The shadow person may be the combination of the fact that when children lose something and don't find it think it was stolen combining that with the fact that they are afraid of shadows and would think that a shadow exists that steals people's things when they lose them he even says "I take your stuff after you lose them under the couch" not really cultural but that's what I think.

As for more shadow figures in American culture, there's the _Nalusa Falaya_ of Choctaw folklore. Its name literally means "long black being," and though it is usually described as a tall spindly humanoid, it is sometimes said to slither like a snake or melt into the form of a shadow. It lurks in the long shadows around dusk, frightening children from staying out too late and occasionally bewitching incautious hunters. So, it;s basically Slenderman with shadow powers.

The snatch could be simply based of Oogie Boogie in the opening from Nightmare before Christmas. I don't know if you missed this or not but Subcon Forest: Super Mario 2/USA took place in Subcon(sciousness) so that level could just be an homage to Super Mario 2 and/or the Dark World from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess/LInk to the Past/Majora's Mask.

I don't consider myself superstitious, but I have seen humanoid shadowy figures every once in a while. Although every time I've been tired, nervous, or exhausted from sleep deprivation so I've just written these occurrences as my mind playing tricks on me. Although sometimes I catch a glimpse what could be one when I'm wide awake during the day, again, I write it off as my mind messing with me. But these have been happening more often as time goes on... so it's pretty weird. I'm probably just losing my mind.

In my experience and research shadow people are typically an omen of misfortune and/or death, They commonly show up where terrible things have happened such as old prisons and scenes of gruesome atrocities such as murder. They also appear before someone is going to die, I've seen shadow people three times in my life; each time a loved one died soon after. The first time was in my back patio area, two days later my uncle died of pancreatic cancer. The next was sighted in my hallway, almost a week later my grandfather died from liver cancer. Finally was the most recent case that occurred last summer when I saw one standing at the foot of my grandmother's deathbed, the next night she succumbed to the rare form of brain cancer she was fighting.

You know, and I understand that this is off topic, but I was wondering if perhaps in a future episode, you could go into some depth of assassins creed revelations. There are many people out there who enjoy these games but I don't think many take time to learn about the historical figures and events that go on in these games. I suggest revelations because of what little people actually know about that particular time in history. Anyway, just an idea to chew over :)

I would wish to state a final time ( Especially due to feeling rude for repeating myself. ) The Snatcher was not inspired by Slenderman nor any similar reference point. Originally it was designed as my own shadow. As for it's own story, I cannot disclose that. It is something you will have to eventually figure once A Hat In Time has released. Good day to you all. :)

Dear Gaijin Goomba, I have done many research on The Snatcher can i think i have found something about him. The Snatcher is from an ancient myth from Russian folklore and the snatcher is a shadow being that hides in the shadow of a human in the day and steals a piece of something they love (heart or soul) at night he takes it and leaves them with an empty shell of a human (this is death). this may not be true thought so please give me a shoutout if i'm wrong!

You can see as if you were walking home a night and when you get home you find you have lost your phone you remember having it when you left whereever you were but now its gone and you have no idea where you lost it as if it was taken by the darkness if anything the snatcher might be closer to traditional elfs that would take peoples stuff and in some stories elfs are dark and dangerous creatures.
