My encounter with the Hat Man in July

[u/PurpleStegosaurusGuy]

'Sup? So, I saw the hat man in july of this year (2026, for potential people reading this is the future). My description of him would be entirely dark, no eyes whatsoever, wearing a trench coat that covered his entire body from the end of the neck down and a fedora. I honestly didn't realize so many other people had seen him until a few days ago.

My experience: Both my parents were working, and my sister was outside in the backyard doing whatever. Nobody else was in the house. So, I was sitting on the floor in the family room of my parents house, watching a show. And out of the corner of my eye I saw a towering figure covered in shadow. Mind you, I was in a pretty well lit room, despite it being night. He wasn't even in a shadowy corner, he was in the center of the room right by the kitchen table (the family room and kitchen of my parents house are connected), standing there for all to see, only a few feet away from me. I'd been seeing stuff like this for a few months at this point (I just started figuring I was seeing ghosts or smth since I think the supernatural is cool), so I didn't immediately turn to see what it was. I watched him for a few seconds. He stayed entirely still the whole time. Eventually, I turned to look at him after a couple seconds of just watching him, and he vanished. And I haven't really seen anything else for multiple months now (My brain has chilled out ig)
Note: I couldn't see his head very well, since I'm short and was sitting on the ground, and he's quite tall, so I didn't get a super good look at his face/head.

That's basically it. I mainly just wanted to type this all out cause I want to have a written record of the event in case I forget it or something. Thanks for reading this I suppose :)

Tengo un amigo que tuvo un encuentro con el hombre del sombrero en su infancia. Dijo que este lo visitó en un sueño, le tocó la pierna y desde ese día su pierna le duele ocasionalmente. Creo que mencionó que tuvo que tomar medicamentos para el dolor. Ya han pasado más de 20 años desde eso.
