- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying Santa Claus is a cryptid and calm down.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: He's obviously a Tolpa.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_01]: He's definitely a weirdo.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_01]: He's made it to the show.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: I thought, I don't know, I just kind of get in the Christmas spirit the season around this time.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I really big Halloween person.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: My second favorite holiday is probably either.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably fourth of July because I get to blow stuff up.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: But my third is Christmas.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I like Christmas for one thing.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_01]: And that's for making other people happy.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really care for the lights and the decorations and the music.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_01]: I just like a time where I get to make people happy.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_00]: I love languages like gift giving.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_01]: Same.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_01]: I do.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_01]: I do enjoy that.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: I'm beginning to that.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_00]: So I figure I'm going to give you guys the gift of a part two episode of the episode that everyone hated.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_00]: So Mary Christmas if that doesn't say love.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what does Mary Christmas there's There's not a whole lot of particularly creepy ones but there are like it's it's wild to me that so many people are recalling Seeing Santa Claus That's bonkers.
- 8:00[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying aliens dog
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, screen memories.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: I've been put a bunch of stuff out there what it could be.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say I ripped it because I'm trying to hear that But on that note, we will jump right into it and I've got them separated into like three different tiers here.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_00]: So the first few
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I don't want to call them auditory hallucinations because I feel it kind of takes away from the experience.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_00]: The first few are people that think that they heard Santa Claus.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_00]: The next few will be people that saw Santa Claus like inside their homes and the last few will be people that saw Santa Claus flying in his sleigh.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: So I got them teared up.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: All right, on that, in the Paranormal Board on Reddit, Reddit or Golden Rare, post the two years ago.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: I can do this day recall here, or I can do this day recall hearing reindeer hooves on my roof in the slay landing.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_00]: It was a quiet but audible thud.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: I heard Santa's footsteps.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: This happened every year for several years when I was very young.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_00]: It was in the late 90s and early 2000s.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: My mom hyped it up when I was young of course, but as I grew older, she thought maybe it was my dad.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: But my dad was not a quiet man when he walked.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: He would wake the entire house up just to use the bathroom.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: One time, back when we had more snow, we had footprints in our front yard.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: My dad smoked cigarettes multiple packs a day, and used to go out for a smoke at night before bed.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: But I knew his footsteps and when he came across the front yard to the front door, and there were no cigarette butts in the yard on the fresh snow, so I knew this couldn't have been my dad.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: I was good detective move there.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and the fact that this happened multiple times.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's definitely strange.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely strange.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we all do know because I currently do it.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_01]: But everybody knows the dad walk through the house that though, though, though, though, though.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: It's a total disregard.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_01]: There ain't much sneaking around being a dad.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: No, I got it.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: I got it.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: I do the same thing.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: So that does resonate.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_01]: It is, it's fucking crazy that it was a thing in that person's life.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_01]: I expected, like you said two years ago, I expected them to have like the one off heard it.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_01]: Like, all right, maybe we could talk this one away but the fact that it happened so frequently is interesting.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: Santa Claus is an alien because there was a common thread when I was digging through these and kind of picking out one's to put in the episode Was that when people saw him or saw his sleigh?
- 11:15[SPEAKER_00]: They almost almost maybe not immediately, but within minutes fell right back asleep Just like would see a Yeah, I hope he is an alien it makes the most sense he's got one of them time warp bubbles around to sleigh
- 11:32[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't mean he's just given everybody radiation.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Usually Santa Claus you're dead within seven years.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a giant X-ray machine just blasting all over the place.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_00]: Not really kids.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: If your kid is kids listening to not really, he's not going to get radiation poisoned from Santa Claus.
- 11:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is like a comedic episode.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_00]: Cypatheticals.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this one's a little bit older 11 years ago, also posted to the Paranormal Thread by a editor on Kenny Valley girl who says, honest to God, I heard Santa Slay on my roof.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_00]: I was probably 5 or 6, it was Christmas night, and I was completely awake.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_00]: Thinking about Santa, my mother and father were asleep in the room next to me snoring loudly.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_00]: they did not have a radio in their room or a television and our only neighbors were an ancient Italian couple with rough English and early bed times.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was around midnight.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: I heard hoof beats on the roof above me and the sound of jingle bells.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: It was completely unmistakable.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: The weird thing is, is that I never believed in Santa.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_00]: I was a skeptic from birth, and would only accept that which could be proven to me.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: But this, this was weird.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_00]: There was no way it could have come from an adjacent house.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: It was too loud, and it was directly above me.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: I have still to this day have no idea what that was.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God damn Scully, you need to calm down.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't believe in nothing from birth.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_00]: there were a couple that I didn't add that I thought we're interesting where people had found this one guy he said he was probably 13 or 14 years old and he was going out to burn the wrapping paper in their burning barrel and when he went out he found a like the most pristine piece of red velvet that had fallen on the freshly fallen snow that's weird
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: And then there was another woman that when she was getting out to go to the school bus the next day she saw something red on the roof.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_00]: And when she went to look, it was a piece of red velvet felt with huge jingle bells on it on the roof.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking weird.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
- 13:48[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
- 13:55[SPEAKER_01]: thing happening.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_01]: But that, like those situations are more than enough for you to say in question and be like, what the fuck?
- 14:04[SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared of hiding away.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared of it.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_00]: So I am not.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_00]: But anything on the roof, just try to convince my kids to stand as real.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and that would be like the most random thing to put out there.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_01]: That wouldn't make me necessarily convinced that it was Santa because it went to me.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_01]: They would just
- 14:24[SPEAKER_01]: be a piece of red velvet.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_01]: That's just strange.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: It is definitely fucking weird.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, it's, I don't know, it's just, it's bizarre.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of them bizarre things that like a niche, like my, my brain is just going to always go to screen memory, but I don't know that's the case.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_01]: I think Tulpe is a extremely fair analysis.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_00]: That's like, because think of how
- 14:55[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, shitloads across countries it's it's he gets a lot of a lot of energy like arguably He's up there with Jesus.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah You know, you could have a couple other religious deities that might trump him But I don't think there's very many you yeah, I don't think I'm gonna get a lot of arguments for that no
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of collective energy put into something.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_01]: There is a significant amount.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_00]: This one was from three years ago from Reddit or SignalRail Berta.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_00]: When I was eight years old, way back in 1993, my family was in Big Bear, California, as we rented a cabin there every winter.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: So the snowy Christmas Eve, as my cousin, same age as me, and I lay in bed about to go sleep, but still up talking, distinctively heard sley bells come outside coming closer and then a clunk on the roof right above us.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: Then we heard the distinct sound of the bottom of a sley slide across the wooden roof and park itself.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_00]: like imagine the sound of sharp metal sliding across wood.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: We looked at each other with a alarm and thought, holy moly, sand is here, and I hurried off to sleep.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_00]: Later, when I, of course, found out sand is not real, I remembered this incident and it creeped me out a lot.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: The concept of a topo spirit makes a lot of sense because think of how much imagined energy there is going out to foster that topo.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_01]: extremely creepy to be honest I came to find Santa the Santa concept creepiest heck in general starting at about seven years old I guess that it's but that's me that's kind of bizarre but you know what would really fuck me up is if parents and children collectively
- 16:54[SPEAKER_00]: There was one.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I added or not, if we get there and it's not buying the gift but it's the way the gifts were presented.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's weird.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: All if I remember it all.
