Each entry is broken down into several parts:

Title: A brief description of the entry.
Location: Details where the event or sighting occurred.
Date / time: When the event was either last witnessed, or when it reoccurs, if known.
Further comments: More detail on the event.
Type: There are several different kinds of listing within this site. These are:

• ABC - An abbreviation of Alien Big Cats, these are typically large creatures that look like lions, panthers and tigers, but not found in their natural environments
• Manifestation of the Living - Ghostly apparitions of people who are not yet dead
• Crisis Manifestation - A spectre that normally only appears or is heard by a select few, during family or national disasters
• Cryptozoology - Sightings of a creature whose existence is not readily accepted by contemporary mainstream science
• Environmental Manifestation - Spectral aural or visual effects that can appear to surround a witness or dominate a landscape
• Experimental Manifestation - Quite rare, these tend to be apparitions deliberately generated by people exploring the psyche
• Fairy - Sightings of fairies, dwarfs, gnomes, goblins, or any of the 'little people'
• Haunting Manifestation - A spectral apparition, smell, or sound that has an established presence in a building or area
• Legend - A mythological story that has existed for many years, normally passed verbally from generation to generation
• Other - Any other data entry that fails to fit alternative categories
• Poltergeist - Invisible energy sources that can create havoc in the vicinity of the person they take a liking to
• Post-Mortem Manifestation - A ghost that appears only briefly after the death of the flesh
• SHC - An abbreviation of Spontaneous Human Combustion. In this site, we list where these events occurred
• Shuck - Also known under a plethora of alternative names (including Trash, Striker, Barguest & Padfoot), the shuck is a large black dog, normally the size of a calf, which can bring ill fortune to those who see it
• UFO - Unidentified Flying Objects, a list of famous and/or unusual sightings, rather than complete details of the thousands that are reported each year
• Unknown Ghost Type - Ghostly phenomena that does not fit any of the previous descriptions

In regard to the ghost types, the model is based loosely on that by Emily Peach in her book 'Things that go Bump in the Night' (1991).
