May 03, 2023 One Strange Thing: Robert The Doll
Stories with Sapphire will return next week. In the meantime, enjoy this clip from One Strange Thing! A mannequin with human hair became a doll, and lifelong companion and/or scapegoat, for an eccentric Floridian artist. The rest is (haunted? possessed?) history, and it’s exactly as unsettling as you might guess. And then some. Hosted by Laurah Norton Researched by Bryan Worters and Maura Currie Written and Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Pre-order Laurah’s book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/

April 26, 2023 If you're here, give us a sign: Stories with Ouija Boards
How do you feel about Ouija boards? I personally believe they are not intrinsically evil and can actually be incredibly fun. However, just because Ouija boards can be fun, doesn’t mean they can't also make unexplainable things happen. So in this episode, I’ll be sharing a variety of true stories from real people who have used a Ouija board, and it was not all fun and games. First, I tell the tale of a person who may have summoned a malicious demon. Then, I speak with Zena Dixon about the door her and her friend opened. And finally, we hear from Amanda Paulson who became the object of a spirit’s affection.

April 12, 2023 Did you hear that too?: Stories of Strange Sounds
Welcome back to a new season of Stories With Sapphire! If you're listening on Spotify, the podcast now has video. It’s important to investigate when we hear a strange sound. But sometimes, it can leave us with more questions than answers. That’s what this week’s episode is about: people who have heard mysterious things that they can’t explain. First, I tell the tale of a young woman who heard someone call her name at school. Then, I narrate the time an unknown voice was heard on the microphone in an auditorium. Next, I share the story of a young person who consistently hears knocking. And finally, I recite the experience of a family who heard unexplained music from their speakers.

March 01, 2023 Watching, Whispering, Waiting: Stories Of Shadow Figures
Shadow figures are one of the most common paranormal sightings I hear of and yet they’re still complicated to describe. The only thing that really unifies all of these sightings is that they are figures made of shadow. But beyond that, they vary. That's what this week’s episode will be discussing - the various types of shadow beings people have encountered. First, I tell the tale of a person who kept seeing the same figure in their house. Then, I narrate the story of a formerly religious man who was harassed by a demon. Next, I share the experience of a person who was chased by an unknown entity. Then, I recount the details of how a young person was surrounded by figures as they were dying. And finally, I tell the tale of a woman who was visited by a mysterious figure after taking in a child. // Thank you Magic Spoon for sponsoring this episode! https://www.magicspoon.com/SAPPHIRE for $5 off your first order! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storieswithsapphire/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storieswithsapphire/support

January 18, 2023 Out of Spite: Stories of Revenge
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind…or does it? Does seeking revenge always lead to an endless cycle of continuous harm? Or are there instances where it’s necessary? Today I’ll be sharing stories from people who have been the target of supernatural retribution. While listening, I want you to keep the following questions in mind: Do you think the victim deserved what came to them? Do you think the victim has the right to fight back? First, I read the story of a young girl who angered a land spirit. Next, I recount the story of a man attacked by a nocturnal creature. Then, I tell the tale of a young person who was cursed. Next, curandero Jason Lindo shares a story of a feiticeira defending her daughter. And finally, I narrate the account of a witch who got in over his head with love magick. - Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storieswithsapphire/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storieswithsapphire/support

For the final episode of 2022, I met with some of the Kwento Comics team (the first all-women, all-Asian comic book company highlighting Filipino and Asian mythology through the medium of graphic novels) as they shared some of their unsettling paranormal experiences, because sometimes the truth is creepier than fiction. First, Meriden speaks of her sleep paralysis demons. Then, Kuri recalls when her cousin was the target of an Engkanto prince’s infatuation. And finally, Cecilia shares a spirit’s cry for help at the Cathedral Basilica of St Augustine. Check out "Mask of Haliya"!
