About Chill Crew
Chill Crew is an independent digital publication and community focused on mysteries, true crime, missing-person cases, unexplained events, strange encounters and related subjects.
The website may contain editorial content, Case Files, community submissions, historical material, publicly available information and discussion of unresolved events.
Informational & Editorial Content
Content published by Chill Crew is provided for informational, documentary, educational and editorial purposes.
True-crime and mystery cases can involve incomplete, disputed or evolving information. Chill Crew attempts to distinguish established facts from allegations, theories and unresolved questions where reasonably possible.
Unless clearly stated otherwise, allegations, suspicions or theories discussed on Chill Crew should not be interpreted as findings of guilt or established fact.
A person accused, investigated or discussed in connection with a criminal matter should not be considered guilty unless guilt has been established through the applicable legal process.
Accuracy, Updates & Corrections
We aim to provide useful and reasonably accurate information, but we cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or error-free.
Cases may change as investigators, courts, families, public agencies or other sources release new information.
If you believe a Chill Crew page contains a significant factual error or outdated information, you may contact us through our Contact page.
Where possible, please provide the relevant page URL, the information you believe is incorrect and a reliable source supporting the requested correction.
User Accounts
Certain Chill Crew features may require you to create an account.
You agree to provide reasonably accurate information when creating an account and to keep your login credentials secure.
You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.
You must not attempt to access another person's account without authorization.
Fan Stories & User Submissions
Chill Crew may allow users to submit stories, experiences, text, images or other material for review and possible publication.
Submission does not guarantee publication. Chill Crew may review, decline, edit, categorize, moderate, unpublish or remove submissions where reasonably necessary.
Community submissions represent the experiences, claims or views of their respective contributors and should not automatically be interpreted as verified reporting by Chill Crew.
Your responsibility
By submitting content, you represent that you have the right to submit that material and that doing so does not knowingly violate another person's rights.
You remain responsible for the content you submit.
License for Submitted Content
You retain ownership of original content that you submit to Chill Crew to the extent that you own rights in that content.
By submitting material for publication, you grant Chill Crew a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, edit for presentation or clarity, display, publish and distribute that material in connection with operating and promoting Chill Crew.
This permission allows us to display your submitted story on the website and, where appropriate, promote the published story through Chill Crew channels.
This license does not transfer ownership of your original work to Chill Crew.
Anonymous Submissions
Where an anonymous-publication option is available, Chill Crew may publish a story without publicly displaying the contributor's identity.
Choosing anonymous publication does not necessarily mean that no account, technical or administrative information exists internally in connection with the submission.
Additional information about how data is handled is available in our Privacy Policy.

- is unlawful or promotes unlawful activity;
