/x/ - Paranormal

>>24203

From what I recall, the Hat Man typically resembles more of a silhouette than a full person, somewhat like a Shadow Person, although allegedly more malevolent. As for actions I cannot say anything with full accuracy, as I have not experienced this entity myself, but I have heard that the entity is prone to stalking individuals, possibly to incite fear. I apologize if you already know this information, but I hope it will inform any future posters who do not possess such information.

>>24203

Got him to visit me a few times. Yes he scared the shit out of me. Wether it's a hallucination or not.

Lived in an apartment building for two years a while back and he was there constantly. never did anything except rush at me a few times out of my peripherals. it was harmless to me and I always acknowledged him and treated him like an old buddy, offering him beer, etc. maybe that's why he was so nice? no idea, but just thought I'd share! oh, and since i've moved to a new house (8 years old and one owner) he is gone, no signs of anything at all here.

>>24223I

Only have seen a shadow person in nightmares years ago, I have the feeling that I have seen the same entity with frecuency in other nigmares but only can remember two times of it.

1. I am in inside the sea, drowning. All is so dark, is a lucid dream and feeling the suffocation of not breathing. Going down slowly, I see something at the bottom of the sea is a pool. I have a terrible time controling my eyes, then In front of my eyes there is a dark figure is strange because it seems like the silhouette is alive and moving fast, it eyes are white intense shining and looking me intensely I am afraid, I know that I have to escape but I can't move is like am dying, I can't remember the last moments but it wake me up. I did a drawing about it but it was bad so I deleted it, just couldn't make it look right.

2. Lucid dream again, the thing is hunting me down, I am running at a place with doors everywhere. There light in the place but the black thing that is inside the dark is turning the lights down, I go for the places with light but then where I am standing the light go off and I have a bad control over my eyes again but it happen to my body too, I can barely move but I walk to a switch in the wall and turn it on, there is light around me now but the thing didn't stop by the light, is in front of me It wake me up.

Not native speaker, so sorry for the grammar

Also it didn't have a hat.

I got taken by one one night.

This happened in January of 2014. I'm a NEET and my mom and step dad left to go visit my sister in Vegas for Christmas. I stayed at home. For two nights leading up to being taken I was getting these weird almost tingling like sensations all over my body. Like on my arms it kinda felt like getting goosebumps really bad, if that makes any sense, and my head would start feeling weird. I would start getting immense feelings of dread, and would start getting scared, but for the first two nights nothing happened beyond that.

On the third night I started getting the same tingling like sensation, and started getting scared, and then all of a sudden I was paralyzed, and out of the shadows of the corner of my room a being started rising(i swear to God I'm getting those tingle/chills right now thinking about it),out of the right corner of my room from the shadows. I tried moving but I was paralyzed, I tried screaming but the only thing I could get out was a like a "croaky" sound. It was the scariest thing I've ever fucking seen in my entire life. period.(and I honestly got visited by some kind of light beings as a little kid). As it rose from the shadow it was looking at me, I could tell, and it started coming towards me, and I was absolutely fucking panicking, but completely frozen, and then the darkness from the shadow just kind of engulfed the entire room.

I woke up and the smoke alarms were going off in my house, and I was filled with the worse feeling of absolute emptiness/loneliness/total fear, I've ever experienced. The whole time the smoke detector was going off I was too terrified to move. They eventually turned off after an amount of time I can't remember, and I felt better. Then they started going off again, and I instantly felt terrified again. This went on for a while, the alarms going off and on over and over again, eventually they stopped for good and I went downstairs.

I walked into the living room and noticed that there were several messages on the answering machine. I played them and they were of my aunts calling to check up on me to see if I was OK. A massive storm had come through and they were all calling to see if I was OK. I thought that was weird because I'm a really light sleeper and storms always wake me up. I was still pretty shaken up feeling but nothing had come back to me about the night before yet at that point, or at least I hadn't thought of it from what I can remember. I went outside and got the paper, there were two newspapers, and limb and shit laying around. We had a serious thunderstorm, and we had newspapers for two days. I went inside and looked at the dates of them, then I went back up to my room and checked my computer and my phone. A day had completely disappeared from my life. So I had either slept for an entire day(something I've never done before), without once waking up to even use the bathroom, for over 24 hours, through a massive thunderstorm.

