About @JOISTMAN
There's a new Urban Legend haunting the corners of our minds — and our ceilings. They call him #JOISTMAN! A paranormal entity manifested as a thick black mist that emits pressure from above. You'll feel him before you see him — that eerie suspicion danger is close! He lurks in the rafters, unfinished basements, the deep dark woods! He's menacing and raucous, and when he's on the prowl, no light can pierce his shadow.
How to slay #JOISTMAN
#JOISTMAN is an inescapable paranormal black mist that cannot be killed by any mortal means. Defying physical harm, he moves with a terrifying swiftness along the skeletal framework of the house.
Signs #JOISTMAN is near
#JOISTMAN is a psychological infection as much as a physical haunting, existing as a shapeless black mist that thrives in the rafters, joists, basement ceilings, and the deep dark woods. To the skeptic, he is dead silent — an unnoticed presence hiding in plain sight. But the moment you begin to believe in him, the moment you acknowledge the pressure bearing down from above, #JOISTMAN awakens into a menacing, raucous terror. The silence is instantly shattered by a barrage of sinister static, haunting whispers that echo your worst fears, and relentless, frantic tapping and knocking deep inside the walls. Your belief is his fuel, transforming the quiet structure of your house into a cacophonous, living nightmare that proves he isn't just lurking in the joists — he is actively hunting your sanity.
JOISTMAN - The First Visual
The First Visual
Although there are many photos and videos of the different manifestations of JOISTMAN, such as Black Mist, Electric Phenomena, Audio, and the like, the above referenced photo is the first actual physical snapshot of JOISTMAN (pictured above). This still-shot was taken Thursday July 9 2026 at 1:41 am.
This still shot was taken over the back of me when I accidently hit photo instead of video just minutes after I lay down to sleep. It is the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life!

JOISTMAN - The HUNT IS ON!
The Hunt For JOISTMAN
The hunt for JOISTMAN is on! Although its probably a bad idea—I can already tell I've successfully pissed him (it) off, I have completed two separate missions to catch JOISTMAN. So far, both missions have failed.
Using wires (He likes wires!), I've strung a long orange shop cord across my bed, then masked off around my camera phone with duct tape. I figured when JOISTMAN comes near my phone (He likes my phone), I'd catch him in the duct tape. Problem, since I have been masking up (setting the stage so to speak), He's being elusive.
I'll be posting my recent photos and hunts soon! Be sure and visit my YouTube to follow the hunt! @JOISTMAN Beware #JOISTMAN! is REAL!