- 17:07[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, this one's from four years ago, on Christmas Eve, when I was about seven or eight, I heard Santa Claus.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_00]: I know this sounds crazy, and that it was probably a dream, but it seemed so real to me.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_00]: I've read multiple people stories on Reddit of having similar experiences, some of them even seeing the big guy himself.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_00]: For me, I just heard him.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_00]: On Christmas Eve, I would sleep in my parents' room,
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: and you know how hard it is to sleep on Christmas with the anticipation of opening gifts.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_00]: So I was on the floor when all of the sudden I heard the classic on-danceer, on-prancer, on-donner,
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: Blitz and Bixen, I don't know, however it goes.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_00]: He was calling out the damn reindeer's names.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: You guys know the rest.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_00]: I looked over my parents, we're sound asleep, so it could not have been them.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_00]: When I looked out the window, I saw faint gold lights.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, it was just kind of floating there, like when light travels fast.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: And then I heard the wind.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember anything after this.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: My dad and grandma both had similar experiences.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_00]: In my opinion, Santa is a Tolpa.
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: so many people around the globe hoping for him and whatnot.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: However, this experience made me a true believer.
- 18:21[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting some toll put energy here, but that one, you know, on Brancer, on Diancer.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_01]: That would be fucking bizarre to hear that.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_01]: I think a better description for me
- 18:42[SPEAKER_00]: It's been three years since we did one of these, but we kind of talked about that a little bit in the last episode.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure we did.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_01]: And to me that just makes the most sense.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: Now you think about it because it's just the whole like leaving out to cookies and milk.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_01]: It's like the sweet like that.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: That has changed for the gift.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_01]: Say, written all over it.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_00]: I am.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_01]: You're for it.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_00]: This one is from one year ago titled Witness Santa Claus, I'm 38 now and I still believe.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_00]: I was in grade five, went to Florida and stayed to my grandparents' condo with my family of six, so they were eight of us all together in this small condo.
- 19:23[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't believe in Santa any more at this point.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_00]: Christmas night, my sister and I were sleeping in the same room.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_00]: There were two single beds against each side of the room.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: I woke up in the middle of the night and I heard walking around the condo, but not in the living room.
- 19:38[SPEAKER_00]: but going all around in the hallways and everywhere.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_00]: When he was walking, it sounded like he was making a swishing sound.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: Like the way you'd think a sanna suit would make.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_00]: Swish, swish, swish, up and down the halls.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: Then I would hear presence dropping.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_00]: Thud, swish, swish, thud, swish, thud, swish, swish, thud, all around the condo.
- 19:59[SPEAKER_00]: as if there would be presents literally everywhere.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: I even heard them say, Ho Ho Ho a few times, but it was in a low tone and sounded almost robotic in a kind of way.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_00]: I was laying there listening to all that's going on, the swishing and the dropping of presents was getting closer and closer to my room coming down the hall.
- 20:20[SPEAKER_00]: Then it was in my room.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_00]: Between our beds, literally right next to me, standing there.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_00]: My heart was beating so hard.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_00]: I thought for sure, he knew that I was awake and he could hear my heart beating.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_00]: Everything inside of me said to open your eyes and take a look at Santa, but honestly, I was so terrified beyond belief I couldn't even open one eye and fear of what I would see.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_00]: Then it swooshed out of my room, back down the hall, dropping presents as it went.
- 20:47[SPEAKER_00]: After that, I heard what sounded like reindeer outside and the sound of him flying away, just like on the movies with the sound of jingle bells and all, off into the night.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: In the morning, I told my sister what had happened, and she was like, oh my god, I heard that too.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: There were no presents all around the house.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: There were just a small amount in the living room under the tree.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: ever since I've asked my parents and my grandparents about this, and they think I'm crazy and that they had nothing to do with it.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: My grandfather died last year at an old age.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_00]: And shortly before he died, I asked him again.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_00]: He said, he knew nothing about it, and he probably thought I was insane.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: Also to this day, I can talk to my sister about it, and she's still unsure.
- 21:27[SPEAKER_00]: Or she's still sure that it happened, but cannot explain it.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_00]: And she keeps it to herself unlike me.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: Robot Santa.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_01]: All I heard was Stan, I was wearing a de-distract suit.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, cause you had a squishy noise.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_00]: Switch pants.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what we could deliver a presence faster You know, I forget I hope so you know, I've tracked so you do everything fast during a track suit.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_01]: Oh duh Everything and the only thing that would have made it better is if he had a gold chain on
- 22:02[SPEAKER_01]: That's how corn climb and I guess he has jingle bells.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like having a biggest change.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_00]: Basically the same thing, technically.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_01]: It does make me think of the corn to do this, the green to do this track soon.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: That's how corn climb the charts so fast because they had tracks with them.
- 22:18[SPEAKER_00]: Skyrocketed.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we got another one here.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_00]: From one year ago, a editor rarefined of the mind says, I've had a Santa experience too.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_00]: Hand to God, it was real, and my dad also witnessed it.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_00]: Christmas Eve 1986, I was seven.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: My dad snored, so my mom would put me in her bed and then sleep in mine.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: On this night, that was just the case.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_00]: Me and my dad were dead asleep and both woke to a loud thump on the roof.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_00]: The first thing I said was Santa, but my father was terrified.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_00]: He thought the roof was caving in.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: He told me not to move and he got out of bed and then I know this sounds insane, but we both hear hooves and then jingle bells.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_00]: The whole time I'm super stoked because Sam is here and my dad is basically having an out of body experience due to the fear of what's going on.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_00]: My mother slept through it.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: When I got older, I thought it must have been an adorable stunt.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_00]: My dad had pulled off somehow.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: I asked him the last time I saw him.
- 23:19[SPEAKER_00]: He was sick in near death.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_00]: He told me he swore on everything holy that he had nothing to do with it.
- 23:25[SPEAKER_00]: He thought it could be an intruder.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_00]: Then when we heard the bells in the hooves, he knew that it wasn't.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_00]: He thought about it many times over the years, but never told anyone about it.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_00]: He finally just accepted that it was something that he could not explain, and that we both witnessed some kind of magic that night.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's why, yet two stories now that cooperate being counter.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_01]: It's not, it's not somebody being crazy.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: And this one in particular, you have an adult that's like,
- 23:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and responding like an adult would like oh shit, it's almost trying to get in the house.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, you almost can't write it up as write it off as like group psychosis, because obviously these people aren't all hallucinating the same thing.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't think so.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that's a
- 24:20[SPEAKER_01]: very hard scenario to come across.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_00]: And like I lean like I lean heavy toward all, but because of all the amount of energy put into it.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm going going to fail.
