ABOUT THE ARCHIVE
Some things are remembered. Others have to be preserved.
ARCHIVE RECORD / 00
WELCOME TO RAVENWOOD
Ravenwood Archive is an independent collection of the strange, unexplained, and forgotten.
Here you’ll find documented folklore, cryptid sightings, paranormal encounters, unexplained phenomena, and accounts that have survived through rumor, testimony, and time.
Some have been told for generations. Others began with a photograph, a witness, or something that simply shouldn’t have happened.
Ravenwood exists to collect them, examine what remains, and keep the files open.
TWO COLLECTIONS
INSIDE THE ARCHIVE
Ravenwood separates documented mysteries from its original fictional case files. You’ll always know which kind of file you’re opening.
ARCHIVE FILES
Legends, sightings, folklore, paranormal reports, cryptids, and unexplained incidents drawn from real-world accounts and historical sources. Each file examines what was reported, what can be explained, and what still remains unanswered.
ORIGINAL FILES
Original horror cases written and presented as documents from within the Ravenwood Archive. New entities, anomalies, witnesses, evidence, and investigations.
PROCEDURE
METHODOLOGY
Every file begins with what can be documented. Reports are compared, ordinary explanations are considered, and uncertainty is preserved where the evidence stops
01 / DOCUMENT
Collect what remains.
Witness accounts, historical records, photographs, reports, and available evidence are gathered into a single case file.
02 / EXAMINE
Consider the ordinary.
Mundane explanations are considered alongside unusual ones. Not every strange light is an unidentified aircraft. Sometimes someone owns a flashlight.
03 / PRESERVE
Leave questions open.
Ravenwood doesn’t exist to declare every mystery solved. Some cases remain contradictory, incomplete, or simply unexplained
ABOUT OUR IMAGES
Ravenwood distinguishes reconstructed imagery, authentic source material, and fictional case imagery so the nature of each image is always clear.
01 / RECONSTRUCTION
Ravenwood Reconstructions
Imagery created as an artistic reconstruction based on reported witness descriptions. These images are clearly identified as Ravenwood Reconstructions and should not be interpreted as photographic evidence.
02 / SOURCE MATERIAL
Historical & Documentary Images
Historical photographs, documents, location images, and other authentic source material are identified separately whenever applicable.
03 / ORIGINAL FILES
Fictional Evidence
Original Files are works of fiction and may contain fictional evidence photographs, documents, surveillance images, and other materials created specifically for the case.
