Sarah Sherman of Saturday Night Live (aka Sarah Squirm) joins as cohost for this episode about a girl named Samantha who came to me with a story about haunted dolls. This took place when she was in her early 20s and hanging around a weird house where she and her friends used to party. One girl who lived in the house collected old dolls that she thought "looked haunted", some of them were grief dolls made with real human hair. This was a strange, bizarre, creepy, and funny episode and I'm very glad Sarah joined me for it.To see photos related to this episode, click hereSubscribe to Otherworld on Patreon for exclusive content and bonus interviewsCheck out our MerchFollow us on: Instagram, TikTok, TwitterIf you have experienced something paranormal or unexplained, email us your full story at stories@otherworldpod.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Short preview of a 2-hour-long Patreon episode featuring an interview with Chris Wiley from The New Yorker. In this episode, Chris discusses his last 7 months of research into UFOs for an article he has just written. To listen to the full episode, visit www.patreon.com/otherworld.While Otherworld primarily focuses on first-person encounters, the current global interest in UFOs/UAPs has prompted us to explore this topic in a unique way. Our plan involves a series of interviews with individuals from various perspectives within the field, capturing a wide range of opinions about this phenomenon. I thought that Chris would be a good starting point, because he is an outsider who recently gained incredible access and has no agenda or anything to gain other than being interested the same way we all are. On the skeptic to full believer scale of 0-10, his views likely fall around a 5.Sign up for the Patreon to hear the full thing and stay tuned for more interviews coming soon!
