Field notes
The project organizes its material as story-specific source investigations, connecting short Creepy Tales videos to longer historical texts. Its examples range from the 1812 Grimm edition and a 1636 Neapolitan version to Korean and Chinese tales, and the homepage says readers can compare original-language quotations with English translations. A Method page is available, while the extract does not show the full text of every linked entry.
