The Hatman INTRODUCTION
The Hat Man is one of those things that seems really hard to believe exists until you yourself experience it. Unlike ghost hunting detection gear that is able to obtain viable evidence of the ghost world, there isn’t really anything like that set up for the existence of Hat Man. Is it a myth? Is it an inter-dimensional being? What about the scientific community and the claim of sleep paralysis?
Maybe that’s the most reasonable conclusion, but one thing remains, the experience of Hat Man crosses borders and time periods. There is a blog that is dedicated to people writing in about their experiences with it. The question looming is that if it’s sleep paralysis, how and why do so many experience the same thing?

History and Observation
A number of religions, legends, and belief systems describe what are known as shades, shadowy spiritual beings or supernatural entities. There isn’t consensus on whether these figures are good, bad or something else entirely. Some ufologists believe Hat Man could be a an alien species observing people. Data collected on Hat Man has predominantly been first hand accounts of personal experiences. People describe an entity watching either from a doorway, closet or corner of a room. Most accounts say observation is all that happens, strengthening Ufologist claims.
Other’s claim they are approached on, or the Hat Man hovers over the top of them, strengthening the scientific community’s claim that Hat Man is experienced as sleep paralysis. Yet others claim to also see him during the day time when they are awake and going about their day. Still other accounts state they experience seeing Hat Man during, after or before a major trauma or traumatic event. This connection to Hat Man would seem to suggest a spiritual or emotion driven aspect to the shade or shadow figure not always accounted for.
Describing Hat Man
Physical accounts of Hat Man are that he appears with male defined characteristics. Hat Man is a completely dark entity, most similar to what people could more easily identify as a shadow person. Hat Man wears a fedora, or some type of long brimmed hat. Hat Man appears to be wearing some type of coat, often described as a trench coat. Some accounts say he has red eyes, however, most people say much like his clothing, his face is obscured and they can make out a general outline of where he’s located. Witnesses describe his height being about six feet tall.
