When i was little, me and my sister were playing outside and i saw a strange man standing on the corner. The creepiest part was that he was completely black. I could only make out that he was wearing a coat and a hat. Last year i was talking to my mother about it and she said she once saw the same figure in the hallway when she was in her early twenties.
I’m a science guy so i don’t believe in the supernatural or spiritual stuff. But when i read somebody else on reddit had the same experience and people linked the urban legend of the “hat man”, i became pretty creeped out.
There is probably a scientific explanation for it but it still scared the shit out of me.
I saw the hat man in my room one night as a child and I wasn’t on Benadryl. He just stood in my doorway and stared at me. He had no eyes but I knew he was looking at me. I called out for my mom and she walked through him.
I think it has to be some subconscious thing. I have also seen a hat man in sleep paralysis but i doubt it is something supernatural. Like i have a trick to get out of sleep paralysis, i did it and obviously my door wasn’t even open like I saw. Also its interesting that so many diverse cultures have this myth like i am from south east asia and even i have this picture in my head.
What’s your trick for getting out of sleep paralysis? It doesn’t happen to me as often as it used to, and fortunately I’ve never seen anything during those episodes (only heard things like people talking or music playing), but it’d be good to keep a trick in my back pocket for next time. It’s certainly not a comfortable feeling.
So even when your body is paralyzed, you can still move your toes and fingers, keep doing that and slowly you will be able to move your hand/foot. So you just keep moving basically until you “get up”