I lost an entire day of my fucking life. Then I started remembering about the night before, and the shadow creature, and the absolute fear and terror as he moved towards me and darkness engulfed the room. And I went admittedly crazy. Something happened to me, it was real, and the implications were serious. Either I'm absolutely insane, or it really happened.

>>24281

part 2

I kept it all too myself so I didn't get committed, but about 18 months later, the following summer(early summer, it was still cool enough to have the windows open), my step dad is standing out on the porch, and he yells up to me to come outside and look at something. Up in the sky there is a floating orb. It's large, it looks metallic, and it is flashing intermittently. It's kind of bobbing a bit, it looks to about 500 feet up maybe( I could be off by several hundred feet to be honest.), but it's still rather large, and my step dad said it floated in from the west and started hovering over our house and flashing.

This actually happened. I swear on it and my step dad would too.

The flashing has no pattern, it's completely sporadic. It seems to notice that we're watching it, and it goes behind a cloud floating over head, what comes back out is in the shape of a commercial airliner, but it's suppose to look like it's cruising at max altitude, except that since we had just been watching it before hand, we could notice that something wasn't right about it. The speed was wrong for the altitude we could tell it was actually at, and it just moved weird in general, like it was actually hovering, not travelling at hundreds of knots at 35,000 fucking feet. It headed west and then after it was gone, a single engine prop plane came screaming over head at tree top level. It said patrol underneath the wings, I noticed that because I had noticed the plane several times prior when I'd leave my house, it would seemingly follow me. I googled a bit and found that exact same plane belonged to the state police of my state.

What I saw was like no drone I've ever seen, ever. It was huge, and metal, and just an orb that flashed, then turned into a fucking fake airplane. I have no fucking idea what the fuck it was. My step dad and I both absolutely saw what we saw though.

That got my attention. And that happened where somebody else witnessed it too. I knew I wasn't crazy. Then I started noticing other weird things. Like people were following me, and I'd see them talking on radios from time to time. My friends started seeing these things too. I wasn't just hallucinating. It was real. My friend had metal shavings on his doorknob one day, and he said it looked like somebody had been in his house and moved stuff, but nothing was missing. There was a permanent van that was parked across the street from the only cell phone tower any where near my friend's house out in the country. It's the one his cell phone would have been connected to. He was really the only person I talked to on the phone(I haven't even had a cell phone myself in over 2 years now.). Tee van had an air conditioner attached to it, and never moved, and was plugged in via a whole shit ton of wires that led up a telephone poll across the street from the cell tower that my friend would have been using to talk to me.

We saw a guy one time drive down his(my friend's house) dead end road, out in the middle of absolutely no where, and have to turn around, and when he goes by he's in a polo shirt, military/police/fed maybe like a medium reg hair style for anyone that was ever in the Marines. He's talking into a radio and looking at us out of the corner of his eye. My friend saw this happen. The car was like a red middle 2000's buick. The cops where I live don't have an undercover car that looks like that.

>>24282

part 3

My friend also said every time he talked to me on the phone he said it sounded weird. My other friend that I play PS4 with said my mic was always making weird noises while we were playing together. The icon for the mic would turn on on my laptop randomly for no reason. A lady went into my one friend's work at a gas station one morning and started talking to him and told him a story about how friends could just die out of nowhere, and you never know what could happen(I swear to God he told me that, I can't verify that, he heard it, not me)All these weird things got me thinking back to the night of the shadow creature. Then one night I'm sitting around looking for something to watch, and I decide to watch the "Montauk Chronicles" because it showed up on kickass or YIFY's streaming site around the same time. In it one of the guy's started talking about how when he was a kid a shadow creature would come in the night and paralyze him, and the way he described outside of being lifted out of the window sounded just like my experience, and I had never told anybody about it, or ever heard anyone tell any story like it until then. Then I started thinking and wondered if the people following me, and observing me, who were absolutely doing it, other people saw it, I'm not fucking crazy, were involved with the other really strange event in my life. I figured, the chances of two of the most bizarre and unusual events in my life were probably connected, especially since they happened so relatively close to one another(or at least I finally started noticing, it could have been going on for longer). Then not too long after that we start making the GATE connection over on /pol/ and I was also in GATE classes that I have no real memory of, and I start wondering if what happened to me wasn't like something straight up from the Montauk Chronicles. What if it's actually fucking true.

