Editorial & Sources Policy

Every article cites its sources

Every article links each outside source inline where it's used and lists all of them in a Sources section at the end. Our publishing system won't publish an article that has no sources, or that links a source it doesn't list.

Which sources we use

We prefer primary records (official reports, hearing transcripts, court and government documents, peer-reviewed research), then established news outlets and reference works. First-person accounts are attributed and linked, and we avoid identifying private people.

Summaries, not copies

We write original summaries in our own words. We quote only short passages, always in quotation marks and attributed. We never republish full articles. To read the full story, follow the source links.

Claims are reported as claims

Paranormal and UFO reports are generally unverified. We use phrases like "witnesses reported" and "according to," note natural explanations where researchers have proposed them, and don't make claims about real people that our sources don't support.

Labels

Each article is labeled as a News report, Explainer, History & folklore or Science piece. History & folklore pieces say up front that they describe legends.

Images

We use licensed stock photos and public-domain or openly licensed images, credited under each photo. Photos are illustrative unless the caption says otherwise. We don't publish manipulated or generated images as evidence.

AI assistance and human review

We use AI tools to help research and draft. Before publishing, each article is checked against its sources, and a person reviews and approves it.

Corrections and takedowns

Email hello@paranormalnews.media with the article link and the problem. When we fix a factual error, we update the article and its "Updated" date.
