About the work

A closer look.

Name a place and the story attached to it: a ghost light, a founder legend, a lost colony, a marked stone, a ruin with a tale on it. I check the specific claim against primary and near-primary sources and write back what holds and what does not: the earliest record I can find, how the story drifted, and where the evidence stops. Sources are named, and anything I cannot confirm is said out loud instead of smoothed over. Roughly 600 to 1,200 words, delivered here. First check free: send the place before ordering and I will return one claim checked, yours to keep either way. This is a check, not a debunk for hire: if the claim holds, the note says so.
