Do this exercise:
Close your eyes, then imagine yourself as a being of very bright light.
Light so bright that it practically whiteout everything, your room, your house, your town, the entire plant,
so bright that even shadows couldn't exist or cast itself.
It would be easier if you have the lights turn on at first just to reinforce the idea of being bright,
but overtime you must need to be able to pull it even in a darkroom.

Visitation from these entities is usually accompanied by buzzing/vibrating noise.
Or by a sudden oppressing/foreboding feeling of oppressive terrror or malignant intent
By then activate your "lighthood", and watch as these entities vaporized before your overpowering brightness.

Gel Mir

Thomas is right.
If you're having sleep paralysis don't open your eyes.
Try to relax and go back to sleep.
You may feel like you are floating (or falling), relax your body and just ride it off.
If you fall back into sleep, you could end up having a lucid dream.
If you try to "stand-up" from your bed, you will have an "OBE (out of body experience),
which i think is also a lucid dream but its happening in your immediate environment (like in your bedroom/house).
During lucid dream/obe you can practically do whatever you want (fly, enter other people's house, etc).

If you are a bit more adventurous then try to wake yourself up,
but then immediately close your eyes and focus on the fractals, colors, and shapes in underneath your eye lids.
This will lead to DMT/Ayahuasca like trip (eg; hyperspace tunnel, disembodied fractal faces, slithering snake-like figures, non-sensical "enlightenment" (a feeling of profound enlightenment or realization of some profound knowledge that doesn't really make any sense if you think about it),
if you go into the tunnel much much deeper, you might find yourself entering into "another world".

Saying the Name of JESUS is the only way to break sleep paralysis and encounters with these demons. I have had this happen to me on several different occasions, and they left immediately when I started saying JESUS, even though I couldn't speak. I started saying it inside of me, and when they fled, my mouth opened, and I was immediately speaking His Name out loud.

"The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven.”

~ Luke 10:17-20

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

~ Ephesians 6:12

I identified the Hatman as Death before.. Idk why I associated featureless tall entity + big hat of some kind to be Death itself.. but I do know it attracts all darkness thats why we cant really see that much even encountering it like.. face to face..

I still hate that image.. but I never once thought it was evil.. more like neutral.. hence why I thought it was death. But still.. I was paralyzed at that moment..

The reason why it was not that impactful to me is because I don't really felt the fear, it was more like announcing its presence and just let me go. Like some sort of intimidating General.

I dont know if there are cases like mine where they don't necessarily fear the Hat Man but it's certainly a curious case when I shouldve been as scared as what people expirienced.

Also I felt like.. Ive met the entity before.. but in another form in my nightmare / foreshadowing dreams.. and theyre associated with deaths of prominent people and people I know.

can't think of a good username

My sleep paralysis experience went like this:

Was sleeping and suddenly felt a presence laying beside me. My body was unavailable to move and when I looked hard right, I just saw a big dark shadow with 2 red eyes.

I then saw the shadows fully covering my vision. Like I was being covered in very dark blanket.

When I was finally able to move, I gave the 2 eyes a hard smack using my elbow then stood up.

It was gone.

@Matt G actually I started having sleep paralysis as a kid and discovered what that was only after years

Double M

What if you slept with dim lights on? Shadow people shouldn’t be able to lurk in no shadows. Or sleep with all the lights on and use a sleeping mask. That way you would know if it’s truly in your mind or lurking in your room. Big difference in my book

Double M

Dude I bet. I’ve had it a handful of times. Never during a nightmare or anything just like holy moly, I can’t turn on my bedside light . Super vivid but can’t imagine this clown hovering over me in complete fear. NG

Years ago, my daughter and I both saw Hat Man at the same time out of the corner of our eyes when we were in conversation and wide awake. Because we were wide awake, this is clearly not just a sleep paralysis phenomenon.

The hat man is not an hallucination. He is real. Definitely evil.

I had a different experience with the hat man. When I was six or seven I woke up and walked around for my house, I was concious but it felt like I had no control of my body. I went to my mom's room and just stared at her sleeping, then I went to our living room and just stared into a corner. Awhile later I walked back to my room and that's when I saw him standing by my bed. He didn't seem human, it was unnerving. I walked up to him and I swear he whispered something to me. He lifted his finger and just lightly tapped my forehead and I fell half on the bed half off and fell asleep. I woke up in that same position the next morning. I never really thought about it until I saw this video.

Yeah, I saw this I'm broad daylight in the middle of the day so it definitely had absolutely nothing to do with Sleep paralysis. Also, I wasn't the only one who saw it. I was with 5 of my friends but only two of us saw it. We both had some innate feeling that made us both turn around at the same time and see the exact same thing in the exact place. A completely black figure wearing some sort of coat and larged brimmed hat walking down the sidewalk. It was in mid stride then disappeared behind the house that was next to the sidewalk. Me and my friend then immediately looked at each other then immediately ran to where we saw it. There was absolutely nothing. There was no cars parked or anywhere someone could have hid behind. Just a long sidewalk with a wall next to it until the next block. I still have absolutely no idea what we saw but I know it wasn't normal. How exactly would two people hallucinate the same exact thing in the same exact place at the same exact time?

I agree with you I saw a shadow figure without a hat in broad daylight on my way walking to my uncle house I was looking in my phone then I looked up and saw somebody dressed in all black so I wasn't carefully paying attention I looked at my phone again I was three houses away from my uncle house than I looked up and saw a person dressed in all black getting close and closer I stared at the person till they walked across the street my hairs was sticking out and I got the goosebumps it was a shadow figure floating like it was walking in front of my uncle house playing with me, it hid behind a tree, and peeked at me than I looked behind the tree it vanished.

ive seen it twice as a child and ive never had sleep paralysis with the sighting…..however ive had plenty sleep paralysis episodes and never did it cross my mind of anything supernatural, all except this one night in particular. I was fully conscious and i could not audiably scream, yell, talk….i would literally speak words and not a drop of vocal sound would come thru.

