The black shadow “Hat Man” is a very commonly reported phenomenon, and there are a lot of forums on the internet about shadow people that I've run across over the years.
For some reason, quite a few people report seeing this distinctively shaped figure that looks like a tall male shadow with a wide-brimmed hat, with a detective’s trench-like coat. Sometimes they say the shadow hat man stands in the corner of their room at night or tries to attack them, scare them, or trap them by holding them down as they experience sleep paralysis.
Who is this shadow hat man? Is he a demon or negative energy in a person’s life? Where is he from and why is he here?
I think there are several things going on, and it’s not very super straightforward necessarily:
Some people have theorized the shadow hat man is a type of being or entity who likes to scare people and feed off that energy as a source of “food”.
Then there's this person, Gigi, a psychic on YouTube, who talks about her experience of interacting with and seeing where the shadow hat man came from through a hypnosis session. The shadow hat man kept visiting her room all the time. Through her hypnosis session, she saw where he was coming from by following him back and doing a remote viewing of him. She found he was from an earlier time, in an apartment or hotel room that looked like it was in the 1950s or the 1960s. Gigi distinctively remembered the place had a sense of sadness and loneliness. On the coffee table, she saw a manila folder that said “Watchers”. She suspected that her particular shadow hat man was someone who was involved in a government program, where psychics were being trained to do remote viewing. I thought that was very interesting because it’s the first time I've ever heard anyone talk about their version of the shadow hat man as a being that's traveled forward in time.
From my own experience of seeing interdimensional beings all the time, I think there are quite a few different types of shadow people, and I think sometimes people do mix them up. In Gigi’s case, yes, I do think there may be some government program or something where they disguise themselves or cloak themselves because it’s top secret.
However, I do think that there are many beings that are interdimensional or extraterrestrial species who disguise themselves, and the reason they might look like a person with a trench coat and hat is possible because when and how they stumbled upon us and our dimension, saw our outfits of that time were of the 1950s-1960s style. There is a chance that they thought, “Oh, this is what these human species wear, you know”. As a result, they try to disguise themselves or blend in using what they perceive or think are the outfits we wear today.
Some may actually try to study the human race or may try to get a rise out of us, similar to the movie “Monster’s Inc.” where the cartoon monsters feed off of the children’s screams when they get scared, so it could be something like that.
Even though I’ve channeled information on this before, it's important to know that there’s so much out there and this info is barely scratching the surface about these types of creatures. Because of the limited information we have, I don't want to create unnecessary fear and misunderstanding about these types of beings.
Because we don't understand these beings, we can want to label them in a way that can be inaccurate as it’s based on our limited human perspective. It’s like from the show “Star Trek” where they are seeking out new types of life forms and they have these certain ethics and guidelines for handling new types of life. They don't want to interfere, label, judge or interfere with the development of the new types of forms of extraterrestrial worlds of life they encounter. They try to always come at it with respect.
Just because a being is acting in a certain way that we don't understand or like doesn't mean that it's necessarily evil or wrong. It's just something that doesn't align with us.
It's easy to mislabel beings that we don't understand as being evil or bad, when maybe to them they don't even know they're doing anything negative. for example, humans dig up and cut down trees, or walk on top of grass, all the time and we don’t even think twice sometimes about how the tree or the grass might feel; we just think it's normal but it actually might be harming another being (ie. Earth). We do it without thinking; we buy wood and plenty of furniture and lay out large areas of grass for our kids to run all over.
What Is The Most Important Thing To Take Away From All This?
I've seen shadow people around my bed at night, but haven’t felt threatened by them. I protect myself from negative energies and don't allow certain beings to come near me, so for as many beings that I have been visited by (hundreds), I very rarely, if ever feel threatened. I have had sleep paralysis, but there was not a being present during the experience.
There are all kinds of interdimensional beings and if you feel threatened, all you need to do is say with intention that that being, or any being that does not have intentions of the light, does not have permission to come near you. You can set those boundaries by stating your boundaries with conviction.
8 members of my family 6 female 2 males, that we know of have seen the "Bowler Hat Guy". All of us have been awake during the experiences and he has never entered into our houses. It was never an evil experience just freaky. He stands outside and watches. When we look out the window he is there just watching. My 3 daughters would call me to the window on several instances to show me and there he was. I would send them to bed and ward the house but he would always return months or years later. I am not sure if it was a warning that something awful was going to happen or if he was feeding of…
I am 56 years old. When I was around 9 years old, living in Coeur d' Alene Idaho. We only lived there for 6-7 months. Every night that I slept in that house I had the same dream. I dreamt about a man that was all dark and he wore a wide brimmed hat. It wasn't his whole body, it was just basically his shoulders and head and it was so dark I could only make out the shape of the hat and his shoulders. I couldn't see any details of a face which did frighten me at first. He was trying to talk to me. I couldn't understand what he was saying. The speaking wasn't clear, it seemed garbled…
The Watchers in the Book of Enoch (also see the Bible) include the fallen angels. I would assume this is a fallen entity and the only protection would be the name of Jesus, if one has surrendered their life to Him.
I was woken up last night by someone tapping repeatedlyon my lower back. I woke up and loudly said "WHAT???" to my husband. It wasn't him tapping me because he was asleep. I twisted my head to look over my shoulder and saw a tall shadow figure wearing a brimmed hat standing about 6 feet away from me. No glowing eyes or anything. Just standing there. I looked back at my husband and said "Why did you wake me up?". Again he said he didn't. I looked back and the shadow was still there, but when I looked a third time, he was gone.
I didn't feel scared. It didn't feel evil. It was just weird...
I saw him last night. I had gone to bed pretty early which is pretty uncommon for me but after I fell asleep I had the sudden urge to open my eyes, and at the foot of my bed leaning on my dresser was the hat man I didn't really think much of it and thought that it was probably nothing so I turned the side and went back to sleep after a while I had woken up again but this time the hat man wasn't at the foot of my bed, he ways laying next to me staring at me with some fiery orange eyes me being confused I grabbed my phone and lit up the room and nothing…
