      He’s seen in many other situations too. Benadryl is just super commonly known.

      Someone I talked to online said they saw him multiple times in their life sober, and every time there’d be a death in the family or really bad thing would happen. They didn’t see him as evil, just as an omen/warning.

          I’ve been there. But my mind always interpreted it as a semi-humanoid/semi-formless demon. Definitely no hat.

        I haven’t seen a hat man, but I get migraine with aura and sometimes “see” a moving shadow sort of shaped like a person out of the corner of my eye. Of course, if I try to look directly, there’s nothing there.

          yeah, my sleep paralysis demon looks more like Cousin Itt (without the hat) and gets arms as the occasion warrants (stealing things, making tea, i’m trying to remember. we’ve spent some time together but it’s been a while)
