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

This episode is the first part of a series that we've been working on over the last year.

It's about a young filmmaker named Clara, who lives in Quebec,

and how a very brief interaction she had at a French film festival

led to a bizarre series of events that completely upended her life

and left her with a lot of unanswered questions.

When I first spoke to Claire on the phone, it was very obvious how traumatized and frightened

she still was by all of this.

You could literally hear it in her voice.

In fact, initially, she wasn't even able to say the name of the person who caused all

of this out loud. She would just refer to to say the name of the person who caused all of this out loud.

She would just refer to him as the stalker.

As she told me her story, I was not only captivated by it,

I was also hoping that I might be able to help Clara find some answers

and finally get some closure to this dark chapter in her life.

This series, especially the beginning of it, is not as paranormal as our typical episodes,

but it's very frightening, and I think a good way to describe it is that

it takes place within the world of spirituality

and the esoteric.

You'll understand what I mean by the end of the series.

This episode is called The Stalker Part 1, and you're listening to Otherworld.
