This is the second week of our four-week holiday break. Today we’re featuring another one of Carter’s favorite shows: Otherworld.
In this episode of Otherworld, host Jack Wagner interviews Annalise about an unusual camping trip she took with her boyfriend, at a spot that had been in her family for decades. The location was very isolated, off the grid, and required a six-mile hike through dense forest to reach. As they trekked through the wilderness, they couldn't shake the eerie feeling of being watched. Despite the unease, they pressed on, dismissing it as paranoia. Once at the campsite, they encountered other strange occurrences, and a mysterious sound that left them shaken to their core and grasping for answers.
Otherworld is available on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
New episodes of Conspiracy Theories will resume December 25th.
