THE EMPTY PLAYGROUND

RF-001 Depth 2 Active
RF-001 concerns an abandoned playground located several miles outside █████. The site appears normal during daylight hours but has been linked to repeated reports of children playing after dark despite the area having remained vacant for decades. Photographs recovered from the site contain recurring anomalies, including the repeated appearance of an unidentified child whose face cannot be clearly observed. RF-001 is considered the Archive's first confirmed investigation involving a Depth-classified location

THE MAN WHO WAITS

RF-002 Depth 2 Active
RF-002 is a recurring entity observed at abandoned locations, forgotten properties, and Depth-classified sites throughout the United States. Witness descriptions vary significantly. Height, clothing, age, and physical appearance are inconsistent across reports. Despite these differences, one detail remains constant: The entity is always watching. RF-002 has never been observed approaching a witness. It simply waits

THE FORGOTTEN HOUSE

RF-003 Depth 3 Active
RF-003 concerns a farmhouse that appears in county property records despite no structure existing at the listed location. The site manifests intermittently during periods of dense fog and has been observed by multiple witnesses over a span of nearly forty years. The interior of the house does not correspond to its exterior dimensions, and objects recovered from within frequently disappear after removal. The most significant anomaly associated with RF-003 is a family portrait containing an unidentified individual whose face cannot be remembered after viewing

THE HOLLOW CIRCLE

RF-004 Depth 3 Active
RF-004 concerns the recurring appearance of a symbol known by the Archive as the Hollow Circle. The symbol consists of a simple circle with its center removed. While seemingly insignificant, the marking has appeared in connection with nearly every major Archive investigation. The Hollow Circle has been discovered in locations where it should not exist, on objects with no known connection to one another, and within personal journals belonging to individuals who deny ever drawing it. The origin and purpose of the symbol remain unknown

THE QUIET CHILD

RF-005 Depth 3 Active
RF-005 is an entity most commonly observed in abandoned schools, playgrounds, neighborhoods, and other locations associated with childhood memories. Witnesses consistently describe a child between the ages of eight and twelve. The entity has never been observed speaking. Despite numerous encounters spanning decades, no audio recording has ever captured the child's voice. Individuals who encounter RF-005 frequently experience memory loss involving specific people, events, or periods of their childhood. The reason for this effect remains unknown

THE BELLKEEPER

RF-006 Depth 4 Active
RF-006 is a recurring entity associated with unexplained bell sounds, memory disruption, and disappearances near Depth-classified locations. Witnesses describe a tall figure carrying numerous rusted bells suspended from chains, rope, or wire. The bells can often be heard long before the entity is observed. No successful audio recording of the sounds has ever been obtained. Encounters with RF-006 are frequently followed by memory loss, disorientation, or temporary disappearance from normal reality. The Archive considers RF-006 one of the most dangerous entities documented to date

THE SILENT TOWN

RF-007 Depth 4 Active
RF-007 concerns a fully intact town discovered during an Archive investigation into missing roadway markers in a remote region of the United States. The town does not appear on any modern map. No government records acknowledge its existence. Despite this, the site contains homes, businesses, vehicles, personal belongings, and evidence of long-term habitation. No residents have ever been found. The most significant anomaly associated with RF-007 is a memorial plaque located in the town square that appears to alter itself when observed

THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH

RF-008 Depth 4 Active
RF-008 is a damaged photograph recovered from an abandoned storage locker scheduled for auction. The image changes each time it is viewed. Locations vary. Dates vary. Individuals vary. Despite these changes, one unidentified person consistently appears somewhere within the photograph. The discovery of RF-008 marked the first time Archive researchers formally proposed that multiple investigations may be connected to the same forgotten individual

THE FLOODED LIBRARY

RF-009 Depth 4 Active
RF-009 concerns a submerged library discovered beneath a condemned municipal records building scheduled for demolition. The structure does not appear on architectural plans, city records, or historical documentation. The library contains thousands of books that do not contain words. Instead, each volume appears to contain memories. Exposure to these books has resulted in memory contamination, identity confusion, and recurring encounters with an unidentified individual connected to multiple Archive investigations

THE ASH RAILWAY

RF-010 Depth 5 Active
RF-010 concerns a railway system that does not appear on any map, survey record, or transportation database. The railway has been encountered in multiple states and countries despite no physical connection existing between reported locations. Witnesses describe abandoned train platforms, distant whistles, and trains emerging from dense fog or darkness. Evidence suggests RF-010 functions as a transit system connecting forgotten places. Several Archive researchers believe the Ash Railway may be the mechanism through which locations, objects, and memories descend into deeper states of forgetting.

THE COLLECTOR

RF-011 Depth 5 Active
RF-011 is an entity associated with the recovery, possession, and preservation of forgotten objects. The entity has been observed in multiple Depth-classified locations and is believed to maintain collections of items connected to people who have been forgotten. Witnesses consistently describe a tall figure carrying bags, cases, keys, and containers filled with personal belongings. Unlike most documented entities, RF-011 has demonstrated awareness of investigators and has appeared to intentionally communicate on several occasions. The Archive currently believes RF-011 possesses knowledge regarding the unidentified individual referenced throughout Season One investigations

THE FIRST FORGOTTEN

RF-012 Depth 5 Under Investigation
RF-012 is not a location, object, or entity. It is an Archive investigation. The designation was created after researchers concluded that multiple previously unrelated files contain evidence of the same unidentified individual. The subject appears throughout photographs, witness statements, recovered memories, historical records, and Depth-classified locations. Despite the overwhelming volume of evidence, no confirmed identity has been established. The Archive currently believes the subject may represent the first documented case of a person being forgotten completely while continuing to influence reality
