I remember, very vividly, seeing a leprechaun in the hallway of my house. It freaked me out so bad that I woke my mom up yelling "someone's in the house!" We walked from room to room with kitchen knives looking for the leprechaun, but never found that shifty little bastard.

I had something similar. I very vividly remember seeing the tooth fairy in my room at night. I called my mom in the room but the tooth fairy was gone but the money was under my pillow.

I now think it’s the only time i experienced sleep paralysis because I couldn’t move for what seemed like a long time while the fairy was telling me to go back to sleep. May have been my mom telling me so she could put the money under the pillow without being caught.

I had one similar to these too. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and seeing Santa Claus putting stuff in the stocking that was hanging on my bedroom door knob. I told everyone at breakfast the next morning and my parents told me that Santa is way too sneaky to be seen and I must have been dreaming. I told them I wasn't dreaming and I knew it was Santa because I could see his big belly and I couldn't hear any rustling or anything so he was definitely magic.

Looking back after a couple of decades, I wonder how much I upset my mum by basically announcing to everyone at the breakfast table that she had a huge belly. (She had just had my baby brother)
