Welcome to Other World. I'm your host, Jack Wagner.

This episode is about a girl named Sierra. She's from Vancouver Island in Canada,

which is already a rather spooky, gloomy sort of place. And on top of that, this story takes

place during a very unusual time in her life.

And I think that's a main reason why it resonated so much with me.

Like many teenagers, Sierra was really excited to leave town and start her own life after graduating

high school, but not long after moving, her mom's longtime battle with cancer took a turn for the worse,

so Sierra had to move back and found herself right back where she started.

On top of that, she was back for an incredibly difficult reason.

I think anyone who's been through something extremely hard, like facing a terminal illness or

losing a loved one, knows that sometimes during that period, life can seem very surreal, almost like the veil has become very thin.

And you often might end up asking yourself, are weird things genuinely happening to me more frequently right now?

Or am I just kind of imagining things

because of what I'm going through? Lots of strange things were happening to Sierra, as you're

about to hear, especially one particular thing on a night when her and a friend decided to take a walk through a nearby

cemetery. This episode is called Ross Bay Cemetery, and you're listening to Otherworld.

Hello? Is this Bobby? Yes, it is. At its core, the science, you can't argue. It's not only, us worried about all the science. Up in the sky. It's almost frustrating that it's happening. I'm going to die. I'm like, if limbs were just like wrong. Everybody moves back into the light, even if it takes them ahead. My name's Sierra. I'm 27. I currently live in Montreal, Canada, but I grew up in Victoria, BC, Canada for most of my childhood. It kind of was between there and San Clemente, California, but I grew up in Victoria, B.C., Canada. For most of my childhood, I was between there in San Clement BC, Canada, for most of my childhood, kind of was between there and San

Clemente, California, but mostly Victoria. I'm like an artist, filmmaker, photographer,

by hobby mostly, doing art shit in Montreal, like the rest of them. I moved to Victoria when I was like eight years old, so I was still, like, in elementary

school.

So, like, my memories of California, it's like, oh, it's super, we live close to the beach.

Sancomeni's, like, a small town for Orange County.
