It's not a single "Man"

[GuestMan]

Greetings, I really am liking the revise of this website and am glad there is now a forum where theories and experiences can be discussed.

Before I continue, I'd like to assure any readers that I am not psychotic/schizophrenic. I've received multiple psychological evaluations in the past. I suffer from no disorder/substance-abuse issues that would induce hallucinations or irrational thought.

Me and my two siblings have all witnessed one of the "Hatmen" as children, he first visited me at the age of 7. In my room, approximately 3 am. (Satin's hour, heh.). I was entirely conscious and not experiencing sleep paralysis, he stood at roughly 6'4", trenchcoat, wide-brimmed hat. It did not feel evil, merely imposing. (Anything unexpected appearing in your room at night would frighten you, it's the fight-or-flight mechanism.) He was staring at the ground, lifting up a bucket. It's contents are unknown to me. I leaped up and ran past him. Believing it was an intruder. My father ran into the room and the figure had vanished.

My parents and I dismissed it as a vivid a dream, although the image haunted me for years. This mysterious man, appearing in my room at night. Then years later another night when I was 12, I looked into the mirror above the fireplace. And there he was again. Leaning over the banister, staring at me. I immediately recognized the figure and turned to the banister and called out "YOU!!". Nobody was there, but I saw him. Clear as day, or dark as night. (Hah.) It was 1 am, I was not sleep deprived. I ran up the stairs and searched for him, assuming he fled. I could not find him.

Years later, (about 8 months ago.) I began to research the shadow beings and I found an illustration. Of the figure in the Hat. Chills ran throughout my spine, goosebumps rose. It WAS real. This creature, he wasn't a dream! I immediately began research and conducted an amateur paranormal investigation. My fear attracted him once again, one night. I sat on the couch alone in the living room, staring down a dark hallway that leads to my garage, bathroom, and laundry room. I could sense something. I held my camera. The presence, it felt familiar. It was in the bathroom. I began taunting it. "You coward, only willing to appear when one is incapable of defending themselves. Reveal yourself, I know you're there. Feed off me now, you fucking parasite." Then, something peered out the doorway. A transparent silhouette of a man in a hat, I witnessed it with my own eyes and saw it on the camera screen. *FLASH* I took a photo, the light repelled this creature as it quickly retracted into the doorway.

I heard a growl. "You don't intimidate me." I said calmly. I wouldn't allow my fear to fuel it. Then my camera mysteriously died. I threw it to the ground. And sat there. It peered out once more, I looked this thing dead in the eyes. Dead in it's black mantis-like eyes. It finally vanished. I said a prayer (I'm not spiritual, but for good measure. Heh.), grabbed the camera and then reviewed the photo, nothing prominent caught in the image. Slowly I began to perceive this creature more and more frequently.

I realized it was not malevolent but not benevolent either, merely indifferent. It even visited me in a dream once. There was a whole organization of these shadow beings. The hat and coat is a uniform for the highest ranked, some are human beings who joined them after death. Primarily elderly men, it seemed. And the others were foreign, they had human characteristics. But were certainly not human. They seemed to be derivative of the "Grey Aliens". Except they were larger. Below them was the hooded shadows, powerful, but not as powerful as the Hatted-beings. Below them, ones who lack uniform, and below them. Imp creatures, weaklings. The lowest rank, 4" tall, unclothed, skeletal, I believe these were the Grey aliens. Who infiltrate the human government and society to obtain knowledge of the human psyche.

This is all mere speculation, but this is what I've witnessed conscious and in dreams. Appearance of the imp-grey beings seems to precede an apparition of a hooded/hatted shadow. Scouts of some form.