- 24:34[SPEAKER_01]: Phase good too.
- 24:36[SPEAKER_01]: And I actually have some shit pulled up that we can talk about at the end of the show.
- 24:40[SPEAKER_00]: Hell yeah.
- 24:41[SPEAKER_00]: Alien screen memory could be a good one too because of that.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:45[SPEAKER_00]: if you want to get into people's house houses and not be suspicious and you're not of this planet and you see this big red guy all over every billboard or in every TV commercial forever you can be like hmm maybe not be the red guy for this night and not raising the eyebrows and in turn you're definitely raising some eyebrows definitely not normal to see Santa Claus
- 25:15[SPEAKER_00]: This is wild because I swear I saw Santa Claus when I was four years old.
- 25:20[SPEAKER_00]: He was bending over, getting presents out of his bag.
- 25:23[SPEAKER_00]: What's wilder is that my twin sister saw him too.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: Out of fear, we went back to sleep immediately.
- 25:30[SPEAKER_00]: And woke up later with the excitement that we saw Santa Claus.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds berserk, and I know there's no such thing as a shared hallucination.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_00]: honorable mention when my sister and I were nine, we heard what sounded like reindeer hooves and bells, literal jingle bells on the roof of our house.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_00]: We were thirty or we're 31 now and still talk about seeing Santa to this day.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: And I know you know it sounds crazy, but it's what happened.
- 26:00[SPEAKER_00]: Again, another two for?
- 26:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 26:03[SPEAKER_00]: There are there are shared hallucinations, though.
- 26:06[SPEAKER_00]: That is an actual
- 26:08[SPEAKER_01]: How does that happen though?
- 26:10[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, what is it, what is it called?
- 26:12[SPEAKER_00]: Let me Google it.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like a man, area, something like that.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_00]: There's like a, a French name for it.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_00]: Fully, a dude or something like that.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I'm curious as to how that happens.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_01]: Like what, how does it trigger?
- 26:31[SPEAKER_01]: How does it manifest?
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, main name for shared hallucination of delusions is shared psychotic disorder or folly a do which I'm probably not saying right also called shared psychosis or shared delusion disorder.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's depending on the number of people evolve, involved, where one person, the primary case, transmits the delusions to a more passive individual in a close relationship, often a family member.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_00]: While it was a distinct diagnosis, it's now considered under general delusion disorder.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_00]: So it's almost like you have one primary person experiencing it that kind of pushes the narrative for the other person.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't seem like a case here.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_01]: Having some time to tell a pathic power, yeah.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_00]: The next we got one year ago.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: from corporate bitch 19.
- 27:31[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, good name.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_00]: Says, I think I've seen him too.
- 27:35[SPEAKER_00]: I was maybe five years old.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_00]: I was sleeping my parents bed on Christmas night and I woke up to get some water.
- 27:41[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I woke up to get some water, I guess.
- 27:44[SPEAKER_00]: Both my parents were sound asleep.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_00]: I cracked open the door and I swear that there was a man in red suit hanging out around the fireplace where Christmas tree was.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_00]: I just closed the door and went directly back to bed.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_00]: No water, just back to bed.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like I was intruding on something if I had walked out there.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_00]: My older sister also thinks that she saw him to once as a child.
- 28:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's also interesting that a lot of these are within the like four to eight age range.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_00]: Which I mean is prime.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_01]: That's prime and normal age.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_00]: And prime sanatime too.
- 28:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_00]: very interesting.
- 28:27[SPEAKER_00]: Next, three years ago from medicine embarrassed, they say, okay, this is crazy.
- 28:33[SPEAKER_00]: When I was around three or four, I vividly remember hearing someone in the living room around Christmas time.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_00]: I crawled down the hallway and behind the couch.
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: When I peeked around, Santa was putting gifts under the tree.
- 28:46[SPEAKER_00]: I never saw his face just his back.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_00]: because then I called super fast back to my room because I was so excited and didn't want him to know what I saw.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_00]: Or didn't, didn't want him to know that I saw him.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_00]: And until this very moment, I was like, how in the hell could that have been real until I'm reading other people who have also seen Santa Claus?
- 29:07[SPEAKER_01]: See, and that's, that's what so bizarre to me is nobody clocked the gifts.
- 29:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, weird.
- 29:18[SPEAKER_01]: It is weird, because like, in a roundabout way, if this actually took place, kids saw Santa Claus dropping presents off, Christmas morning they get out there, open gifts, that means there's only one explanation to me.
- 29:37[SPEAKER_01]: And that means that somehow memories were implanted in the parents of suggest that they bought the gifts.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_01]: Suss.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_01]: Fucking weird.
- 29:51[SPEAKER_01]: Suss.
- 29:54[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God, I love it.
- 29:56[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
- 29:56[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: Next one from this from Cloud Lover 1, from three years ago.
- 30:02[SPEAKER_00]: I also saw Santa as a child.
- 30:04[SPEAKER_00]: I woke up Christmas morning around five a.m.
- 30:07[SPEAKER_00]: I walked out to see what presidency bought.
- 30:09[SPEAKER_00]: I saw a transparent and color version of him.
- 30:13[SPEAKER_00]: He was facing the fireplace with his back towards me.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_00]: I was down the hall.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_00]: I went a little closer.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_00]: He turned his head to the side.
- 30:22[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want him to see me.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_00]: And at that point, I ran into my parents' room, excited, and woke them up to tell them that Santa is here.
- 30:29[SPEAKER_00]: They said, maybe he'll eat the cookies we left him.
- 30:32[SPEAKER_00]: Now go back to bed.
- 30:33[SPEAKER_00]: I was only six years old at the time and believed that he was real back then.
- 30:39[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't until I was much older that I realized that her house was haunted.
- 30:43[SPEAKER_00]: Since I saw other paranormal things over the years.
- 30:46[SPEAKER_00]: When you're a child, you don't quite understand what you're seeing.
- 30:49[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that really scared me was when I woke up to use the bathroom.
- 30:53[SPEAKER_00]: I saw my three-year-old brother walk right by me and disappear into the hallway mirror.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_00]: getting chills writing about this part.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_00]: It was also transparent in color, a version of him, wearing PJs, he had on that night.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_00]: I was terrified and ran into my parents room to wake them up.
- 31:08[SPEAKER_00]: I told them what I'd seen.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_00]: They just thought I was having a nightmare.
- 31:11[SPEAKER_00]: We did have a Ouija board in the house that we played with a lot.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure if that brought the spirits in though.
- 31:16[SPEAKER_00]: Years later, we found out that there was a burial ground at some point.
- 31:20[SPEAKER_00]: on our property.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_00]: I do feel amazes than a doll that I had these experiences.
- 31:24[SPEAKER_00]: I also love this sub for the fact that there's so many others who have had similar spooky experiences.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_00]: No one thinks you're crazy.
- 31:33[SPEAKER_00]: We promise.
- 31:35[SPEAKER_00]: Saw the ghost of Santa.
