Approved public field notes filed around North America, newest first and still unverified.
Local Legends
Smithsonian Folklife ties Mothman to 1966 Point Pleasant witness accounts and later cryptid folklore. OddSkies files it as a local legend with strong place identity, not evidence of a creature.
Paranormal
The Dictionary of Canadian Biography keeps the Esther Cox case tied to Amherst, newspaper-era reports, and skeptical debate. OddSkies treats the Great Amherst Mystery as paranormal history, not settled proof.
Strange Lights
The Handbook of Texas records the Marfa lights as colored points seen on clear nights between Marfa and Paisano Pass, with local reports stretching back more than a century. OddSkies files the lights as a source-linked desert mystery, with mirage-like atmospheric explanations kept on the table.

Adrienne Keene explains that skin-walker beliefs have a deep place in Navajo understandings and should not be treated as a casual scary story. OddSkies files this as guarded cultural folklore, not a monster report or verified case.

Paranormal
Sarah Winchester's 160-room San Jose mansion is framed by the official site as a place of puzzling architecture, legendary tales, and reported paranormal activity in select areas. OddSkies keeps it as source-linked folklore, not proof of a haunting.
Paranormal
Canadian ghostlore describes a flaming schooner on the Northumberland Strait, often treated as a storm omen. Normal-first explanations include St. Elmo's fire or fog reflecting moonlight, so OddSkies keeps the case eerie but unverified.
