You can't find it. It's gone. So, you forget about it. And then one day you get lost at sea, you wander too deep into the woods, your starship's hyperspace thingy malfunctions, or you just fall through a metaphorical crack in the sidewalk, and you end up discovering where all those missing socks go. Charles Fort called it the Super-Sargasso Sea, named after the mysterious Sargasso Sea; the dimension into which lost things go. Amelia Earhart's over at the bar. The Lost Colony of Roanoke is next door. USS Cyclops? In the harbor. Elvis Presley? Who do you think is on stage? The Dead Sea Scrolls? Have a pamphlet. And everybody has all the socks they could possibly need. Just not matched ones. Sometimes, even abstract concepts can wind up here- someone's temper or their wits, or even hope. This is a place everyone who's ever lost anything wished they could visit and that all treasure-hunters dream about; the multiverse's biggest attic/basement/toolshed. Everything is here. Starships, Ancient Artifacts, misfit toys. It's a Portal Crossroad World where it's easy to enter but significantly harder to leave. It's a Derelict Graveyard that people actually live in. It's a Landfill Beyond the Stars where the crap never stops gathering. It's everything you could possibly want mixed with all the stuff you hoped you'd never see again. Appearance-wise, the places usually take the form of great spaces filled with endless mountains of haphazardly piled junk. More specialized examples may take more specific forms — a relatively common variant focuses on drawing in everything lost at sea, and typically resembles a stretch of the ocean filled with shipwrecks, flotsam, seaweed, and assorted nautical garbage. Characters who come to these places often do so in the hope of tracking down something specific or scavenging for useful, precious or interesting things; doing so, however, will typically require sorting and often digging through a much vaster quantity of worthless dross. It tends to be fairly easy to end up here — although it may not always be easy to get here on purpose. There are generally any number of connections between the Super-Sargasso Sea and regular reality — you may get here through a portal, by being shipwrecked and cast adrift in an unusual patch of sea, by a malfunction in faster-than-light travel, teleportation or other method of transdimensional travel, or just by getting very, very lost yourself. Getting out, however, is usually a lot more difficult. Often accessible via The Bermuda Triangle. Not to be confused with Wide Sargasso Sea, a 1966 pastiche (but a classic nonetheless) of Jane Eyre following the life of the latter's resident Madwoman in the Attic. |

Pact: The many manifestations of the Abyss are places where forgotten things go, even gods forgotten by their former worshipers, and where Others such as bogeyman are formed. Pale, set in the same universe as Pact, introduces the Paths, which are home to things that have even been forgotten by the Abyss, including Others that predate the Seal of Solomon. Paths are accessed by practitioners known as Finders on an individual basis using nonsensical rituals like stuffing a doorframe full of red tickets and kicking it in, or surrounding yourself with a toy train set while repeating "hustle and bustle and hustle..." |

This comes up early on in Real Life Comics when Mae tries to find her tape deck converter in the back of her Volvo. The resultant lost space includes Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Hoffa, and Tupac, as well as quite a selection of lost socks. (And all the t-shirts, blue vests and shorts you could want.) | |

Harry Potter has a variant in the form of the Room of Requirement. The room is enchanted to always appear in the form that someone walking past its hidden entrance needs it to have. Generations of Hogwarts students and staff needing somewhere to hide random crap has caused one of its many forms to be "a room the size of a large cathedral" filled with everything that's been hidden and forgotten over the centuries—though in the final book, it all gets destroyed with a good dose of wizard napalm. | |

Dreadfleet: The game is set in the Galleon's Graveyard, a realm to which all shipwrecks and the bodies of those who die in the sea are magically drawn to. The Graveyard itself is a great maelstrom choked with millennia's worth of wrecked ships of every kind and the bodies of countless sea monsters, and is ruled over by a vampire and by the undead legions he has raised from the countless corpses drawn into his realm. | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Wong's Lost and Found Emporium", The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday contains lost hopes, dreams, chances and attributes that people seek to regain. David Wong is searching for his compassion, Melinda for her sense of humor, Mrs. Whitford for lost time and the elderly man for the respect of his children. Each lost attribute appears in a glowing ball, which everyone except the intended recipient can see, and takes the form of a physical object or animal. The recipients must follow the instructions on the label to benefit from it. | |

In the final episode of Creep School, a sub-plot has Victoria and a few of the other students go into a dimension where lost things end up to look for Victoria's missing necklace. Eventually, the guardian of the realm explains that they won't find it there because someone over in their world (Janice) has already found it, so it's not lost anymore. | |

Pathfinder: Stormholt is a demiplane composed of an endlessly storm-tossed stretch of ocean filled with floating shipwrecks. It's closely connected to the treacherous harbor around the city of Absalom, and every vessel that sinks there has a chance to be pulled into the hungry demiplane. This is generally the only way to enter it — and leaving is a lot harder. | |

The center of the plane is a rotating disk of debris that comes out of a singularity in the middle. Items lost on other planes of the universe end up here. The Immortal who controls the plane always looks here first when he loses a pair of socks in his washing machine. | |

The Wacky Musical Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Intergalactical Magical Radio has Ronald and friends come across a planet full of lost objects (some of the items they find being ones they've misplaced themselves) during the track "The Land of Lost and Found". Humorously, the song ends with Ronald declaring that he spots Mayor McCheese (a McDonaldland mascot from the franchise's earlier years who had to be phased out as a result of Sid and Marty Krofft suing McDonald's for the character's similarity to the titular character of H.R. Pufnstuf). | |

In Cassette Beasts, this is essentially what New Wirral is: an island where things that "slip through the cracks" end up washing up. Things that have inexplicably appeared there include an entire shopping mall, two parallel versions of the same person, and multiple Ancient Greek philosophers. It's also populated by monsters, at least some of which also got there after "falling through the cracks". | |

Wonder Woman: Several iterations of Paradise Island/Themyscira treat it as a place full of lost knowledge, magic and art where lost women fleeing violence end up. The original Vol 1 Paradise Island had some elements of this with the population being made up of refugees from across time and later writers ran with the idea in Vol 2, with even lost extraterrestrials ending up Amazons for a time. | |

A Place Called Here: "Here" is the prosaic name for the place where lost things go, including a community formed by missing and disappeared people who have become stranded Here. The main character winds up in Here herself while working on a missing person report, and as the story progresses things begin to disappear from Here as well — a process that the locals find extremely unsettling, as by definition nothing ever goes missing from Here. | |

In Touhou Project, the barrier surrounding Gensokyo works such that it attracts things or concepts which have "become fantasy" in the outside world. While it's mainly a justification for the existence of youkai, it also attracts other things like extinct or endangered species, and yes, a bunch of lost items from the outside. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle", the titular location contains many items taken by the mermaids via singing to activate a giant vacuum, which opens a rift in the sky while doing so. When they sing their song backwards, the items are returned to their owner. | |

Midnight Nation is a place of the lost and abandoned — not just objects but people. A particularly interesting element of that is a shack containing the lost work of every artist who died before creating it, kept safe until such time that another artist can create it. | |

Charmed (1998): "Wrestling with Demons" has the Halliwell sisters using a spell to find lost things backfiring to the point that everything they ever lost came back, thus turning their house into this trope. It starts off fairly normal, returning lost jewelry and countless missing socks, but quickly runs to the ridiculous when their grandmother's dog who went missing years before turns up out of nowhere and Phoebe's blonde hair, dyed in the kitchen sink, suddenly reverts back to brunette. | |
