Hatman in sleep paralysis Anonymous 2016-08-04 13:37:22 Post No. 17992199 [Report]

In sleep paralysis the most recurring "beings" that show up are shadow people. What interests me is the shadow man, but with a hat. What's up with that?

I saw the documentary "The Nightmare" (2015) and he showed up there too, but turned out to be an authority figure, like one guy tried to fight back two normal shadows, he was winning and then the hatman showed up and scared the shit of him back into normal waken state (or at least that's how I remember it).

Here's another really wierd case: in a ayahuasca session, a friend of mine got into a bad stage of the trip and lo and behold, hatman was there. He's never heard of sleep paralysis before that.

So, who is he? why the hat dude? it's out of style.... or at the very least, what would he represent in the subconscious mind? do some of us see the hat as scarier and/or more authoritative?

Archetypal human figure cemented into collective consciousness because this style of dress was popular among many men all over the world when population was risen enough that the world started becoming intertwined

I saw the "Hatman" when I was 7 or 8. I was playing with my new Hotwheels on Christmas morning when I looked behind me and I saw him enter the kitchen. It was easy b/c there's a huge window in the kitchen that basically made it the brightest room in the house. I wasn't really scared but my thoughts were more like "I wish I had an outfit like that."