Out of all the sleep paralysis episodes I've had, I've only seen him once. In my paralysis state I saw a tall black silhouette with a wide brimmed hat. All I could see in the room was darkness and him. Though I never saw him get closer to me I felt like someone was trying to drag me off the mattress (no frame) by my feet. In my head I kept trying to scream and flail but I couldn't move. Eventually I either fell back asleep or became unparalyzed, I can't remember. But I didn't share it with anyone as I didn't really share my sleep paralysis with anyone. But then Netflix had a documentary about it and so many people mentioned this same man I had seen. I was terrified because honestly all that did for me was validate that it wasn't my imagination. Luckily I rarely have episodes and I don't see the man anymore but I know what I saw and felt was real and I just want to know who and why he is.

@SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST I did it the EXACT same way in my dreams!

@Critical Masstrue it is more common to see this figure but let me tell you what happened to me.
At the time when this happened I was not religious. I was actually studying physics in college and very into science. Still am but anyway, as this thing was standing behind me, it would not let me look directly at it. I could only see in the corner of my eyes and it kept pushing my head away from trying to see it.
I just had a feeling of pure evil and it was getting harder and harder to move the more it pushed back at me.
There was nothing I could think of so only thing that came to mind was to say “Hail Mary”. Soon as I said this its grip weakened,so I said it again and it got even weaker. So then I said “Jesus Christ” and it instantly vanished and I could move. I stood right up and woke up my wife (girlfriend at the time).
So yes encounters with religious figures are much less common, but this showed me that there absolutely is a God.

I just found out about this dood and I had a experience when I was like 11, but I don’t think I was sleeping
I was at my dads old house in the living room on a chair it was late at night, the tv was off with no light and I looked out the window to see a man in a trench coat with a wide brimmed hat, I don’t even remember being scared because I was so young but he was standing in our front yard in front of a street light, I couldn’t see any features he was all black. All he did was stand there not moving and I eventually fell asleep and woke up to nothing being there in the morning
I’m a bit creeped out now that other people have seen stuff like this, while they are sleeping tho

When I was a kid I once woke up at night to see a man in a hat standing next to my bed and I heard the sound of an almost empty pen scrathing on a paper. As if he was writing something on the table. I remember it so vividly.
It's pretty exciting to see that this hat man is a worldwide phenomenon.

u_u

when i was around 6 i saw a tall shadowy. figure of a man around the staircase of my house. and around the hall. i think i remember it being close or around my bedroom too, but it just really scared me for some reason. there were no other tall men around the house to my knowledge, and even as it got close it was just a shadow. no face or nothing. it looked around 7 feet tall and lanky.

I had never heard of the Hat Man until a few years after my mom passed away. Eerily enough, there was a night was with her in the hospital and she started talking about a black clad man with a big hat who was accompanied by a “monster,” in her words. There was a moment when she went into a panic because she said they were “in the room right now.” She passed only a few weeks later, and I really just chalked it up to the drugs she was on at the time.

Now, however… I’m a bit more skeptical, especially considering her detail of specifying the black hat. I’ve never been one for believing much superstition, but this one genuinely gets under my skin.

To all those with sleep paralysis a clairvoyant lady told me to just relax, breathe deeply and send out thoughts of white light and love to the universe and b4 you sleep ask your guardian angels to have your back,.. I did this and it cured my sleep paralysis .

I saw the hat man around ten years in a hotel room. He was a bit different to what people describe here as he was smaller and had more defined features. He was there for a few seconds before being surrounding by blue light and evaporating. had anxiety for a while but I am no longer frightened. I haven't had another experience like this. I think it is fascinating that so many people from around the world have had a similar experience.

OH MY GOD FINALLY!!!! AFTER 18 YEARS I'VE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME ECPERIENCE AS ME!!! I'm shaking. Flat brimmed hat. Long coat. Completely immobile but different than sleep paralysis. The embodiment of feeling fear, death, scared, afraid, helpless, among something so powerful you are nothing. I'll tell my story if anyone wants me to type it. It's something I can never forget.

What's highly strange is that everybody that has encountered hat man have all described the same things, and all over the world. Can't explain that, I thought I was losing my mind when I encountered this thing. In my encounters it started off as shadow people outside the house that somehow made their way in the house then in my bedroom. Then hatman appeared one night and flung my bedroom door open and started choking me. After that he just kind of stood there every night. I have slept with a light on for over 4 years, can't see him when the lights are on. I don't know what that thing was that plagued me but I'm just glad to know that I haven't lost my mind and hallucinating.

That was most of my childhood until my teens. It was recurring and I only managed to fight it off once. And yeah it would be outside and find its way in. He would stand there and the smaller shadow beings would attack. For the longest, I told no one but my mom. Sadly she never took me seriously so I suffered in silence.

It’s weird cause my mom experiences this entity but in a calming way. She’s never had sleep paralysis and he’s always given her a sense of comfort and protection. He doesn’t have red eyes, he’s always silent and he just stands at the foot of my moms bed.

When I was in my moms stomach, he disappeared all those 9 months. And then when I was born, he’d stand at the foot of my crib and my mom told him that he’d better protect me now too, and so as I grew up apparently she always saw him at the foot of my bed a lot. He now follows her around again and I’ve never EVER seen him at all.

He never touched her or anything and he looks like he’s from an older time, she says that’s what his hat makes her think of.

