A selection of pages that I think are inspiring and worth your time. Obviously there's more than this, I'll try to add more over time! It may be reorganized with new categories as I add more pages of a certain type.
My two favourite genres of website are Silent Hill Fansite and Paranormal/Conspiracy site, so I've got a very biased selection for you!

Nirakul Archives
|
|
The beautiful art, comics, and stylings of my dear friends Joe and Anka. If you haven't read SUPERPOSE (or any of their other works), please rectify the situation immediately.... And keep an eye out for the secrets packed into their websites ;)
|
A fascinating and rather abstracted journey through the Nirakul Archives. Exquisite artwork and a spiraling narrative.... Explore, go go go!

MOIRAI

|
I adore the collage style on display here. I wish I could flip through the books she made for her exchanges! Her personal collaged tarot deck is also very impressive, something I'd like to print and use myself!
|
An ongoing webcomic about workplace safety :) Love the embracing of the digital look and the moody visuals, I'm excited to see where it goes.
|
Paranormal / New Age
|
Joan Ocean
|
ET Friends
|
|
If you're not familiar with dolphin-extraterrestrial theory (or just the best new-age decor you can find), this is the destination for you. They don't make 'em like this any more.
|
A companion site to Joan Ocean's main site. The image galleries are a real treat.
|
|
Yowie Hunters
|
Gulf Coast Bigfoot Research Organization
|
|
A very interesting page documenting Yowie (the Australian bigfoot-equivalent) sightings and experiences. Unlike some of the goofier sites I've shared here, this one does an excellent job of presenting its database of testimonies and is a fascinating source.
|
Did you know these guys had a television show? I'm kind of obsessed with their hats but too timid to email to buy one lol.... The personal accounts on their site are incredible, check 'em out.

Robin Wood

Spiral Goddess
|
|
This could actually go under art or divination, but I put it here because I'm particularly fond of Mrs. Wood's 3D altar guide, buried in the Grove section of the site. Her tarot deck has been a real friend to me, too!
|
Abby Willowroot's extremely classic 90's goddess movement site. This quintessential new age vibe has a special place in my heart.

Golden Mean

World UFO Photos
|
|
Sometimes I feel like I write too much on my site. Then I look here and feel better. I've actually read a good chunk of this stuff, but I still couldn't tell you exactly what he's talking about....
|
As the site owner says, these photos are the "cream of the crop...."! It's actually run by a former MUFON State Director and has some awesome photos!

Internet Sacred Texts Archive
|
|
|
I have a silly fascination with reading old neopagan discussion boards and seeing all their drama.... Which brought me here, where I found not only a load of 80s/90s/00s BBS posts, but a massive wealth of texts and discussions on all religious topics. A neverending feast, really.

Corax
|
Hedgewytchery
|
|
A collection of pages by the Big Old Raven. I love the Tarot pages of course, but I think my favourite bit is the slot machine.... Try for the Golden Raven jackpot, extremely worth it.
|
I've been wanting to try out regular cartomancy too, and was oft recommended the Hedgewytch's guide. Sadly the original site disappeared a few years after its creator passed——but thanks to the efforts of a kind soul it's been rebuilt for the modern web!

Silent Hill
|
Alchemilla Hospital
|
SH Paradise
|
|
One of my favourite sites, I really adore the clipboard theme! The menu items were also circled as you hovered over them. Unfortunately the site no longer looks like this, but you can still see it in the "About" section. [current link]
|
Unfortunately closed now, this site is peak 2000's site design to me and fills me with nostalgia.... I always try to screenshot pages I like, because you never know when they'll be gone! [current link]

Letter From Silent Heaven
|
LFSH Legacy
|
|
A classic SH fan site, updated for the modern era! I adore how they balanced the grit and grime with a clean, easy to follow layout, and they made an effort to preserve the cool overlapping style of old.
|
This is the original version of Letter From Silent Heaven, which uses gifs and meticulous layering to create a super unique site! I'm so glad that it's still accessible, every page is unique and special.

|
Visit Silent Hill
|
|
|
Cleverly disguised as a (very lovely) Tourism Board site, this is actually a site for SH cosplayers! Featuring cosplay breakdowns, image galleries, and live-action videos, it's a charming time capsule.

Web Design Museum
|
Winamp Skin Museum
|
|
An incredible archival project sharing the many lost websites, programs, apps, and other things that have been updated into streamlined blandness over time. If you're looking for web inspiration, you'll find it endlessly here.
|
Another museum, this one of Winamp skins. Remove the subdomain to see Winamp fully rebuilt for browser usage. Really cool!

Chao Lab
|
|
|
I was obsessed with the chao garden in SA2B as a kid. As an adult, I wish I could have it on my phone or something.... Here's a serious nostalgia trip back to that time, at least for me.
