Free Case — Vol. I

Read Before You Buy

This is Case #015 from Volume I. No registration required. Just read.

Case #015 — Scotland — December 1900
The Three Keepers of Flannan Isle
Source: Northern Lighthouse Board Records · Lloyds of London Shipping Register · Board of Trade Inquiry, 1901
In December 1900, the lighthouse on Flannan Isle — a remote island in the Outer Hebrides — went dark. Ships reported the light was not rotating. A relief boat was dispatched and arrived on December 26th to find the lighthouse abandoned.

Three experienced keepers had vanished. James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald MacArthur were not men who made mistakes. Combined, they had over 40 years of lighthouse service. The Board of Trade would later describe Ducat as one of the most reliable men in the service.

What the relief crew found defied explanation. The last log entry, dated December 15th, described the weather as calm and the sea as smooth. Two oilskin coats were missing from the hooks — suggesting two of the men had gone outside. The third coat, belonging to MacArthur, remained. He had left without it, which was unusual in any weather...

Three volumes. Each one a different category of documented incident that authorities investigated and could not explain. Each book ends without answers — because the real cases never provided any.

The Last Transmission
38 Documented Cases · PDF · Instant Download
Right now, a radio station has been broadcasting a monotonous buzzing tone for over 50 years. No government has officially explained it. Occasionally, a voice reads out names and numbers. Nobody has decoded it publicly. This is logged in international frequency records. This is real. It is one of 38 cases in this volume where a signal was received, documented, investigated — and never explained.
38 cases of transmissions, broadcasts, distress calls, and signals that were officially received and logged — but whose origin was never identified. Sourced from FCC archives, maritime radio logs, military records, and broadcast authority documents. Each case has a paper trail. None has a resolution.
Includes cases logged by coast guards, militaries, and government agencies
UVB-76 has been broadcasting since 1973 — you can tune in right now
The Vrillon broadcast interruption was confirmed by Southern Television
Every transmission is cited from its official receiving authority
I'm a radio engineer. I know exactly how difficult it is to override a broadcast signal. The Vrillon case is impossible by the standards of 1977 technology. Southern Television confirmed it happened. I've been trying to explain it for two years and I can't. — David K., Bristol UK · Verified Buyer ★★★★★

What Lived in the House
52 Documented Cases · PDF · Instant Download
In 1991, a New York court legally declared a house haunted. The ruling is in the public record. It has been cited in legal textbooks. A police sergeant filed a report describing a wardrobe moving four feet across a room while he watched it. That report is in the West Yorkshire Police archive. This volume is not about ghost stories. It is about what happens when the official record — the document signed by officers, judges, and scientists — contains something that cannot be explained.
52 properties with official paper trails: police incident reports, court rulings, academic parapsychology study files, education authority records, and government documents. These cases were investigated by people whose professional credibility depended on accuracy. Every one of them found something they couldn't account for.
Includes a court ruling that legally declared a house haunted — still valid precedent
The Enfield case involved a police officer as a direct witness — on the record
Cases investigated by scientists, physicians, and law enforcement — not enthusiasts
52 cases across 12 countries spanning over 100 years of documented incidents
I teach history. I'm deeply skeptical of anything paranormal. But this book doesn't ask you to believe in anything — it just shows you what the official record says. A police officer described a wardrobe moving by itself. He signed the report. That's either a lie or it happened. Neither answer is comfortable. — Dr. Rachel F., Edinburgh · Verified Buyer ★★★★★

Vol. III — Hauntings
★★★★★

"I bought this skeptically. I'm a retired detective — I've spent 30 years dealing in evidence. The Enfield case alone changed the way I think about witness testimony. A police constable filed a report describing a chair moving by itself. She signed it. That means she staked her career on it. You don't do that unless you saw what you say you saw."

Vol. II — Signals
★★★★★

"I'm a radio engineer with 20 years in broadcast. The Vrillon interruption should have been technically impossible in 1977. Southern Television confirmed it happened. I've spent two years trying to construct a technical explanation. I can't. Volume II is the most unsettling thing I've ever read and I've been verified by my industry for decades."

