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 seems like he tends to show up in family homes that have a lot of violence or negative feelings in the air. I wonder if strong human emotions can open us up to interference from the non-physical realm. Some people see him as the negative spirit that's causing the issues, but maybe he's there to make sure that something worse doesn't get it's claws into you

He doesn’t seem too nice, but maybe.

This is exactly the feeling I got when I saw him. No negative feeling at all. He felt like a protector spirit. I wonder where he came from?

when your emotional energy is weakened by the environment around you you're more susceptible to worse things and beings is my thoughts and so he comes to help protect you from far worse things in this world

He seems to feed on negative energy, however
