Welcome to other world. I'm your host Jack Wagner. So I've been sitting here for quite

a while trying to figure out how I'm going to introduce this episode, because there's

a lot of ways to interpret this story you're about to hear. And I think everybody's going

to have their own very unique reaction to it. Me personally, I find the story very profound.

I've been thinking about it a lot ever since I did this interview. You know, I of course

love hearing paranormal stories, but for me personally, what I'm most interested in is

how these people react to these extreme moments in their life and how these moments factor

into their life as they move forward or how they don't factor in. And I think this is a very

interesting case of that for me at least. But I anticipate that everybody's going to have

their own reaction. And I think that's good. So it's probably best if I just start this one out

and let the person tell the story themselves. This comes from a guy named Russell. He's a woodworker

and he's actually been working since he was 13 years old, believe it or not. His dad owned

a construction company and he's been doing construction since he was old enough to be out there.

Very hardworking guy, serious by the book, numbers type guy, not a type of dude you would expect to

be emailing a paranormal podcast. And I'm pretty sure that Russell himself was very surprised

to find himself emailing me. So I think you're really going to enjoy this story. It's best if I let

him explain to himself. This is episode 16. The title is Everything Goes Black and you're listening to

the other world.

couldn't get a job at a restaurant or anything. So I would do I would like Mulan's, I would help out