"I teach history at university and I'm deeply skeptical of anything paranormal. But these books don't ask you to believe in anything — they just present what the official record says. And the official record is genuinely, profoundly disturbing. I've assigned Volume III as supplementary reading for a module on historical testimony and bias. My students haven't stopped talking about it."

Vol. I — Disappearances
★★★★★

"Read the free sample on a Tuesday night. Bought Volume I before I finished it. Finished the book at 4AM. Bought the complete bundle at 4:07AM. The Flannan Isle case broke me — three experienced lighthouse keepers gone, table still set for dinner, one without his coat. That's in the 1901 Board of Trade inquiry. Not a rumour. Official record. I haven't slept properly since."

Vol. I — Disappearances
★★★★★

"My mother was a missing persons detective in New South Wales for 18 years. I showed her the Beaumont Children case in Volume I. She read it quietly for about ten minutes, then said 'they got it right.' That's the highest possible endorsement from someone who worked those kinds of cases professionally. We both cried."

"I checked the sources. All of them. I went to primary documents for the cases I could access — the Northern Lighthouse Board records, the SPR archive notes on Enfield, the FCC frequency logs. Everything checked out. This is not a publisher making things up. The sources are real. The cases are documented. I've never encountered a horror publication that I could verify independently. This is in a different category entirely."

We Only Publish
What We Can Prove

Anyone can write a horror story. We don't. Every case in every Dark Truth Press volume begins with a public document — a police report, a court filing, a coroner's record, a government archive. If it isn't in the official record, it doesn't make the cut.

This is what separates us from every other horror publication: we can prove it. The cases we cover are not folklore. They are incidents that real institutions — police forces, courts, militaries, government agencies — investigated, documented, and in most cases could not explain.

We believe the truth is scarier than fiction. These books exist to prove it.

📋
Police & Incident ReportsFiled by officers at the scene. Official language, official record. Every case we cite has a report number.
⚖️
Court Documents & RulingsSeveral cases reached the court system. We cite docket numbers and case names. You can verify them yourself.

Government ArchivesMilitary records, maritime board inquiries, broadcast authority logs, and national archive documents.

Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Are these stories actually real? +
Yes. Every case in every volume is sourced from official public documents — police reports, court filings, government archives, maritime board inquiries, military records, or verified contemporary press archives. We cite the source for every case. If it isn't in the official record, it doesn't make the book.
What format is the eBook? What devices can I read it on? +
All books are delivered as PDF files. PDF works on every device — iPhone, Android, iPad, Kindle (via the Kindle app or email-to-Kindle), Mac, Windows PC, or any laptop. No special app required. If your device can open a PDF, you can read Dark Truth Press.
How quickly will I receive my download? +
Instantly. The moment your payment processes, your download link becomes available. You'll receive an email from Gumroad with your download link within seconds. If you don't see it, check your spam folder — it'll be there.
What is your refund policy? +
30 days, no questions asked. If you're not satisfied for any reason within 30 days of purchase, email us at refunds@darktruthpress.com and we will issue a full refund immediately. We don't ask for reasons. We don't ask you to prove anything. You just get your money back.
Is the Complete Collection really better value? +
Yes. Buying all three volumes individually costs $29.97. The Complete Collection is $19.99 — a saving of $10, or 33%. You also get free access to every future edition of all three volumes, and priority access to Volume IV when it drops. Most people who buy a single volume end up buying the rest anyway.
Is my payment information secure? +
Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe — the same payment infrastructure used by Amazon, Google, and Shopify. Your card details are encrypted and never stored by us. We only see that a payment was made, never the details of it.
Can I print the eBooks? +
Yes. You're welcome to print the books for personal use. The dark background design looks striking on paper, but we recommend printing on a light setting to save ink. The text is fully readable either way.
How often are new volumes released? +
We aim to release a new volume every 3–4 months. Volume IV is currently in production. Subscribe to our mailing list to be notified the moment it drops — subscribers also receive 20% off every new release before it goes public.
