The Man in the Top Hat and the Grey Man
When I was really little, maybe 3 or 4, my brother (who was only a year older than me) always talked about seeing a tall shadowy man wearing a suit and a top hat.
My brother only saw him for a little while before he grew out of it and then I started seeing the man in the top hat, which is what we call him now, by the way. My oldest brother never saw him; just me and my second oldest brother. Nobody else in our entire family ever saw him.
I haven't seen the man in the top hat since I was little, but I've remembered him and my friends have started seeing him now too. For example, a while back, my friend Andreas attempted suicide—and no, he did not succeed. However, that day he saw the man in the top hat. Neither of us have any clue WHY he saw him.
This was maybe six months ago. We reasoned that maybe because he had only ever watched over my brother and I without harming either of us, and because he had helped my friend in a way during that particularly suicide attempt (yes, there were more; no, I'm not going into it), he was maybe some sort of protector or guardian. But we never knew for sure because we didn't see him for after that, we didn't talk about him after that, we never even mentioned him to each other again.
A couple months ago, I got to talking about the man in the top hat with my friend Jinx. He hadn't seen him before, but he was interested in trying to help me figure out more about him. I started researching online and came across a site called Unexplained Mysteries—it was a thread about a woman whose husband was being tormented by the man in the top hat.
I decided to mull about the site and stay for a while, so I may an account. Soon thereafter, I happened upon a thread about—who could've guessed?—shadow people. A lot of people mentioned specifically that they had seen a man in a top hat, which made me think maybe e was more real than I initially thought. The people on this site—a lot of them are from all over the world, which could mean that the man in the top hat could very possibly have been seen all over the world too.
Now, another friend of mine—Shaun—has started having nightmares. In his nightmares which are so surreal/realistic, he sees the man in the top hat. And he does NOT like my friend. At all. My friend has started seeing him everywhere. Sometimes he says he can't even tell if it's a dream or reality. Just a few days ago, the man in the top hat flashed on his computer screen and his computer crashed. When he turned it back on, it asked if he wanted to resume his webpages open, so he clicked Yes.
This site was what popped up: http://oharaweb.weebly.com/index.html
I showed the site to my friend who happens to be an expert in all thing paranormal—I kid you not. He showed me a game called LSD Dream Emulator (I'll explain if you haven't heard of it). I showed everything this friend had told me to Shaun, and he pointed me in the direction of a site which had a complete description of this game. It talked about a peculiar character in the game called the Grey Man. If he got too close to you in the game, the screen would flash white and he'd be gone.
I wasn't too sure about their connection—the grey man and the man in the top hat, that is—because when my brother and I saw the man in the top hat, we were so young. Yes, the LAS Dream Emulator game had come out a few years before, but neither of us knew what it was when we saw him. Shaun thinks the man in the top hat is the same man as the grey man. I don't know.
I'm really finding this worrying, and yes, I know this sounds soooo creepypasta-ish, but I'm really not kidding. This is freaky. You guys probably think I'm kidding, probably think this is all a load of bullshit, but it's not.
