Girl in the Fog [Patreon Preview]

[Music] Welcome to the other world Patreon. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. This is a short preview. If you want to hear the full episode, it's up now at patreon.com/otherworld. This episode takes place in 2014 and it revolves around a guy named Ryan and his mom, Laurie. It starts when they move into an inexpensive rental property far into the desert in an area called Santan Valley, Arizona. They of course did not know anything about the history of this place before they moved in and a few weeks after arriving, they woke up in the middle of the night to see a green fog billowing out of an air vent that eventually took on the very clear shape of a young girl's face. Eventually, a lot more stuff started happening in this house, not just to Ryan, but also his mom. I don't want to spoil this story too much, so I'm just going to let them explain for themselves. This episode is called The Girl in the Fog and you're listening to the other world Patreon. Hi, my name is Ryan Wick. I live in Los Angeles, Koreatown. I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona for the most part. I like to make music and so in my free time. I've been making music for a little over 10 years, I think. I do label with me and my friends. I do tapes, records, CDs, mostly electronic stuff. I just started sewing. I just pretty much have stuff right now, but it's really fun. So I've lived out here two years now and compared to Arizona. It's like probably completely opposite to being honest. Just a lot of nature in Arizona that's what I really liked about it. But it's fun living in the city. My mom's very religious. I grew up in a Lutheran church. I went every Wednesday and Sunday until I was 15 years old. So yeah, I had a very religious childhood. I never really resonated with it, but on Wednesdays, we would do confirmation class and once you finish that, you're considered a member of the church. My mom always told me, "If you finish this, you get to decide." So I did that and then the day after I was confirmed, I never even went to church again. My mom never bothered me about it. So I thought that was pretty cool. But I understand why she had it. It was just to keep me busy and have a more structured life as a child, I guess. But I was never really religious. I wanted to be when I was younger, but it wasn't the avenue for me. There were certain things about religion that I think I guess I would say I believed in. I was always really terrified of possession and stuff like that. So I think I always believed in spirits or in afterlife for something along those lines. So my mom was really sensitive to that stuff and she would tell me about things that she had seen or felt in the past. So I think I was always open to that idea. I just hadn't experienced anything myself until we moved into that house. In 2014, my mom and I moved into a rental property in St. Anne Valley, which is pretty far east and south in Arizona. I was 18 years old when we first moved in and we had been evicted prior to moving in there. So it was like a matter of finding the house in a week. So it was a really quick move. So we kind of just moved into wherever we could. We didn't even tour the place. My mom had a friend who was a realtor. So she just kind of took his word for it and it wasn't like a messed up property or anything like that. It was a decent one-story house, backyard suburbs, but it was really far out in the desert, middle of nowhere back then. We didn't know any of the history. When we first moved in, there was no, it just, it felt like a normal house. I didn't really get any weird feelings about it. It just was like a normal one-story suburban house. So the first couple weeks living there, there was nothing out of the ordinary that went on. We got settled in there pretty quick. A few weeks after we were all settled in, I had woken up one night at about 3am and there wasn't any noises or like any disturbance or anything. And I just kind of immediately rose up in bed. And for some reason, I knew to look up at the vent over my door. I wasn't having any strange dreams or anything like that when I was woken up. I just had like a strong feeling to sit up and look at that vent. It's hard to describe, I guess. It was like someone told me to. It was just intuitive. And after a couple minutes of staring at it, there was a sort of like vapor or smoke that started coming out of the vent. And it was slightly green. It was like illuminated. Like there was like a light underneath it or something. The green illumination from it, it was like a really strong like shade of green, like almost like a laser pointer. And it was just illuminated from the center of it. It lit up a little bit of the wall around it, but it wasn't extremely bright just enough for me to be able to see the shape of it. And there was no like negative or like evil presence to it. It was almost like playful, but it definitely knew that I was there. It was it wanted me to be watching it and see it. All right, that brings us to the end of this preview. If you want to hear the entire episode, you can sign up for the other one, Patreon at patreon.com/otherworld.
