It is important not to treat the impression of a place as the same as the verifiable conditions under which it can be used.
FAQ
If it's shown on the map, can I enter freely?
No. Inclusion on a map and permission to enter are separate things. It may be private property, a controlled area, a closed section, or off-limits at night.
If there are many rumors, does that constitute evidence of a paranormal phenomenon?
No, that's not acceptable. The amount of information and fact-checking are two different things. Any information that cannot be confirmed through primary sources or administrator information will be treated as unconfirmed.
Are there ways to enjoy it without actually going there?
You can compare publicly available documents and maps to investigate local history and the background of structures. There is no need to travel to dangerous times or locations.
