This video took me longer than usual to film & edit, due to my jumpiness and feeling like I'm being watched by something behind me👀... ENJOY!

I saw this man nearly every night for years between the ages of 5-8. He was terrifying and had red eyes and would literally laugh a deep demonic laugh at me for hours every single night. I told my mom, my friends, and everyone until I realized people thought I was making it up. And so my fear grew and the hat man persisted. When I was around 8 he just stopped appearing, but he’s THE scariest memories of my life and I’ve remembered him into adulthood. I had told my former wife about this entity a few years ago and then just three months ago I saw the YouTube clip of the Ancient Aliens depiction of The Hat Man. It sent me down a Reddit Rabbithole and all over the internet late one night freaking out because finally I wasn’t alone. Most of my family is deceased, but my former wife has confirmed to my current wife that I’m not crazy and didn’t make this up and that yes indeed I shared this scary experience with her years ago. Our family doesn’t know how to accept this phenomenon, but I know from personal experience and taunting that The Hat Man is real.

Hiii and greetings from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I am Sanin.
I've been watching your videos and I was stunned to see the hat man. Basically I thought I was crazy for years as I've seen the same man twice. First time he was in hat, no face visible and a long coat just as yours in video and second time he was wearing hat and Mexican poncho.
He was silent and looked just like shadow without sharp edges.
He was always just standing, once I felt a hard pressure on my chests, unexplainable dark shadow energy. As I was 10 years old at that time, I simply decided and asked him to leave and I turned and went back to sleep. And he did that without any word spoken.

I still think what this could be, still a mystery, my logical conclusion is that this is some kind of Jinn..

It's nice to see there are others who experienced the same or similar.
It would be great that we solve this mysterious hat men all around the world.

Best wishes, keep working like this, so open-minded and refreshing real topics.

I saw him once. I went to visit my mom one night it was around 2:00am. The fact I showed up that late never bothered her as she was a night owl. She was happy to see me and asked for help to fix her phone. The phone line had come loose behind some heavy furniture and it was difficult to reach. At that moment my mood soured, I had became angry at the situation. I proceeded to complain at my mother as I worked on the plug, ever so often turning to look at her. Then I turned and saw him standing in the door way of the room. I instantly realized that this foul mood must of come from it. I wasn't scared of him. I was pissed that it was in my mom's house. I thought loudly in my mind, "I got you!" It disappeared almost like an after image of a camera flash or when you look at the sun and close your eyes. Then I calmly put the plug back in place. And then I told my mother that I just saw ghost. I went and stood in front of the doorway where it stood. Then my mom told me that's were the man in the hat stands. I didn't tell her that it had on a hat.

Never seen such an underrated channel. Awesome stuff man, high quality videos, well articulated and spoken, love this shit dog

[azhustlin]

I’ve only seen him one time. I’m also an Arizona native and it was here in Mesa Arizona. I wrote it off to lack of sleep and drugs, and thought it was funny because he looked and reminded me of the neighborhood watch guy lol. I had never heard about anyone else seeing this or experiencing this until a few years ago. It blew my mind when I heard about the shadow man 15 years later. Haven’t seen him since thank God.

[Pit_Lord]

The hat man is like an old friend. Doesn’t say anything, doesn’t do anything, just sits there. Turn all the lights on, darkness clings to every corner. There’s an odd comfort to it; I’m never alone.

[captainhennahead]

I also met Hat Man. It only happened once, but I’ll never forget it. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. Terrifying... but fantastic. I was absolutely fascinated to find out that it’s happened to others. Wow. Great presentation!

[TheBenJiles]

Here after seeing your sphinx video. Subbed and now going through your whole library lol. Amazing stuff.

7 years ago I tried a hallucinogen for the first time and long story short I had what people refer to as a 'bad trip' - one of the most prominent things I remember was sitting in the car with my ex and looking through the front mirror and seeing a man with a hat and a long trench coat, no distorted visuals, I felt very coherent and was talking but every time I looked away and back he'd be a little bit closer and it had gotten to the point where I was overcome with fear because I knew if I looked away and back again he'd be inside the car. 7 years ago that happen and just last night at 2am my older sister texts me nothing else except "guy with hat?"

