About our content

NazoMap (“the Site”) organizes and introduces legends, eyewitness accounts and theories about cryptids (UMA), urban legends, ancient civilizations, UFOs, strange phenomena and yokai, based on literature and news reports. The content does not guarantee or claim that any creature or event described actually exists or happened.

The stats such as “Rarity,” “Danger,” “Reality” and “Fame” are our own rough guide based on literature and popularity; they are not scientific assessments.

Although we take care to keep information accurate, it may contain errors or outdated information. The Site accepts no responsibility for any damage arising from the use of its information.

The English pages are translations of Japanese originals. If there is any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails.
