We’re jumping into our coverage on the hat man. So, there are many claims of dark figures that seemingly watch us from the shadows. One of the most prolific and widely encountered being what people refer to as simply, the hat man. This entity has appeared to thousands of people across the globe, primarily at night, and always wearing a hat of some sort. The primary tie in all of these stories is that people who experience an encounter are usually woken from sleep to find a shadowy figure standing over them. The figure is always tall with a cloak and hat. Somtimes that hat is widebrimmed, sometimes short, sometimes a cowboy hat, but it is always on top of his head. He’s always marked by shadows, but in some instances people even report seeing his eyes, red glowing things staring at them from the darkness, and his mouth, a wide, hungry smile eagerly feeding on their fear.
