| 0:00.0 | Welcome to other world. I'm your host Jack Wagner. You're listening to the very first episode |
| 0:06.4 | of the show. And in this show, you're going to be hearing stories from real people I've interviewed |
| 0:11.2 | who have experienced something paranormal, supernatural, or simply unexplainable. |
| 0:16.0 | For those of you who don't know me, I'm a director and I host a comedy podcast called Gabbitt Still. |
| 0:20.7 | I wear a lot of different hats, but one thing I've never really been known as as a paranormal person |
| 0:24.8 | is somebody that easily believes in far-fetched things. I think you probably know the type of person |
| 0:29.2 | I'm talking about. That's not me. But that changed for me a few years ago when I decided to do a |
| 0:34.7 | Halloween episode for my comedy podcast. I asked our listeners if anybody had experienced something |
| 0:39.6 | paranormal and I was completely blown away by how many submissions we got. Not only that, |
| 0:45.3 | the type of things these people experienced. These weren't just people who heard a bump in the |
| 0:49.5 | night or saw something out of the corner of their eye. These were serious eyewitness testimonies |
| 0:54.6 | from all over the world that couldn't just be explained away. Not only that, |
| 0:59.6 | they were all from people that I thought were super normal and very credible. |
| 1:04.6 | As I continue to talk with these people who have had these experiences, it became harder for me |
| 1:09.1 | to write this stuff off as fun campfire stories. There are simply so many people out there |
| 1:13.8 | who have experienced things that can't be explained away. And if what they experienced is real, |
| 1:18.8 | the impact that would have on our understanding of reality as a whole would be massive. |
| 1:23.3 | Even if you think 98% of this stuff is made up for people imagining things, |
| 1:28.0 | that of the 2% is a huge number. That's a lot of people who have experienced something |
| 1:33.0 | that defies explanation. In fact, most of the people who have had the most extreme experiences |
| 1:38.0 | never tell anybody about it. Most of the people I interview end up telling me that I'm the first |
| 1:42.8 | person they told. It's a pattern I've noticed and a theme I plan on exploring in this project. |