And now she’s finding out that everyone is having these experiences but in just a way more negative way so I started doing research for her. It’s odd that she has such a positive experience with him and all these other experiences are negative and nerve wracking :\

I used to have sleep paralysis, but that was before I started taking anti-depressants. I haven't hurt myself in a lot time, but I generally do disturb objects. It's not as bad as it used to be. In the past, I have thrown object while I was asleep or trying to wake up. I usually was trying to defend myself in the dream just to wake up to realize that I actually threw something. I don't remember anything about a hat man. People across the world and in different cultures do share deeply rooted feelings. This might help explain the hat man thing.

I've had sleep paralysis hundreds of times and have come to the conclusion that what I see are dreams. For instance, I would dream of awaking but not moving, but some things are off when I do wake up, such as the direction I was sleeping in. I remember in one occasion, I saw my brother walking up the stairs as I attempted to plead with him to help. Turns out he wasn't home. I have even had some really strange ones where I would glitch through the walls and floor but not be able to move and would glide around as I lied flat like a bugged out character in a game. However it's not just a normal dream, I am fully conscious and fighting to move or speak. Perhaps it's some form of lucid dreaming in a state of paralysis. It's also accompanied by an increasingly louder tinnitus sound which makes me lose consciousness. And it comes in waves. I tend to be afraid of sleeping again, but it occurs when I'm already very tired. I'm most afraid of the tinnitus sound that drives me unconscious because no matter how calm I try to be, right before losing consciousness, I have this feeling of dread that I am about to die. It's also unbearably loud.

@BushidoKi hat man is extremely weak physically. He does not do well in a physical confrontation. Laugh at him.

Hello my friend. The only answer is through. I’ve been here. Embrace it and look for it. Panic is the hardest feeling to run towards. But once you can it all changes.

The Arizona Joker

You have no idea what you are talking about

BushidoKi

the hat man has nothing to do with dreaming, at least the one I saw, the reason I know is both me and my brother saw the hat man when we were kids, my brother screamed after the hat man walked away and went to the back of the house, it was in the middle of the night, it was so real, i thought it was our uncle coming home late walking to the back. whats crazy is when he opened the door it was raining and lighting behind him, when he walked by the boots sounded like metal clinking or chains I cant remember exacly but it was metal like. i read more stories about the hat man and many people talk about the metal sound, this is not a hallucination, call it what you want but its not that, Im down to call it some kind of millitary device or alians if people cant accept its a demon or ghost, but a hallucination is not it.

I’ve experienced sleep paralysis throughout my life with glimpses of solid black figures in my periphery. However, my most recent episode was of a shadow person choking me in my sleep. I remember seeing a tall figure standing at the foot of my bed for a split second before it leaped at me and began choking me. I kept my eyes closed, but I could feel the tangible strength in its cold, oversized hands. It was so real that I thought an actual intruder had broken in to my house. I know it can probably all be boiled down to hypnagogia, but that doesn’t change how these episodes are perceived as they’re happening. It’s like experiencing an exact simulation of what it would be like for an ominous man to viciously attack you at your most vulnerable state. The experience itself is very impactful. It’s not the kind of the thing you want in your memory bank.

Super creepy, one of my relatives on my mum's side had this happen repeatedly, waking up to a shadowy man, where she was paralyzed and couldn't move. Was only ever one figure, who also floated above, or stood on or kneed on her. She started to lose weight from the stress and they moved her out and the visits stopped. Never knew about the multiple sightings though.

I have seen him in my childhood, but he appeared to me more when I was an adult. He drove me to a point where I was questioning my own sanity. I knew I wasn't going insane when other people would ask me about it. One night I saw him, I got so angry, told him he was doing a terrific job at bothering me, told him he was intruding, told him to ef-off, this is MY HOUSE and if he wanted a war he had it! He has not bothered me since, only others when they stay over lol

I used to have sleep paralysis about twice a week, I'd get horrible nosebleeds that sometimes seemed like my nose would never stop bleeding, the basement door would open and close by itself and you just felt an ominous feeling looking down from the top of the stairs into the basement... Moved about 30 minutes away from that house and don't have sleep paralysis or nosebleeds anymore...

Had sleep paralysis some days ago: there was something tall and thin, and it was very close to me. There was also a yellow light coming from an open door behind it, althought there was no real door nor room there. I'm used to sleep paralysis, so I was not that afraid, but, for some reason, I identified the figure as a bear (the animal); however, I don't think a bear would fit the description that much... Maybe it was the hat man, but without a hat ?

Also, I tend to have sleep paralysis when I don't sleep sideways. Don't know why, tho.

Sleep paralysis can be scary but it's not scary once you learn why it happens. Once you understand its its more of a minor inconvenience than anything. It can also be used to lucid dream. Don't panic. If you want to escape wiggle your fingers and toes or hood your breath

Whenever I sleep on my back I get it. But the hat man only has happened to me once when I lived in this apartment with my family. Think I was like 6? My older brother and I shared a bunk bed and he finally let me sleep at the top that night. I’ve told my family about it like years ago and they said that they used to see weird things and believe that our apartment was built over a farm

One thing is to have sleep paralysis other things is having this black figure hold you in a sleeping mode ...

@Jahrhome Aekaz I think you were visited by something other than a Shadow Man. I can't say specifically what it was but I've never heard of one having a distinguishable face. Please keep yourself protected and look into your and your families past. It may help with understanding why you were selected for a visit.

@J LaRose it visited around 7pm at night. I heard my dog barking repeatedly so I went to take a look.when I did though the first thing I seen was the hat man standing right behind our small fence ( chest high) illuminating in the street light. I was in utter shock to what it was because even from 10 metres away it did not look human. I went to get a metal object because I was to curious to not know what it was and felt like I had to protect my dog. As I got closer and closer I still couldn’t make its face until about 2 metres away I got little glimpse of its face. It was Scrunched up and evil. Right after it instantly vanished. Only me and my dog had reportedly seen it

J LaRose

@Jahrhome Aekaz Please provide your experience.

