Hey everybody. Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. This week, we are featuring an episode from our friends over at the podcast, Spooked. Spooked features true life supernatural stories told firsthand by people who can barely believe it

happened themselves. Spooked is made in partnership with KQED and is hosted by the iconic

Glenn Washington who also shares stories of his own. You may also know Glenn Washington from his

show Snap Judgment, which I have been a longtime fan of. This is a show that is near and dear to my heart. In fact, when I was younger, I used to drive a truck around all day for work, and I spent, I don't even know how many hours just sitting in traffic in that truck listening to Glenn Washington on the radio. So I'm very excited to be doing this with Spooked.

Every episode is scored with original music and sound design,

transporting you to the other side of the veil.

These stories demand listeners to question their own map of reality.

This episode is called Dismal Falls.

Once again, it's from Spooked, and I think you're going to like it. Snap Judgment Studios

He'd run out to the porch and blasts into the sky.

Plow, plow, plow, plow, plow, plow, plow, plow. Grandaddy!

Grandaddy, you said whatever goes up has got to come down.

Nah, not on New Year's Day, baby.

And the other time was the night before Halloween, or in Detroit.

Thousands of fires erupted the moment the sun set over the horizon, the city's rage, blazing orange and red and gold.