- 31:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, almost it almost is like a fucking timeslip portal area.
- 31:46[SPEAKER_01]: to see in your your brother as well, or your sibling, it's almost like it's not a ghost fragments of time that are replaying, which could lead credence to be in an alien, although it is great time bubble.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_01]: It's creepy that the brother walked through the fucking mirror.
- 32:05[SPEAKER_01]: That's terrifying.
- 32:12[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're fake portals.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 32:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 32:16[SPEAKER_00]: This one's recent four months ago.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_00]: I saw something resembling Santa Claus on Christmas Eve when I was around six years old.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_00]: It was in the middle of the night and I got up to use the bathroom, which is right at the top of the stairs.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_00]: At the bottom of the stairs, facing up towards me was a life-sized 2D figure of Santa Claus, not like a flat cardboard cutout, but the type made of a molded celluloid.
- 32:45[SPEAKER_01]: I believe this is a molded celluloid.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I'm going to google it though.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_01]: What's a molded celluloid everyone?
- 32:52[SPEAKER_01]: Because it sucks.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_01]: I was hoping for like a flat image.
- 32:55[SPEAKER_00]: Car boy, car boy could out.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was hoping for.
- 33:02[SPEAKER_00]: What is a molded celluloid?
- 33:05[SPEAKER_00]: Let's look here, molded celluloid refers to objects made from celluloid, the first commercially successful plastic, creating mixing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, molded into intricate forms like jewelry, doll parts, buttons, imitation ivory, and tortoise shells.
- 33:21[SPEAKER_00]: So like a doll.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 33:24[SPEAKER_00]: Which is, it feels creepier than it does feel, I think I would rather see the cardboard head out.
- 33:31[SPEAKER_00]: Need to, because you could just fold it over it and run away.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just punch it in its head, fucking floss backwards.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: I believed in Santa at the time in my family's Christmas tree was near the foot of the stairs, but we did not own any type of huge Christmas decorations or any other wall hangings of that type or size.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_00]: If we had it, it wouldn't have been standing there where it was obstructing the access to the stairs.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_00]: And my parents were not the prankster types, even if they had been such large cutouts were not available to buy in any stores.
- 34:06[SPEAKER_00]: Because this was a very many years ago.
- 34:09[SPEAKER_00]: I remember being shocked, but not doing anything about it.
- 34:13[SPEAKER_00]: Just going back into the bedroom I shared with my sister, who I did tell about later and going to bed.
- 34:24[SPEAKER_00]: I love that the answer is just go to bed.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, that's our way of safe space.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 34:32[SPEAKER_00]: Two years ago, one of my earliest memories is seeing something I swore was Santa on Christmas Eve.
- 34:38[SPEAKER_00]: I was around four years old, I woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and went to grab a drink of water.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_00]: I saw a soft, bluish light moving in my living room, but it figured it was just our Christmas tree, until I got to the doorway of our living room and saw almost like a cloud of sparkles.
- 34:55[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure how to describe it, but it was swirling around and moving independently
- 35:02[SPEAKER_00]: and was so beautiful.
- 35:04[SPEAKER_00]: I remembered that I moved and creaked a board underneath me and that made it freeze.
- 35:09[SPEAKER_00]: And I felt like I was, or like it was looking at me.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_00]: Even though it had no eyes, I got scared and I immediately ran back to my bedroom and went to bed.
- 35:18[SPEAKER_00]: I tried telling kids at school but no one believed me and I got made fun of.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think I ever really told anyone about it since to be honest.
- 35:27[SPEAKER_01]: It's a fucking ruthless.
- 35:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_00]: That kind of leads Fey-wise, too, being a little sparkly and shit.
- 35:34[SPEAKER_01]: Bro, I'm heavy-leaning, Fey.
- 35:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think you made me want to something here.
- 35:41[SPEAKER_00]: three years ago, from Reddit or Riazambi, I have an extremely vivid memory from when I was six to eight years old.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_00]: My parents were divorced, and at that time, my dad had me on weekends.
- 35:53[SPEAKER_00]: We always woke up rather early, and that year I was up around four or five a.m. My dad was packing up the truck with gifts to take us to my step mom's father's house.
- 36:03[SPEAKER_00]: While my stepmom or while my stepmom was in the bathroom, I looked outside the front door, waiting patiently, and excitedly when I noticed something moved up on my neighbor's house.
- 36:13[SPEAKER_00]: They have recently built the house and moved inside.
- 36:16[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody was awake at that time.
- 36:18[SPEAKER_00]: On their roof set a moderately sized inflatable Santa with a slay decoration.
- 36:23[SPEAKER_00]: Directly behind it, I noticed another Santa in the flesh.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_00]: or as real as it seemed to be, hiding behind this inflatable Santa.
- 36:34[SPEAKER_00]: His eyes caught mine, and he moved a finger up to his mouth, as if to say, shhh.
- 36:41[SPEAKER_00]: I remember this so vividly, and it's been over 14 years.
- 36:46[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking creepy.
- 36:47[SPEAKER_00]: That is, ate that.
- 36:50[SPEAKER_01]: I hate that he did the shush thing.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 36:53[SPEAKER_00]: Like don't you tell us the old?
- 36:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 36:56[SPEAKER_00]: there was actually more than one that I came across where he pushes them when they make eye contact.
- 37:03[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it is like a trope, you know.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely a trope, but it's like a creepy Coca-Cola commercials and stuff.
- 37:13[SPEAKER_00]: You see.
- 37:13[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_00]: I love it, all right, I'm going to carry on.
- 37:18[SPEAKER_00]: My sister always talks about how when we were little, she saw Santa delivering presents to us.
- 37:24[SPEAKER_00]: She says everyone was asleep when she saw him.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_00]: She only saw his boots, pants, and hurt his bells, but she says it was for sure him because of the gifts that he was leaving.
- 37:35[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody says this is my grandpa, but he always says that she's mistaken and he's never dressed up as Santa.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_00]: That morning I snuck into my grandparents' room, looking for any traces of that day I'm sanna suit.
- 37:48[SPEAKER_00]: I checked every corner of the house, nothing.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it wasn't him because I couldn't remember seeing only a fat small figure for about two seconds until immediately falling back to sleep.
- 38:00[SPEAKER_00]: My grandpa was about six, three.
- 38:02[SPEAKER_00]: The figure could have only been about five, eight.
- 38:05[SPEAKER_00]: To this day, I still don't know what happened that night and to be honest, I don't know or I
- 38:12[SPEAKER_00]: Just adding that neither of us have a mental disorder, nor does our family have any history of mental disorders.
- 38:20[SPEAKER_01]: I love that they put that disclaimer in there.
- 38:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was another two for I mean, Ms. Red, the first sentence because she and her sister both saw Santa Claus.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_01]: It's also crazy how many people.
- 38:32[SPEAKER_01]: It's like try to rationalize it, too.
- 38:34[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it was probably just your grandpa.
