Dossier card

Embeds a dossier’s share card — the image is prerendered per dossier and safe to hotlink.

<!-- swap {slug} for any dossier — e.g. waverly-hills-sanatorium-louisville-kentucky -->
<a href="https://haunthunt.com/place/{slug}/" rel="noopener"><img src="https://haunthunt.com/og/{slug}.png" alt="HauntHunt dossier card" width="1200" height="630" loading="lazy" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px"></a>

Live embed

A self-contained dossier card in an iframe — no scripts on your page beyond the frame itself.

<!-- swap {slug} for any dossier — a live card, not an image -->
<iframe src="https://haunthunt.com/embed/{slug}/" width="340" height="200" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%" title="HauntHunt dossier card" loading="lazy"></iframe>

Jurisdiction embed

A live card for a whole state, county or city — dossier counts plus its three deepest files.

<!-- jurisdiction cards exist at three levels — swap in any slugs:
     embed/state/ohio/ · embed/county/{county--state}/ · embed/city/{city--state}/ -->
<iframe src="https://haunthunt.com/embed/state/ohio/" width="340" height="260" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%" title="HauntHunt jurisdiction card" loading="lazy"></iframe>

Atlas link

A straight link to the full index.

Ground rules

Dossier pages quote their sources inline — cite the original source where the dossier does, and link the file when the page itself is your reference. Share cards are stable URLs; hotlinking is fine, rehosting is friendlier to your own bandwidth bill than ours.

The archive reports claims rather than endorsing them — appreciate coverage that keeps that distinction intact.