What if I really am a mind control experiment, as are the other GATE kids of us.

I really did get involved in what was suppose to be a mass shooting some years ago, I came to right before I started shooting people and was wondering what the fuck was going on. Still ended up going to prison, but not for attempted murder luckily. My memories from that night are like me watching something on TV or a movie or something. I remember sitting down to play some DoD Source or CS or something, next thing I remember is telling my cat good bye on the front porch, hopping out of my STI, and then everything is like I'm watching it from a camera in the corner of the room, and even though I'm watching, and know what's going to happen, it's like I'm watching TV, and I have no control over what's happening. It's like something else has taken over my entire being, and I'm just along for the ride.

Coming to right before I started shooting was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I think that it had something to do with the light beings that visited me when I was in first grade or so.

>>24283

part 4

Blog posting, sorry, but it all seems relevant.

When I was about in first grade or so, this was right before I was put into GATE, some shimmering light beings visited my mother and I while I was sleeping in her bed one night. I had gotten scared and went downstairs to sleep with her. I woke, paralyzed with fear, but I don't remember being as scared as I was with the shadow being thing. They seemed to almost emit light, and looked kinda like the static on an old TV, like they shimmered or something. Both times I've been paralyzed like this I could still move my eyes kinda, and I remember seeing a couple over my mom doing something with what looked like her stomach, maybe another couple of them at the foot of the bed, and then at least one over me, who noticed my eyes were open and I was awake and he reached out to my face and then next thing I know I'm waking up in the morning and freaking out and telling my mom all about this story. I remember even looking on the carpet for weird footprints. I've always remembered that event, but just chalked it up to a kid being a kid( I only ever told one friend about it in junior high when we were telling weird stories one night), until I started thinking about the shadow being event that is.

Shortly after that visit was when I was placed in GATE. When we moved from the city to the country after second grade my new school didn't have a GATE program yet, it was some tiny country school, they ended up getting it for me the next school year. They brought the program to my new school because I moved to there. That's a fact.

I think that the shadow person might be some kind of legit astral projection program developed by the government/military/CIA/whatever you want to call them. It honestly seems to feed off of fear. I've had the tingling and sensations start to get bad, but I luckily got into Christianity last summer, and I think God, and how I have nothing to fear but God, and I don't allow myself to give into the fear and it goes away. That or it's demon, cult, worldwide elite Illuminati mind control program, and not just some scientific program developed through pharmaceuticals, electronic stimuli, indoctrination and programming as a child, to become legit MKUltra/Manchurian Candidates. To be used as mass shooters, or just for whatever. Or not used at all if they're never needed. Maybe it's more sinister than that.

The light beings were something else. I get the feeling that they're not part of the same group. That maybe they don't have similar interests.

I've had plenty of NDEs. Hell, I had a twin while my mom was still pregnant, I made it, he didn't. So I already came out being on the lucky end of a 50/50 coin toss for even being born. I got knocked off a boat dock when I was 2 or 3(I don't have any conscious memory of this) My biological father was drunk and knocked me into the water. My mom said I was in the water for 15 minutes, my sister says probably for more like 5 minutes. Some random stranger finally found me, he said he found me under a boat, apparently I had been in an air pocket under a boat or something. I have dreams though, and I've had them my whole life that I can breath underwater if I just breath very shallowly.

>>24284

part 5

There's been many other insane things I've lived through as well.

I got really off subject there.

But yea, the shadow man came for me one night. He took me and I disappeared for an entire day of my life. That event has caused me to start thinking about a lot of other experiences from my life that I luckily started getting lots of information about. My reality is completely shattered at this point. Not even joking. I know the events that happened to me are real. And if they're not, then I'm full blown fucking insane. But other people have also witnessed some of these events. Or can otherwise verify other ones. No one was there for the night I disappeared though. It waited till my family was gone for that.

