Full Episode
Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. You know, I wasn't sure if we'd ever be able to record this interview. It comes from a woman named Lucy who reached out to share her story but expressed hesitation from the very beginning, mainly because of how sensitive the story is to her family, with whom she already has a very complicated relationship.
I told Lucy, hey, take your time, think about it. If you decide you do want to do it, we'll be ready whenever you are. And of course, eventually, she did reach out and say that she was ready to finally be interviewed. I often find myself explaining to people that not every episode of this show is scary. Some of these stories are uplifting, funny, or heartwarming. And sometimes...
The paranormal aspect of the story emerges in the middle of a much broader story about people's lives. And that paranormal aspect impacts the way people relate to each other, no matter what you believe about this type of stuff. These are my favorite kinds of stories, and I think this episode is a perfect example of that. This is episode 118.
The title is Lucy and Lauren, and you're listening to Otherworld. Hello? Is this Bobby? Yes, it is. At its core, the science, you can't argue with.
I'm worried about all the science.
Up in the sky. It's almost frustrating that it's happening. I'm going to die.
Everybody moves back into the light, even if it takes them a minute.
Hi, I'm Lucy. I live in the southeast of the United States. I'm 35. I work in the service industry, and I have for 16 years. I work at a really nice, fun, and funky, eclectic restaurant That has been such a blessing in my life. My bosses are great. I'm literally living in their house right now. And yeah, I love everything from hiking to writing to reading. I obviously consume a lot of podcasts.
And I have been wanting to share this story for a really long time. But none of the other podcasts ever felt quite right. So until I was 11, I grew up on a little island along a river. It literally was just big enough to have a neighborhood. So it was really safe. I grew up without squirrels, which in retrospect is pretty hilarious.
