WEBVTT - Introducing THE INCIDENT AT ONG'S HAT

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>A new podcast from the creator of Tuman Bay. I

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>am posting this message and can't believe it's come to this,

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm posting it in case something happens to me.

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>On September twenty fifth, Sarah Larson was officially acknowledged by

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>the Albany Police Department as a missing person. What was

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>initially believed to be a routine case quickly yielded unique,

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 1>if not unbelievable accounts of what may have led to

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>her disappearance. Her way in to this, these crazy ideas

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>and theories being put out there was through meditation. Sarah

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>was a prominent figure in an online community devoted to

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the urban legend ONGs had a forgotten ghost town and

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the pine barrens of New Jersey, where a group of

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>scientists are rumored to have opened a gateway to another dimension,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and the secret documents they left behind purporting to train

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>others and how to follow them to other worlds. The

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>emotion behind these stories was so tangible. There was this

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>feeling that people were having experiences that defied any sort

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>of rational explanation, and now there's this real life tragedy

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that sort of overshadowed everything. Sarah left a scant trail

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of evidence in her way, digital vestiges, the things she said,

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the actions she took, the people who knew her best,

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and the theories of what happened to her, some tragic,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>others remarkable. One and one still equals to you have

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>one burglary and now you have one missing person in

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>what was taken from her house. These books quantum mysticism

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and urban legends. I just thought something was off. Is

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>hers the story of a crime of passion. I became enamored.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess smitten. Was she stopped by a mysterious stranger? Sarah?

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Who are you? Could she have taken her own life?

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say it, but that message is

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>tend not to suicide. Did she get mixed up in

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy? Yesterday hikers came across another egg shaped pod

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>in the vicinity of Ang's hat and Pride open the

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>hatch to make a shocking discovery. Find cat, find me.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>You've got to start watching your back. I think I've

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>gotten pretty good at protecting myself. So or perhaps her

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tail is one of transcendence, A story for those who

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>choose to believe in the mystery and magic of the

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>cosmos that is quite literally out of this world. Close

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>your eyes and breathe. We'll go there together. I'll be

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>on the other side waiting for you. The Incident at