Another night, it was actually the first night I had spent in my new apartment, this was a year or so before the shadow man event. I was laying in bed, and I was sleeping. When all of a sudden, and if this was a dream then was one of the most intense and realistic dreams int he history of man, but a hand came through the middle of my mattress, it grabbed my hand and started pulling me down into my bed. I fought it and tried not to get pulled under. It was relay pulling me in. I woke up with a broken thumb, no shit, I couldn't even pop it without massive pain for almost two years. It still fucking hurts when I try to pop it sometimes and it was 5 years ago! It pulled my fucking hand so hard it completely fucked my hand up. Right where the thumb meets with the rest of the hand is where it actually got hurt, to be specific.

I don't know if it's a government program, demon/angel type of thing, a combo of both, or if despite some of the evidence having been observed by others, I'm full blown insane, and have been for my entire life.

I feel like I'm special though(so much of this also happens to be signs of schizophrenia). Like I do have some kind of purpose. And that I'm being saved for a later purpose that hasn't happened yet. I think that's why I've survived so many NDEs, and why I've gotten lucky over all, even when my luck is bad, I get lucky and don't have to spend my entire life in prison, or I didn't die in a suicide attempt, or I didn't die in a drowning, or I didn't die in a honest to God hand to hand fight over an AK, or I didn't die when crashing my car at over 120 mph with no seat belt on, and etc, and etc, and etc. I always come out fine.

I also feel like I'm special because of the GATE classes. Weird things happen in my life. Weird coincidences. When I think things they seem to happen. And it seems to happen a lot. I think a song and it comes on. I think of a person and they call me. I think of a specific phrase and the movie I'm watching says it. All kinds of stuff. A friend made fun of me for going crazy and getting in a shooting, and lo and behold, I decided in my mind that he deserved the same fate as me, and I shit you not, the mother fucker went full blown crazy, wife left him, took the kids, he went crazy and tried to kill himself, even got involved in a shooting. He went through the same thing I had gone through. Police SWAT team coming in and taking him away and everything. Just like me. What are the fucking odds that that would happen to two such close people in a quiet little well to do suburb like we live in.

I don't even really remember what my point was anymore. I just wanted to share my experience with the shadow being and I spilled spaghetti everywhere.

One more thing, I've only ever told one person about the shadow being. I'm too scared to tell people IRL about it. I know how crazy it sounds, but it happened, and my life has gotten considerably odder since it happened.

When I told my friend about the experience I was crying about it, I was still so fucking terrified that when I actually spoke out loud about it for the first time since it happened I just fell apart. I'm not a crying type of person. I'm more of the type of person that keeps everything inside. But talking about that out loud broke me down.

Maybe I'm just crazy though. And maybe the orb and the surveillance were legitimate, I am a /pol/ack, and I'm a pretty vocal person about things that are wrong about this world, and this country. Maybe that, combined with having a legitimate violent history, actually being a veteran, and having quite a disobedient search history, set off enough red flags to get me put under surveillance. The orb was real, the planes were real, the people following me while I was out and about was real, the van plugged in 24 hours a day to my friends cell tower was real, certain encounters I've had on this site, where people knew who I was, and could follow me through different threads and boards was real, them knowing stuff about me was real. Just about a month ago two men came up to me while I was going out for a walk in the woods. They asked me if I had a gun on me, they then asked me if I had a knife on me. When I said no to both things they asked me if I wanted to go to their house with them for some free Xanax. These were complete fucking strangers, they said they were from the state next to mine. I mentioned that I had gotten lost in the woods, and they said they knew. They then told me which direction my car was, so apparently they knew what I had drove, and I had already been int he woods for an hour at this time. They followed me the entire time we were walking through the woods on the way out. They told me I should be more careful and carry at least a knife on me, "you never know, after all". Then when I got out on the main trail which in view of people driving by, they hollered for me to come back, the older one(one was about 25 or so, the other one was probably 40), started showing me some spot in the grass where he said a turtle had come up out of the ground at. I got the feeling he actually had something else in mind for calling me back and I told him I was really thirsty and wanted to get back home. They were constantly trying to get my phone number too, which I honestly don't have one, not a personal one at least. I have a house phone, but no cell phone. They wanted some email addresses then to try to contact me, then he pulled out some weed and offered me some. THESE WERE COMPLETE FUCKING STRANGERS! They definitely did not look "professional". The younger one had prison tattoos, and the older one had some really fucked up looking teeth, fat, and also looked to be a convict type(I spent 3 1/2 years in prison, I can spot a fellow convict and I can spot prison tattoos.) I think they were hired to try to get me back to their house to get me fucked up and try to get shit out of me about something that I'm not even sure about. Maybe a secret cell number they think I have, or some email addresses they think they don't know about. There's been a plane that circles over head quite a few times when I go out for my wood walks.

