The Man with the Tall Black Hat
My name is Bud Prater Founder of Wisdom Paranormal Research Society and this is my story about one of the most horrific and terrifying haunting I’ve ever experience.
Back in the early 80’s, my mother Jeanette managed an apartment building located at 206 Buffington St. in Fall River Massachusetts. I live at this residence for almost 15 years and let me tell you that it wasn’t a pleasant stay.
It all started around when I was six years old. I started to hear and see things in and around my house, and it was the first time I saw what I identified to be the “The Man in the Tall Black Hat.”
It was one night while I was in bed with my dog Jenny on my side. I felt the room get room get cold and Jenny began to coward, looking towards my bedroom door. I then looked in that direction and saw what appeared to be a tall man wearing a large Quaker hat standing at my doorway just staring at me. The air was so cold, that you could see vapors coming from every breath I took. My dog Jenny started to moan and growl at the apparition. I laid there in fear for about 5 minutes before getting up enough courage to scream for my mother. I was so afraid that if I screamed or even moved, he would jump on my bed and hurt me. At this point I screamed for my mother and the apparition disappeared. When my mom entered the room she could still feel his presents and could still feel the coldness that surrounded the area. I was so frighten that I could not sleep alone the rest of the night. This type of occurrence started to happen almost every other day, making it harder and harder to sleep by myself. The second sighting was a few day’s later on a rainy night. Once again, I was in my bed trying to go to sleep and then low and behold I could see my breath again and I noticed the apparition manifesting right before my eye’s in my living and then sat on my couch. I could not believe my eye’s and could not believe that I was seeing this thing again for a second time. After a few minutes the apparition got up from the couch and started to head towards my bedroom door once again. But this time and not like the last time, I screamed for my mother before it could get any closer to my room door. I was so terrified that I almost passed out in my mothers arms when she arrived. She held me and began to pray for this thing to stop bothering me. My mother had lay by my side the rest of the night due to this occurrence.
