What events led Corinne to move into her grandfather’s bayou cabin?
Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. This episode comes from Corinne, who grew up in Marouge, Louisiana, a very small town in the northern part of the state. And Corinne later moved to a nearby city that she says fans of the show Duck Dynasty might be familiar with. I am not sure how big the center of the Venn diagram between Duck Dynasty and Otherworld is, but either way, I think the fact that this story takes place where it does, in Louisiana, is very important. If you've never been down to Louisiana, I have to say it's one of the most unique places I have ever been to. It's a place where you really do feel a strange energy in the air at all times. It's a state where the lines between land and water really blur.
and the terrain itself is constantly shifting. It's also a region of the country that feels like a direct link to prehistoric times and a place where you can find real isolation. I'm talking about areas where it feels as though you can easily disappear without a trace at any moment. Corinne's story begins in a rather intense way when her boyfriend threatens to kill her, so she decides to move into her grandfather's old cabin outside of town. This is a cabin that sits on an island in the middle of the bayou. In this cabin, she begins having a number of intense haunted experiences. In fact, I'd say these are some of the most extreme ones we have had on the show thus far. And for Corinne, what was supposed to be a place of refuge starts to drag her deeper into depression and despair.
This is a pretty charged episode for a lot of reasons, both paranormal and not. This episode is called Beneath the Bayou, 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 Corinne. I'm a queer esthetician in Kansas City. My life is pretty quiet nowadays. I kind of just hang out with my cats and my girlfriend. We go out to eat a lot, you know, that sort of thing. Nothing too crazy, just kind of a quiet life. An esthetician is basically someone who does facials and kind of more advanced treatments like microneedling and things like that. I live in Kansas City. I actually live in a historic neighborhood that was kind of created by lesbians. It's really cool. It used to be called Woman Town.
How would I think of that name?
Right, yeah. It's a cool little historic area of Kansas City. It's really cute. I live in a nice little historic fourplex over there. And it's just a really peaceful little area. So I grew up in a place called Marouge, Louisiana. And Marouge is its own bayou country in kind of the middle north of Louisiana. So it's not the same as bayou country in south Louisiana. But we did have plenty of Creole and Cajun people live around there. I grew up directly on the bayou, so we would have alligators in the yard sometimes. Lots of big snakes, lots of big bugs. We grew up pretty poor. It was, you know, a bayou farmhouse that was kind of rickety, but still home nonetheless. You know, a big old attic fan for AC and the sweltering Louisiana heat.
Um... And all of our animals, we had so many chickens. But Marouge is out in the middle of nowhere. It is verifiably 30 minutes from the closest gas station, you know. So it is very deep bayou country. There is this one time, well, several times that I would go and swim in the bayou as a child. And it would just freak my grandma out so badly. This was her house, my grandma's house. It would freak her out so badly. And I never understood why as a child. I finally got caught doing it one day because I was covered in mud. And she was so mad. Oh my gosh, she was so mad. And I never understood it until, you know, I'm an adult now. And I get, you know, I would probably freak out too if... A child of mine was swimming in alligator water.
How did Corinne’s abusive boyfriend’s threat trigger the move to the island?
You know, I think I'd be pretty peeved too. Marouche was also this place where, you know, people would definitely go missing a lot.
