Now I’m sure we must have something on this. But my searching has come up empty. So if anyone wants to move it feel free.

I can’t say I remember hearing about this before but I just found it in one of those very high class (not) spooky mags.

You're correct - multiple versions of figure or specter referred to as "Hat Man" ("Top Hat Man", etc.) have appeared on these forums over the years.

Such figures have also been cited as "Shadow Man" / "Shadowman".

Most of the allusions to these figures are found in the IHTM section.

Here are three substantial threads relating to the Hat Man motif:

The Shadow Man And His Damned Hat

Familiarity with "The Hat Man"

Top Hat Man & Speaking In Tongues As A Child...

NOTE: These are just samples - the biggest chunks directly citing Hat Man.

And yet he hid when I went searching for him. :freak:

If you were using the forum's resident Search ...

The search index's minimum word size specification basically excludes words of 3 or fewer letters, meaning you won't get any hits on "hat", "man", or "hat man".

If you fail to find what you believe to be here using the resident Search and such short search terms, give it another go using Google and specifying this site (forums.forteana.org).

I instantly got hits on the above-cited threads and a few other instances by knowing to do this.