>>24286

Once again, this all just sounds like the paranoid ramblings of a schizophrenic, and I'm posting this on the internet, which is world renown for being the most truthful place in the world. But I swear on my mother's life about the authenticity of everything I've posted here tonight. And my mother has been the only human being that has consistently been there for me for my entire life, no matter how bad it's ever gotten, and it's gotten pretty bad over the years, and I wouldn't say something like "I swear on her life" without meaning it.

They're going out of town again next very soon. I have a feeling something might happen. Or at least "they" will try to get something to happen. I plan on fighting it by not giving into the fear, no matter how bad it gets. I'm also thinking about just going along with it, but trying to use every bit of mental power I have to remember what happens. That sounds pretty fucking terrifying tbh though lads. When it comes down to it, nothing is probably going to happen. It's been a while since anything super insane like that has happened, and those events seem to be ultra rare, so it probably won't happen. But I feel like it will for some reason.

I wish I could just get used for what I'm intended for soon. I'm getting bored with waiting, and this world is incredibly depressing. My faith is strong, so really I have nothing to fear if it does happen again.

I think quantum manipulation is involved with what me, and other anons have gone through. That could be another purpose of the GATE classes, and my visits and lost time. Or just plain old schizophrenia with a lot of incredibly crazy coincidences involved who has spent too much time on the internet.

Appeared in a dream of mine a while ago.

The dream was strange but was moreso about hunting down a demon or a ghost of some sorts that only appeared in video, during the "video" i saw myself setting up a bed with cameras placed all around the room (just like in the Paranormal Activity movies i guess you could say.) All while doing so i was reciting a bible verse. (I have never read the bible but i remembered some of the verse and it was an actual verse.)

When my dream self went to sleep it cut to a pseudo 3rd person out of consciousness viewpoint and i had saw "The Hat Man" in a corner staring at my sleeping self while i continued to recite a bible verse before waking up briefly after noticing him in my dream.

He's also visited my grandfather after a few of his ghostbox sessions after he falls asleep. He said he saw him standing in a corner just staring at him with indistinguishable features other than a hat and a trench coat.

What if it's not a hat? what if it's… HORNS!?!?!???!

>>24291

You make a point.

>>24291

What if they ain't horns? what if they are… ELF EARS!?!?!???!

Anyone ever had an experience like these but there was more than just a shadow? One night I woke up and could clearly see the old woman straddling me, in full color like she was actually physically there. She looked how you´d expect a normal old woman to look, wearing a black cloak. She started choking me and I felt as if I had woken up again but with pain all around my neck. For a few seconds after I woke up, I could still see her and she just kind of phased out.

>>24325

DUNDUNDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN…

I saw him five years ago. I started getting sleep paralysis regularly. Hat Man was there the first time but never came back, only regular shadow people after.

As I opened my eyes I saw him walk across the room and walk into the closet door. Thinking he is gone and scared out my mind I turn my eyes back forward and like some jumpscare he is there at the end of my bed, looming over staring at me. The first time was the worst but I have had some fucked up paralysis experiences. Weird to the point when I tell people they say "you sure that was sp that seems way more intense".

