About the Archive

A record of how this archive gathers, sorts, and holds unverified accounts.

Each entry is filed as a case file: place, date, source, and the account in the words it was given.

Urban legends, lore, statements, and sightings are kept in separate sections so readers can follow one thread at a time. Cross-references link related records without merging them into a single story.

We preserve folklore as it was reported, noting the source and the conditions of each record. Where an account cannot be traced, the file says so.

Every record here is an unverified account. Presence in the archive is not evidence that an event happened. Readers are asked to weigh each file for themselves.
