ParaSight

Discover the Paranormal The world of the paranormal is as expansive as it is interesting. Tales of cryptids, aliens, ghosts, and the unknown can be found at every corner of the internet, and at some point, the sheer amount of information that's available makes coming to reliable conclusions even harder than you'd expect.

ParaSight is an app that attempts to remedy this problem by structuring the available data in a way that makes it easier to digest. Browse our growing database of paranormal, supernatural, and bizarre entities and learn what makes them interesting.

Features • An expanding database of creatures, sightings, and unexplained phenomena • Real-time notifications • Automated reporting of new MUFON and NUFORC sightings • Category, tag, and free-text search capabilities • Built-in feedback mechanisms

Report your Sightings

The primary focus of the ParaSight app is to allow you to share your paranormal encounters with other users. Our reporting screen allows you to add a bunch of information that others might find useful:

• A text description of what happened (use hashtags and URLs to make your reporting more robust) • The date the sighting occurred • Optional start and end times of the encounter • The location where the entity was seen • An adjustable radius for general location sightings • (NEW) Up to 5 images taken during the encounter

All sightings appear on the world map where others can read about your experience.

Coming Soon

We will be adding ways to vote on the credibility of sightings. Concepts like crowd support, media reports, and similar sightings will be used to adjust sighting credibility scores. This will let us highlight especially convincing encounters and generate "hot spots" on the map.
