Repository Pathways

Guided routes through the five core repository references. Use these pathways to choose the right reference for field terms, investigation process, evidence review, terminology, or deeper study.

Five Core References

Official Field Encyclopedia

Start here for broad field knowledge, haunting classification, equipment science, entity theory, and investigation standards.

Complete Paranormal Terminology

Use this when a term, concept, category, or investigation phrase needs grounding before deeper reading.

Investigation Compendium

Use this for end-to-end case process: intake, research, walkthrough, baselines, evidence analysis, reporting, and archival.

Forensic Analysis Compendium

Use this for disciplined review of photo, video, audio, EVP, blind review, and final classification practices.

Evidence Compendium

Use this for claim-versus-cause thinking across photographic, video, audio, environmental, and experiential material.

Future AI Source Material

These references can help shape future AI-supported search, summaries, or guided reading tools if those features are developed later.

Guided Reading Routes

01

New Investigator Route

Start with Ghostology 101, then the Terminology Reference, then the Investigation Compendium for field process.

02

Field Case Route

Use the Investigation Compendium for intake and workflow, the Evidence Compendium for claim-versus-cause thinking, and Reporting for final language.

03

EVP / ITC Route

Use EVP / ITC Experimentation, then the Forensic Analysis Compendium for audio review, then the EVP / ITC Research page for ACS philosophy.

04

Equipment Route

Use Equipment & Technology, Ghostology Lesson 13, and the Field Encyclopedia to understand what tools measure and what they cannot prove.

05

Haunted Location Route

Use Haunted Locations for place research, Ghostology history lessons for records and folklore, and the Repository for terminology and evidence handling.

Fast Links by Question

What does this term mean?

Is this evidence?

Open the Evidence Compendium to separate claims, causes, candidates, contamination, and unresolved material.

How do we review media?

Open the Forensic Analysis Compendium for audio, EVP, photo, video, blind review, and classification discipline.

Where is the broader field context?

Open the Field Encyclopedia for classification, equipment context, entity theory, and broader research areas.

Where will Mystic fit?

Mystic will eventually use these references as the source base for careful educational answers.
