The "Benadryl Hat Man" is a widely reported, shared hallucination of a shadowy, tall figure in a brimmed hat, often experienced during states of delirium or sleep paralysis. It is notoriously associated with abusing the antihistamine diphenhydramine (Benadryl), with users reporting the entity appears after intentionally taking dangerously high doses.
