Sarah Sherman of Saturday Night Live (aka Sarah Squirm) joins as cohost for this episode about a girl named Samantha who came to me with a story about haunted dolls. This took place when she was in her early 20s and hanging around a weird house where she and her friends used to party. One girl who lived in the house collected old dolls that she thought "looked haunted", some of them were grief dolls made with real human hair. This was a strange, bizarre, creepy, and funny episode and I'm very glad Sarah joined me for it.To see photos related to this episode, click hereSubscribe to Otherworld on Patreon for exclusive content and bonus interviewsCheck out our MerchFollow us on: Instagram, TikTok, TwitterIf you have experienced something paranormal or unexplained, email us your full story at stories@otherworldpod.com

Short preview of a 2-hour-long Patreon episode featuring an interview with Chris Wiley from The New Yorker. In this episode, Chris discusses his last 7 months of research into UFOs for an article he has just written. To listen to the full episode, visit www.patreon.com/otherworld.While Otherworld primarily focuses on first-person encounters, the current global interest in UFOs/UAPs has prompted us to explore this topic in a unique way. Our plan involves a series of interviews with individuals from various perspectives within the field, capturing a wide range of opinions about this phenomenon. I thought that Chris would be a good starting point, because he is an outsider who recently gained incredible access and has no agenda or anything to gain other than being interested the same way we all are. On the skeptic to full believer scale of 0-10, his views likely fall around a 5.Sign up for the Patreon to hear the full thing and stay tuned for more interviews coming soon!

A man named Alex had a prolonged and terrifying encounter with what he believes to be Bigfoot. But this story is very different from what most of us are probably used to when we think of the infamous Cryptid, and it raises questions about what Bigfoot could possibly be.During the Covid-19 lockdown, Alex needed an escape and decided to go camping in the Uwharrie National Forest by himself. The park was closed and off-limits, but he found a very isolated spot and hiked in all by himself to set up camp. Upon entering the woods, he described an electric static feeling coming over his body—a sense of crossing over a veil—and started to experience what can only be described as telepathic impressions. Over the course of the day and night, Alex experienced a series of bizarre and terrifying events that left him confused and traumatized. Only later, after researching what happened to him, did he learn that these things are all connected to the sightings of Bigfoot.Everyone interviewed in this series signed a document stating that they are telling the truth, and not being deceptive in any way.Stay tuned for Part 2 of this episode.To see photos related to this episode, click hereSubscribe to Otherworld on Patreon for exclusive content and bonus interviewsCheck out our MerchFollow us on: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter

During his childhood, Alec experienced a peculiar phenomenon where he would find himself outside of his own body at night. Upon awakening, he would observe his sleeping form before embarking on a journey to explore his own home. Initially, this activity was enjoyable, but he was apprehensive about entering a specific area downstairs, sensing an ominous presence beckoning him toward it. Eventually, he mustered the courage to venture into that area, only to be tormented by an entity for several hours, a haunting experience that persisted into his teenage years.Alec now believes the entity that tormented him in his childhood was The Night Hag or The Old Hag. This is a supernatural creature that shows up in almost every country and culture around the world, going back very far into history. In fact, the word nightmare even comes from folklore about this entity!This is part one of a two-part series.

CIPD is a rare and incapacitating disorder, which confined him to a wheelchair and left him living in children's hospitals throughout his childhood.

Sean Johns and his wife Gina are both Romani, an ethnic group many people know by term the derogatory term "Gypsy". The Romani people are a very misunderstood, extremely spiritual, and heavily persecuted group of people. Sean and Gina are also 5th Generation psychics—something that is handed down from generation to generation and is deeply intertwined into their heritage, to the point that it is just how they see the world and could not imagine it any other way. They run a psychic shop in the Chicago/Indiana area and help anyone and everyone who comes through the door with a problem that other experts can't solve. When people are dealing with something they can't bring to the police or to a priest, they come to Sean and Gina. These two have seen a lot of wild stuff, but one day a woman walked in that gave them such horrible evil energy that they forced her to leave. That is only where the story begins, you’ll be surprised to hear that it ends with gnomes.