@J LaRose “go away” it smurks at requests or orders. I’m sorry but coming from someone with a serious encounter with one I think it may come back. If it does make sure it’s the last time

@BushidoKi its still mind blowing to me, because I wouldn’t believe in this stuff if it didn’t happen to me… I find it really interesting though and kind of cool at the same time.. makes me wonder what other stuff is out there

I’ve had sleep paralysis many times because of the powerful medications I take. The first couple times my heart was pounding so hard it was hurting my neck and was probably really bad for my cardio. Now when I get sleep paralysis I just try to struggle my way out of it and eventually wake up. The way I managed to wake up as by lifting my arm up. It takes like four tries. It’s no longer a big deal. I have definitely heard voices and thought I had been asking for help from my wife but apparently I was just laying there mumbling. Many times I was positive that the TV was on or that I had been shouting for help when really I hadn’t had any of those things happen. It’s amazing how terrifying it is when you’re not used to it. Like you think you’re dying. I have never had the experience of thinking “others” were there though”. It is some thing that has been there since the beginning of time. People have always had that weird feeling that they were under attack. Because it is very uncomfortable not being able to move and it feels like you are being held down. Oddly enough though it is something you can get used to and not even sweat it.

One of the best ways to get out of sleep paralysis is to start trying to wiggling your toes then to feet just keep Trying move your body by going up

CJ

@Rev. James Costello easy to say. But frequently when I’m sleep paralyzed I’m confused and don’t think I’m really asleep and feel real tired and am just laying there wondering why I can’t sleep trying to clear my mind. Sometimes I’m so confused I’m trying to sleep and in an old apartment or home and nothing seems off. Just the annoyance that I can’t sleep. There’s levels to the conscious in sleep cause I usually wake myself up cause it’s quite uncomfortable. But sometimes I don’t even know I’m asleep. Just like the other day where I thought my wife was asking me a question and I was telling her I couldn’t hear her over the fan. In my mind the room was shaped differently and when I awoke I was genuinely shocked that I hadn’t just earlier talked to her and I remember seeing she opened the window. It’s a weird feeling having only half your mind asleep. It can manifest in many ways. The worst of which is when you are when you are scared and fighting it. It’s a spinning sensation that’s hard to just roll with. Doable, but usually just easier to wake up and try to start the process over again.

Or how about not struggling? Just say to yourself, this is a dream. Relax, go with the flow, go back to sleep and you will wake up in the morning to daylight and birds tweeting.

I get sleep paralysis here and there. Usually it will happen a few times in a row, then it won’t happen again for a few months. The scariest hallucination I had was that I was being dragged up a staircase in the air sort of, like floating by this demonic looking corpse man thing. It smelled like grass clippings and death.

I can’t really explain it much better than that. Sleep paralysis is awful.

Ive been in the presence of that hat man a few times. Its the most terrifying feeling. It reminded me of the aliens in "Signs". Just a hostile and creepy presence. The fact that you were still asleep and couldnt do anything about it being there was the most frightening part.

I've had sleep paralysis so many times since I was 14 it's easy to realise when it's happening and break out of it now. Sometimes I even let it go on for a while on purpose, I've never seen any figures in my life or hallucinated at all I just get a big rush of adrenaline and fear. Hard to explain it in words.

This has happened to me multiple times over my lifetime. Even though I've never seen the eyes...the paralysis is frightening. At times, I've been told that I've screamed "You aren't supposed to be here." When I wake up I am so confused and simultaneously relieved that I am awake.

This is really bizarre. I had two experiences seeing this entity. The first time, it walked across my room at the edge of my sight, hung it’s hat on a stand that didn’t exist, and said hello in a very strange voice. The second time I just remember a blue and waking up screaming. I had no idea this thing was so widely known

He only shows himself to those that are either threatened by a demonic entitie or to those whose lives are on a downward spiral. He is there to scare some sense into you.

This happened to me, and it was my first time experiencing it, I was paralyzed, my whole body is frozen as if there was holding me back from moving. My eyes are half wide open and as I turn my eyes at the foot of my bed, there was a man with a hat staring at me. It was a silhouette, but I knew that they are looking at me. I was terrified and called for help, but I can't utter a single word, still I fought back and successfully screamed my mom's name....

Spartan007x

I remember some kind of shadow things to get me its like I was to afraid to look at a certain direction. But when I faught my fear and looked, it got worst as if it was mad that I broke the fear than I fought back more to move. It set a odd chain of events till I no longer got stuck.

This happened to me as a child. I saw the hat man by my bedside doing weird gestures at me like some kind of sorcery. And he had a face but it was very obscure and it appeared that his paleness peered through the shadows. I could not scream for my mother although she was sleeping right next to me. At the last of my recollection I was thrown out of consciousness and felt like I was being pulled spirally downward until I awoke the next morning.

Ms Green

They would pull me down a spiral staircase. It was dark and had amber color tiles on the wall. the stairs looked like marble and the rails were iron. further I was dragged the darker it got.

Something that I always found interesting before dementia/Alzheimer’s took my grandfathers life, was that he would claim to see a man that look just like this. He even carried on conversations with him towards the end. He never said who he was but he claimed to know who the man was and that we did, too. I genuinely am curious who it is that he saw and what he said to him.

True Story: I’ve seen the Hatman and Shadow people in my Room as a child. Shadows on my wall were relatives, famous ppl, and strangers. Most Creepy part about this: I discussed this with my brother and sister separately as we grew up. We both slept in the same room, alone as children at separate times. My Brother and Sister BOTH saw the same images of Shadow People looking like relatives and ppl in hats….

