Welcome to the Otherworld Patreon.
I'm your host, Jack Wagner.
This episode that you're about to hear is a really interesting one and a very unique one that I've been working on for a long time.
I know I say that a lot,
but the truth is there are quite a bit of episodes that I have been tinkering with over the last couple of years that have never come out and I'm finally just releasing them.
This is one of those episodes, and I think you're all gonna really like it.
It comes from a guy named Chris, who is apparently also nicknamed Goose,
as you will hear to him, as you will hear him referred to in this episode a couple times.
Chris is from Canada and is a very avid fisherman.
The type of fisherman...
who is regularly driving very far into the wilderness, and then after parking his car,
hiking multiple hours after that, before he even gets to the spot where he does the fishing.
He goes to great lengths to access these spots where there's absolutely no possible way another fisherman or even another person would be out there or anywhere close to it.
It was during one of these trips that he finds some signs that he might not be alone out there after all,
which opens up a big mystery for Chris.
Chris eventually posts about this experience online and one of his friends who comes from a local First Nation reached out to say that he thinks he knows exactly what it was that Chris encountered out there.
And he explained that it has something to do with beliefs and ceremonies that are typically kept secret and far away from outsiders.
This episode was incredibly interesting and dives into indigenous practices that are kept secret.
In fact,
part of the challenge of making this episode is that so much of the information about this topic cannot be shared.
