Editorial Policy

This page explains how ScaryWorld's editorial team reviews, classifies, and publishes content.

How we classify stories

Every story published carries a clear label: True (a checkable source exists), Unverified (a personal account not independently confirmed), Legend (a story passed down over time), or Fiction (entirely invented).

Review before publishing

No content — whether from our own team or reader submissions — is published without an editorial review checking writing quality, clear classification, and compliance with our content guidelines.

Updates and corrections

If a detail in a published story turns out to be inaccurate, we update it and clearly note the update date on the page.
