The Case Files
Real incidents. Surviving records. Witness testimony. Investigations. Evidence that can be examined — even when the final explanation remains uncertain.
Forbidden Lore documents what happened, what was reported, what investigators found and where the evidence stops.
Case Index
Reported hauntings, apparitions and alleged paranormal disturbances.
Our Standard
A documented case is an event with a traceable historical record — whether that record consists of witness testimony, newspaper reports, photographs, official documents, investigations, court records or other surviving evidence.
Forbidden Lore separates the existence of a report from the truth of the claim. A witness can be documented without their explanation being established as fact.
Some cases eventually receive strong conventional explanations. Others remain disputed or unresolved. The archive preserves that distinction rather than forcing every mystery toward the extraordinary.
The unanswered question is part of the record.
The Investigation Continues
Examine the reports. Follow the evidence. Separate what is known from what is claimed. Decide what the surviving record supports.
