Welcome to Otherworld.
I'm your host, Jack Wagner.
This episode is about a girl named Sierra.
She's from Vancouver Island in Canada, which is already a rather spooky, gloomy sort of place.
And on top of that, this story takes place during a very unusual time in her life.
And I think that's... a main reason why it resonated so much with me.
Like many teenagers,
Sierra was really excited to leave town and start her own life after graduating high school.
But not long after moving, her mom's long time battle with cancer took a turn for the worse.
So Sierra had to move back and found herself right back where she started.
On top of that, She was back for an incredibly difficult reason.
I think anyone who's been through something extremely hard like facing a terminal illness or losing a loved one knows that sometimes during that period life can seem very surreal almost like the veil has become very thin and you often might end up asking yourself Are weird things genuinely happening to me more frequently right now?
Or am I just kind of imagining things because of what I'm going through?
Lots of strange things were happening to Sierra as you're about to hear,
especially one particular thing on a night when her and a friend decided to take a walk through a nearby cemetery.
This episode is called Ross Bay Cemetery.
and you're listening to Otherworld.
