**The Hat Man** (also known by the following names: **The Shadow Man with a Hat**, **Hat Person**, **The Shadow**, **Shadow Demon** and **Black Devil**) is an unidentified individual who exhibits a terrifying presence to those who witnesses it and displays an array of strange abilities that are deemed paranormal and even supernatural; often listed as part of a shadow being. Though listed as a "human", some organizations believes the Hat Man being above the concept of humanity and part of something much greater, possibly an alien or a demonic creature; in which various cryptozoologists, ufologists and connoisseurs of paranormal/supernatural took interest into the Hat Man's infamous reputation.

Among the claims concerning the entity, some witnesses who encountered the Hat Man described as a "tall man dressed in black clothing" who emits an aura of pure negativity and brings the victims into pure irrational fear. Some claimed they were attacked by the figure and described as a real-life criminal who only terrorizes people in their sleeps. There are numerous reports on the hat figure committing murders across the neighborhoods and sometimes in crowded areas such as cities and metropoles, although no traces of blunt injuries or any kind of wounds are present on the corpses which increases the belief of paranormal/supernatural powers.

## Appearances

### Regular Appearance

According to the reports, the Hat Man's appearance almost remains the same: a tall humanoid all covered in darkness from head to toe wearing a fedora hat (sometimes old-styled), sporting a jacket (or a long coat) and reports claims the creature to have indistinguishable facial traits, although some witnesses claims to have seen the lower jaw of the Hat Man described as "*thin yet long chin, with emaciate cheeks*". Another well known feature of the Hat Man is the creature's unusual height claimed to exceed 6'3" ft (192 cm), though reports may vary and the Hat Man's true height depends on the witnesses' claims.

In most reports, witnesses described the Hat Man possible age appearance around the late 30's to 50's, although some would even dare to say between 60's and 70's. Few rare survivors claims to have seen the Hat Man without the hat, given the moniker "***Hatless Hat Man***" while other witnesses saw the Hat Man taking off it's hat and revealed either bald or short hair depending on the reports. A young boy claimed to have seen the Hat Man to spoke few words to him, showing crooked teeth that are shadowed by the darkness.
