About The Pinned Past
The Pinned Past tells true stories the way an investigator would — pinned to an evidence board, connected with string, stamped with what the record actually supports. Short animated videos, built to be understood even with the sound off.
One channel, several series: documented disappearances, money that vanished, inventions more than one person claims. Every series is its own file drawer on the same board.
Every video is fact-grounded before it renders: claims are checked against original sources, and the written case file on this site goes deeper than the video could — the full chain of evidence, the surprising numbers, and the source passages themselves, cited on every page. When a case is unsolved, we say so — the question is the payoff, never a fake solve.
We keep it calm on purpose. No autoplay with sound, no popups, no infinite feed. The story, the case file, the sources — that's the whole product.
