Case site directory

Every kind of case on unexplained.im will get its own site. Here’s the plan for the first ten. None is open yet; UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle come first.

Open now

This hub, unexplained.im. The case sites below will be listed as open, with a link, on the day each one goes live.

Coming soon

• UFOs and UAPFirst waveufos.unexplained.im

  Planned: sightings from the official files, what UFO and UAP actually mean, and how investigators sort the explained from the not-yet-explained.

  Coming soon
• The Bermuda TriangleFirst wavebermuda-triangle.unexplained.im

  Planned: the ships and planes said to have vanished, the map nobody can draw, and what ocean scientists say about the area.

  Coming soon
• Hauntingshauntings.unexplained.im

  Planned: reported hauntings in palaces, castles and vaults, and what researchers found when they took volunteers for a walk round them.

  Coming soon
• Cryptidscryptids.unexplained.im

  Planned: reported sightings of Nessie, Bigfoot and other mystery animals, with the searches, the sonar and the hoaxes laid out fairly.

  Coming soon

  Planned: how the patterns appeared, the two men with the planks, and a printable to design your own (on paper, not in a farmer’s field).

  Coming soon
• Ball lightningball-lightning.unexplained.im

  Planned: eyewitness accounts of glowing balls of light, and what weather scientists think might be going on.

  Coming soon
• Ghost shipsghost-ships.unexplained.im

  Planned: ships found with nobody aboard, starting with the Mary Celeste, and how investigators pieced the clues together.

  Coming soon
• Earthquake lightsearthquake-lights.unexplained.im

  Planned: strange glows reported around earthquakes, the scientific argument about them, and lights once blamed on ghosts.

  Coming soon
• Disappearancesdisappearances.unexplained.im

  Planned: famous vanishings at sea and in the air, and what searchers and the records can and can’t tell us.

  Coming soon
• Strange rainstrange-rain.unexplained.im

  Planned: reports of fish and frogs falling from the sky, checked against what weather scientists say.

How we chose the ten

We picked kinds of strange sightings and events that people often ask about, where there are good official or scientific sources to check them against. UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle come first.

Reported, then checked

Every case on every site follows the same rule: first what was reported and who reported it, then what the evidence says, with a link to each source. We don’t claim more than the evidence does, in either direction.

Sightings, not legends

Myths, legends and old stories belong to our sister hub folklore.im. unexplained.im covers reported sightings and events.

Our own drawings

We draw our own pictures and don’t use other people’s photographs. Our drawings are labelled as impressions, never as evidence.

Independent, not official

unexplained.im is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of the organisations whose reports we quote.

How the network works

The list of sites lives in network.json. This page and sitemap-index.xml are built from it, and only open sites go into the sitemap index. Each case site will have a link back here at the top of every page.
