waking up and I had heard of sleep paralysis but then it would start happening while I was fully awake. And surely didn’t see them out of the corner of my eye. They would get right in my face and they seemed to feed of my fear. I feel they are
