Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. And it takes place in New Zealand. At this time, she was 19. She just moved out of her parents' house and in with some friends looking for some freedom. And she often found herself hanging out at another friend's house that they called Appleby Mansion. This place was not... in a good state. It was a crumbling house in severe disrepair.
It was far from a safe living environment, but despite that, Rebecca's friends did the best they could to make it more inviting. They decorated the walls, tried to spruce it up a little. However, it was not long before they all started experiencing Some very strange things that revolved around the theme of doppelgangers. I'm going to let Rachel take it from here and tell the story herself.

the vibe was not good there. You know, our energy was great. Like I really enjoyed the people that we were spending time with and like the stuff that we were doing, like people were playing cool music and stuff. And there was just something about the place that, that felt quite intense and quite off.
It was quite noticeable, but that wasn't, you know, brought up by anyone for some time because it's just a house. Like it's just a, just a shitty old house. You're not really trying to read in too much to it in a, You know, you sort of think maybe once you've hung some pictures on the wall, maybe that feeling will change.
I remember my first impression of the place was just that it's really cold and kind of foreboding. And also, it was strangely hard to navigate, which is not something that you really... That's not an impression that a building leaves on you a lot of the time. We were partying and stuff, but I wasn't drunk all the time.
I'm going to this place in the middle of the day and being like, hang on, didn't I just come into this room? It was hard to find your way around and to remember where you were and to remember how to get to, I don't know, the kitchen or whatever bedroom. It was just kind of a disorienting place. Yeah, and the place, the electrics didn't work.
So, you know, once you're there at night time, again, this was before, like, advanced mobile phones like we have at the moment that have torches and flashlights and stuff like that. So I don't actually know how the place was lit. Probably a lot of candles, which would have been a bit of a liability, but that's what we were working with. Within a couple of weeks...
The flat was relatively established. People had moved in and word started getting around that people were having weird experiences there. And the theme that seemed to be attached to these experiences was that each occurrence involved basically a doppelganger or someone that looked like you or someone that you knew that clearly wasn't them. Quite a destabilizing feeling, occurrence.
