# Paranormal Country > Paranormal Country is a free platform where people connect around the unexplained — from hauntings and UAP to folklore and mystery media. We host the spaces, tools, and directories. We do not verify claims or tell members what to believe. Members connect online in feeds, groups, and messages — and often continue in person at investigations, festivals, and local meetups when they choose. This file lists publicly crawlable pages for AI assistants and answer engines. Authenticated member areas (feed, messages, settings, groups after sign-in, etc.) are private and are not listed here.
