In 2007, my sensible grandmother saw a Spring-heeled Jack character out her living room window. There had been a storm and the power was out on their side of the neighborhood. But there was enough light for her to see a man in dark clothes and a cap bouncing in her yard. This man bounded over their gate and towards the local cemetery. As I said, she was a no-nonsense type of person and this made the event scarier. I should add that before this sighting, she, and my mom saw a bright yellow light on the kitchen wall. My grandfather did not see it and remember their power was out. Spooky. This happened in East, KY.

When I was about ten (1975-ish), we lived in a small town in the south of England. I was terrified one night when a figure dressed in a Harlequin clown costume (I could see the diamond shaped patterns on the clothes) appeared in my bedroom and moved towards me. It disappeared after a few seconds, and to this day I have no idea what it was (if it was there), or if it was one of those realistic dreams you sometimes have as you're waking up. Whatever it was, it scared the crap out of me.

During sleep paralysis episodes I have woken up from adrenaline and cortisol ( stress, fight or flight hormones) which does elevate your heart rate and blood pressure. What’s very strange is you can feel like you’ve been in the sleep paralysis realm for hours only to wake and see that 10 minutes have elapsed. Truly bizarre.

[@pablodelsegundo9502]

My first time was like that. I couldn't breathe and started panicking instantly. Then my (long dead) great grandmother's voice told me "relax like they taught you in class". I'd been taking a yoga course at the time so I forced my facial/cranial muscles to go slack and I snapped right out of it, heart racing and gasping. Since then, I've made honoring the ancestors part of my 'religion'...it's the least I could do to thank her, even if I contrived it all on my own.

[@BBulletin]

I used to get sleep paralysis fairly often-- often enough it stopped scaring me. Eventually my reaction became more of an annoyed "not AGAIN!" than anything else. I never did see anything; however, I did keep sensing something menacing just outside of my range of vision. Afterwards I would often notice that the room while I was paralyzed was different than the "waking world" version.

[@TrollBot.]

@@BBulletin Thats how my sleep paralysis was, but there was this one time that I was actually able to "sleep walk" while on a sleep paralysis, if that makes sense? I was able to walk and see and scream and talk and everything but the sleep paralysis was going on in my head until I finally actually woke up 100% the most frightening experience ever and my grandmother witnessed it happen to me.

Very interesting. In reading all of your comments I can relate to every one of them. Sometimes I was able to take control of my actions within the dream. Not often but when I did it was a whole different experience. Sometimes I could fly and I really felt like I could accelerate to a near infinite speed and could feel the momentum. Best way to describe it is the jump to light speed scene in Star Wars ( yup I’m old). I experienced it in my crib all the way to 2020. It’s a very strange story the very last time I had an episode. I can try to describe it if anyone wants to hear it. Apologies I’m not the greatest writer. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. I’d love to hear more.

@@Khate999 It's very well documented. Hate to break it to you but there have been supernatural experiences throughout human history and beliefs in every single culture all around the world. It is a part of the human experience. If it disturbs you so, then continue to look the other way. For anyone curious about the subject, Spring-heeled Jack is a great case to examine.

[@kohinarec6580]

People are also susceptible to manipulation, suggestions, make-belief and rumors. One's status, office or perceived credibility does not equal reliable, real or accurate account of an event or "encounter". Spring-Heeled Jack is possibly based on real events. Some mad, violent miscreant scaring people and terrorising his surroundings with sexually motivated attacks and vandalism. Hardly supernatural. He evolved into an otherworldly character. If he existed, he was an athletic, quick and agile man with disturbed urges or a sick sense of humour. His supernatural origin or superhuman abilities are embellishment and rumours living the life of their own. I am prone to believe he existed. The clothes he is depicted wearing remind me of hussars or similar light cavalry. Those guys tended to be fit and even acrobatic. Maybe he "took advantage" of his evenings off the barracks or had procured pieces of an old cavalry uniform somewhere. It is even likely he existed. But he was not supernatural.

I finally got the courage to confront him in my dreams. Told him to go back where he ccx ame from. K didn't have to be afraid because of psalm 91 that i just happened to come across on the internet.

I waved but the didnt look, they kept looking forward, looking incredibly angry. I wondered what was wrong, but due to the road and traffic i couldnt stop or turn around to follow them. I was close to home so decided to keep going home and then id ring mum who wasnt driving to see what was wrong. However when i got home, their car was in the drive.

I've seen the hat man, he's no joke and had two shadow people at his side when they visited me during my sleep paralysis. On the bright side all I could do was literally pray as I lay frozen to the bed and in such a futile act I thought at the time a brilliant white light appeared and seemingly burned them out of existence engulfing me in strong feeling of love almost as receiving a very warm hug from a loved one. After that I never saw him or the shadow people ever again.... It was terrifying though, I've never felt so helpless. Cheers 🥂

Hairy Hands is the silliest story I have ever heard or read!

[@anastasiyabksi1281]

Really enjoy your content. You are unique and intriguing. 😬😀💕💕

If the hairy hands are invisible how do they know they are being attacked by hands? and even better how do they know they are hairy?

[@Jacky9071]

My Mum spoke about him! She said he used to turn up In the night and just look in the room !

[@jackdurden466]

No, Spring Heeled Jack was not the devil, the devil doesn’t engage in pranks. It may be a demon or possibly offspring of Loki, the god of mischief. From Norwegian folklore.

I, too, remember being warned of the dangers of hairy palms as a young, impressionable boy. Beware the control of the Hairy Hands

[@DowntownTasty]

These are the type of videos I love

[@jerlee620]

When I was a kid I was told I would get hairy palms if I, uh.. Look, all I’m sayin is “Hairy Hands” probably had a lot of time to himself growin up.

