Some mysteries can sustain a full investigation. Others survive as a single account, a local story or a few lines in a newspaper. This index holds both—without asking a small case to carry more evidence than it has.
Full Investigations begin with a free opening: the essential facts, the first account and the question at the heart of the case. Archive Membership opens the complete report, including the evidence trail, competing explanations and an Archive Vault where useful material can be included responsibly.
Short Reports are complete, free-to-read accounts of smaller incidents and traditions that do not warrant a long dossier. New reports appear automatically beneath their relevant category.