I've seen a shadow person a couple times. Once when I was a kid it slowly came closer to me until I just shut my eyes until the sun came up. Then a couple years ago, It tackled me when I sat up in bed and slowly absorbed into me. It was weird because my room was really bright that morning and I could see it clearly. It didn't wear a hat though so I'm safe.

I’ve seen it when I was 13. I always brushed it off as me being crazy but now it’s so weird knowing more people have seen it. When I seen it I was awake, sitting in front of my tv. When they tv switched to commercial I seen him in the reflection standing on my bed. I ran out of the room and my dad brushed it off as someone’s shadow outside, but we lived on the second floor. Just adding this incase anyone can relate or something. At the time I was playing around with spells I found online and thought they didn’t work. Also I found a witchcraft book under my step moms bed, but when I told all my cousins and they asked me to go get it, it was gone. The only other weird thing that happened at the time almost every night I would wake up and throw up with super high blood pressure. And that hasn’t happened to me since.

And the second time I came out of my room, and seen a raccoon looking rat run into the bathroom into a hamper. I instantly grabbed the broom and beat the hamper but nothing was in it

I used to get sleep paralysis almost every night, sometimes several times. Sleeping more regularly made it go away entirely. It was terrifying and even though it was only a few seconds it felt much longer.

I have seen this man twice in my life and both times I was wide awake...I saw him first when I was about 3 years old....I always described him as the top hat man. Imagine my surprise when my daughter came to me saying she saw him and when I learned that many people have seen him. I am one of the unlucky 8 percent that regularly has sleep paralysis, but I've never seen him during any of those episodes. When i saw him i was fully able to move and everything. The only thing that sets my experience apart from others is that he comforted me during very traumatic times in my life. He told me everything would be ok but in my head not actually verbally if that makes sense. He even tucked my blanket up under my chin and gave me my cookie monster doll from the floor when I was very little. I still can't explain it but I'm glad I'm not alone.

Two months ago i had an experience with this featureless black figure exactly how it’s described. I was awoken to see it walk past my door and the coat was flowing like it was moving fast but it wasn’t. Next thing I remember I’m laying flat on my back hands to my side, him kneeled on my chest with distinctive sting hands holding my mouth and nose completely shut, I screamed as loud as I could and could barely even make any noise as I couldn’t breathe, for what I can remember was about a minute. I have never had this dream before and haven’t had it since. I understand this could be all in our heads but I still think about it daily and it’s terrifying finding out I’m not the only one

Ask yourself how is it possible that people all around the world have the same dream? Sleep paralysis is a scientist explanation because they don’t believe in the supernatural. I saw the same man wearing a Black hat with red eyes, however I remember a bit more details. I saw his hands and they were huge but another thing I noticed was his finger nails were amazingly groomed. He looked at me and started going towards me in a back and forth motion trying to get a scare rise out of me. It’s as if he was doing it to feed off of my fears. I was laying in my bed as he stood there beside my desk in the corner of my room. I’m 54 years old and had been experiencing stuff like this since I was a child. When I was about 8 years old I remember laying in bed with my feet towards this square box fixated in the wall at the bottom of my bed. One night I felt these hands holding my ankles and woke up because it felt really cold. At first I was too afraid to look down at my feet and when I did my heart started pounding. I was way too horrified to move so I started yelling for my mother but as soon as she came into my room I felt the hands releasing from my ankles. The same thing happened the second night and once again my mother ran to my room but this time my sister came in with her. The look on my mother face confirmed my worst fear because I knew she was seeing what I was seeing. She wouldn’t even come into my room that’s how scared she was but she did yell at me to come towards her. A few months later we moved out of that house but she would never tell me what she saw even till this very day. My sister said that she believed me from the beginning because she was experiencing things herself like, dark shadows in the hallway. To this very day I have dreams about waking through that very same hallway but I’m too afraid to look to the right or left where the bedrooms were. Too this very day I have never felt such darkness, I mean, it was as it the darkness was alive. Now that I’m older I’m starting to realize it doesn’t matter where I go because this darkness could always find me. I have had so many experiences that I could write a few books but I won’t because each time I share my experiences something always happens. Last time I told someone one of my experiences I heard pots rattling in my kitchen. My cat heard it too and now she refuses to sleep beside the kitchen where her bed had been for months. Even as I’m writing this something just moved out of the corner of my right eye. My friend told me that my dreams are the stuff of Hollywood movies. I believe there is a place between the dream world and this world. The world is filled with things we don’t quite understand….yet 😊

This happened to me when I was around 7 or 8 many times for several months. It's crazy that this is a phenomenon around the world! It was exactly what you described, I couldn't scream but I could see him in the doorway and I had to run by where he was to escape. Sometimes he would be on my chest and I would pray to Jesus and I could move! I seriously thought it was a vivid recurring nightmare as I remembered it through the years.

I saw him in 2018. Had a emotional break and woke to see him standing at the foot of my bed. He was tall, top hat, dressed in a black suit with long coat. He had a clear globe in his hand, extending it to me… he said “ job well done”.
I didn’t feel scared. Not sure what it meant, three years later I find this!!!

This has happened to me multiple times, and I had started to dismiss it due to conventional medical advice. But...it happened again two nights ago and my dog, who sleeps on the bed, started growling and snarling whilst I was paralysed. I have never felt such a strong presence and on every occasion I can actually feel the entity move across the bed to get to me. It is definitely a real phenomenon for anyone who may be skeptical.

Brian Lible

@SOL Through exposer I also have brief abilities to sense and slightly communicate with the dead. And no it's not hearing voices or seeing shadows, you kinda create a radar of your energy like a blanket until you touch something else. You then make out the shape and the intentions of the soul.

Brian Lible

@SOL No however I'm a practitioner of demonology. Have studied quite alot and have dealt with a few creatures that were never living.

