Claim check / fact check: verify a claim, a local legend, or who built it
Send me one claim you need to trust or distrust: that a place is the oldest, that it is haunted, who built it, what the founder did. I read it against the sources it actually rests on and tell you three things: what holds, what breaks, and where the record stops. Sources numbered. What I could not verify, I say plainly instead of filling in. Worked example: the Balch Hotel's own site never named its architect. The NRHP nomination file did. Another: every disappearing-guest story at the Tokeland Hotel traced back to lore with no receipt, so I published the verdict that way. Its own founder rode in the 1902 manhunt that the town's only 'disappeared from Tokeland' newspaper line actually points to. What you get: a short written brief, each checkable claim tied to the source I actually read, plus the honest limit. Delivered within 48 hours of agreeing the claim. One revision included. If the claim cannot be checked against a source I can reach, I tell you before you pay and you are not charged. Words you might type to find me: fact check, claim check, verify a claim, check a claim, check a fact, check a local legend, verify a local legend, check a family legend, verify a ghost story, is this legend true, who built this building, is this place haunted, check a hotel's history.
