Ok this is about to be a thread about a possible paranormal personal story idk, but I really wanna know if anyone I know has had the same dream since I’ve found out lots of people have been visited by this entity

Years ago maybe 2014 I had just fallen asleep for maybe 30 mins but I felt like it was longer, I was woken up by my ex because I was kicking and screaming in my sleep.

Well the reason for my screaming was because I was just having a nightmare that this VERY tall shadow figure in a top hat and a trench coat was standing at the end of my bed and then grabbed my lower leg ankle area, that is when I know forsure I started screaming.

I thought it was so weird that this thing I described as a “tall, shadow inspector gadget guy” scared me so bad. All I knew was I was very terrified by it. I eventually got over it, until last night I was cleaning out the tv stand while my boyfriend was watching a documentary

about sleep paralysis which I have had before but not during that dream in 2014 from what I remember. Well not paying attention to what was on the tv at all I happened to look up as an illustration was being shown of this shadow person who’s called “the Hatman” and I freaked out

I was like THATS THE GUY! THATS THE THING I SAW YRS AGO THAT TOUCHED MY LEG. Apparently he’s been seen by lots of people all over the world. He sometimes can be accompanied by other shadow figures but I just saw him. There’s even a whole website dedicated to people seeing him.

I want to know if there’s anyone else that has had an experience with this entity.

These are pictures of what he looks like

Apparently “the hatman” is what Inspired Freddy Kruegers character