SOL

@Brian Lible No, it can be months sometimes between visitations. Then it may happen two or three times within a short time frame and then nothing. These experiences go back at least 7 years or more, but when they do occur it seems like each new event gets more intense. Has a similar thing happened to you ?

Brian Lible

@SOL does it happen every night

SOL

It is always at night, so it is hard to give a description. It is the feeling of a presence and the physical sensations of being pressed down, bed covers moving etc that is truly terrifying.

I’ve only had one “sleep paralysis” incident.
I could hear a family member talking loudly to his dog, so I know I was conscious. I then felt something crawling on the bed, over my husband and on top of me. I felt the pressure on my body but I couldn’t move, talk or open my eyes. It felt like it had its hands around my throat and it was getting increasingly more difficult to breathe. I remember trying to fight to regain control of my body, I was screaming in my head “get off of me” til I shouted it out loud and the experience just stopped. I checked the time and it was 3:32am

I had an encounter with a man like this in daylight and he was not of our species. It didn't scare me as I had so many experiences with things in my life with this phenomena and paralysis. I am curious and open to who they are and what they are here to teach us.

If you have ever had sleep paralysis, you can definitely see how it leads to stories of ghosts, aliens, etc. It feels so real, and is uncommon enough that you don’t think “oh yeah, I had that thing again.”

I've seen shadow people in my peripheral vision before plenty of times, But just last week I saw for first time the tall shadow man with the hat right in front of my eyes and then he disappeared around the corner. It's kind of crazy how other people have had similar experiences, I can't recall ever hearing people's stories about a shadow with a hat, this is a first, I actually had to look this up. I also have to say that I don't feel any kind of negative energy from any of the shadows that I see including the one that I saw right in front of my eyes. Also I was awake and at work when this happened so it definitely wasn't a dream.

About a year ago I had sleep paralysis right before waking up in the morning, in day light. I was stoked because it hadn't happened since the first time ten years or so prior. Next to my bed there was a shadow figure wearing a hat. When I looked it up later I found out how many people have seen this guy. He asked me who I worship. I told him that I worship myself, then he vanished and I woke up and felt super good all day.

I’ve seen the black hat man in my room when I was 11 years old. I live in the Netherlands. It stood in the dooropening looking at me. He moved a little from left to right. I couldn’t see his face, he was all black. He wore a long coat and a hat. I also couldn’t move and was certain it wasn’t a dream. It felt like pure evil and was the most scariest thing i’ve ever experienced.

I have repeat sleep paralysis, but it turns out not to be anything evil or wrong doing. My experience with seeing scary things during sleep paralysis is due to my own ignorance. From an early age, we were told that if you wake up and can't move, it's something evil or even aliens and that's exactly what we saw when we have sleep paralysis. But as I experienced it more and more, I realized I was still dreaming and whatever I saw was only my imagination, essentially we are still dreaming. Ever since then, when I face sleep paralysis again, I try not to think of these scary things, but allow myself to think of something else positive. I haven't had any negative sleep paralysis since.

Most people seem to see him when they are young. I only started having night terrors when I was 17. Im 24 now and last night was my first night seeing the hat man and his gang. I had never heard of him until I was researching shadow people today. Him and his gang opened the door, he laughed at me, then slammed the door. Don’t want to go to bed tonight.

I have sleep paralysis pretty regularly. 1-2 times a year. It doesn't sound like much but the experience is more horrifying than any nightmare. When I was young and had no research tools nobody I knew had any idea what it was. I had no idea I was having hallucinations. When I was 10-14 years old at first I thought it was real and was always afraid the things I saw were going to get me. My family called me the boy who cried wolf. I started to think I was insane until I met someone with sleep apnea who also experienced it repeatedly.

I’ve seen him before except I wasn’t in dream paralysis. So I woke up in my grandparents house and went downstairs for breakfast when suddenly my brain told me to look at the corridor outside the room I was in. So I did and then I saw him. Completely black even though light was shining there wearing a hat with a brim. I only saw him for a bit and if I blinked I would’ve missed it because he was running down the corridor as fast as he could. I know I must be right cause after I told my grandparents what I saw, my grandpa told me he’s seen him too.

NZ scenes, and scary stories,

Vlogger Haylee Reece had a good video on him about 4 years ago. It really gave me the chills. I wanted to sleep with the light on. She said if you woke up and saw him and he knew you saw him his smile would get really wide and sadistic. He would seem to get a thrill out of the fact that he's scared you.

I've had to deal with shadow people before and I was so afraid I started sleeping with the lights on and was also scared of even talking about them. But one day I realized how horrible their existence is and it broke my heart. To only live in darkness and feed off it would not be an existence I wouldn't want to have. So I decided that the next time they show up(which was inevitable because my existence is painful and sad), I would show them, love. But they didn't like that and peaced out and didn't come back after a second time.

It actually did happened to me around 2-3 nights ago... I was shaken awake and felt the air being drained out of me... And I saw a violent movement that is around the middle my room, at first I thought it was just my very groggy vision in the dark but I could make out a tall figure... I think how this video described the figure... Yes... Its very similar to what happened... I do vaguely remembered two specks of red though... And after my body can move I stood up almost shouting not caring if I wake up my neighbours and reached for my light and when I turned my light on there was no figure... Just me... And I left the light on and was very tired when I woke up for work.... And up to now im still having difficulty sleeping during the night time

medchemist

I get sleep paralysis once a month or every other month, and half the time it’s exactly as depicted here, feeling a sense of horror at some shadowy figure at the foot of my bed. Other half it’s actually me being “attacked” by that thing, but it feels more like brain zaps radiating down my whole body in rhythmic way. I don’t feel scared; feels more like a bad drug trip.

I had sleep paralysis a few times when I was younger I can still remember the dread and fear that came over me when I suffered a episode I must of only been in my early teens, thankfully hasn't happed since and I never experienced any other presence either 🙏 I did have some messed up dreams about being dragged up a wall and onto my celing by my legs by something invisible which was pritty unnerving at the time too.

