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.

Our House In Seattle
In Seattle around 2004 my wife, daughter, and I were standing in our dining area. Suddenly I saw something -- a human shape -- out of the corner of my eye. It startled me as we three were alone in the house. I turned quickly and reflexively to look at it. When I did it was gone. I looked back at my wife and daughter. My daughter and I began to talk at the same time -- "Did you see that ...?" For both my daughter and me the shape was out of the corner of our eyes. For me
Peeping Tom
I read about the Hat Man today for the first time and was able to connect it with an experience I had as a child. I was about 3 or 4 and still sleeping in a crib in my mother's room. We had moved to a new apartment and I awoke one night to see someone in a hat peering into the room from outside the bedroom window. The window did not have curtains yet. Since this was the late 1960s and the hat seemed like something from the 50s, I am thinking this could be the Hat Man. I
Someone’s Calling My Name
I saw him when I was 12, it happens like this: I was staying up one night then I heard someone call my name. I looked around the house because it sounded like my mom’s then I realize she was in bed sound asleep went to my door and he was at my door looking at ME. I felt great fear and a bone chilling cold on me then I tired to say something but nothing came out. Then he went down the hall and vanished into a door. Ever since then I kept hearing voices and talking in the
Same Experience At The Same Time
About 3 months ago my girlfriend and I went to bed. We fell asleep and the next thing I knew she was screaming that frightful, deep, shocking scream and came curling up next to me. I woke her up and asked if she was okay and she said it was just a dream and went back to sleep. The next morning she told me it was so weird because she could swear that a man in a hat and coat was standing next to us, but when I woke her it had gone. I didn't think anything of it and
Someone’s Watching
3 members of my family saw the hat man many years apart in the same place doing the same thing and wearing the same thing. I saw him when I was about 10 years old. I woke up in the middle of the night and he was standing inside my room by the door to my room that was opened. I was very scared and could not move and just watched him and watched him. I thought I was seeing things. He was very tall, almost as tall as the door itself. He had on a long black trench like
I Definitely Had The Fright Of My Life
I have seen the Hatman. Did not know so many people did. I saw him for about 5 seconds. I was sitting infront of my computer, playing games at about 22h00. I was alone. The place I sat was next to my stairs going up to the attic. The lights were on. The next moment I thought I saw something on the stairs. I turned to face it, and I saw right in front of me a tall black figure with a wide brim hat. Completely black. No details. He came down the stairs. I turned on the swivel chair,
The “Hatman” Hugged Me
I first witnessed this thing/man/being a while ago, was roughly 7 years old. I awoke paralyzed in the midst of the night to find him standing feet away glancing into the mirror at his reflection. The room was dark but the light from the hallway that shined in was bright enough to distinguish the figure. He was slowly picking up a bucket. What it contained is unknown to me. I finally became mobile again and leaped out of bed. Sprinting right past him. He appeared to be startled by me as he jerked his head. I woke my parents and
A Flat 2D Shadow
I've been waiting a while to post my story. While I was married, my wife at that time and I seen something in our townhome in March 2007. We had partied for a few days before returning home. Once we got home, we argued for hours. We eventually settled down and were sitting on the couch when I seen something going back and forth in the living room. At first I thought I was seeing things, so it didn't really freak me out until my wife asked me if I was seeing it too. She then described exactly what it
My Guardians
Im going to start off with a little story then move onto a hypothesis: When, I was 12 my mom got a boyfriend who was abusive. There was a few times when he would beat me. A few weeks after he came around I began having dreams where I was in an entire realm of shadow people, it even came to the point where I couldn’t tell if it were real or not. So one time in one of these "dreams" I hit myself as hard as I could, the next day I woke up with a bruise. I have
