The American Institute of Modern Santology is an organization dedicated to discovering, accumulating, and documenting TANGIBLE evidence about Santa Claus.

It's mission is to define the unexplained, to prove the uncertain, and to publish the undisclosed.

Our History

The Institute was founded in 2004, but its roots existed in years prior as T.E.R.D.---an establishment dedicated to documenting credible evidence behind unexplainable phenomenon. T.E.R.D. is acclaimed for advancements it has made in the research of Sasquatch, Loch Ness, aliens, UFOs, crop circles, shadow people, paranormal activity, Dadaism, telekinesis, and other unexplainable phenomenon.

T.E.R.D. quickly became one of the most respected organizations in its field, and Dr. Darrow became sought after as one of the field's leading experts. In 2002, Dr. Darrow knew the time had come to take his experience and influence to a new level. Rather than study various, numerous phenomena, Dr. Darrow determined to focus the rest of his career and efforts on the single most important unexplained mystery of them all: Santa Claus.