[oouziii]

This is random af and iv never explained this before but this video brought me back. I had a dream once, when I was vary young, I'm on the side of the road walking, I see a person laying facedown in the grass on the side of the road lifeless looking, as I get 20 feet or so from the person, he jerks up right without using arms so to be in kneeling position, he was pale, mouth closed loosley as if the muscles no longer work and looked as if the entire jaw and teeth had been pulverized but still in position with skin still lay on top normally. The eyes were 2 times the size of normal eyeballs almost looked inflated or swollen and popping out but completely filled with dark red blood no puples.
Haunts me to this day, especially now that I realize the more I get older the more I start to resemble him physically and metaphorically. I hope it's not me I saw

[lost.namebrother]

I have seen him from sleep paralysis, and looking at a straight at me through the door that was open and he stood, just staring.

But weirdly, I was fine with it, just panicking because I couldn’t move or do anything and I get the feeling that’s he’s there to support me when I was having it.

And feel safe when I’m thinking of him because I’m not alone.

[TheBorderRyker]

I have seen him many times in my life. I’m 56 years old and I first saw him when I was 9. He doesn’t scare me as I’ve kinda got used to him. I have seen him outside and inside, at night and in broad daylight. He just stands, like he’s observing me, before disappearing. I was shocked when I found out that so many other people have seen him. Personally I don’t worry about whether anyone believes me or not. I know he’s real. (6:09 That’s Him!)

[rardedcatthebeast]

I’ve had many experiences with this thing and i think what generates it is a lot anxiety and stress and that anxiety makes you see something that you don’t want to see and it really keeps to in a constant state of stress and it just always keeps you on edge of something.

[leeland]

I'm getting chills because my cousin said years ago when he was a toddler, he saw a man, blacked out profile wearing a similar hat standing over him in bed and was very scared.

[mystifiedmama]

I lived at the lake, graduated there and have seen the hatman twice. First at the lake and secondly in KC many years later. Odd that I’m seeing this and you too saw him at the lake. I was in Sunrise Beach.

[patchrockit]

I experience Hatman at the foot of my bed one night. It was most fear I've ever felt, like a tiger was about to rip my throat out. Never experienced any paranormal before or after. I've actively put myself in situations trying to see him again, like walking at night and seeing a very dark street, so i walk toward it. But it's like I'm not afraid of anything anymore in comparison. And yes, me too. I thought it was just a hallucination, until I started seeing people share drawings and stories online. Mine wasn't wearing a fedora. It was flat-brimmed. the closest i could think was the thing in Jeepers Creepers' hat. A flat farmer brimmed amish style hat. Long coat. Pure black. No eyes or face, just outline.

Long story short, My older brother would usually disappear for days, weeks, months, and then come back because he'd play in bands, goth, go out of town, whatever. We didn't see him one day, but his car was still at home. That night is when i saw Hatman. 3 days later, we found my brother dead in his closet, supposedly hung himself in the room next to mine in our basement. I'm thinking he's a reaper type.

[Schmiko]

Thankfully never seen Hatman however I did have an experience with shadow beings or projections about 20 years ago. Me and a couple of mates were walking back up a dirt road after visiting some friends at dusk. Everything was normal for the first 10 minutes or so and one of my mates (Justin) walked off ahead of me and Dave. A short while later and it was getting somewhat darker and we saw what we assumed was Justin ahead of us so we walked a little faster to catch up with him but passed through him/it. We then noticed that there was seemingly many different shadow like people in groups of 3's, 2's and individuals walking both ahead of us and past us. This phenomena continued for a few minutes and I had an urge to look up to the sky above us. When I did I saw for a split second a triangular craft approximately 50 feet above us with a set of red, white and yellow lights in each corner but as soon as I tried to focus more on it it vanished. By that stage it was quite a bit darker and we could no longer see the shadow beings.

Identical to me. I must of seen the hat man three time before someone started randomly talking about it in my jobs lounge. I do lean more towards sleep paralysis because the times I’ve seen him, my body is completely frozen and only my larynx (voicebox) works. I was able to scream out a very low dull scream before my wife woke me up.