I’m sitting with tears in my eyes because I saw this thing and I’ve just searched on what I saw and came to this video. It happened over a year ago. I was getting home in a taxi after having been out with my friends it was weekend. I was sitting in the back of the taxi on the right side staring out the window. Also this all happened in a few seconds because the car was moving. The light had just turned green and as said I stared out the window. And In the middle of the street this black thing came up though the ground like a shadow but in took shape as this 4-5 meter tall man with a very long coat and a hat and I stared right at it and it at me those terrible red eyes. I even moved my head to the back window and it was still there standing still just staring right at me. Then I turned my head quickly back and started tearing up. I can see spirits and all that but it was my first time ever seeing something so big unnatural and scary. I Hope this story doesn’t scare anyone I just wanted this off my chest.

Wow, fairly similar to my experience, I wasn't in a car but was on an empty street, felt that a car was approaching behind me so I looked, and down the road about 100 feet away was a tall man with wide rim hat, trench coat nearly in the middle of the street, almost directly under a street lamp, very tall, and appeared to be staring at something across the street. As I quickly went to look back at the other end of the street see if any cars were coming, or any people, by the time I got back to looking in hatmans direction again it was gone, and if it was human there is no where it could've ran to that quickly to be completely out of sight. It was like it vanished.

Okay, i was looking for something else on web, and came across this. I actually encountered this twice in my life. But after watching entire video , mine was completely different. I've dreamed of a dark figure in brim hat. Was never in my room, never aggressive. It was more like a friendly guide. The most vivid dream was encountering him during the day, on a road and as close as a handshake was completely dark even in the sun. But he was helpful. So weird, to see it's a common encounter all over the world! Same descriptions is really freaky! Man, about 6 feet tall, brim hat, all dark. My guess, is it's a mental image of a scarecrow. Since scarecrows are all over the world, and in terror dreams, things that might have frightened us a child are 'burned' in our memories. Seeing a scarecrow in a garden as an early child was a big deal and didn't make sense! aka 'burned' into our brains. And just like you build a snow man, most people make a scarecrow with a hat.

I didn’t know what I was experiencing was sleep paralysis. Not too often but sometimes I’ll wake up thinking there’s shadows - most the time of bug figures - coming down onto me and it is hard for me to move and react to them at first but then I’ll let out a sort of scream and maybe I totally wake up and come to reality

Frequent sleep paralysis experiencer here. First time I had it was kindov like hat man but the entity had no had, though did bring his shadow face inches from mine just staring at me. Learned to control it after a few times by trying to imagine fun situations that tend to come to life around me which can be really cool! Had it for the first time in ages a few days ago and boom it was sinister again... I thought my mum was speaking to me but then realised there was something sinister behind my mums voice. Then the voice became deeper and started asking me to go with it which I was Got louder and deeper emanating from the corner of my room and I attempted to fight it back off by being more dominant with anger, which made it stop for a bit but I realised it liked this energy. So to beat it I tried to imagine a white light emanating from me and then I felt that light coming from me, and sure enough the voice got weaker and dissipated and then I could move again.

Takeaway is that if you have sleep paralysis remember that you’re more in control of this world than you think. By imagining your reality you can manipulate it, similar to lucid dreaming, so picture something you think will fend off the dark entities and you will often find if you believe in it then it will work

I also have very frequent sleep paralysis and have had the same situations where my mother had a demonic voice but she jumped on top of me and turned into a completely different entity crazy stuff haven’t had it in a couple weeks tho

I had this happen once. Had sleep paralysis one night with only the glow of TV lighting my room. I woke up and couldn’t move but had clear sight of my TV and the corner of my bed. I watched as a complete silhouette of a man slowly rise up from the corner of my bed. Just staring and me and getting taller and taller… Then I woke up. I never thought it was real until recently when I learned more and more people have seen it.

Goddess Athena

My first sleep paralysis episode only had me hallucinate midday-levels of light streaming in my windows at 3am (I immediately realized it was sleep paralysis and fell back to sleep in minutes). But when I did start seeing shadowy figures, none have had eyes nor wear hats or any clothes. Just a pure black apparition or something like a demon from television.

My boyfriend saw it he told me he had yellow eyes and he was standing on the corner of his room just staring at him while he slept and I decided to look for a video to see what I could find but I didn’t expect to find a video like this so detailed because I see this and most of the stuff you talked on the video happened to him… he told me he saw how it looked and how the shadows where like a part of him.

I vividly remember being a little kid and waking up in the middle of the night while at my grandparents house. I barely even moved when I woke up, so there would be almost no way to know I was awake. I heard a voice from the doorway say "Go back to bed Ben", and it wasn't a familiar one. It still freaks me out to this day, I struggle to sleep every time I'm there now.

I used to have night terrors as a child and always woke my family up screaming. Once the cops were called when we were camping because other campers thought a child was being abducted. I told my parents that a lady that looked like a witch was crawling on me and choking me and I couldn’t fight back or even move. This continued into adulthood. In my late 20s, I stumbled across a video on sleep paralysis and I realized this is what’s been happening to me!! It’s horrifying that so many people have experienced what I have. How is this possible? I wasn’t influenced by anyone. This started when I was probably 9 - before YouTube and before I was allowed to watch scary movies. There’s something more to this since so many report seeing the hag during an episode of sleep paralysis. How are we all seeing the same identity without communicating with each other? Chills.

