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.

His Freezing Cold Presence
Over my life I have always "seen" figures- little boys old ladies just all walks of human life appear and are gone in a flash. Never has this caused me any problems and never have they interacted or lasted too long. They are not a corner of an eye experience either but quite clear visions of people- I do not know what they are - I did not care as it did not affect me at all. On one occasion myself and wife at the time went to view her child hood home that had come up for sale- my
HE Has Caused So Much Sress
LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THE MORE HE IS TALKED ABOUT AND THE MORE ATTENTION HE IS GIVEN , THE MORE HE MANIFEST AND THE MORE HE WILL PRESS. I HAVE HAD MANY MANY ENCOUNTERS WITH THIS THING OVER THE LAST FOURTEEN YEARS AND BY NO MEANS DO I FIND HIM NON THREATENING. I HAVE LOST THINGS AND FOUND THEM ALL TOGETHER IN A CORNER OF MY HOUSE MANY TIMES, I HAVE ALSO SEEN HIM SEVERAL SEVERAL TIMES, WEATHER IT BE IN A HALLWAY, KITCHEN OR DARK ROOM. I WAS SLAPPED IN THE SHOWER AND HAVE HAD MY HAIR
His Stupid Smile
I have been visited by this description "the hatman" for over 30 years in Ontario. I have never heard much about him until recently, although people started telling me they have seen him within the last 15 years. I have searched on the internet and never found much until now...I always thought it was rare...I would like to tell a bit about what I have seen.....it started in the 1970s but I was less than 5 years old and he wasn't alone....he was around for a bit and I saw his face and his stupid smile...his stupid red face and
Group Experience
I guess maybe I'm in the minority here, but is anyone else experiencing this as a group? Let me explain--I have three friends (for privacy's sake we'll call them JK, DC and DI). Our hatman experience started with DI, who one day mentioned in passing that he'd had a weird 'dream' about a man in a bowler cap. We passed this off as just a dream, but a few weeks later, while in JK's house, I saw a strange man standing in a corner and watching me. He was mid-height, with a black bowler cap, a pinstripe suit, and the
The Grim Reaper
PART 1 OK wow...I have seen this thing... I think...2 nights ago.. He was a tall, probably 7 ft tall, black shadow with no apparent shape except for the head. The head seemed wider than a normal man's head, but I couldn't make out any definition of a hat, there were no eyes or skin either..I do not feel that this being was ever previously a human like it's some entity demon/angel thing. My story is different because this "being" created something that wasn't there...I'll tell you the story. I had had a fitful night sleep, I remember waking up
My Husband’s Confession
I was stumbling last night when I came across your page I found it interesting and started to tell my husband about it all I said was I found this site about these people all have run in with this shadow guy in a hat and he said before i could even answer he said yeah in dreams right I said no while awake he said well when I was like 11 yrs old I dreamed of a shadow man in a wide brim hat and a long dark coat sitting across a table asking me questions and he asked
The White Man
I never knew that other people were experiencing similar phenomena! I always called "him" the white man as I would always see him dashing out of view or around a corner and he always appeared to look like a white Zorro except i could never see his face. It seems like I saw him the most between the ages of 9-15 and I was always very creped out because no one seemed to see him or experience similar phenomena. Maybe it was my developing mind experiencing some kind of malfunction, creating false images, but it was always a very distinct
I Think I Saw Jesus
Hello, just came upon your website this late night/early morning. I saw a shadow man on April 7, 2009 (4-7-9) but think it was Jesus. I wasn’t religious at the time, but was trying to become a better person. Must have slept with 10-12 prostitutes during my military years and after that, I wanted to stop doing that stuff, sinning. So one night in my motel room I wrote down a list of all the sins I had done in my life, for example sleeping with 12 prostitutes = 12 sins of my life, and being angry a lot counted
It’s Not Grandma
My experience with the Hat Man was when I was 18 and living with my Grandparents in California. I don't particularly remember and an unusual circumstance in my life at the time, but this was over 20 years ago. I can say that I wasn't on drugs or taking any over the counter meds and was sober. I was however asleep, but I don't believe it was sleep paralysis and I'll explain why. I am usually a heavy sleeper and do not wake up in the middle of the night. I also don't like to sleep with the door open
