Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.
This week we're looking at the Hat Man. Waking up in the middle of the night to the feeling of being watched is always terrifying. But what if you can't move? Who's that guy looming over the bed? It's the Hat Man, a terrifying sleep paralysis entity, coming to keep you company. Who is the Hat Man? Why does he appear? What does he do while he's there? Listen in to find out!
