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.

Luther
I was harrassed by Hatman at the end of my addiction and the beginning of my sobriety. At first, I didn't actually SEE him, I just knew he was there. There were times I heard him laugh. It was a very diabolical laugh. He was laughing at me. There are folks who said he was nothing but part of my dt's, but could we all be having the same dt's? He liked to be called Luther. No, he's certainly NOT the founder of the Lutheran church nor is he Martin Luther King or anyone good! I was stupidly curious while
Incredibly Creepy
After doing my own research (albeit this is about 20 years later; I'm 29 now) I decided to look up this 'Hat Man' to see if anyone else may have seen him. And man is this some creepy stuff. I couldn't believe how much this figure has appeared around the world. My story is similar to many others. This stems from a childhood experience that I had when I was around 9 years old living in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Those who know me know that I am a level headed realist, and rarely let something get the better of me. BUT
“The Little Yellow House”
So glad to have found this site. Truly fascinating stuff here! I wanted to post my experience on here as well. I am 36 years old. My encounter happened in the early 70s when I was around 4 or 5 years old. My parents and I were living on the south side of town in San Antonio, Texas when this happened. It was a small, yellow house that we all still playfully refer to as "the little yellow house." Late one night, it was me and my mother in the living room. My dad worked nightshifts alot back then. I
“Moth Man”?
I live in Atlanta, GA. My wife and my son have seen the "Hat Man" for years. Everywhere we move to they see him. I have not experienced this myself though. We have recently had a radio station D.J. that shared his experience. Several people in metro Atlanta flooded the radio station with phone calls talking about their experiences. My wife called me to tell me that she had heard the discussion on the radio. The last time that the Hat man appeared was to my son. "Hat Man" likes to hang around in our hallway and doorways. My son
Hello Spirits
I know this sounds kind of crazy but ever since i saw the hat man 5 years ago, spirits are trying to communicate with me. I don't know if this happens to anybody else. I need some comments or replies. Just to know I'm not crazy. I need some help, i need to know I'm not the only one trying to deal with this. It’s rare when it happens but sometimes when I'm a sleep I feel like something is trying to get in me. I try to yell but I can’t, I can’t move and I see everything in
Man With A Weird Beard
In the early 70's,me and my brother saw an old looking imp like man with a long beard during daylight hours. he wore a ragged top hat with a long grey coat..He was standing still out in the open and just looking at us, about 30 yards away. my brother and i looked at each other and for some reason we both started to run towards him...as we did he may a quick little hop and then ran very swiftly (for an old man)across our path and was out of view behind a corner of a building...we got to the
Just Checking Out
I just last week saw what people are calling the"Hat Man". My wife and I were on our way to Lincoln,Ne and as we traveled down the road we pass some old abandoned farms.I was checking out one of these old houses as we passed it and as we cleared the house and some trees surrounding it I saw {Him/It}..floating in the air about 12-15 feet off the ground and maybe 15-20 feet from the side of this house.He/It wore a long dark coat and wide brimmed hat...I was freaked out to say the least!!! I turned to my wife
V For Vendetta Type Hat
Hi everyone, I first heard of the Hatman from my older sister. I was 5 years old and we were staying at a friends farm as guest when we lived in Venezuela (I currently reside in Miami) we were both sleeping in the same bed and she first saw a big silhouette or shadow of a large man with wide shoulders wearing a black suite and of course the hat. She said she had also seen a shadow of a small boy with red eyes next to him... the hatman did not have a face though and he was just
Humphrey Bogart
From the time I was 4 years old up until age 14 (the years 1961 through 1972) I had countless experiences with what your readers call “the hat man”. The shadow that appeared in my bedroom, basement and sometimes outdoors, always wore a brimmed hat and a long trench-coat. I likened the image to actor, Humphrey Bogart, because the man’s wide brimmed hat from various angles reminded me of the type of men’s hat popular during the 1940’s. The shadow figure also would sometimes gesture towards me as if to say “Hello”. The intensity and frequency of the encounters were
