Around the edges of the reality easily perceived by men seems to lurk another- A world home to entities and intelligences for which we have many names but little understanding. Reports passed down throughout history catalog a menagerie of angels, alien beings, shadowmen, sentient lights, demons, and disembodied voices who walk and stalk the plains of this alternate plane, sometimes stumbling over the borders which separate us from them and making their way into our own. One alleged diabolic denizen of the nether is said to invoke such a sense of dread and terror into those who have witnessed him that even uttering the simple moniker by which he is most known can reignite the feelings of horror long after the initial encounter has passed- The Hatman. Tonight on the return of MIKs firsthand testimonial series, Transmissions from the Abyss, we'll hear from our very own Jamie Lee on her recurring encounters with the ominous entity himself and just how his appearance has left a lasting impact on her life and her perceptions of the unknown. In the intro to this episode we'll also briefly touch on our own personal recent encounters of mysterious unmarked black helicopters and just how these events and others seem to indicate an ongoing communication with something larger than ourselves.MIK theme by B.

(Dark Mass) *** If you were to drive from New York to Sacramento, California, it would take you close to 45-hours, non-stop. If you were to fly? That strips off 40 of those hours – it'd only take you about five hours to fly from New York to California. But one person did it even faster than that… almost instantaneously. (The Mysterious Case of the Teleporting Skier) *** A simple case of a man making angry threats at another man who had made a pass at his wife goes to court – and that's when and where it gets really ugly, murderously so.

(The Ghosts of Crosbie Towers) *** Reports are pouring in from all over the world with people claiming to have had an encounter with a Shadow Person.

One girl used to think so – but a strange paranormal experience has her now thinking there's no such thing as happenstance. (More Than a Coincidence) *** Is it possible that the real reason for the USA-Iraq war had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction, and everything to do with the appropriation of other-worldly alien technology? (Saddam Hussein's Stargate) *** Weirdo family member Heather Circle brings us a terrifying story that starts, innocently enough, with her child's missing plastic drinking cup. (A Little Pink Sippy Cup) *** Rebecca Schaeffer was destined to be a star. But before she had the chance to make it in Hollywood, she was murdered by an obsessed fan. (Hollywood's Sweetheart Killed By a Stalker) *** With the internet's recent obsession with Black Eyed Kids encounters and “Shadow People” visitations, you might not notice another phenomena that's quickly becoming part of the paranormal pop-culture consciousness: The Hat Man. Reports of the strange “Hat Man”, a mysterious entity dressed in a long-brimmed hat, continue to pour in from all over the world. Who is the Hat Man? What does he want? Why have so many people around the world been visited by this strange entity? (The Hat Man And Shadow People) *** If you've ever seen the film “The Wicker Man”, you are familiar with the ending of the burning giant made of wood and the human sacrifice therein. But is it possible that this terrifying idea was not an invention of novelists and screenwriters – but was a very real practice at one time? Or even today? (The History Behind The Wicker Man) *** The life that serial killer Dennis Rader lived on the outside, hid his dark secret inside, which he was so desperate to reveal that he began dropping breadcrumbs to the media. (The Paper Trail of BTK) *** A graveyard is typically a quiet place, but Graceland Cemetery in Chicago seems to be a bit too quiet – which might have something to do with its resident ghosts. (The Deathly Silence of Graceland Cemetery) *** In 1888, London was terror-struck by the grotesque murders of Jack the Ripper, who was shortly about to claim his next-victim: 47-year-old prostitute Annie Chapman. Her dissection at the hands of the madman was nothing short of gruesome. (The Dissection of Annie Chapman) *** Annie Chapman likely got a good look at her killer. At the time, scientists thought they could user her corpse's eyeballs to identify the attacker. Is something like that possible? Could the last visual image of someone's life remain burned into the eye even after death?

In Episode 426: Police Officer's Paranormal Life, we are joined by Dave. Dave doesn't listen to The Confessionals and didn't know he was scheduled for an interview until a few weeks beforehand when his wife Brandy sprung it on him! Even though he wasn't prepared to tell his experiences, Dave didn't disappoint. He begins his story by revealing that his ancestor, Bridget Bishop, was the first person executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in 1692. Considering that this family history could be a reason for the paranormal experiences in his life, Dave goes on to tell us about Hatman, his experiences on duty as a police officer, and even his strange relationship with electronics, in which he seems to drain them of all their energy.

