#REDIRECT [[John's Journal]]
 
 
[[John]]'s Journal is one of the iconic items of [[:Category:Supernatural|Supernatural]].
 
 
 
First appearing in [[1.01 Pilot]] when John leaves it for [[Dean]] before disappearing, the Journal (which [[Sam]] and Dean most frequently refer to as "Dad's Journal") seems to hold a large body of John's [[Hunting]] knowledge, though not all. Increasingly as [[Season 3]] goes on (and in parts of [[Season 2]]), Sam & Dean comment on the information that John has left out of the Journal.
 
 
 
Nevertheless, Sam and Dean frequently use it as their first point of reference when investigating a job.

===Official Website===
 
The [[Official Website]] is home to an electronic version of John's Journal. The first handful of pages have diary entries written by John immediately following [[Mary]]'s death. You can read a transcription '''[[The Journal (diary entries)|here]]'''.
 
 
 
Following the "diary entry" pages are mocked-up pages of the journal containing notes, newspaper clippings and other scribbles. You can find transcriptions & screencaps '''[[The Journal (decoding)|here]]'''.

===Supernatural: Origins===
 
 
 
The canon of the Supernatural tie-in comic, '''[[Origins]]''', somewhat contradicts the Official Website canon; John is given the blank journal by a character called [[Fletcher Gable]], who he visits after he meets [[Missouri]].
 
 
 
===The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls===
 
 
 
'''[[The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls]]''' is a tie-in "nonfiction" book that, according to author Alex Irvine, takes the form of John's Journal.<sup>[[The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls|source]]</sup> However, it mostly seems to be from the POV of Sam & Dean - the form loosely follows the concept of a hunting journal, rather than John's specifically.
