I was born in 1975. Long before IMDB, Youtube, Facebook, the internet, or cable television. I've been seeing this thing since I was a child. It would on rare occasion come to me in the middle of the night and stand in my bedroom doorway. It was a darker than the darkness figure of what looked like a huge man in a trenchcoat or cloak with a hood or hat.
I was always scared damn near to death from it's presence. But on the rare occasion that I would see it, it would always just stand there in my doorway. I would literally be paralyzed with fear. I couldn't move, speak and it would feel like I couldn't breathe and felt like it was going to kill me or waiting for me to die.
When I got my first apartment it moved with me. I'd wake up, paralyzed it be standing there in the doorway. There was nothing I could do, but seeing it was terrifying.
It still comes but I choose not to look. I rearranged my bedroom so I can't see the door from my bed. But I can still feel it when it's there, I still wake up paralyzed and afraid, still helpless to do anything about it.
I don't know what it wants or what it means. It never occured to me that someone else might have seen that thing. I never talked about it until social media. I watched this religious fantasy series on Netflix and a lady had one come to her in the night on the show and I was flabergasted because I didn't know it was an actually phenomenon people all over the world have experienced and there was a name for it. I started googling what I'd see and then all this information came back and I was just blown away. Then I found this documentary and some of the images from other people's account of seeing the same phenomenon.
They call it the "Hat Man" I've researched it further it's actually called a Jinn from ancient times. It always appears in my doorway and it just stands there. It's huge, it fills the doorway it's a dark sillhouette of a man with what sort of looks like a trench coat or cloak and something resembling the shape of a hat. But it looks like something in the darkness that's darker than darkness in the form of a man. I've never seen it waking up during the day always in the middle of the night.