- 38:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 38:37[SPEAKER_00]: Strange man in the house, snooping around.
- 38:39[SPEAKER_00]: Sprinkle and dust all over everyone.
- 38:42[SPEAKER_00]: Making everybody immediately fall asleep.
- 38:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 38:44[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Cosby and everybody.
- 38:47[SPEAKER_00]: Just your dad.
- 38:48[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about it.
- 38:50[SPEAKER_00]: See, see, see two feet shorter than how tall your dad is.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Santa Claus is a short king.
- 38:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 38:57[SPEAKER_00]: Next we have an older one, 11 years ago, from editor Snowman on X to C.
- 39:05[SPEAKER_00]: So that means says, Oh, no, no, no, no, this is this is a continuing.
- 39:09[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, continues from the last one.
- 39:11[SPEAKER_00]: People wanted her to ask her sister for more details because the two saw it.
- 39:18[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, my bad, I just asked for more details.
- 39:21[SPEAKER_00]: My sister says he wasn't tall or anywhere as tall as my grandpa was and he wasn't as short as my grandma or parents were at work, which is nowhere near my grandparents house.
- 39:31[SPEAKER_00]: He was her, he was.
- 39:35[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what she meant to say there says he was paper entry just like you'd expect Santa to look like with his black boots red and white pants and a black belt.
- 39:44[SPEAKER_00]: She said she went back to sleep immediately because she didn't want him to know that she was awake.
- 39:49[SPEAKER_00]: She always said she did this because she thought that she had seen a really big present.
- 39:55[SPEAKER_00]: So she didn't want to risk the chance of not getting it.
- 39:58[SPEAKER_00]: the next morning we saw a gigantic Barbie Jeep next to the tree.
- 40:02[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see shit but Santa's boots in a bit of his pants.
- 40:06[SPEAKER_00]: We told our extremely extremely religious grandparents the morning of Christmas naturally they responded like they had been spooked.
- 40:14[SPEAKER_00]: They dragged us to church, thinking that we have made, seen some unholy shit.
- 40:18[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how I feel about this.
- 40:20[SPEAKER_00]: Before I thought my grandma may have been bullshitting us, but even now, he denies it or my grandpa.
- 40:26[SPEAKER_00]: He denies it and denies ever dressing up.
- 40:29[SPEAKER_00]: My grandma also gets up at 3am to go to work at 4am, and usually gets back at 5pm.
- 40:34[SPEAKER_00]: I got back around 7am that morning.
- 40:36[SPEAKER_00]: After reading some of these stories, I myself am now spooked.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_01]: So it's where the grandma grandpa took a very negative like reaction to it.
- 40:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're like, nope, it was the devil.
- 40:51[SPEAKER_01]: We got to go church.
- 40:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, get this, let's exercise this tolpa.
- 40:55[SPEAKER_01]: That's weird.
- 40:57[SPEAKER_01]: Because I, I would, I could easily see lots of people just playing it off.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, just your imagination.
- 41:03[SPEAKER_01]: It was, you know, I think you were tired and you're excited for Santa.
- 41:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's what happened.
- 41:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think it has a lot to do with the kids at that age.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_00]: from four to eight, it's all a big imagination.
- 41:14[SPEAKER_00]: Like if if the boys came in and was like, yeah, I saw a saying I saw a saying I would write it off to them being excited.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know, absolutely.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_00]: So get some weird how things line up there.
- 41:27[SPEAKER_00]: Next we got one from three years ago.
- 41:30[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I woke up to sounds on the roof of someone walking.
- 41:34[SPEAKER_00]: I was on the second floor when out of my room down the hall to the balcony and stairs that lead down to the living room where the tree was set up.
- 41:41[SPEAKER_00]: And right there on the couch, I saw a big, long bearded man dressed up as Santa, sitting with his head and his hands and his elbow on his knees.
- 41:50[SPEAKER_00]: almost like he was exhausted and taking a small break.
- 41:54[SPEAKER_00]: I quietly ran into my mom's room and woke her up to come see, but of course he was gone when I got back to look again.
- 42:00[SPEAKER_00]: It was super real and honestly for years and years I thought my mom had paid her sister's husband to come and trick me.
- 42:09[SPEAKER_00]: That would be one hell of an elaborate trick to set up.
- 42:12[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, now that I'm grown up, I tell that story to everyone as if it were real.
- 42:17[SPEAKER_00]: Could have been a vivid dream that I've held on to, but it is fun to tell people that we'll listen.
- 42:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good, tired Santa.
- 42:31[SPEAKER_01]: Very interesting.
- 42:35[SPEAKER_01]: Seeing Santa regardless is interesting.
- 42:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 42:40[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if I've seen Santa and I've just screenblocked it.
- 42:44[SPEAKER_01]: I hope so.
- 42:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 42:47[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, we got another one here from three years ago.
- 42:49[SPEAKER_00]: When I was around four years old, very late on Christmas Eve.
- 42:53[SPEAKER_00]: I heard my bedroom door creak open.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_00]: I slightly opened my eyes and saw a man in the traditional Santa outfit looking at me.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_00]: I immediately gasped and he put his fingers to his lips and shushed me.
- 43:08[SPEAKER_00]: I closed my eyes for a second.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_00]: And when I opened them again, he was gone.
- 43:12[SPEAKER_00]: And believe me, when I say that my father was definitely not the type of man to dress as Santa.
- 43:17[SPEAKER_00]: He was not the type of man to dress as Santa.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_01]: I told my mother in the next morning, and she just gave me a really weird look.
- 43:38[SPEAKER_01]: have noticed that cookies in milk was eight and they chalk it up to the kids and the kids chalk it up to Santa or older kids chalk it up to the parents yeah like how many parents would be like oh dang Steve I'm glad you fucking ate that cookie drank the milk could you like I didn't do that yeah and they're like well had it been the kids had it been
- 44:08[SPEAKER_00]: That's creepy.
- 44:09[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder I wonder how many times it's happened.
- 44:12[SPEAKER_01]: I guarantee you it's happened.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.
- 44:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_00]: I've got a couple more here.
- 44:22[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, this one is from three years ago, from editor Delph C8, says as weird as it sounds, there are apparently paranormal Santa Claus sightings happening, below is a story of friend shared.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_00]: This friend was five or six at the time.
- 44:36[SPEAKER_00]: I also spoke with someone who said their neighbor growing up shared a similar story.
- 44:41[SPEAKER_00]: She was an elderly woman and shared this story with tears in her eyes.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_00]: She was out walking alone through the snow in the countryside one night when she began hearing
- 44:50[SPEAKER_00]: above her in the air flew a sleigh with white reindeer.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_00]: The man in the sleigh was a very muscular mountain man type with a long beard and appointed green hat, like some early renditions of Santa Claus.
- 45:03[SPEAKER_00]: He was holding a wand.
- 45:05[SPEAKER_00]: Was this a true story?
- 45:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but there are many accounts involving Santa here on Reddit.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_00]: And most of them appear to be creepy or eerie.
