Down the rabbit hole

Dogman · 2023

3 documents · 1 independent account

3 documents tell this story. They trace back to 1 independent account.

The route

  1. One encounter the reported sighting this case is about
  2. 3 documents that tell it, as we collected them
  3. 1 independent account behind those documents
  4. 2 copies reprints or cross-posts of the same text: not extra witnesses

Copies are not confirmations: thirty papers printing one story is still one account.

Rabbit hole: Dogman · 20233 documents tell this story. They trace back to 1 independent account. Each independent account is one row; time runs left to right. The earliest document we hold in each account is ringed.

Each shape is one document; open it to go to where we found it. The same graph as a list is below.

Why these records are connected

  • 2 copies: the copy detector found the same words in a later document, so it sits in the same row as the account it copies.
  • Why these documents are one case. The case matcher joined them because:
    • Still debating if I saw dogman or a skinwalker & #DOGMAN: the copy detector found the same text in both; their quoted passages are nearly identical; they describe the same details; same place

Every document, as a list

How to read this

  • Time runs left to right by publication date. Very long empty stretches are cut short (the axis shows how many years were skipped); undated documents sit in their own column.
  • One row per independent account. A reprint, re-upload or cross-post carries the same text, so it stays in its account's row and never counts as a second witness.
  • Earliest found (ringed) is the earliest document we hold for that account. It is not proof of the first telling: an earlier one may exist that we haven't collected.
  • Arrows run from a document to a source it names. A dashed shape is a source a document cites that we haven't found yet; its link searches a public archive for it, and a hit there is a lead, not a confirmation.

About the numbers

  • Only documents we've collected are counted; retellings elsewhere on the web aren't counted yet.
  • Documents are matched by shared text and by the sources they name, by plain rules with no model in the loop. A match can be wrong; tell us.
