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.

Out Of The Corner Of My Eye
I have always seen "shadows out the corner of my eyes" ever since I can remember. I always get the feeling that I walk into a room a milisecond too late and I see something passing or leaving. But, as far as I know or can recollect, I never saw the Hat Man or anything like him as a child. Unless I was so young that I can't remember it. I told her that I didn't get the feeling he was there to harm the child. My feeling is that he was what I call a "watcher". My cousin and
The Dark Watchers – By Gummerfan
While reading through "MONSTER! The A-Z Of Zooform Phenomena" by Neil Arnold (HIGHLY recommended, btw!) I found the following entry: "WATCHERS- spectral figures in hats and cloaks said to haunt the Santa Lucia Mountains. Every time these weird, eerie beings are seen, it is said they always look to the sky." I've never heard of these beings before, so I tried to find out what I could learn about them. A web search for "watchers" turned up a loong trail of dead ends. I got results pertaining to "The Watchers", having to do with the Nephilim (the race of superbeings
The Dark Watchers: They’ve Been Around For A Long Time
I found this interesting little story recently on the web. Watch what they say at the end... --Duncan From about Avila Beach, through San Luis Obispo, and all the way up to Monterey, runs the Santa Lucia Mountains. Lurking within these mountains are the strange and mystifying Dark Watchers. The Dark Watchers, as they have come to be known, are apparently giant human like phantoms that are only seen at twilight, standing silhouetted against the night sky along the ridges and peaks of the mountain range. When spotted, the beings are usually seen staring off into the open air of
The Hat Man In Brazil – By Jason Offutt
The young man lived in a rental house a few doors from the home where H.W.* grew up in southern Brazil. A few years later, the young man moved out, a husband and wife moved in. Although these people didn’t, and don’t, know one another, they had something in common – they knew something dark often walked the halls of that house. “The male was a young lawyer starting out, while the female was an architect/homemaker,” H.W. said. “They both knocked on my mother’s door a bit distraught.” There were years between the knocks – one in the mid-1990s, the
Encounters With The Hat Man – By Jason Offutt
George was about 10 years old when a friend’s mother spoke of a vision she’d had. A man with a tall black hat and trench coat approached her in the darkness. “She referred to him as ‘Death,’” George said. “That was his name for whatever he represented. It wasn’t good.” The image that story implanted in George’s head manifested itself into his life a few years later. “I had my own vision of this same man,” George said. “He was pure evil with a very cold deep look in his eyes. I had to rebuke him in the name of
Shadow People – By Stephen Wagner
Did you see that dark, fleeting shape out of the corner of your eye? Perhaps you caught a glimpse of a strange entity that is being seen with greater regularity around the world. "What was that?" You were sitting comfortably on your sofa reading the latest issue of Fortean Times in the dim light when movement across the room caught your attention. It seemed dark and shadowy, but there was nothing there. You returned to your reading - and a moment later there it was again. You looked up quickly this time and saw the fleeting but distinctly human shape
