I was reading this book, academic book about the witch trials but written very early 1900s, and weird shit.
It referenced actual court documents and such during witch trials and this one person was admitting to talking to some dude with red eyes in a hat. I swear it sounds like the fucking Hatman, but during medieval times... Dude has been fucking with humanity for centuries at least.
Do you have the name of the book? My cousin was talking about the red eyed man his immediate family sees from time to time and I mentioned how it sounded like the hat man. Having a reference to a red eyed hat man would be sick to pull out in the next conversation
Actually yes! the Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray.
It's a very odd book arguing that they weren't seeing the devil and the witch trials were people worshipping what she calls the "Dianic cult", like some ancient fertility gods with horns and stuff. But it does reference a lot of actual witch trials in the book and it's fascinating.
not just bendaryl or dxm or whatever else, people get out of their trip what have put in their heads beforehand. if you read about hat man a lot you will see hat man
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 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)
ChatGPT is often very blatantly incorrect
People don't care as long as it ingratiates itself and strokes the users ego.
Oh, no. He's going to tell me to use Chrome!
Well I asked the scat man and he said "Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop bop bodda bope"
If the scatman can do it brother so can you
Well I asked the Batman and he said “I’m Batman”
you asked the wrong scat man. Mr. Jarreau scats way better.
I had that same song start playing in my head when I read hat man, too!
Never look at the hat man. Always look down and away.
What is the hat man? Like a boogeyman?
I also feel strongly that the Hat Man's answer to the girl's question was "M'lady!"
TFW The Hat Man sits down next to you and offers you a cigarette...

Ah, the sound of TV static. How I miss you.
It used to be "I asked my dad"

Sclera or iris?

Sick, thanks. My local library has a copy as it turns out, I'll be checking it out tonight
Hell yeah, libraries ftw!
It's available on archive.org. I might read this next, thanks!
What's this a reference to?

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 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.
Funny, the old hag told me the same thing