I'll go into more detail of my beliefs and theories later. I am spiritual to an extent, I occasionally practice meditation, psychedelics for introspective reasons, can view auras of living creatures, and can remote-view/astral project to a degree. The bio-electricity of the shadow beings (or spiritual energy if you will.) is much higher then any human beings I know of. Especially the hatted creatures, they are extremely powerful. This is because they absorb our bio-electricity.
They are "psyche-vampires" as some have theorized, this is how they sustain themselves. (Similar to how we eat food for sustenance.)They are not confined to a physical shell as we are, and dwell in the astral dimension. Where human consciousness is transported to via Dimethlytryptamine (Naturally occurring psychedelic secreted by the pineal gland.) on a nightly basis and on a much higher magnitude at death. DMT is the spiritual chemical, this is why we are so much more perceptive to these beings at night. Upon awaking, in sleep paralysis, you're conscious and aware although REM sleep hasn't concluded yet. DMT is still being released, these creatures operating on our dimension at the time. (Absorbing out spiritual energy as we sleep in bedrooms.) become visible.

I study pharmacology and psychology to an extent. There are certainly natural explanations to this phenomenon, but the consistency between reports/experiences exceeds the boundaries of scientific explanation.

Gah, my apologies for all misspellings and grammatical errors. Swim is crashing off of caffeine at the moment. So his cognition and intellectual functioning are a bit obstructed. If any of you are interested in the pineal gland/DMT, there have been numerous studies conducted by scientists and even the government somewhat. Also search for lectures from psychonauts such as Terence Mckenna.

Dimethyltryptamine*

Hello GuestMan,

i think the DMT theorie is a very good thought. i saw it when I was a little kid. DMT is also in plants and when I was a little child I used to eat flowers.
There is also a Theorie with a clock that could influence your brainwaves I belive the show was called the ghost in your DNA.

Wow, the OP is pretty spot on from waht I have researched. I never had any hat-man experiences specifically, but I have had shadow being experiences. Mainly tall lanky ones and a black cloud one. My research on the hat-man I found it seems to be multiple types of beings and not one man. I speculated that the hat and cloak were to make them more human when spotted, btu the rank might be true as well as I have come across the hooded ones.

The beings have experiences were Old and EVIL, but I know someone very well who has multiple hatman experiences and has since childhood. HE stated that when he was a kid that the being would be purely shadow form but always with fedora aht and trenchcoat. As he got older it appeared more detailed. It always seems to wake him at exactly 3:33am. One night he woke up and seemed to catch it off guard and was completely awake, he was screaming to his wife whom he woke up "there he is! I caught him!! look!", he said it appearred like a giant upright skunk in trenchcoat and top hat and ran for the closet before it dissappeared. He said it walked very strangely when it ran and it seemed spooked, like he definitely wasn't expecting him to wake up suddenly.

He said to him it does not feel evil, merely indifferent and that it is a being that he believes was on thsi earth for a very long time, before dinosuars etc... but that didn't exist like we do. I believe because it resides outside of our 3 dimensions, so when we see them we either see their 3-d shadow, or we see their 3-d cross section. I think while some of these are less evil than others, they are outside of God's grace and are parasidic in nature, feeding off our emotions. It's a huge stretch to call them good, if you want to knwo what the bible refred to as demons, or evil spirits, it's these things.

I think the hatted ones are a secret cross dimensional order...like a gathering of wizards....

thus there are skunk looking ones from one dimension, and human looking ones from another...

If you look up the original stories of wizards they were people who could walk through other dimensions to gather knowledge...plus the Odinian wanderer aspect of it...(Odin wandered the world in search of wisdom...he wore a cloak and wide brimmed hat.)

the hatted ones have the power to summon shadow demons to do their bidding, hence the lower levels of shadow beings. since they walk through the dimensions, they can probably be in a dimension into which we can see, but not enter...like a perpendicular or tangent dimension....which would explain why they can walk through walls...the walls aren't in the dimension they are in.


just Ideas I've had about it...

[kathy]

Your Ideas a very good it could be just like this.
I had a dream a long time ago where I walked thru a wall by my self (in the dream).

[evilsin]

yes the first time i saw them there were a few of them. at the time the only thing that I could compare them to were the little guys in the ant hill mob from hanah barberra cartoons
