Zombie Facts

Report a zombie

Seen a fact that was retracted, debunked or overtaken and is still being repeated? A Wikipedia article, a news story, a textbook, a viral post. Send it in. A person reads every tip, and good ones become cases with their own page.

Your tip

How tips work

  1. Sent by email. The button opens your tip as a pre-filled email to tips@zombiefacts.org. Press send and it reaches a person.
  2. Read. We check the source ourselves: is it really retracted or debunked, and does the page use it without saying so?
  3. Opened. If it holds up, it becomes a case with its own page, and we tell the people who can fix it.
  4. Credited. The case page says it came from a reader tip. We never publish your name or email unless you ask.
