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.

The Shadow In The Forest
Ok, this isn’t much of a story but I’ve seen what sounds like the ‘hatman’.. I think. I was a lot younger. Maybe around 11 I’m not so sure but I was young. There is a small forest type thing near where i live called 'farm' which is basically small fields with an of trees. I was walking the my old dog with my mom and suddenly I turned around and my mom was gone, I was looking around to see where she might be and a shadow appeared about 5m away from me on a bush/tree type thing and
A Shorter HatMan
I didn't hear about how huge this event was until recently, I used to see the "hatman" a lot when I was younger, but never thought anything of it though I clearly remember staring at it and wondering what was making the shadow look like that, nothing in the corner and/or bookshelf would've set off a shadow like that, this went on for awhile, I can remember seeing it more than 10 occasions in the same corner, never thinking to ask anyone what it was. I also have a memory of their being two once, but one of the hatman
‘Jack The Ripper’
For many years I would say 5 or 6 at least of my childhood, there would be a man similar to this that would come to my room and either stand in the doorway, kneel next to my bed or walk in the hallway. I usually only saw him at night, so my parents thought I was having reoccurring nightmares, but on the rare occasion I would see him in the living room or the kitchen. This happened at least weekly, and I could almost sense him again this past summer. I can physically sense when he is in the
“Dad Is That You?”
I live in Hoover, Alabama and I saw the Hat Man when I was younger. I was around the ages of 9-11 (I'm now 24). I was asleep in my bedroom in my full size bed. I opened my eyes and right in front of me, at the foot of my bed on the side i was laying on, was a dark solid figure of a man with a hat and coat on. I couldn’t make anything out, he was just a solid black shadow and didn’t move. He just stood there facing me. It took me a while to
My Grandparent’s Haunted House
When I was 22, I lived in my grandparent's old house in Texas, 34 miles south of Dallas. My grandparent's house was considered "haunted" by various guests. Unexplained happens occurred at random dates and times. Most happened after dark, but very few in broad day light. Anyway, one night I was laying in bed, not entirely asleep. I often had nights where I would just lay for hours with my eyes closed before I could actually fall asleep. Out of nowhere, I heard two elderly female voices, one on each side of the bed. I suddenly opened my eyes and
The Dancing HatMan
A buddy and I were visiting my family in Mexico, It is my place of birth and my friend is from Connecticut. We were staying in my grandmother’s house, and on one Sunday night we had to both sleep in the living room. I was on a couch on one side of the room and, he was on the couch along the wall parallel to my couch. We were both laying in the same direction, and in our view is a big table and a wall. The table was about 12 feet away from my face, and probably a foot
The Man On The Chair
I've seen the hat man twice, and believe me, it wasn't just a shadow in the corner of my eye. I was probably about 8 or so and I was staying at my grandparent’s house in WV. Now, I've experienced other paranormal phenomenon in that house, so I was not surprised to have these experiences. One night I was sleeping in a bedroom upstairs. I was lying awake, lying on my side and facing the opposite direction of a chair that sat by the window. I suddenly felt like I was being watched and I turned over and there, in
My Experience With The Hat Man
My Experience with The Hat Man The incident occurred around this time last year , in the early hours of the morning . I was in bed asleep next to my boyfriend when I suddenly woke up, I was paralyzed and had the overwhelming feeling of fear. I was lying on my back when I saw the figure. It felt like pure evil and had the aura of a male. He was wearing what looked like a long duster jacket with the collar turned up, a old fashioned fedora style hat with wild bushy hair flowing from under it. The
Only In My Dreams
The thing is, that even though I have seen the Hat Man in sleep paralysis, I have also seen him (and I am sure of this) in episodic dreams when I was 5 years old? The reason I say this, is the man I saw in my dreams is identical to the Hat Man, but like your beings wore a wizardry witchy type hat? He arrived with an air raid siren and then chased me around the house! He had an accomplice - and the funny thing is, he was bald, grey skinned, tormented wide eyes that stared... and he
