Welcome To Wayward Things
Welcome to Wayward Things — a place for the strange, the mysterious, the unexplained, and the stories that refuse to be forgotten.
We created Wayward Things for people who have always been fascinated by the questions that don’t have easy answers.
What really happened?
What was that strange light in the sky?
Was that creature actually seen?
Why do some places seem to hold onto their past?
And sometimes, perhaps most intriguingly…
What if the impossible isn’t quite as impossible as we think?
Here, we explore the darker corners of history and the mysteries hiding in plain sight. From haunted places and unexplained phenomena to cryptids, extraterrestrial encounters, strange disappearances, unsolved mysteries, and unusual true-crime cases, Wayward Things is a place to dig a little deeper.
We Go Looking for the Strange
We believe curiosity is a good thing.
We’re interested in the stories that make you stop scrolling, turn on another light, and think about them long after you’ve finished reading.
Some stories may have logical explanations. Some remain unsolved. Some are supported by evidence, while others live somewhere between folklore, eyewitness accounts, history, and legend.
We’ll explore them all — but we’ll also ask questions.
We’ll separate documented facts from speculation, examine different theories, and leave room for the possibility that sometimes we simply don’t know.
Because not every mystery needs to be solved to be fascinating.

Fact, Fiction & Everything In Between
At Wayward Things, we love a good mystery—but we also believe in doing our homework.
Not every ghost story is evidence of a haunting. Not every strange photograph proves the existence of a cryptid. Not every unexplained light is an alien spacecraft.
And that’s okay.
The fun is in the investigation.
We’ll look at available evidence, historical records, eyewitness accounts, competing explanations, and the theories surrounding each story. When something is uncertain, we’ll say so.
Our goal isn’t to tell you what to believe.
It’s to give you something worth thinking about.
Why “Wayward Things”?
Because some things don’t fit neatly into categories.
They’re strange.
They’re unexplained.
They’re forgotten.
They’re misunderstood.
They’re wandering around somewhere between fact and legend.
They’re wayward things.
And we’re fascinated by them.
