From the article: Santa Claus Sightings

I saw him!
- I was probably 8 years old... we just finished our Christmas eve dinner, my family was going to their car to get our presents from them. When everyone was back inside we were going to open their presents. We suddenly heard a very loud noise and went outside to see what it was! We looked on the front porch and saw 2 big presents. They were for my cousins that were at my house. We looked up and saw Santa and his reindeer and sleigh! He was so high up in the sky so it was hard to see him! We saw a little red light at the front of his sleigh so we knew it was Rudolph! We looked around and all the parents were inside! He flew away very fast and he said Merry Christmas! It was amazing and we will never forget it!

I saw father christmas
- When i was about 8 years old i saw Father Christmas. I am 27 now with children of my own. We lived in an outer suburb of Perth WA on about an acre, its summer in Australia and it was Xmas Eve. My bed was lined up against the large window and I sat looking out into the sky. rfom my window I could see our fence with a few bushes in front and behind the fence on the neighbours yard was a large dead tree trunk that Doves use to nest in. The moon was bright that night but i dont recall if it was full moon. Suddenly from the left i saw father xmas on a sleigh he moved from left to right behind the old dead tree and up over our house, but he didnt land. I believe that he was a spirit as he a had a whitish bluish glow and was kind of see through as were the reindeers and sleigh. I will never forget that experience and have told my children about my sighting, so kids believe in Santa!! As a child i believe you are able to see these beautiful beings, childhood is a blessing, so enjoy it!

2011 Sighting in Rotherham, Uk
- To start it all, Im 10 and it was Christmas eve. I was there with my 9 month old niece, In bed till i heard my neice cry so I picked her up and carried her into my room. I looked at the time and it was 2.am and being very smart my niece raised her arm to the window. I saw a bright light shining towards my house.I rushed to the bottom of the stairs opened the stairs door slightly and there he was!!! Putting my neices presents down and mine down it was amazing! In the morning i talked to my next door neighbours house and they said a bright red light woke them up aswell and i rang all my friends, cousins and all and all of them woke in the night to see a bright light in the sky. Ps. My sister is 23.

Santa & reindeer on roof
- On Christmas Eve in 1982 my husband and I were assembling toys until late. It was around midnight when we were finally done setting everything up. We were sitting on the couch when I heard a sound like hooves on the roof and then I heard the most beautiful bells I have ever heard - sounded like crystal. I looked over at my husband to tell him and he said, "Did you hear that?" I said yes as we both jumped up to run outside. Whatever it was was gone. We lived in the mountains and did not have any close neighbors and we did not have a t.v. or radio on that night. It had also lightly snowed that night and there were no tracks of any kind leading up to our house. The next day my 4 yr. old daughter told me that she and her 2 yr. old brother had also heard Santa. Not only that but she said they both saw the sleigh/reindeers leaving our roof and watched them fly away into the distance. Their bedrooms were on the second story and they had large dormer windows to look out of.

Santa in the the sky I Cartersville, GA
- When I was 8 I was riding home from my grandparents house with my mom, grandma, 4 year old brother, and 1 year old sister (grandparents sleep at our house on Christmas). My grandpa and uncle aren't riding with us because they're sneaking presents in my dad's truck. We driving by a lonely McDonalds and we see something dashing through the clouds. We could all make out Santa's sleigh and 9 reindeer including Rudolph's nose. I had a pair of binoculars and I actually saw him in detail. He ended up dissapearing in the clouds after that. The next year I spotted him again when driving by a field. You could see a giant neighborhood up ahead, he swooped down with Ruldoloph's red nose leading the way. He was there for 10 seconds and he flew back up. None of our cameras could get a decent pic of him. I'm 16 now and Its silly to believe in Santa, but with these memories how can I not believe? It was so real, and my Mom can't even deny it.

newcastle red light
- It was 3:00 a.m. and I could not get any sleep with Bobby crying, but then I looked out my flat window and saw flying reindeer and a red thing attached to it, so I got my son Bobby and went outside and started to shout ho-ho-ho.

A red flash...
- One year many years ago when i was maybe 7 or so i got up to go to the bathroom (on christmas eve) and the bathroom was perfectly in line with the living room, so as i was walking to the bathroom, on the corner of my eye i saw this quick red flash. i dont know what it was but my best bets are that it was santa claus himself mmhmm.

The Spirit of Christmas
- when i was 5 and my sister was 8 we were sleepin in the same room on christmas eve/ christmas morning. I couldnt get to sleep because i was excited and i thought i kept hearing somthing on the roof. so i went to tell my parents that i couldnt sleep. when i came back out of their room, my sister was pointing down the hall. There was a glow that was coming from the fire place room. It was red and moving around. we krept closer and then the glow started to get brighter and come closer to us. then i remembered "he knows if you're awake... if we are awake he might not give us presents." so we both ran back to bed. i love that story. im 23 now and i still believe in santa claus! :)
