Heidi Hollis is best known for having discovered, named, defined and even trademarked two paranormal phenomena: Shadow People® and Hat Man®. Hollis is an author, producer, actress and host for television, radio and podcast.
Hollis is the host of "Dark Becomes Light with Heidi Hollis" on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network (of iHeartMedia and Premiere Networks), launching December 23, 2020. This show provides advice to anyone seeking insight on any variety of supernatural experiences, from angels to Shadow People®. She is also the host of "Angels to Aliens with Heidi Hollis "on the BLEAV Podcast Network. This show provides some of the latest news and authors on a variety of topics of mystery and paranormal.
Her bestselling* book," The Secret War: A True Story About a Real Alien War and Shadow People (2014)" (written in 1997 and first published in 2001 as, "The Secret War: The Heavens Speak of the Battle"), was the first to detail the Shadow People® and Hat Man® phenomena. These shadowy entities, Hollis directly connected to the alien phenomenon reported worldwide. This book also addresses other mysteries like ancient civilizations, cryptozoological creatures, crop circles and more. Since her many appearances on various radio and television programs, Hollis has received thousands of encounters from around the globe on these dark creatures and other mysterious experiences.
Her follow-up book, "The Hat Man®: The True Story of Evil Encounters (2014)", delves deeper into the menacing Hat Man® entity that is able to step out from the shadows and other Shadow People®. He can appear as a shadow of a man, often wearing various hats, or none at all. Sometimes he's seen wearing a trench coat or cape, a chained watch or a cane. Details can be seen of his face where some can see if he's clean shaven or his entire body can be shadowed to simply reveal red eyes. Hat Man® can show up in people's dreams or on the road they're traveling on. He tends to be seen more at night but can be seen at all times of day taunting, stalking or staring.
Hollis' other books also stand in the vein of spiritual warfare that have been well received by readers. Her most highly reviewed and regarded book is based on encounters with Jesus entitled, "Jesus Is No Joke: A True Story of an Unlikely Witness Who Saw Jesus (2008)". As a one-time skeptic of such encounters, Hollis honestly tears back her misconceptions and reveals her process of enlightenment, mixed with her unique humor in realizing Jesus' Presence within her view.
Her other books address the questions she often receives from experiencers on how to combat something so obviously evil, as they feel defeated by not protecting themselves well enough or through a lack of faith. "Picture Prayers: How to Pray Like the Angels (2009)", tells how angels communicate with God via visuals, since "words fall short of what is meant."
To be a comic strip artist and illustrator, Hollis often admits, that's all she's ever wanted to be when she grew up. She has had her comic strip, "Shaken, Not Stirred," syndicated nationwide while still in college and has now created the paranormal comic strip, "The Outlanders" (Oct 2016-present). Based on truth and humor in the world of the paranormal, The Outlanders have had millions of readers.
With spiritual warfare being a focus on combating the onslaught of Shadow People® and Hat Man®, Hollis wanted to use her skills to help children facing these demons. "The Fickle Finders: Investigates the Other "F" Word (Faith)(2013/2018)", is based on characters Hollis has drawn since her college days, Nina and Joe. This Middle Grade book dives into a fun adventure as they learn what Faith looks like in everyday life and comes with a teaching lesson plan for parents and teachers.
Hollis had such a great response from the children's book, she then wrote and illustrated a version for grownups, "The Other "F" Word: How to Find Faith and Laugh at Yourself While Trying (2018)". This book goes through the silly attempts most go through to try and get right with their Faith, but then reveals the awesome triumphs when the right path is found.
Having heard from many children also dealing with Shadow People® and Hat Man® attacks, Hollis wrote and illustrated a book to show the first steps to keeping them away with, "The Hat Man: A Guide in Comics on How to Get Rid of Dark Beings for All Ages (2018)".
Hollis has also written for various formats on everything from Bigfoot to angels, including in her unique column "Alien Advice" for Weird Magazine. Other publications include: Reform Magazine (UK), Alien Advice The Mothership Chronicles, UFO Magazine (UK), Austin Para Times, Weird Magazine, Pure Inspiration Magazine, Paranormal News, UFO Magazine (US), Unknown Magazine, UFO2U's various sub-sites and site, Pancake Perspectives, W-Files and writing and producing the School Afloat segment for the Emmy Award winning television series Into the Outdoors.
Heidi Hollis has hosted and co-hosted live radio and podcast since the year 2000 (starting with SETLAB Chat) for various networks like CBS Radio, BLEAV Podcast Network and on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Her shows, The Darker Side of Life with Heidi Hollis, Heidi Hollis~The Outlander and Angels to Aliens with Heidi Hollis (AKA The Outlander), are heard worldwide. She's also been a frequent guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory since 2002 and other popular radio programs.
Hollis often is asked to give insight and advice on a variety of experiences people have had, especially since she has experienced many things herself. From growing up in a haunted house to encounters with Jesus, Hollis draws from her life of mystery to help others find the answers they need. So, she invites anyone to reach out to her via her website (HeidiHollis) to share, comment or ask what they would like-all in hopes of helping people get over any trauma with a mystery attached to it.
