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.

A Sense Of Dread
Yes, I have seen the Hat Man. I woke one early morning at 4:10am and instantly felt something over me, and there it was, a black face right above mine. It then faded backwards and upwards towards the corner of the room, revealing a long body and a hat like a fedora, the kind you see on Indiana Jones or, dare I say it without sounding stupid, Freddy Krueger. I had a severe sense of dread, and a severe sense that this thing had been doing something to me in my sleep, and that whatever it was doing had woken
My Past Life
I have personally experienced the hatman! Prior to this experience, I knew nothing about the hatman. The night I experience him, I was asleep and woke up to this huge shadow in the doorway of my bedroom at the foot of my bed. I screamed as loud as I possibly could at the very sight of this shadow. He disappeared so quickly, it kind of felt like it never happened. However, as time went by, I really didn’t think anything else of it but at the same time I would have a thought of him to cross my mind every
It Was Evil
About ten years ago I was going through some hard times in my life. I was depressed and felt very alone at the time. In a relationship that left me empty and going nowhere, and a 1yr.old little boy I was at a loss. One night trying to fall asleep, after a fight I noticed a figure in the doorway of my bedroom I turned away thinking it was just my imagination. I never believed in ghosts, or the people that said they have seen them. I turned to look again, and saw a very tall, black figure of a
The Man And His Dog
Hi, I had not heard or read anything about the Hat man until last week. I saw the Hat Man in Virginia, only it was only 4:14 PM in the afternoon. And this one had a large black German Shepherd dog on a very fancy heavy leash. The two of them (Hat Man and dog) stared off over a field. I watched them from my home. I even watched them thru binoculars. Then they were gone. I thought I had just seen death, so I got on the internet and began researching death to find a picture. I found more
My Hero!
I see the hat man every day we don't talk but I don't think he is evil he has even saved me. Once I was around out in the dark and saw him he stood there then he was in front of me and he pushed me over…. I realized I was in the middle of the street and had come close to being hit by a car I wouldn't be here if he hadn't pushed me out of the way. -- Nakamura
El Baron del Cementerio
I too had a similar experience, I was at my grandmother’s house back in Puerto Rico, I must have been around 12 years old, my sister was sleeping on the bed next to mind’s, when I saw the man in the black hat and cape, I closed my eyes and started praying. I heard him call my name; he was so tall he had to bend over in order to walk through the door. I never spoke of it until one day I was at my sister’s house about 20 years or more went by, when she started talking about
Older And Exaggerated David Carridine!
The Hatman… I was 14 years old and was just getting into bed around 2:00 am. My bed laid parallel to two windows, one by my head and the other by my feet. Within in seconds of pulling the covers over myself I caught something in my peripheral. Looking in my window was a tall shadowy figure in a cloak and wide brimmed hat. Although the contour of his body was shadowy his face was fairly clear. The hat casted a shadow over his eyes, which seemed to be a non descript shade of grey. Long thinning strands of grey
Corner Of One Dark Red Eye
Just knowing that other people besides my family have seen this blows me away. I remember walking downstairs and turning the corner to go into the living room when i saw a 3 or 4′ tall black ghost come through the wall, he was wearing a black trench coat and a kind of witches hat or top hat. As it worked its way through the living room it starred at me through the corner of one dark red eye. I remember the “cape” or trench coat had the collar up covering the mouth and jaw. It disappeared into the other
Stalking Shadow
My hat man was around 3 or 4 feet tall with a black cape, top hat that somewhat resembled a witches hat, and a collar that went up covering most of its face. This thing never harmed me but scared the crap out of me for years when I least expected it. I couldn’t look at it directly either. If I did it would float away through a wall or into a closet or something. Although it looks very demonic and harmful it never hurt me or anything. It’s like it curious and wants to spy on you. It’s amazing
