CASE FILES Vol. 1 — Unexplained Asia | Illustrated Digital Book

16 strange cases. One evidence-first rule: wonder second.

CASE FILES Vol. 1 — Unexplained Asia is a 399-page illustrated dossier investigating sixteen of Asia's most enduring strange cases — from the Joseon Sky Record of 1609 and the Utsuro-bune "hollow ship," to the Naga fireballs of the Mekong, the Yonaguni Monument, and Mae Nak of Phra Khanong.

Every dossier follows the same rigorous 15-section format: the claim, the history, the evidence — each graded CORROBORATED / PLAUSIBLE / UNVERIFIED in a credibility table, so you always know exactly what is known and what is not. No filler, no tabloid speculation.