We are in a bit of a remote, wooded double feature today for Dan's tales. The first of two stories is composed out of what may have been a hermit's final diary entries, as a man living alone in a remote cabin writes of something terrorizing him. Then we hear the legend of the Dungarvon Whooper, a folklore coming from an old logging camp in New Brunswick, Canada. Then Lynze gives us a life long but seemingly harmless attachment. Or is it? What's happening to this person? Lastly, what Dan says is possibly the most horrifying tale he's ever heard from Lynze- what happens when you cannot tell reality from nightmare?

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, hosts David Lee Corbo and Top Lobsta delve into the enigmatic experiences of Fringe, an alien abductee. Fringe shares her journey from a strict Christian background to exploring New Age beliefs and the shocking realizations about her abductions. The discussion spans topics like hybrid children, telepathic communications, the role of shadow people in abductions, physical vs. spiritual aspects of abduction phenomena, and the potential implications of a polar shift.

In episode 747: Hatman the Soul Hunter, Chad Phillippi shares his chilling journey from childhood occultism to a full-blown spiritual battle in the Alaskan wilderness. Groomed into astral projection and candle magick by a potentially nefarious librarian, Chad opened doors he couldn't close—doors that followed him into adulthood. After fleeing toxic mold in Washington, his family moved to what they believed would be a healing refuge in Alaska. Instead, they found a house stalked by shadow figures, a red-eyed Hat Man, and a little ghost girl who called out in the night. As the spiritual attacks escalated—golem-like creatures, spectral stagecoaches, and visions of the dead—the family was pushed to the brink. With the help of a spiritual warfare mentor, they buried Bibles, anointed the land, and drove out the presence. But when a buried camper with hair on its window was uncovered and reburied, the darkness returned with force. Forced to flee through a coming storm, they left everything behind. Because this wasn't just a haunting, it was a trap. And someone, or something, didn't want them to make it out.

They say he watches from the shadows, always wearing a hat — but the Hat Man isn't just another shadow person… he's something far more terrifying.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateDISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Unlike most shadow people figures, the Hat Man - this tall, dark being often appears during times of emotional turmoil. With accounts from all over the world, questions continue to be asked about his origin – is he supernatural? Interdimensional? Just our imagination? Demonic… or extraterrestrial? What is the Hat Man – and what are his motives? (The Night Terror That is The Hat Man) *** He was a charismatic activist and local celebrity who counted the elite of Philadelphia among his friends. But behind closed doors, Ira Einhorn's relationship with his girlfriend Holly Maddux was fraught with abuse, control, and ultimately, murder. The shocking discovery of Holly's body in a trunk in Einhorn's apartment was only the beginning of the hunt for the man they'd eventually call “The Unicorn Killer.” (Holly Maddux And The Unicorn Killer) *** On May 1, 1897, Louisa Luetgert, the wife of a prominent Chicago sausage-maker, mysteriously vanished. The last sighting of her was with her husband, Adolph, as they walked into his sausage factory. This chilling disappearance not only shocked the city but also caused a notable decline in sausage sales that summer. Gee, I wonder why. (The Sausage Maker And His Wife) *** Centuries of worship and tragedy have left behind more than just memories in some churches… they've also left behind spirits, some holy… some not. From ghostly priests and weeping brides to mysterious mists and phantom lights, there are hauntings that linger in these ancient sanctuaries. What eerie tales are hidden within the walls of the world's oldest… and most haunted… churches? (Attending Church Eternally As A Ghost) *** In June 2006, Gilbert Gilman vanished without a trace during a short walk in Olympic National Park. Despite an extensive search and numerous theories, no evidence of his fate has ever been found. Was he a victim of foul play, or did he choose to disappear?

Picture yourself glancing upward only to meet the gaze of an imposing 8-foot-tall figure known as the Hatman, peering down at you. This chilling encounter is precisely what our guest, Hailey Midgley, host of the Haunted & Healing Podcast, experienced firsthand. Raised in a home steeped in paranormal activity, where a malevolent demonic presence seemed intent on targeting her family, Hailey's life has been deeply intertwined with the supernatural from an early age—a connection that persists to this day. In her current residence in Utah, she contends with shadowy entities that linger in the periphery and encounters animals that appear to bear strangely disguised visages. Could these be manifestations of skinwalkers, entities born from loss and steeped in eerie folklore? Hailey is convinced of it. Join us as we explore Hailey's compelling and unsettling experiences with these enigmatic phenomena.Freaky Merch! We are super excited to announce that you can now purchase Let's Get Freaky merch!

