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.

Encounters With The Hat Man
Hi everyone, I’m new to this community and wanted to share some of my personal experiences to see what other people who have experienced this might have to say about it, I had no idea this has happened to other people until literally last night where I stumbled on a YouTube reel of a pastor talking about sleep paralysis, and ironically in the comments, everyone saying they’ve had many experiences parallel to my own where they had sleep paralysis and once they called on Jesus in their mind, were released from it. I’ve had this happen many times where either
Burnt Faced Hat Man
One night I was sleeping in the living room of my family’s trailer home when I suddenly woke up from my sleep. When I woke I had a strange feeling like something was there with me. I’ve had night terrors as a kid and have had interactions with entity’s before so the feeling was familiar and I knew something was there. Without hesitation, it felt like I already knew where to look. I raised my head out of bed and looked towards the living room TV and my great grandma's plant in the corner of the living room. That’s when I
Another Generation Sees The Hatman
Honestly, until tonight I believed I was insane. This entity made years of my life hell! I remember seeing him as a child I would have been around 3/4, and throughout my teens, he would always be off in the distance and I was petrified to close my eyes. He haunted my dreams for years until I stumbled across a druid man by fluke in the middle of a small forest town in tropical north Queensland at the age of 21 who saw that this hat man was connected to me, when I say he was always with me I
Two Generations of Hatman sightings
My Hatman experience from 30 years ago just came rushing back to me last night. My husband came to bed and told me that earlier that day on a hike with our 12-year-old son our son said something weird. Our son told him that he woke up in the middle of the night and saw a man with a top hat with red eyes standing on the counter of his room. The man was also wearing what he thought was a trench coat. My husband decided to tell me about my son’s experience right before bed. I was kinda freaking
I’m Never Alone Now
I first saw the Hatman when I was a little kid. I don't remember all the details of first seeing him, but my grandmother would describe me as "paranoid". Talking to things that weren't there etc. As time passed, I hadn't seen him again until I was 13 roughly. I had been sitting on the couch, reading a book, with a lamp on. I thought I had seen someone through the sliding glass door which was to the right of me. I turned that off and looked back at the glass door, it was still there. Just standing outside the
What did he want from me?
I’ve seen him off and on my whole life until recently. I’ve suffered from sleep paralysis since as far back as I can remember. I’ve always had extreme anxiety about the dark and going to sleep. This probably caused sleep deprivation at times. I slept with my mother until I was 15 years old because of this. I didn’t have the best home life growing up. We were poor, my mom was sick, and my dad abused drugs pretty badly. So I saw a lot of things I shouldn’t have which probably led to some unresolved trauma. I was a
What Do They Want?
My story started when I was 8 years old. I was walking down my stairs when I noticed a shadow-like figure run out of the wall below the stairs and run through the front door. Strangely enough, I thought nothing of it and continued to walk down the stairs. Then when I was 10 I was sitting at the computer, when I looked up I noticed a shadow person standing in the doorway. Again, I was not scared or anything. It wasn't until I saw them again when I was 15 that I began to question what was going on.
A Large Black Mass
Over the years, I've become fascinated by the subject of this tall Shadowman wearing a top hat. Some say that his appearance is just mass hysteria perpetrated by the media, a global fear of the dark, and the modern threat of terrorism. That just doesn't make sense to me. The first time that I experienced the appearance of the Hat man, I was five years old, well before I understood the media's influence or cared about grown-up political debate or policy. I remember it vividly because it was also one of the earliest interactions I've had with the paranormal. I
The Old Man
When I was around 8-12 yrs old (now 47) I used to see "The Old Man" standing in the door or hallway at night. The Old man was dressed and had the appearance of The Hat Man. I never felt fear 0r nerves, he was just there watching. Then 20 yrs later, while I was teaching in a Christian high school the girls began to tell us about this dark figure bothering them at night, another teacher and myself got the kids together, now both boys and girls, to pray. As we prayed this dark old man appeared in the
