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.

He Is Lingering Near Us
My ex husband and I lived in a second floor apartment in the late 70s and had simultaneous dreams of a large black entity in our hallway outside our bedroom, and would wake up at the same time and discuss our dream. We had a large, sliding window in our bedroom that was stuck shut. One night we woke up because we were freezing cold and this window was open all the way! We also caught glimpses of the hatman when we moved out of the apartment and into a deceased estate. We both, separately, saw a tall man wearing
Watching Through The Window
I have seen this "Hat man" that you call him many, many times. Although, my story differs from most because, he has never actually appeared in my bedroom. He does however come at night and watches me threw my windows. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night or before I go to bed and feel his presence. It all started I guess about four years ago when I started to become more acquired with my abilities. I am second generation in my family in dealing with psychic abilities and I think that’s one reason why this shadowed man
Why My Picture?
Hi, Well what can I say other than I saw "hat man" last night, I would have otherwise thought I was crazy if I hadn’t seen all the information and blogs from others who have also seen him. The time would have been about 1.30am, my partner and I were in our bedroom talking and I was crying because I have been depressed lately and was talking to him about the way I was feeling. There was one bedroom lamp light on and the bathroom was the next room over. I had gotten up to use the bathroom and I
Full Moon
I'm pretty relieved yet freaked out about finding this site because I've been having dreams of this guy since I was around 8 years old. I'm 20 now and haven't dreamt about him or saw him in a few years. I first saw him when I was 8 in a dream I had. I just woke up from hearing something and looked out the window for some reason. It was a full moon and when I looked up at the full moon I saw the outline of a man and I felt that he was staring at me. When I
Abraham Lincoln With Beard
My mom has seen the hatman. She doesn't know if she was dreaming or not, but she said that he came through a window and urged her to follow him, but she declined. She believed he was bad and was afraid. My uncle also saw him, twice, one time walking outside a hospital, along the sidewalk, right around the exact time my grandma died in that hospital. Another time he saw him was while he was walking his dog late at night and the hatman was across the street. When my uncle saw him he knew right away and turned
He Was Always There Watching Me
Hi everyone, well I have been searching for years and years to what I would call this "apparition" its been bugging me for so long, I’ll tell you my story. When I was young about 6 or 7 years old, we had just moved to a new house, now when I moved I had heard stories of this place being haunted but for the longest time nothing happened, then strange things started occurring, my mother would hear footsteps coming up the basement stairs and even out cat got spooked and she said it tilted its ears and the hairs on
Not Just One “Hat Man” But Four
This is the first I've ever heard of any reference to a "Hat Man". I had an experience once with not just one "Hat Man" but 4. Yes, that is correct. 1, 2, 3, 4. I'm not sure if it was just a waking dream or a legitimate experience, but it was very real none the less. It happened around the age of 13 or so. I'm not sure on the time line but the scene is something I'll never forget. I found myself awake just before dawn one Saturday morning. This was very odd due to being a teenager
Disappeared Into Dark Bats
I was shocked to find that these stories matched my own. I was about 8 years old when I saw a figure in my room. It was standing at the door by my sister's bed when I woke up and saw it. It looked blacker than the surrounding darkness. I said "Mommy?", thinking she was in my room for some reason. There was no response. I called her name again but it still said nothing. I blinked a few times, thinking it was my eyes. I knew I wasn't asleep. Slowly it began to walk around my sister's bed, towards
Deer Hunting
I was deer hunting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 2008 when I saw hat-man. I didn't even think about my sighting until just a while ago. Just decided to look it up recently, I was very shocked to see what I saw had a name and that others had seen him too. I Googled his characteristics and was surprised to see so much online about him. Anyway it was the day after Thanksgiving about 3:00pm when I was hunting in the woods. I was sitting on a log halfway up a hill, looking down at a deer run. Beyond the
