What This Is
Reportedly True files reports on phenomena that resist easy explanation — cryptid sightings, paranormal encounters, conspiracy, weird history, the occasional thing that falls from a clear sky. Each video is a case file. Each post here is the same case, written down: the full account, the sources, and the parts nobody can account for.
We are not believers. We are not skeptics. We are correspondents. We review what's documented, note what isn't, and file it. What you do with the information is entirely your affair.
We report. You decide how scared to be.
A Note on Methodology
This bureau operates at the intersection of journalism and folklore. Primary sources are preferred. Eyewitness testimony is recorded but not treated as conclusion. Where the official record is silent, the silence goes in the file too. We distinguish, carefully, between what happened and what was reported to have happened. The name says it all.
We do not traffic in fabrication, and we do not pass off invention as evidence — if something is a re-creation, it is labelled one. If something reportedly happened, we report that it was reported.
