Stories with Sapphire

Alright, I know it sounds silly - haunted bathrooms? Really? BUT, think of how many paranormal games take place in there. Think of the iconic horror movie scenes. There's something about bathrooms that make them ripe for hauntings, and that's what we'll be exploring in this week’s episode.
First, I tell the tale of a camper who encountered a boy scout late one night. Then, I share the story of a home that had a permanent resident in the bathroom. Then, I narrate the story of a mysterious childlike entity peeking over a stall. And finally, I tell the tale of a house plagued by inhuman energies.

Sometimes I'll receive an email or speak with someone whose story deserves an episode all on their own. That is the case for Ted from Orange County, California.

Welcome to a bonus episode of Stories With Sapphire. I had the honor of speaking with Sung Kang, who you may know as Han from the Fast and Furious movie franchise. He’s now pivoting from acting with his directorial debut Shaky Shivers, a delightful throwback horror comedy featuring classic creatures and practical effects. He shared a very personal spiritual experience he had recently that helped him understand his life’s purpose, the importance of admitting when you dont know the answer, the struggles of being an Asian American in the entertainment business, and his advice for anyone who wants to enter this industry. I was blown away by his thoughtfulness and introspection as an artist, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
