What if the Hat Man wasn’t just watching…but hunting? When Charles was just three years old, he began having vivid nighttime encounters in his basement, where a formless being made of light would challenge him across the board. Around the same time, a crop circle mysteriously appeared beside his house, setting off a chain of eerie events that would haunt his family for years. However, when they moved to a new home on a road ominously named Devil’s Elbow, things took a darker turn. Hooded figures on the roof, cult activity in the woods, and the Hat Man watching from the shadows, not alone, but with companions. What followed was a terrifying unraveling of reality, memory, and the thin veil between worlds.
