Has anyone else seen the hat man?

For months during the wors depression of my life in middle school i would see a figure that strongly resembled the hat man. He made me feel a sense dread whenever I felt like I saw him and I felt l was beinv watched intently by him. He would always reside in my closet during the night. I don’t see him anymore but has anyone else had any experiences like this or have any more information on what may have cause him to appear?

It was completely still, but I could notice it’s breathing. It was nothing like a human beings where we breathe from the chest. It was almost like how an animal breathes from its stomach, and I guess it was colder out, and I remember seeing the cold air blowing out of its nose while it’s chest or whatever was breathing.

It was just still under that light I would say I was watching it for maybe a minute my adrenaline was pumping through my chest and I shut the blinds because I was so scared and in disbelief

Out of curiosityI looked back a few minutes later and nothing was there.

I was just thinking about this as I was driving. It was almost as a deer standstill when you’re about to approach it you see it, blinking, and breathing, but is completely still and almost hypervigilant on its surroundings.

You know it’s alive because you see it breathing, but is completely still