One of the worst was during a regular dream. I'm in some field, like an English countryside, the grass is blowing but I'm not cold. In the middle is a rope swing hanging from an oak. In the next field are yellow flowers, wheat and more grass. In the distance is a white cottage with thatched roof. I just sit there all tranquil. In the wind I can hear a girl singing. It's a nice song and I'm feeling contempt. All of a sudden the lyrics start hinting that someone is here, it gets weirder and references to pain and hurting me are brought up and I know shadow people are involved. Then she sings "Watch out he wants to snap your back" and I swear I feel hands pulling me back bending my spine to snap it. I wake with my back arched and split second shadow person before he fades. I felt my back click and everything.

Another time I heard this white noise coming from downstairs, I heard voices arguing but everyone was asleep. I open my eyes and a shadow person is right infront of my face, inches away. The shadow is screaming in my face in a blood curdling static way.

it's not your average paralysis. I don't know what it is. It hasn't happened in years now.

>>24486

Fuck i think he is visiting me

I let my fear take over and i gave him a snack

Playing templar chants and I got a weapon on me ill green text what happens after I talk to this childhood >friend

>>24388

Not evil at all, he's just a neutral shadow person. Quit thinking everything is out to get you. The world doesn't revolve around you.

Uh

I wear a big hat similar to that

Am I the hat man? I guess my encounter is that I am the hat man, then.

>>24281

Fuck, that's terrifying. Especially the fire alarms; god I hate those things.

I was about 7 years old when i saw him. He was sitting on the balcony laying on his side and waved at me. It freaked me out and my mom and my sister didn't know what was wrong with me. I guess they wouldn't believe me since they didn't see him. Odd. He kind of looked like Michael Jackson as a shadow. Haven't seen him ever since.

They say he goes by the name "Ben Garrison".

>>28141

If you took it off would he die?

>>28159

Apparently there is a second one coming out soon. Full of their rituals and stuff

>>28159

What's the book about? How to be a Vampire or Shadowman? Does it have any details on how to defeat them?

Only seen him in LSD: Dream Emulator, always creeped me out, but never seen him in person.

>>24386

Typical sleep paralysis episode. What you saw is where we get the legend of the banshee from. I've seen similar stories, where instead of choking you, she starts screaming instead. Sometimes this is related to a death in the family, as well.

>>28564

Isn't it interesting though, how people from differents times and countries report seeing similar creatures during this state?

>>28566

Yeah, I think the weirdest part though, is when I pointed out that the encounters sounded like a typical banshee, the poster claimed to not even know what a banshee was. I thought was was a well-known mythological omen, but I guess not?

In 2012, I had an experience with the "hooded man", who some believe to be the same entity as the hat man.

It was a physical manifestation, too, which apparently doesn't happen often to a lot of people. I guess I'm unique in that regard, for better or for worse.

The whole thing really started when I originally started practicing spiritualism (which over time transformed into a study of Jungian Occultism) with a former close friend of mine. She and I formed a "psychic connection" that became rather unhealthy. You could say that I fell in love with her, too, but the fact that we were sharing dreams and thoughts no matter our proximity, I felt it was something more 'paranormal' than love.

It became more and more intense. My obsession turned to anger, primarily because she was ungrateful of all I did for her, including purchasing nearly $600 of college books for her only to find out she dropped out before classes even started. My anger turned into full on rage, going to the point where I was consumed with regret day after day.

Eventually, when I was bitching to her over the internet one night, I felt something behind me, watching me, leaning over my shoulder.

I walked away from the computer, up the stairs and turned around to see a dark entity hanging over my front door.

It hung in the air for a while, staring back at me. I stared at it, acknowledging it. Then, after a bit of a stand-off, it retreated by phasing through the wall.

After a few weeks, I banished its influence.

Whether it was a creation of my own mind, an entity attracted to my negativity or even the physical manifestation of my obsession, I don't know.

All I know is that I will discourage falling in love with anyone before seeing any potential red flags.

>>28637

It would be interesting to see which one between negativity and spiritualism has a stronger correlation with this kind of experience. Unfortunately scientists don't even believe that this can happen, so no such study will be done. It makes me sad to imagine how much more we could know about the world if only mainstream science wasn't so close minded.

No, but had experience with penis man

not sure if this is the right hat man but i'll go

>be me at rich private catholic school