I just start learning about this today. Although I didn't get visited by the Hat man or have any sleep paralysis moments that I know of. But I do this funny thing where i talk out loud and do arm movements while dreaming or half sleeping and I'm aware of it. It's like I'm half sleeping and half awake both at the same time. I can hear myself saying random things. This doesn't happen all the time, But once in a while. Is it just me or do you guys get this weird habit too?

anelis

I never thought I’d experience sleep paralysis, but I did have a few episodes due to lack of sleep and stress and every time it felt so real! I felt like I can’t breathe and something is pushing on my chest and lungs. And I am very aware of my surroundings, but I can’t move at all and almost feel like I am going to die due to lack of oxygen. I read that a lot of people experience these and they feel a presence or see it inside the room , luckily for me, I didn’t see this man.
If u actually experience these yourself, I suggest you to keep calm cause it’s going to pass soon.
Thing with sleep paralysis is that your brain is awake but your body is asleep cause u are still in the REM sleep and that cycle haven’t finished yet. The human body is so mysterious sometimes ..

I saw something like it when I was younger! I was going back to my room after I got up to go to the bathroom. I saw him in the hall and immediately ran to my room, closed the door and hid under my covers. I was terrified!

I seen his animal creature once. I opened my door of my room and it ran into the bathroom into a clothing hamper. I never took my eyes off of it and picked up a broom close by to beat it with and after I beat the hamper for a second, I flipped it over and dumped all my clothes out and it wasn’t there

An uptick in hatman experiences could be attributed to people becoming familiar with the phenomenon due to the internet... Now if isolated tribes or groups of people with no internet access were reporting this... That would be a lot harder to explain... As for physical harm being done to the victims... It's not a jump to conclude that they hurt themselves while freaking out or discovered a wound from something else they didn't notice before, since they're in the extreme minority... I experience sleep paralysis quite often and it's VERY annoying to say the least... Sleep paralysis during a lucid dream is another story. It can be pretty frightening.

I had a dream encounter with an entity my mind refered to as "Dead Man's Shadow" it was humanoid and pretty much looks the way you described this entity, towards the beginning it appeared before me and some childhood friends as we spoke about the legend, there were other shadows behind it, but it spoke to us, it warned to never speak it's name again, years later I spoke of it to provoke it, it attacked me in my dream after doing so, but I killed the shadow entity, but as I did I felt the pain it did before feeling light as a cloud and the world around me faded, then I woke up.

Daniel Melgarejo

My sister and I saw the same thing. He was always nice to us however, seemed like a protector. One day we asked each other and both described him as very tall with a top hat. To this day we still can’t believe it.

I’ve seen this hat man when I was younger & one day I researched it & I was freaked out by the fact that other people experienced the same thing

Luthien

I also saw a shadow person/creature but without a hat and during the afternoon in the light of day while being completely awake. My mom and I sensed it at the same time at first, but I was the only one who saw it in the end. It was going so fast, from one place to another, sort of like space-time had no effect on it , and I had never felt the environment so heavy like that before. Then I looked at the room's entrance trying to find it with my weaker 3D vision, and suddenly it was there without moving starring directly at me with its red eyes, then it left.

So, I am sure it wasn't a hallucination for three main reasons: First, its appearance was as clear as my mother's face in that bright room, except its whole body was dark. Second, I was not sleeping/sleepy. I was 100% awake and not laying down. Third, my mom was able to sense it too because, while I was busy trying to find it, she suddenly turned her head at me and asked me if I could also feel this strange presence and heavy environment, and I said yes. Therefore, had it been a hallucination, I would've been the only one experiencing it alone, but she was also a witness.

I will never forget. I was 17 years old. I'm agnostic/atheist by the way. While I don't believe in an afterlife or spirits, I only accept what is observable and evidenced, I always go back to this occurrence in my mind with confusion and wonder. And I question myself if there is something more that we just don't comprehend that may be related to the reason for our existence in this universe, not just plain nothingness/lack of purpose like most of the time I am lead to believe, which may still be true regardless, but this experience gives me a little drop of probable significance in our reality. I might as well just die and never find out what those beings are, since I would cease to exist, but also maybe not. Anything is possible.

Hey it used to hang around my house all the time for years, I'd see it any time of the day and not just me. My family in the house would see it too, my neighbors, even my cousins would see when they came to visit as well. Im glad we weren't the only ones to experience this demon, we called it the man in the black trench coat.

Something similar happens to my family as well it also happens at their houses we actually have 4 different types the tall man who is only seen outside 1 person who is about the size of an average person he goes in hallways and closets and 2 small ones who go all around the house the most active one we see very commonly is the medium sized one

I've had an unexplainable feeling of terror hit me twice in my life and I know logically there's no reason for it. And both times was as I slept, but I had control over my body.

I had an experience from 8 years ago. My first experience with sleep paralysis. I woke up but couldn't move, at first I wasn't really focusing on anything in front of me but as I tried to make out what I saw. It looked like a person standing over me. All black, I felt terrified because at first I thought someone came into my house. I physically couldn't move and I didn't want to because I thought that the thing in front of me would attack me. Lucky for me, it just disappeared into the darkness. The best way I can describe it. It looked like someone in a black cloak, VERY hard to make out in the darkness but you could see an outline somewhat. I honestly didn't think this was a phenomenon and had happened to other people. I always thought it was just all the junk I had in my room causing me to think it was someone. Another theory i made to conclude what i saw is that due to the paralysis, my mind was clouded with fear. I was in a state where I felt like I was cornered and my mind was there to make it worse for me since I could not see in the darkness all too well.

The experience I had with the hatman, I was awoken from sleep to very heavy sounding footprints coming up the stairs. My door was open and the thing… a man with pointed ears and glowing yellow eyes in a BROWN suit (not black clothing) he walked straight through my room!

I once had a stair incident too, but I didn't dare look at the source of the noise. They stopped near me and then a plain white orb that was clearly visible in the dark appeared and left through the ceiling, but after all the similar stories I've heard, I have no doubt it would have been some sort of shadowy dude
