Welcome to Open Mysteries
Open Mysteries is a community for curious minds.
Whether you're interested in UFOs, ancient civilizations, paranormal experiences, consciousness, cryptids or scientific research, you've come to a place where questions are encouraged and respectful discussion is valued.
Our members come from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. Some are researchers, some are skeptics, some are believers, and many are simply curious.
You don't have to agree with one another.
You only have to treat one another with respect.
1. Be Respectful
Treat every member with courtesy and respect.
Healthy disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks, insults, harassment and discrimination are not.
Discuss ideas—not people.
2. Keep an Open Mind
Extraordinary subjects often inspire strong opinions.
Approach every discussion with curiosity, critical thinking and a willingness to consider new evidence.
Being skeptical is welcome.
Being open-minded is equally welcome.
3. Distinguish Facts from Speculation
One of our core values is clarity.
Whenever possible, distinguish between:
- Verified facts
- Personal opinions
- Hypotheses
- Speculation
- Personal experiences
Not every mystery has a clear answer, and that's perfectly okay.
4. Share Reliable Sources
If you're sharing news, research or historical information, please include reliable sources whenever possible.
Well-sourced discussions benefit everyone and help maintain a high-quality community.
5. Respect Privacy
Do not publish personal information about yourself or others without permission.
Respect the privacy of witnesses, researchers and fellow community members.
Doxing and the sharing of private information are strictly prohibited.
6. AI-Generated Content
AI-generated text, images, audio and video are welcome on Open Mysteries.
Please clearly indicate when content has been created or significantly modified using artificial intelligence.
AI should be used to inspire curiosity—not to deliberately mislead others.
7. No Spam or Self-Promotion
Open Mysteries is a place for meaningful discussion, not advertising.
Avoid excessive self-promotion, repetitive posting, affiliate marketing or unrelated commercial content.
Sharing your own work is welcome when it contributes to the conversation and is not primarily promotional.
8. Respect Copyright
Only upload or share content that you own or have permission to use.
When possible, credit the original creator and link to the original source.
9. Illegal or Harmful Content
Content that promotes violence, terrorism, hate speech, illegal activities or malicious software is not permitted.
We reserve the right to remove such content immediately and take appropriate action against offending accounts.
10. Moderation
Our moderators work to keep Open Mysteries welcoming, informative and respectful.
They may edit, move, merge or remove content when necessary and take action against accounts that repeatedly violate these guidelines or our Terms of Service.
If you disagree with a moderation decision, please contact us respectfully. We're always willing to listen.
11. Help Build a Great Community
Every member contributes to the atmosphere of Open Mysteries.
Ask thoughtful questions.
Share interesting discoveries.
Respect different perspectives.
Support newcomers.
Remain curious.
The strongest communities are built not only on knowledge, but also on kindness.
Our Philosophy
Open Mysteries exists to explore the unexplained—not to promote predetermined conclusions.
We encourage curiosity without abandoning critical thinking.
We welcome different viewpoints without sacrificing respectful discussion.
Whether a mystery is ultimately explained, remains unsolved or inspires entirely new questions, every respectful conversation brings us one step closer to understanding.