- 45:13[SPEAKER_00]: Below was my friends
- 45:19[SPEAKER_00]: This is the Friends account.
- 45:20[SPEAKER_00]: Now these Santa's sightings I'm intrigued because once when I was about five or six, I was convinced that I saw Santa flying in the sky.
- 45:28[SPEAKER_00]: I told my mom, which at the time she played it up, the later is a teen and I brought it up.
- 45:34[SPEAKER_00]: She said it just must have been an airplane or something.
- 45:37[SPEAKER_00]: But it definitely was not a plane.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_00]: It did not move in a straight study line like a plane.
- 45:42[SPEAKER_00]: In order to have any kind of landing gear lights like a plane.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 45:47[SPEAKER_00]: I still remember watching it through my bedroom window, watching it in the night sky weaving up and down.
- 45:53[SPEAKER_00]: It looked exactly how you would imagine Santa in his sleigh.
- 45:57[SPEAKER_00]: with the reindeer flying through the sky.
- 45:59[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly how you would think it would look.
- 46:01[SPEAKER_00]: It even went across the moon in a very classic silhouette of Santa with this seven reindeer.
- 46:08[SPEAKER_00]: Nine reindeer, how many reindeer are there?
- 46:10[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, fucking no.
- 46:12[SPEAKER_00]: Santa in all of his reindeer.
- 46:15[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you could only see it because of the moonlight, not close enough to see any detail like colors or anything.
- 46:21[SPEAKER_00]: It just looked like a sleigh with reindeer gliding across the moon.
- 46:25[SPEAKER_00]: I woke up at 2am from excitement, crept out to the living room and saw the presence from Santa and the stockings, and I was super excited.
- 46:32[SPEAKER_00]: I went back to bed, obviously too excited to sleep.
- 46:35[SPEAKER_00]: I was just waiting there for there to be enough daylight to wake my parents up, and I was staring out the window while laying in my bed when I saw it.
- 46:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is where I start like the people seeing Santa with the sleigh.
- 46:47[SPEAKER_00]: I will touch on the one that I didn't write down and then I thought was interesting because you were asking about presence and they were having Christmas dinner like six in the evening and they were all set around the table.
- 47:00[SPEAKER_00]: The tree already had gifts underneath it and they had the tags with people's names on them but no, there were no like from such and such, from such and such,
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: So as they were sitting there eating the grandmother began to feel weird, she was like kind of feeling nauseous, kind of getting light headed.
- 47:22[SPEAKER_00]: And this continued more and more people started feeling faint and light headed, then all of a sudden out of nowhere, they all feel good again when they go back to get the gifts.
- 47:37[SPEAKER_00]: Now,
- 47:38[SPEAKER_00]: There were new tags on the gifts and one of them said from Santa, like it is just sort of created itself from nowhere.
- 47:53[SPEAKER_01]: It's awesome.
- 47:55[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome and terrifying at the same time.
- 47:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 48:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 48:00[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we're going to continue here.
- 48:01[SPEAKER_00]: Got a few more.
- 48:08[SPEAKER_00]: Tara Incognita says it's funny my younger brother said he saw Santa when he was little too.
- 48:14[SPEAKER_00]: He said that he woke up in the middle of the night and looked out his window and saw flying slay with reindeer in the sky.
- 48:20[SPEAKER_00]: It was a full moon and very bright.
- 48:22[SPEAKER_00]: This was quite a while ago.
- 48:24[SPEAKER_00]: I always said he was probably dreaming or imagining it as he was pretty young but reading these gets me thinking.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_00]: If spirits and energy, well, if spirits and entities get their energy from people as lots of researchers say, then it would be reasonable to assume that in the event, in the event like Christmas, there is lots of concentrated energy feeding this one particular entity.
- 48:48[SPEAKER_00]: not only children but adults as well.
- 48:51[SPEAKER_00]: I have to assume that 99% of adults don't believe in Santa Claus because there's the whole spirit of Christmas, decorations of the guy, movies, people are constantly thinking about him during Christmas.
- 49:03[SPEAKER_00]: If we prescribe to the theory that spirits do draw energy from people and emotions, maybe it's not too absurd to say that he would be
- 49:18[SPEAKER_00]: Three years ago from Love Sick Dog, my wife is from a small town in the mountains of West Virginia.
- 49:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's basically a village nestled in the mountains.
- 49:26[SPEAKER_00]: Back in the early 80s around December, her father was outside just before dark, messing with something in the garage.
- 49:32[SPEAKER_00]: When he yelled for her, or when he yelled for her mom to come and look at something, my wife being around five or six, obviously followed to see what was going on.
- 49:41[SPEAKER_00]: She said she remembers her parents being startled and confused.
- 49:45[SPEAKER_00]: when she saw what here her father was pointing at up in the sky, she looked up.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_00]: She said there was Santa in his sleigh, reindeer and all.
- 49:55[SPEAKER_00]: She said it was silent and producing what she can only described as star dust falling behind it.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_00]: She said the people who were outside were all completely shocked and confused at what they were seeing.
- 50:05[SPEAKER_00]: Her being so young, she thought it was strange that people were confused and scared because it's Santa.
- 50:11[SPEAKER_00]: She was stoked.
- 50:12[SPEAKER_00]: she said she could make out the sleigh in the reindeer clearly.
- 50:15[SPEAKER_00]: Her parents are actually her grandparents, so they are in their 80s now.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_00]: Her father doesn't remember it at all, which isn't surprising considering his condition, and her mother remember seeing, quote, something strange that day, but does not recall what it was.
- 50:31[SPEAKER_00]: Let me say this, I completely understand it's difficult for people to believe anything a stranger on the internet says.
- 50:38[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to try to convince anyone.
- 50:40[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what they saw, but I do know my wife.
- 50:44[SPEAKER_00]: She's not the type of person to lie or even exaggerate stories.
- 50:47[SPEAKER_00]: She's very matter-of-fact type of woman and a zero interest in this kind of stuff.
- 50:52[SPEAKER_00]: To her, anything supernatural is, that's weird.
- 50:55[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, she doesn't make a big deal out of it.
- 50:58[SPEAKER_00]: or she doesn't make a big deal out of what she's experienced.
- 51:01[SPEAKER_00]: And if it were for my curiosity, she wouldn't even have brought it up.
- 51:07[SPEAKER_00]: So that's interesting.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_00]: There was a mass sighting there.
- 51:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 51:12[SPEAKER_00]: This one, oh shoot, I didn't.
- 51:15[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do it adults do and try to logically explain it away.
- 51:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 51:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm so sorry, it was weird, it was probably damn UFO because then I'm not real.
- 51:32[SPEAKER_00]: This one's from a few years ago, I had an experience as a kid.
- 51:34[SPEAKER_00]: He or had a similar experience as a kid.
- 51:38[SPEAKER_00]: He looked like claymation to be honest.
- 51:40[SPEAKER_00]: I was wide awake, probably like nine years old.
- 51:43[SPEAKER_00]: I saw him fly down the street with four reindeer.
