Welcome to Otherworld.
I'm your host, Jack Wagner.
A while back, we got an email from a girl named Zoe, who is from Chicago.
And she emailed saying that nearly 30 years ago,
her parents had a crazy experience
while driving to their family's cabin in northern Wisconsin.
Zoe's parents never spoke about this event,
and she only found out about it from her dad when she was much older.
Her mom, on the other hand,
refused to talk about this incident and would get very upset whenever Zoe brought it up.
Of course,
this only made Zoe and myself even more curious to speak to her mom and find out what exactly happened to her on this night almost 30 years ago.
Zoe's mom ended up agreeing to speak to me about it.
I'm pretty sure that is mostly due to Zoe nagging her about it,
so thank you to Zoe for that.
And when I ended up hearing about this from her mom,
I found the whole thing to be very bizarre.
It takes place all the way back when her parents just started dating,
and they were heading out for the weekend to make a drive that was very familiar to them.
driving from the suburbs of Chicago out to Door County, Wisconsin.
