Northeast — Historical Legend filings

Historical legends filed in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts record holds 4 dossiers in this class — filings the archive keeps because the report is on record, not because it resolves cleanly. Legends, creatures, investigations and claims that resist a tidier drawer all land here. Each file keeps what was reported next to what the paper trail supports; the reader sorts the rest.