- 51:47[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really have
- 51:51[SPEAKER_00]: This is one thing that happened that made me remember my entire life.
- 51:55[SPEAKER_00]: Clay, Mason.
- 51:57[SPEAKER_01]: Bro, this makes me excited.
- 51:59[SPEAKER_01]: I just picture like Gumby, style Santa Claus.
- 52:05[SPEAKER_01]: Sipping down the road.
- 52:06[SPEAKER_00]: Celebrity death match Santa Claus.
- 52:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
- 52:10[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking awesome.
- 52:13[SPEAKER_00]: This one's from three years ago.
- 52:16[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, so I've been flamed for posting the storyline before, but you're post-7 inspired me.
- 52:22[SPEAKER_00]: This happened Christmas Eve 2015.
- 52:23[SPEAKER_00]: I was 25 years old and working at a big box store.
- 52:28[SPEAKER_00]: We all got off a bit early around 3am and I was driving home.
- 52:32[SPEAKER_00]: It was so beautiful out that night.
- 52:34[SPEAKER_00]: It was gently snowing and the streets were deserted.
- 52:37[SPEAKER_00]: About a half a mile ahead of me.
- 52:40[SPEAKER_00]: there at a stoplight, I clearly saw a sleigh with reindeer across the intersection.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_00]: My first thought was someone was actually out on the street with a sleigh, but this was in the middle of an urban neighborhood, and the sleigh had no lights or reflectors on it.
- 52:56[SPEAKER_00]: When I passed the intersection, second's later, the sleigh had vanished.
- 53:02[SPEAKER_01]: That's fucking awesome.
- 53:04[SPEAKER_01]: That's the best one.
- 53:07[SPEAKER_01]: But we would have been better if like Santa would have like waved him on like oh he's going to go You can go That's awesome God it's awesome
- 53:18[SPEAKER_00]: Next one is titled, I truly saw Santa, when I was about five years old, I was at a cookout with my parents' friends.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_00]: I vividly remember it was my first time trying oysters, and I got a 25 piece plastic T-set as a Christmas gift.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_00]: After the first round of oysters, and presents, all of the parents were drunk around the fire, making smalls.
- 53:41[SPEAKER_00]: I heard bills, and since it was 2009, I highly doubt high quality projectors exist, but I knew what planes were, and I know what I saw.
- 53:51[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up, and I saw reindeer in a sleigh.
- 53:57[SPEAKER_00]: I saw sparkles coming out of the back of the sleigh.
- 54:00[SPEAKER_00]: I tried to get my parents attention and pulled on their legs pointing at the sky, but they didn't see anything.
- 54:06[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up and down many times and still saw him until my parents looked up in a cloud pass by.
- 54:12[SPEAKER_00]: Then he was gone.
- 54:14[SPEAKER_00]: More fairy dust.
- 54:16[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say lots of sparkles.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_00]: Sparkles in dust.
- 54:21[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we should be writing this down somewhere.
- 54:23[SPEAKER_01]: It's fucking safe dude, I'm telling you.
- 54:25[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking this.
- 54:28[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, what else have I got here?
- 54:30[SPEAKER_00]: A couple more, four months ago.
- 54:33[SPEAKER_00]: So another new one.
- 54:35[SPEAKER_00]: I saw him too.
- 54:36[SPEAKER_00]: I must have been around 10 years old.
- 54:38[SPEAKER_00]: I went for a walk with my mom and brother in 1998 or so on Christmas Eve.
- 54:43[SPEAKER_00]: We lived in a small town and decided to go for a walk in the early evening.
- 54:47[SPEAKER_00]: It was snowing and I remember we looked up after hearing a wish sound.
- 54:52[SPEAKER_00]: Way up in the sky.
- 54:53[SPEAKER_00]: There was a sleigh and reindeer pulling him.
- 54:57[SPEAKER_00]: I remember waving and I don't know
- 55:04[SPEAKER_00]: We all saw the same thing, and to this day, we all swear by it.
- 55:07[SPEAKER_00]: My brother and I thought for sure, somehow, my parents had to have hired someone to shine a hologram up there, and it was something we believed, but we lived in a really small town, and it was just way too real.
- 55:21[SPEAKER_00]: It did not look like a hologram at all either.
- 55:23[SPEAKER_00]: As real is anything I had ever seen to that day or to this day, and my mom still swears,
- 55:35[SPEAKER_00]: It has made me believe that anything is possible.
- 55:38[SPEAKER_00]: I love that the go-to is my parents hired someone to put a hologram in this guy.
- 55:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 55:45[SPEAKER_01]: I'm most like that, that's almost as absurd as saying he saw Santa Claus.
- 55:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 55:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got one more here and so that was a longer one.
- 55:58[SPEAKER_00]: Title Dice Square, I saw Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
- 56:05[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
- 56:07[SPEAKER_00]: Last week I made a post on here that got a little bit of attention.
- 56:11[SPEAKER_00]: I had mentioned that the story happened in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
- 56:15[SPEAKER_00]: And then I grew up with weird stuff happening in that town all the time.
- 56:18[SPEAKER_00]: I got some replies and DMs asking me for more weird occurrences and I figured I would keep going with this one.
- 56:24[SPEAKER_00]: I know that there's always the risk that people might doubt me for having more than one strange encounter.
- 56:29[SPEAKER_00]: All I can say is that I attest that everything I have typed and will type is real, or at least experience to the best of my memory.
- 56:37[SPEAKER_00]: This happened on Christmas Eve.
- 56:40[SPEAKER_00]: In the mid to late 90s, probably 96 or 97.
- 56:43[SPEAKER_00]: I remember because I was in 4th or 5th grade, an oven age where I probably should have no longer believed in Santa, but I was clinging on to the hope, because I was pretty naive as a kid, and I also liked receiving presents.
- 56:58[SPEAKER_00]: Every Christmas Eve, my dad's Air Force buddies would host a party.
- 57:02[SPEAKER_00]: It was a tradition of my family had upheld since I was a baby, and I always loved attending because there were other kids there to play with, and we all got more presents.
- 57:11[SPEAKER_00]: I remember that we had stayed later than in past years.
- 57:14[SPEAKER_00]: Probably because I was getting older, and that it was almost midnight when we were finally driving home.
- 57:19[SPEAKER_00]: We got home and I was excited to go to bed, because, well, it's Christmas Eve.
- 57:23[SPEAKER_00]: I get to open gifts in the morning.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_00]: We exited the car and I remember how still and quiet everything was that night.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_00]: My mom and dad and I were walking from the driveway to the front door of our house when I heard a distinct oosh above my head.
- 57:37[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to describe the sound because it happened a long ago.
- 57:40[SPEAKER_00]: But to my memory, I'd like to, or I'd liken it to the sound of something flying by in a slow
- 57:52[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up instinctively and really could not properly explain what I saw.
- 57:57[SPEAKER_00]: About 40 to 50 feet above us, something the size of a small car flew by, trailing behind several pair of smaller objects.
- 58:07[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever the objects were, they made no engine like or mechanical noise.
