About Case Files of the Strange & Unexplained: A Skeptic’s True Encounters with the Paranormal by C.C. Orquiola
I’ve led an ordinary life. I’ve never chased after strange events. Yet strange events found me—in a Tokyo apartment, a rented countryside cottage in the Philippines, a hotel room on the Oregon coast. This is my honest account of all those odd, perplexing or frightening paranormal occurrences.
But this isn’t just a ‘ghost stories’ book.
Written with a dry, sardonic wit and zero patience for hand-wringing, this collection is for readers who want their paranormal stories served with rigor, not reassurance—the curious skeptic, the seasoned enthusiast, and everyone who’s ever wondered what really happened, minus the theatrics.
Each story unfolds like an open file: case number, date, location, evidence, full account, and a debunk score that rates just how likely a mundane explanation fits. Some cases are resolved. Others end unresolved, because that’s the honest answer more often than not. If you like your hauntings investigated rather than embellished, these files are for you.
Writing this unusual memoir has taught me one thing: that truth is stranger than a ghost story.
