I also like that they have an "undetermined" category. They document when something has happened, they search for things that have supposedly happened but for which there is no evidence, and they let you make up your own mind about it. They're usually pretty fair about things - they say "this could have happened but since it almost certainly would have been picked up by news sources and nobody has a record of it, we think it's probably bunk." Or they say "there's no way to tell if this is true or not - it could have happened, and though we couldn't find any evidence for it, that doesn't mean it didn't happen." I trust them.
