"Every entry in this archive begins the same way: someone saw something, heard something, or felt something they couldn't explain — and wrote it down before they could talk themselves out of it."
Welcome to The Vault, the working archive of The EERIE Files. What you'll find here isn't ghost stories for their own sake — it's the paper trail behind them: witness statements, site histories, investigation notes, and the research that's been done (or hasn't) to explain them.
245 cases are currently filed. Read carefully. Some of them are still open.
Featured Case
Case No. 0001 · Currently Under Investigation