In this episode, we listen to a rare recorded interview from the late, great, Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Rosemary was one of the most legendary figures in the world of paranormal research, a fearless explorer of the unknown who spent her life chasing answers in the shadows of our reality. Though she's no longer with us, her voice and her wisdom carry on.. She talk about the mystery of the Djinn, described as ancient, powerful beings of smokeless fire who move between worlds and have long been suspected of influencing human experience from the shadows. Rosemary's insights on the Djinn are especially powerful, as she explains how they could be behind many of the phenomena we mistakenly attribute to demons or extraterrestrials. Throughout this recorded interview, Rosemary takes us deep into the hidden layers of existence from -The Hat Man, shadow people, the connections between alien abductions and ancient beings like the Nephilim, and the chilling reality of dream invasion and sleep paralysis. She explores how certain entities feed off fear, how synchronicities might not be accidents, and how cursed objects can carry real, dangerous attachments. Rosemary also shares some of the most frightening cases she ever investigated, reminding us of the risks that come with exploring these realms, but also the importance of keeping our minds open. This is a tribute to her work, and her enduring voice in the quest to understand what lies beyond the veil... Drop in!www.visionaryliving.comRosemary Ellen Guiley Bio:Rosemary Ellen Guiley was one of the most respected and prolific voices in the field of metaphysical research, with over 65 books to her name covering a vast range of subjects like the paranormal, spiritual realms, dreamwork, angels, demons, and the mystical nature of reality itself. Her work bridged the gap between scholarship and personal exploration, weaving together deep research with field investigations and interviews, as she sought to understand the hidden dimensions that shape our experience of the world. Rosemary was not only a writer but also an active investigator, spending countless nights in haunted locations and spiritual hotspots, always driven by a profound curiosity about the unseen forces around us.She served on the boards of several major paranormal organizations and appeared frequently on television and radio, sharing her insights with a wide audience hungry for understanding the mysteries of life and beyond. Rosemary approached her work with both rigor and an open heart, believing that the exploration of the unknown was essential to expanding human consciousness. Though she passed away in 2019, her legacy continues to inspire truth seekers, mystics, and researchers worldwide, reminding us that the boundaries of reality are far wider than we often imagine — and that her voice still echoes in the conversations we carry forward today.

Send us a textApril Thacker joins us to share her extraordinary journey from childhood spiritual encounters to becoming a professional psychic medium. Having experienced near-death moments as a young child, April recalls seeing a crystal village and feeling surrounded by love – early glimpses into the spiritual realm that would later become her calling.Most fascinating is April's account of the "Hat Man" – a shadowy figure in a hat and trench coat that visited her as a child. This wasn't just imagination; the Hat Man is a documented phenomenon reported by people worldwide, though his purpose remains mysterious. These early encounters initially frightened April into shutting down her abilities until divine timing intervened when she met her future mother-in-law – a woman raised by gypsies who practiced tarot reading.The conversation takes an illuminating turn as April describes how trauma healing unlocked her mediumship abilities. Courageously sharing her experiences with childhood abuse, alcoholism in her family, and sexual trauma, April demonstrates how these painful experiences became tools for helping others. Whether you're curious about developing your own intuitive abilities or seeking inspiration in healing past wounds, April's story offers both practical guidance and profound hope.

Dad's suddenly channeling his inner poltergeist, Hat Man's lurking in the bedroom doorway, and shadowy figures seem really invested in their bedtime routine.

In episode 738: Warfare In The Second Heaven, Caleb steps forward to share his story—a life spent straddling two realities. From childhood encounters with shadow figures to direct confrontations with dark entities, he has been thrust into spiritual warfare that most never see. After nearly ending his own life, he made a desperate plea to God: If you're real, you have to show me. What followed was a transformation that led him into the depths of the supernatural. He describes being pulled into the second heaven, where time moves erratically, the ground breathes, and unseen forces wage war. He has faced the Hat Man, battled the stag-headed god Cernunnos, and stood against forces that feed on fear and chaos. But why him? And why are the occult obsessed with accessing this realm? If the second heaven is a battleground between light and darkness, how much of our world is shaped by what happens there?

This week begins with the anonymous claim of a man who believes he encountered something evil… something not human… while out delivering pizzas late on a Friday night. Did something order a meal to be delivered to them, and was that meal supposed to have been the person bringing the pizza instead of the pizza? Then, Dan covers the infamous Moberly-Jourdain Incident. Back in 1901, did two noted academics, Charlotte Ann Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, slip over a hundred years out of their own time for several minutes while on a trip to France ? It's a very thought-provoking and creepy tale. Lynze begins with a straightforward haunted house- just classic! She finishes up the show with a unique tale about that feeling known as the "call of the void". It may or may not be paranormal but it is very bizarre, regardless.
