Independent investigations · Katy, Texas

Some mysteries
refuse to stay
buried.

We follow strange stories into the field, separate the evidence from the folklore, and ask questions worth asking. I'm Dave Sloan, the Bureau's founder and investigator. My co-host is Bob, an AI skeleton with a sharp tongue and a remarkably casual attitude toward the unexplained. Management is reviewing the arrangement.

Our guiding principle

Wonder is welcome.
Evidence matters.

A noise in the woods is a noise in the woods until we have reason to call it something else. We can love a fantastic story without inventing a fantastic explanation.

The Bureau's Field Protocol

1. Record it. Preserve the original account and context.

2. Check it. Look for ordinary explanations before reaching for extraordinary ones.

3. Tell it well. Keep witnesses and their experiences at the center, without promising certainty where there is none.

Dispatch from behind the desk

Bob has
concerns.

“Why does every application have a section labeled ‘previously deceased’? That feels targeted.”

The Bureau's comedic staff are fictional characters. The reports, when published, will distinguish documented observations from entertainment.

Transmission incoming

Something peculiar is coming.

BB&I is assembling its first season, fieldwork, and editorial features. We're building carefully, not posting imaginary episodes to make the shelves look full.