- 58:11[SPEAKER_00]: They were very close to us and I would have heard it if it had been a helicopter or something.
- 58:17[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, it was extremely still and quiet in the outside air.
- 58:21[SPEAKER_00]: I'm absolutely not sure if this is my flawed memory making stuff up, but I do faintly remember hearing the sound of ringing sleigh bells.
- 58:32[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, I cannot attest to, or once again, all I can do is attest to my memory, but I was certain that I had seen Santa Slave fly overhead.
- 58:40[SPEAKER_00]: My parents did not notice, and I was so freaked out and surprised that I didn't even try to bring it to their attention.
- 58:47[SPEAKER_00]: I was just in shock that I had seen Santa Slave.
- 58:50[SPEAKER_00]: I went directly inside and went to bed, knowing this Santa Claus was real.
- 58:55[SPEAKER_00]: did I really seek Santa?
- 58:57[SPEAKER_00]: Who knows?
- 58:57[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not, since we're all hopefully adults here, and know that he's not actually real, but I swear I saw something that at least in Vogue Santa in my mind.
- 59:07[SPEAKER_00]: I remember very specifically that I saw what must have been a sleigh and eight reindeer even noted that Rudolph was not among them because I did not sing his glow.
- 59:18[SPEAKER_00]: I did not see his glowing red nose.
- 59:21[SPEAKER_00]: So eight reindeer, not seven or not and I was close,
- 59:25[SPEAKER_00]: Now, some folks may recognize the Colorado Springs is home of Norrad, who are known to track Santa every Christmas Eve.
- 59:33[SPEAKER_00]: Norrad, of course, has their own history of strange tales and conspiracies attached.
- 59:37[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if Santa is, or I don't know if I saw Santa for real, but I'm sure I have seen some sort of UFO.
- 59:45[SPEAKER_00]: As I'm writing this out, I've realized the similarities the story has with my previous post, both involved me seeing something weird after getting out of a car late at night.
- 59:53[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I have some sort of car exiting induced psychosis that needs to be properly diagnosed.
- 1:00:00[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, that's another weird story from the springs.
- 1:00:03[SPEAKER_00]: Let me know if you want to hear more.
- 1:00:05[SPEAKER_00]: Once again, I'm kind of weary of people thinking that I'm trying to write some series of fiction or whatever.
- 1:00:10[SPEAKER_00]: Believe what you will, but I'm happy to share my experiences.
- 1:00:15[SPEAKER_00]: So another... Santa in the sky.
- 1:00:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome.
- 1:00:22[SPEAKER_00]: That.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_00]: What do we think in Hall of Cult?
- 1:00:25[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Santa.
- 1:00:29[SPEAKER_00]: I had an actually to put a disclosure at the beginning.
- 1:00:30[SPEAKER_00]: If there's any little ears, listen in.
- 1:00:33[SPEAKER_00]: I guess Santa's as real as you want him to be.
- 1:00:37[SPEAKER_01]: So...
- 1:00:38[SPEAKER_01]: But that all being said, check this out.
- 1:00:43[SPEAKER_01]: Fanna connection to the fair there's there's the belief in house spirits because Santa Claus apparently came from European beliefs or they're in European winter spirits house spirits and faith parallels you know across Europe people believe in small supernatural beings who entered homes at night
- 1:01:10[SPEAKER_01]: reward a good behavior punished is respect, except it food offerings or active during the winter examples, brownies, uh, cobalt's, uh, other weird ones that I don't know how to say, he's being's live near hers or red or earth tone clothing, or associated with
- 1:01:37[SPEAKER_01]: leaving milk and cookies, mirrors, fay offerings, chimneys, hearths, and spirit world in folklore, chimneys where liminal gayways, hers, referrals, or centers of the home, spirits, fae, and ancestors entered through them, Santa, and hers through chimneys, which is a liminal space, appears while the household sleeps, leaves gifts unseen, the vanishes before dawn,
- 1:02:08[SPEAKER_01]: hunt their hints into the wild hunt or in winter kings.
- 1:02:12[SPEAKER_01]: Santa also resembles figures tied to the wild hunt, a supernatural procession across winter skies.
- 1:02:19[SPEAKER_01]: Keep parallels to, was that say, Odin and Woden, Long White Beard travels the sky, ate late at horse, ate reindeer, children left boots with hay, stockings, the parallel there, king of winter, seasonal ruler, brings death and rebirth themes overseas the turning of the year.
- 1:02:41[SPEAKER_01]: Santa's helpers are obviously elves who are, they, uh, what else here?
- 1:02:50[SPEAKER_01]: Santa, uh, moral surveillance equals fairy logic.
- 1:02:55[SPEAKER_01]: Santa knows when you're sleeping knows if you've been bad or good, it rewards obedience, punishes disrespect, faith, folklore works the same way.
- 1:03:04[SPEAKER_01]: He break the rules, there's consequences, respect rituals, blessings, disrespect is mischief or worse.
- 1:03:12[SPEAKER_00]: You get on that naughty list.
- 1:03:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:03:16[SPEAKER_01]: You know, bottom line Santa Claus functions exactly like a favorite weird.
- 1:03:22[SPEAKER_01]: This is her rate them Santa Claus functions exactly like a fade lord or winner house spirit.
- 1:03:30[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's got some competition.
- 1:03:32[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 1:03:33[SPEAKER_01]: Liminal seasonal gift bearing morally conditional invisible, but omnipresent dependent on ritual offerings.
- 1:03:43[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that there's that's that's heavy.
- 1:03:45[SPEAKER_01]: That is a connection and I wrongly enough because I don't know if timing will be with us or not.
- 1:03:58[SPEAKER_01]: Will we get one more night shift in before Christmas?
- 1:04:02[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do, let me look because I don't, I think our next one is on Christmas Eve is supposed to be on Christmas.

- 1:04:27[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, okay.
- 1:04:28[SPEAKER_01]: So I was debating on because we're here in this episode.
- 1:04:32[SPEAKER_01]: And I was debating on speaking about the bean.
- 1:04:36[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, we'll have one, but then it'll, so we'll have it Wednesday and it'll drop on Christmas Eve.
- 1:04:46[SPEAKER_01]: So should I talk about that on the night shift or on this episode?
- 1:04:50[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, we'll this drop.
- 1:04:52[SPEAKER_00]: Either way, this will drop the 22nd and that'll drop the 24th so we can actually.
- 1:04:57[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're listening to this right now and you didn't join the night shift, if future you didn't pass you join the night shift, you're gonna have to wait until the 24th to hear about it.
- 1:05:08[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, don't get back to the future.

- 1:05:48[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a hundred percent, I Lord.
- 1:05:52[SPEAKER_01]: Did you think about it too?
- 1:05:53[SPEAKER_01]: Failure is such a good word because he isn't a command of a bunch of elves.
- 1:05:59[SPEAKER_00]: If Failored Kyle and his nom army had to buy a battle, Failored St. Nicholas and his elf army.
