Episode 23: The Ball of Light Part 2

Otherworld
About this episode

Jack runs into Wendy at a grocery store and she ends up doing a startling reading on a complete stranger. Jack interviews Wendy about her views on the paranormal and afterlife. Later in the episode, Jack discovers a declassified CIA document that sounds very similar to the first hand experiences Wendy has described about her "awakening" 

If you would like to read the document in question, you can do so here. Next time, in the final episode of this miniseries we will be diving into the document with a guest and seeing what there is to learn from the theories laid out within. 

I will be doing some bonus content very soon on the brand new Otherworld Patreon! If you want to hear the full story of the grocery store and some more behind the scenes stuff, you can sign up early before its officially announced.