[@Abomb0079]

I didn't know hat man was a known entity. I used to wake up hyperventilating not breathing when I was a kid. I would look out in my grandmas backyard and there was hat man standing in her backyard watching me. I would scream to my mom and family there he is pointing out back. Nobody was ever able to see him except me. Hat man revisited me when I was a teenager and tried to smother me with a pillow in my sleep. I woke up and fought him off when I realized what was happening. He backed up in a manner like that of someone floating to my cracked bedroom door and then slid through the crack backwards facing me as he vanished. He is about 7 ft tall and looks like he is dressed as a detective from those old cop shows wearing a trenchcoat with a top hat. I will never forget watching him slink out of my bedroom after trying to smother me. I'm 41 and that was over 20 years ago.

I was at school near Dartmoor, so we would regularly take hikes across the moor. As we would be walking, it could be sunny one moment, the next moment, deep fog. Very sinister.

[@shaneburst5661]

When I was 3 years old not quite 4 I had a horrific encounter at night during a thunderstorm. I was in bed with my mother sleeping and happened to wake up just as lightning struck outside but very close to the house. I saw what I believe was a skeletal apparition standing at the edge of the bed looking directly at me. I started crying and demanded my mother turn on the light, and she woke up and frantically went to the light switch. When she turned it on and reached to grab me nothing was there! This is my earliest memory, and it has had a profound effect on my life. Oddly enough I am an artist, and have drawn, painted, and carved more sklls and skeletons than anything else since the age of 8. I am 46 years old now and still wondering what it was I saw that night!!! 💀

[@pab1381]

See how many weird things have happened in this world and how little we know about them. I’m not sure I would want to know the secrets of the world. I feel like it would be too much.

[@DizzyDez613]

**IF YOU HAVE SLEEP PARALYSIS PLEASE READ** I am almost 40 years old, and I've been experiencing sleep paralysis since I was in the fourth grade (age 8 or 9). I quickly learned **how to snap out of it** . Here's what you need to do: 1) Close your eyes. 2) Take a few deep breaths. You need to be calm. 3) Imagine you're sucking all of your physical energy into the center of your chest. 4) Take one more deep breath, hold it in.... 5) THEN EXPLODE! Try to move your entire body at once. You kind of need to "surprise yourself". It normally takes a 2 or 3 tries of "exploding", but I've been successfully using this method to break out of sleep paralysis for about 30 years now. Thankfully, the older I get, the less it happens to me. And I honestly can't even remember the last time it happened. It's been a few years.

“Spring-heeled Jack was last seen in 1904 at Everton in Liverpool, bounding up and down the streets, leaping from cobbles to rooftops and back! He vanished into the darkness when some brave souls tried to corner him and he has not been seen since”

I used to see that Hat Man many times when I was a kid, he completely terrified me. I forgot about it and thought it was just my imagination, until I discovered other people see him too! The image at 7:03 is extremely accurate of what he looks like. Even seeing just a picture of him makes me feel scared

I put these videos on to help me sleep but when The Hat Man came up i was instantly awake. I've seen him several times for as long as i can remember but only when I'm awake, a lot more since the pandemic. Brimmed hat, trench coat, no face, basically just a shade, always in the same door frame. In my case his legs end at the knee so he's just hovering, when i see him he's in the corner of my eye then gone as soon as i look directly at him. I have VSS (visual snow syndrome) +some childhood head trauma so i thought it was just one of those/both acting up and occasionally making me see things, weird that enough people have seen him to make a group about him though.

[@marinakaiser7639]

O yes i had luck to visit it such a wonderful ,dangerous ,mysterious place

[@dennislogan6781]

The Hat Man is probably a Shadow Man, a well known spirit sighting.

[@rhynouk1]

I live 10 minutes away from the Hairy Hands Bridge In Dartmoor. It is a seriously creepy place. Dartmoor is so amazing. If you ever get the chance, visit this massive open space of landscape that stretches for miles. Dartmoor Prison is a great place too. You can stay overnight and do ghost walks if you like. I walked it a few times and it has such am eerie atmosphere. Hightly recommended.

[@crimsonffire]

This is odd, Thursday night/Friday morning just gone, I saw the hat man. I wasn't asleep I suffer with insomnia and I tried to tell him to leave and tried to kick him. He was standing over me by my bed. Freaked me out because I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried but I heard myself saying go away,get lost. Then he was gone. My room is very dark and he was darker than anything else in my room that I could see his silhouette in contrast to everything else. I couldn't sleep after it had this uneasy feeling wash over me. Has never happened before and told my mam and friends about it the next day. I have seen shadow people but this was something else the feeling I got off this thing weirded me out. Just odd to see you mention him because I tried explaining it to them. So thank you for reconfirming I'm not the only one who has seen this thing.

[@NanaBren]

When I was a child my grandmother asked me to look out her window and tell her what I saw. I thought it was strange but did as she asked. I reported each thing I saw including my uncle sitting in his car. She stopped me there and asked how I knew it was him. I replied that I knew it was him because he had his hat on. My uncle had died 3 days prior to this incident but I forgot that. She got a strange look on her face and told me that she was seeing him too. It looked kind of shadowy but the hat was distinctive. Since then I have seen the hooded figure people all the Grim Reaper a few times. Usually just before I hear about a death of someone near me. I don’t usually see shadow figures, it’s very rare. I believe that they mean us harm. Grandma said, “Don’t go searching for demons, you might find one.”

Funny thing about sleep paralysis is I have gotten it but there is a way to avoid the visual hallucinations. I wear a sleeping mask and when I do get sleep paralysis, I can only notice the auditory hallucinations. It makes the experience less terrifying in my opinion.
