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 Curious Little Bugger
I’ve had this thing call my name out too while I’m sleeping. It scares the crap out of you doesn’t it lol.. Then it’s hard to fall back asleep. Maybe its trying to get your attention or something. Mine too was an almost identical description to yours however I don’t recall seeing the red eye. It looks evil as hell but never really seemed to be all that evil. Just a curious little bugger that spy’s on you and you’ll notice it when you least expect it. Then it will quickly disappear or hide from you. -- Nancy
McDonald’s Hamburglar
My Hatman resembled the McDonalds Hamburglar character a bit only it was a deep black 3ft tall with top hat and was certainly no shadow. The sneaky creepy personality of this thing was odd too. It was like it got a thrill out of spying on me then hiding when noticed. Sometimes I could even see a grin on its face and one big eye looking back at me as it floated away from me. If it’s not here to cause us trouble I would sure like to know what its true intentions are. I never tried to communicate with
“Don’t Let Him Get You”
Growing up in a large family of nine siblings, several of us had bizarre; difficult to explain experiences that I’d like to share. For me, the freakiest was the one that is often referred to as a “shadow man”. Actually, when I was doing a search, I completely freaked when I came across the pics on Wikipedia of “shadow people” but, in particular, the man with the hat. It looked exactly like the one that would appear in our bedroom regularly, for a couple of years at least. One particular night, the thing would appear as it always did, outside
Merlin
I have seen the hat man on numerous occasions in my childhood. Others didn’t see it or weren’t awake at the time. Other times I just felt a presence or saw it fleeing in the corner of my eyes. Sometimes I felt the appearance was female. Most of the time I saw a figure that appeared as a male (because he was tall) and I got so used to it I even gave him a name: Merlin. He was an intensely dark figure and seemed to wear a cloak and a tall hat. He still scared me though. It stopped
Granddad Checking On Us
Several months ago my nephew was staying with me while trying to find a job. Two separate occasions he saw shadow entities. (These events happened while he was home alone) 1st was late afternoon (4:30-5pm-ish) while in his bedroom he happened to glance up through the open doorway and across the hall to the opened bathroom doorway and saw a totally solid black object. It was the outline of a standing person but halfway obstructed by the left side door jamb. When he looked up he saw it for maybe 2 seconds and had the feeling that it sensed that
A Dark Hole In The Darkness
Part 1 I can’t believe this. I don’t know what to say, except, I’VE SEEN HIM TOO!!! This is insane, I mean, to think that people all over the place have seen this thing countless times for as long as we can remember, is absolutely mind boggling. Please though, someone tell me, when you saw him, were you overcome with the most powerful sense of fear and dread you’ve ever felt in your life? I was lying on the floor of a friend’s house sleeping when I awoke to “The Hat-Man” standing so close to my face that I cried.
Night At My Father’s House
I have an experience I would like to share. It was July of 2007 and I had just turned 17 that May. I was spending the night at my father’s house and had stayed up playing computer games like any other night. When I finally did decide to go to sleep, I found that I couldn’t. I must have tossed and turned in bed for about a half hour. My bed is right next to my door and we have a night light on in the hallway (so no one falls down the stairs) and the light was shining in
Creepy Basement
When I was a child, I used to see something that looked like this all the time in my basement, just thinking about it now makes my head spin with fear. For the most part, my whole family stayed out of the basement, it was in really bad condition, and well, my parents were kind of lazy. The place was a wreck, it was really damp and I think there was fungus growing down there. Me and my brother went down there to play a lot, I think I must have been around 10 at the time. Well, there was
Someone Is Watching Me
My family and I built a new home about 7 years ago. My oldest son who is now 14 began seeing the hat man about 6 years ago. He would describe him as wearing a black hat and being mostly shadows. He would wake up with him sitting on the foot of his bed, standing in his doorway or even sitting in his chair. About a year ago I began seeing him. For years, I'd wake up seeing things that was not there. Spiders in my bed, smoke in the house, etc. I'd wake my wife up and my kids
