    The Life of Jack Parsons [Patreon Preview]

    The Life of Jack Parsons [Patreon Preview]

    This week on the Otherworld Patreon, we are diving deep into the mysterious life of Jack Parsons, an inventor, pioneer of rocket engineering, a founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, and a very dedicated occultist.
    Parsons was deeply involved in the occult, becoming a prominent member of Aleister Crowley's Thelema religion and engaging in various mystical and esoteric practices. Parsons' home in Pasadena became a base camp for all sorts of unusual characters and people affiliated with the occult. Jack also became friends with a specific young author who would one day become very famous... Jack Parsons' life was a fascinating blend of scientific genius and occult mysticism, making him a uniquely enigmatic figure in 20th-century history.  In this episode I am joined by friend of the show Wolf Fleetwood-Ross to unravel the strange story of Jack Parsons' life.

    Episode 88: Sawyer River Road

    Episode 88: Sawyer River Road

    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.

    Episode 86: Them: Part Five “I See You”

    In the last episode, the interview is interrupted by a voice coming through the computer of Solveig's mother. She claims the voice was saying something directly to Jack, which prompts him to abruptly end the interview in order to investigate. This episode picks up in moments after the last episode ended.
    Afterwards, we heard the rest of the story about what happened between Solveig's mom and Sara.
    Next week, this series will come to a close.
    In the meantime we will be discussing these episodes in a Patreon episode this week.

Really good

This is my favorite paranormal podcast. The host does an amazing job of being neutral and understanding other people’s beliefs. I’ve heard some really offensive host belittle other people’s cultures and beliefs because they don’t understand them and Jack doesn’t do that. He listens and remains neutral which I really like. The stories are really good and well researched, there is obviously a lot of time and energy put in to making sure these stories are truthful, which I also appreciate. Great podcast!

A great listen in this genre

I am really enjoying this podcast. If you enjoy paranormal stories, check it out. Reminds me a bit of Radio Rentals with the stories and I love that podcast, too.

Need Pics and Video

I’m all in on Otherworld and Jack Wagner. Joined Patreon, can’t believe this podcast even exists.
But Otherworld needs to take a HARD cue from folks like Derek over at Monsters Among Us who is one of best in the business. He always has links, pictures and video right there under the episode description. And they work.
I just listened to the Patreon episode about the pair of exploding glasses in the cabin and could not even open the video file on my iPhone. The exploding glasses story is nothing without pictures of the actual exploded glasses. This is not the first time I’ve had trouble- the “ghost girl video” would only play in a tiny format on my screen and I could not find it on YouTube.
I know Jack and team are getting up to speed and have a crazy pace, but guys - we need to see the evidence!! The current Norwegian series describes videos from a car but only plays the sound from them when the actual logistics of the video are super important.
I find it funny that Jack has a hard time believing things sometimes but how are we to believe it when we don’t even get to see the evidence??
