I sit down with Dr. Bruce Greyson, one of the world’s foremost experts on Near-Death Experiences, who has dedicated nearly 40 years to studying this fascinating phenomenon. He is the author of several books, including After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond. Dr. Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia and the former director of UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies. Dr. Greyson’s interest in Near-Death Experiences began just months after graduating from medical school, when an unconscious patient in the emergency room later described an out-of-body experience in vivid detail. This encounter challenged his beliefs about the relationship between the mind and the brain, sparking a lifelong journey of scientific exploration that has led to over a hundred medical publications on Near-Death Experiences.

In the early days of the pandemic, Annalise and her boyfriend decided to go camping 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.

Last year, during the first interview with Solveig, I learned that she had a reading with Wendy coming up. This was early 2023, and I was still just getting to know Wendy (the clairvoyant from the "Ball of Light" episodes) and having trouble wrapping my head around her in general. Then I met Solveig, and it was just so much to process at once. I thought it would be interesting to sort of test them both by recording this reading and ensuring that Wendy knew nothing about Solveig or her story going into it. I also wanted to do this because there were things Wendy had told me in the past that were very similar to some of the things Solveig had told me.

This week, we're unlocking a Patreon exclusive episode onto the main feed while the Otherworld team finishes up some new episodes that are coming very soon! The topic of UFOs is very complicated and, at times, overwhelming due to its rapid changes. For that reason, I began interviewing people who dedicate their lives to these topics and hold a wide range of beliefs. My goal is to talk to lots of different people on Patreon and hopefully cover this topic from all angles. In this interview, I speak with Diana Walsh Pasulka. She holds a Ph.D. in Religious Studies and is a professor at the University of North Carolina. Diana got sucked into the world of UFOs during a wild series of events that is documented in her book, 'American Cosmic.' This book tells the story and the six-year-long ethnographic study she did on UFO believers through the lens of Religion. She also has a new book out now, titled 'Encounters: Experiences with Non-Human Intelligences.' If you want to hear more bonus episodes, you can sign up for the Otherworld Patreon.

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!

A lawyer named Dennis has a terrifying encounter in the woods of upstate New York that leaves him confused and unsettled to this day. He and his friend were awoken by a horrible inhuman growling and before seeing a very tall dark Cryptid-like, creature. Thank you to Frank Buffalo Hyde and Louie from the Onondaga Nation for talking with me about this. I reached out to Kate as well and spoke over text but she is in China for work until July! Maybe we can have her on in the future to discuss it in more detail.

Gabi Abrão grew up with a Brazilian father who believes everything in the physical world is connected to the spiritual. When Gabi and her sister would lose a toy, he taught them to call upon a deity that commands "the souls of the spirit children" for help finding the item. In high school, she had a health teacher who secretly did psychic experiments with the students. She has a lot of strange stories from her unusual childhood and eccentric father but the real reason I wanted to talk to her was about something that happened very recently involving Astral Projection. Gabi started experiencing this as an adult, and after having a very vivid and specific astral projection journey, she ended up meeting somebody who had been to the same place. If you want to hear more stories from Gabi, I am putting lots of bonus stuff and a video version of the entire interview on the Otherworld Patreon later this week. This one was edited down to focus on Astral Projection but she has lots of crazy stories about Ghosts, Witchcraft and her dad's adventures in the spirit realm.
