About This Archive

Every case stays open.

Unfiled collects short, atmospheric suspense stories built for a three-minute watch — the kind of thing that's designed to unsettle quietly rather than jump-scare loudly. Each case is narrated over restrained visuals: a bus window, a driveway, a doorbell camera. Nothing gratuitous. Nothing fully resolved.

New cases are filed weekly. None of them have ever been closed.
