1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: A new podcast from the creator of Tuman Bay. I

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: am posting this message and can't believe it's come to this,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: but I'm posting it in case something happens to me.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: On September twenty fifth, Sarah Larson was officially acknowledged by

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: the Albany Police Department as a missing person. What was

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: initially believed to be a routine case quickly yielded unique,

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: if not unbelievable accounts of what may have led to

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: her disappearance. Her way in to this, these crazy ideas

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: and theories being put out there was through meditation. Sarah

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: was a prominent figure in an online community devoted to

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: the urban legend ONGs had a forgotten ghost town and

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: the pine barrens of New Jersey, where a group of

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: scientists are rumored to have opened a gateway to another dimension,

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: and the secret documents they left behind purporting to train

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: others and how to follow them to other worlds. The

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: emotion behind these stories was so tangible. There was this

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: feeling that people were having experiences that defied any sort

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: of rational explanation, and now there's this real life tragedy

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: that sort of overshadowed everything. Sarah left a scant trail

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: of evidence in her way, digital vestiges, the things she said,

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: the actions she took, the people who knew her best,

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and the theories of what happened to her, some tragic,

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: others remarkable. One and one still equals to you have

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: one burglary and now you have one missing person in

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: what was taken from her house. These books quantum mysticism

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: and urban legends. I just thought something was off. Is

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: hers the story of a crime of passion. I became enamored.

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: I guess smitten. Was she stopped by a mysterious stranger? Sarah?

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Who are you? Could she have taken her own life?

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it, but that message is

31
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: tend not to suicide. Did she get mixed up in

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: a conspiracy? Yesterday hikers came across another egg shaped pod

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: in the vicinity of Ang's hat and Pride open the

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: hatch to make a shocking discovery. Find cat, find me.

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: You've got to start watching your back. I think I've

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: gotten pretty good at protecting myself. So or perhaps her

37
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: tail is one of transcendence, A story for those who

38
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: choose to believe in the mystery and magic of the

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: cosmos that is quite literally out of this world. Close

40

Speaker 1: your eyes and breathe. We'll go there together. I'll be

Speaker 1: on the other side waiting for you. The Incident at
