Strangepedia

A reference archive of unexplained phenomena, cryptids, entities, and events. Every entry is drawn from documented reports, declassified government records, and decades of independent research.

🕯️ Paranormal

Events and entities tied to the human experience of the afterlife, spiritual realms, and forces beyond natural explanation. Ghosts, demonic entities, and hauntings have been documented across every culture in recorded history.

👻

Ghosts

The spirits of the deceased

Apparitions of deceased individuals, reported across every culture in human history. Ghosts may appear as full-body visual manifestations, partial figures, or simply a presence. Modern investigators use EMF meters, thermal cameras, and audio recorders to document encounters.

Poltergeists

Noisy spirits of physical disruption

From the German "poltern" (to make noise) and "geist" (spirit). Poltergeists are characterised by physical disturbances — objects thrown, furniture moved, unexplained sounds — rather than visual apparitions. Researchers note they typically centre on a specific living person, often an adolescent.

Shadow People

Dark figures at the edge of perception

Shadowy humanoid figures seen in peripheral vision or upon waking. Reported across cultures for centuries under different names. Distinguished from ghosts by their solid black appearance with no distinguishing features and a strong sense of malevolence.

Demonic Entities

Malevolent non-human intelligences

Malevolent non-human intelligences documented across every major religious and cultural tradition. Distinguished from ghosts by their inhuman nature, their apparent goal of harm, and their resistance to removal. Associated with possession, physical attacks, and progressive psychological deterioration.

Hauntings

Locations bound to residual paranormal energy

Persistent paranormal activity tied to a specific location rather than a person. Unlike poltergeist cases, hauntings remain after all occupants leave. Researchers distinguish intelligent hauntings (where the entity responds to the living) from residual hauntings (where past events replay like a recording).

🔭 Extraterrestrial

Evidence and encounters suggesting contact with non-human intelligences originating beyond Earth — including craft sightings confirmed by government bodies, entity encounters, abduction accounts, and physical trace evidence.

🛸

UFOs & UAPs

Unidentified aerial phenomena

Unidentified aerial objects reported by civilians and military pilots worldwide. In 2020 the US Department of Defense officially released three videos of UAPs. In 2023 a former intelligence officer testified to Congress that the US government possesses non-human craft.

Alien Entities

Non-human intelligences in direct contact

Direct encounters with non-human intelligences — most commonly the "Grey" (short, large-headed, dark-eyed), but also Nordics, Reptilians, Mantids, and others. Reported by thousands of witnesses across all cultures and demographics, often in conjunction with craft sightings.

Alien Abduction

Involuntary transport aboard non-human craft

Reports of involuntary transport aboard craft by non-human beings. Abduction experiences share remarkable consistency across unconnected witnesses worldwide: paralysis, transport through walls, medical examination, sampling of genetic material, and being shown images of future catastrophe.

Crop Circles

Precision geometric formations of unknown origin

Intricate geometric formations found in crop fields, appearing overnight. While many are confirmed human-made, a subset exhibits anomalies — bent (not broken) crop stalks, node elongation, magnetic material in soil, and electromagnetic effects — that remain unexplained by any known human method.

🐾 Cryptid

Undiscovered or disputed animal species for which physical or testimonial evidence exists but which remain unrecognised by mainstream science. Several once-dismissed cryptids — the giant squid, the coelacanth — have since been confirmed.

🦶

Bigfoot / Sasquatch

The great ape of the American wilderness

A large bipedal primate reported throughout North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest. Thousands of sightings documented since the 19th century. Physical evidence includes trackways with dermal ridges, hair samples, audio recordings, and the Patterson-Gimlin film.

The Mothman

Winged harbinger of disaster

A large winged humanoid with glowing red eyes first reported in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in 1966. Associated with the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, which killed 46 people. Since then reported before major disasters worldwide, including in Chicago (2017), Japan (2011), and Chernobyl (1986).

The Dogman

Bipedal canine entity of the American wilderness

A bipedal wolf or dog-headed humanoid reported across North America. Distinct from werewolf folklore — witnesses describe an actual physical creature, not a transformed human. The Michigan Dogman is the most documented regional variation, with sightings concentrated in the state's northwestern Lower Peninsula.

Sea Creatures

Unknown megafauna of the world's oceans

The ocean covers 71% of Earth's surface and remains 95% unexplored. Cryptid sea creatures — from the classic sea serpent to the modern giant squid (confirmed 2004) — represent plausible unknowns in an environment we have barely mapped. New species of deep-sea megafauna are still being discovered.

El Chupacabra

The livestock drainer of the Americas

A creature reported across Latin America and the southern United States, blamed for the deaths of livestock — typically goats, sheep, and cattle — found drained of blood through puncture wounds with little to no external blood and no signs of struggle.

⧗ Phenomenon

Anomalous events that challenge our understanding of reality, consciousness, time, and the nature of the universe. These experiences defy explanation by any current scientific model.

⏳

Missing Time

Unexplained gaps in consciousness and memory

Episodes where individuals experience an inexplicable gap in time — arriving somewhere hours later than expected with no memory of the intervening period. Frequently associated with UFO encounters. Also documented in folklore worldwide as fairy abduction, divine transportation, and shamanic initiation.

Time Slips

Involuntary displacement into another era

Events in which witnesses appear to experience another time period — seeing buildings, people, vehicles, or landscapes from a different era before snapping back to the present. Unlike missing time, witnesses retain full memory of what they saw in the other era.

Simulation Glitches

Anomalies suggesting an artificial reality

Events that suggest the fabric of reality has momentarily malfunctioned — impossible coincidences, objects appearing or disappearing, duplicate people seen simultaneously in different locations, and the Mandela Effect (false shared memories). Popularised by the simulation hypothesis, which is taken seriously by physicists including Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Portals & Vortexes

Gateways between dimensions or locations

Reported openings in space-time allowing passage between locations, dimensions, or time periods. Associated with specific geographic locations exhibiting unusual magnetic properties, high concentrations of paranormal activity, and recurring accounts of objects or beings passing through.
