Interviews & Oral Histories preserves first‑person accounts from individuals who have encountered anomalous events, as well as narratives passed down through families, communities, and cultural traditions. These materials are presented as historical and experiential records rather than evidence, interpretation, or endorsement. Each account is documented with attention to context: the circumstances in which the story was shared, the cultural or symbolic frameworks that shaped its telling, and the ways memory, emotion, and narrative form influence how experiences are conveyed. By maintaining the integrity of these voices while situating them within their broader historical and cultural environments, Interviews & Oral Histories provides visitors with a clearer understanding of how personal testimony contributes to the evolving record of anomalous phenomena. This section highlights the value of lived experience as part of the historical archive while preserving the distinction between narrative and analysis.
