I tell the stories that don’t add up. Unsolved disappearances. Cold cases nobody’s cracked. The paranormal reports that have too many credible witnesses to just wave off. Some of it’s true crime, some of it’s genuinely unexplained — I don’t pretend to know which is which going in. I just follow where the evidence actually leads. If you like Missing 411-type disappearances, cases with a twist you don’t see coming, or the kind of paranormal story that has actual documentation behind it — you’re in the right place.
