I think I saw a ghost the other night

I guess this is best place to put this, I'll just explain it like it happened. I woke up about 3 times during the night each time hearing someone whisper my name. It was a male voice twice and a female voice the third time. Finally I woke up, went to the bathroom, and then walked to my door to look outside. I honestly don't know why I went to the door, but when I looked outside (it was about 2 am) I saw a man dressed in all black with a fedora on standing by my car looking up at me. It was a split second and I did kind of a double take and looked back and he was gone.

So chalk this up to me being half asleep or whatever, but I was woken up 3 different times hearing my name being called. Maybe someone can make something of it?

It's been pretty much proven that ghosts don't exist so I wouldn't worry. Was most likely a minor hallucination or a dream.

Really? Could you provide some documentation of this "proof" that ghosts don't exist?
I would really like to see this!

I have had ghost encounters since I was six years old... I'm fifty-five now, and still have ghosts visiting me!

I guess they forgot to tell these ghosts they don't exist.

OP, you had a visitor... you know what you experienced, no one else does. Don't let the naysayers make you question your sanity.

LOL...don't listen to that troll. They usually come on ATS, make an outrageous claim with no evidence to back it up then promptly go offline forever.

These folks are on here a dime a dozen.

BTW, I believe your story. I can tell the ATS community literally dozens of paranormal ghost stories that would curl their hairs. Things I have experienced and stories shared to me by my family members, people whom I have trust in.

That's not a ghost, you were visited by the Man in Black hat. I've seen him in a dream. He is not a nice entity.
He is after your soul-don't let him near, protect yourself.
If you believe in Jesus, call on Him.

They have ramped up their business as they know their time is short.
They want you for their food-your soul's energy.

And they want you to be scared and in fear, as they eat fear and negative emotions.

Strange you mention the fedora hat..

A few years ago i woke up in the middle of the night & standing at the end of my bed was the half solid shadow of what could be decribed as a man with a fedora hat on & dressed like something from the old wild west days,i wasn't scared for some reason,it lasted for about 10 or 20 seconds then i went back to sleep.

I remember the fedora hat very distinctly.

Never let anybody else put you down when it comes to the paranormal,we all have experiences sometimes & it's good to tell others about them.

Your post actually gave me chills. I'll have to look into whatever it is.

The "hat man" or "fedora man" you described is well-known to the shadow people researchers.

Here are some good vids on the subject:

Hat man sighting:


Another hat man sighting. I was ready to discount this as sleep paralysis, but she sounds like she was awake when she had this sighting. I'm still a bit skeptical on this one though.


The classic Art Bell show. (It's very long!)


Another long C2C show that discusses the hat man.

i saw several over the years

Those first two videos are ads for a movie or something apparently, that came out in 2012 at Halloween. I haven't had time to watch the others yet. Don't get me wrong, I have heard lots of reports of these guys before and I don't doubt that they are real, but I think the first two videos are just ads with actors.

I used to see a cloaked shadow man wearing a large hat for years when I was a kid. It was always at night usually in Winter, I was allowed to play out until it got dark. I used to get the feeling I was being watched and when I looked in the direction I felt it coming from he would be their facing me from a distance. I was around aged 9 to 12 when I used to see him. At first I thought it was imagined, I thought that I was creating it in my mind because it would be pretty dark and quiet where I lived and easy to imagine things creeping around. One night I saw him and decided to get a really good look, rather than my usual glance as I'd turn and run home.

I was trying to see how solid and real he was, he seamed pretty solid but a pure black heavy mass, he then developed two red glowing eyes, but they were more like small lights than eyes. I was terrified and ran home. I eventually confided in my friend. She told she sees him too, with the hat, cloak and eyes. Then one evening when I was walking home something inside told me that he can't hurt me but he wants to scare me. My fear of him eased and when I saw him waiting at one of his usual spots (also the same area my friend had seen him), I just wanted to laugh at him, it felt so silly he would be their when I couldn't care less. I told him in my mind I'm not scared and I never saw him again after that. I told my friend that he's just trying to scare us and she said she knew. She also stopped seeing him after that. I can remember him clearly, this entity does exist but I do wonder if it's simply a dark menacing energy that has been shaped into this form by the minds of those who feel its presence.

I never got the feeling this 'man' had any power, but his ability to shaken you seamed to be what he wanted. I've seen a many odd things in my life but this one was creepy until I was able to see him for what he really was. In my opinion a lost dark energy, it's only purpose is to survive by feeding on fear.

I laughed at this. It's a joke response, right?

If not, I'm going to laugh harder.
