  A common hallucination that people see when they OD on Benedryl: knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-hatman

      Not just trips, and not just if you’ve heard of him. I saw the hat man a lot during a 2 week psychotic episode as a teenager, and didn’t learn he had a name and countless artist renderings until several years later. He’s seen across cultures and times.

    He’s seen in many other situations too. Benadryl is just super commonly known.

    Someone I talked to online said they saw him multiple times in their life sober, and every time there’d be a death in the family or really bad thing would happen. They didn’t see him as evil, just as an omen/warning.

      I done seent this guy when sleep-paralyzed, but in my case it was my brain misinterpreting a coat hanging on my bedroom door

        I've been there. But my mind always interpreted it as a semi-humanoid/semi-formless demon. Definitely no hat.

      I haven’t seen a hat man, but I get migraine with aura and sometimes “see” a moving shadow sort of shaped like a person out of the corner of my eye. Of course, if I try to look directly, there’s nothing there.

        yeah, my sleep paralysis demon looks more like Cousin Itt (without the hat) and gets arms as the occasion warrants (stealing things, making tea, i’m trying to remember. we’ve spent some time together but it’s been a while)

    I experience this but never saw it as a man in a hat. Interesting.

  People often ask chatbots questions and treat their responses as genuine artificial intelligence

  Folks see the hat man from robotripping.
