Welcome to the Other World Patreon.

I'm your host, Jack Wagner.

What you're about to hear is a two-part series that covers the very strange story of a plant scientist named Michael, who we have been in communication with

for quite some time. In fact, I just looked and he originally emailed the show on November 20th,

2003, which is actually oddly close to the date in which I'm recording this, almost two years exactly.

But we've been talking to him for quite some time.

As I mentioned, Michael is a scientist, and he specializes in what's called bioregenerative life support for space,

BLSS,

and more specifically,

space crop production.

So in other words,

Michael studies how to grow stuff in space

and perhaps even terraforming a planet one day. I'm sure some of you have

seen this type of stuff referenced in movies or video games or something like that.

That's actually Michael's job. Although surprisingly, funny enough, that is not what he emailed

the show about, at least not exactly.

What he sent in is something completely different, although I think his position as a scientist does have something to do with this entire story.

As a scientist, Michael was always very fact-driven, not exactly the type of guy

who would have imagined himself on a paranormal podcast like this one, but that started to change

when weird things began happening to him.

At first, when I was listening to Michael tell me all of this, I was like,

all right, what is this story about?
