What happened? Describe the event(s)

Who was involved? List of participants. Include Name, Age, Description, and Contact Info (if relevant)

When did it happen? If a recurring event, list date range(s).

Notes Regarding Recording References

For all written references please note the Author’s Name and Title(s), i.e., Dr, PhD, MSS, etc. Include Title of Document if there is one. Note the relevant page numbers, the year of publication and list the details of the Publisher or Author. Please make a note of the language used in the source material(s) if it is anything other than English.

Always list your primary, secondary and intuitive sources, even if your source was only a “hunch”, a flash of insight, a medicinally induced hallucination or spiritual vision, whatever, simply say that. Regardless of whether your investigation is spiritual or material in nature, It’s your responsibility as a Historical Investigator to document the origins of your info, so that, if possible, a future investigator can check it for themselves and follow your case to the desired conclusion(s).

Anything short of full disclosure may cause your allegations, arguments, hypothesis, and theories to loose credibility and affect your entire case negatively.
