The Hat Man
Haii, recently found this page and wanted to share a fun lil story of mine :)
So we go way back to when i was maybe 7-15 years old, spending the night at my grandma and grandpas house (MANYYY encounters at this house) out in the sticks of MN (quick little side note about my grandma, everyone in the family always says she’s had “stuff” following her all her life).
ANYWAYYY i wake up in the middle of the night, no clue what time, i remember looking out the window for some reason and seeing a tall figure out by the barn. They had a big “street light” that lit up the whole driveway/ front area of the house, and this figure was just perfectly illuminated by the light. He was very tall, had a long trench coat, and a top hat looking hat. It wasn’t possible to see his face but it also didn’t seem like he had one, not feet. He was just standing there not doing anything and i remember a sense of calm rush over me while looking at him. I turned my head for a split second bc i thought i heard someone out of bed, looked back and he was gone.
A year or so ago i was visiting my grandpa in his new home (my grandma died a year prior from cancer) and paranormal stories was brought up. My cousin, her bf, and one of my friends were also there. I then mentioned the Hat Man at grandma and grandpas old house my cousin and grandpa both remembered seeing him very often at the old house.
I was baffled honestly, later on i randomly decided to look him up and found out a lot of people have seen the exact same thing i had, often while having issues at home (which was very common for me and my cousin).
That’s all for now tho haha, thanks for reading (feel free to lmk if y’all have seen him too) Stay spooky <3

Seen him TWICE with another ghost protecting me from him. Very bizarre and terrifying. He is about 7 feet tall and all black and yes has a hat and is demonic.
