WTF was that?: Stories to Bend Your Reality
Working in the paranormal has gotten me re-evaluating so many things from my past. So for this week’s episode, I’ll be sharing other stories that have made people question their own realities, and think: WTF was that?

Then, I narrate the story of a person who received a curious birthday blessing.
Next, I recount the time a pair of siblings were stalked in their own home.
And finally, I speak with Prince Jackson, about the shared experience he had with his brother who has schizophrenia.

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.

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.

Did you hear that too?: Stories of Strange Sounds
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.

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.

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.

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.

What's Become of Me?: Stories of Possessions
Welcome to the 7th season of Stories With Sapphire!
Last season ended with a pretty divisive episode on demonic possession, featuring exorcist trainer Adam Blai. In today's episode, I'll be sharing more stories from people who have encountered possession from different causes.
First, I narrate a story about someone who became hexed after handling a mysterious item. Then, I read an account of a man who was taken over by something he thought he could trust. Next, I tell the tale of a woman who had a needy attachment. And finally, I share the story of a boy who witnessed his aunt become taken over by something sinister.

The Mystery Woman on the Highway & The After-life Hotel, with Aura
The following episode contains a story about suicide.
In March of this year, I received an email from a woman named Aura, a fellow Filipino American. She claimed to have had countless paranormal experiences so she wrote out the titles and asked which ones I was interested in hearing. All the titles were accompanied by a brief description, some even had picture proof! There was something about Aura’s email that immediately made me feel like she wasn’t pulling my leg, but really did have genuine stories that she eagerly wanted to share. When we finally met on Zoom, we honestly could have talked for hours. And since we’ve recorded, she has sent me even more baffling videos and stories. This will definitely not be the only time you hear of Aura on this show. She is a beautiful storyteller, and I’m excited to share 2 of her many stories that I absolutely cannot stop thinking about.

The Unseen All Around Us
I feel like we put a lot of emphasis on SEEING the paranormal: You need to see it to believe it... If you can't capture it on camera, it's not real. But that severely limits our understanding to one sense. Spirit shows itself to us in so many different ways, and that's what today's episode is about. First, I read a story about a ghost who harassed a family for years. Then, I speak with Jeff Natividad, whose apartment had an angry energy. And finally, I tell the tale of a girl who could see someone that no one else could.

First, I tell the tale of a girl who had a disturbing dream. Then, I narrate the peculiar experience of a woman who sensed something happened to her husband. Next, I share the story of a girl who predicted something completely by accident. Then, I read the unsettling experience of a boy and his sister who narrowly escaped death thanks to his sister’s intuition.

Something Is Mimicking Us
It’s hard to tell what’s real or not when it's the middle of the night and you’re half asleep. But in the stories you’ll hear today, these people did not have the luxury of blaming it on a dream. Today's episode is all about dopplegangers and people who should not be there.
First, I narrate the encounter of a young woman seeing double at her college dorm. Then, I read the experience of a student working on a group project with some extra help. Next, I speak with Nathalie about the figure she saw in her dining room. And finally, I tell the tale of a group of kids who couldn't figure out why their friend was acting so aloof.

What causes some spirits to stay behind while others peacefully move on? In this episode, we will hear stories of entities that are stuck on earth, by choice or not, and learn how to manage them. First, I narrate a story from someone who was haunted by a curly haired woman in black in her apartment. Then, I speak with Megan Goetz about her childhood home, whose previous owner never left. And finally, I tell the tale of a woman who helped a suffering spirit gain some peace.

![Orbs Caught On Camera, with Joycie Dungca Weatherby](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/production/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/4670404/4670404-1613334619818-d21fd76e22e8e.jpg)
Orbs Caught On Camera, with Joycie Dungca Weatherby
When I was on a show called Paranormal Caught On Camera, we reacted to a lot of internet videos claiming to have captured paranormal activity, and a lot of those videos were of orbs (small balls of light believed to be spirits). But orb photography is an often debated topic in the paranormal community because of how easily other things can be confused for orbs, so I’ve become pretty jaded when it comes to these types of videos.
Then I spoke with Joycie Dungca Weatherby. She has had so many different kinds of orb encounters that it got me excited about the topic again. She’s even caught many of them on camera. I’ve posted them on my social media accounts and storieswithsapphire.com so you can analyze the videos yourselves.
In this week’s episode, I speak with Joycie about orbs, spirit portals in her home, communicating with angels, and the meaning of life.

Close To Death, with Ebony Soy
Everyone has a very different relationship with this one thing that unifies all of us. Examining that relationship can teach us a lot about ourselves.
This week’s episode is about the different ways that death appears to us and challenges us. First, I share the story of someone who was followed home from a hospital. Then, I narrate an encounter from someone who traveled to another realm in a near death experience. And finally, I speak with Ebony Soy, about how coming from a line of healers has opened her up to otherworldly experiences.

Premonitions, with Barbe West
The concepts of time and destiny are ones that I constantly think about. Are the past, present, and future predetermined and all happening at once and we’re just experiencing it in a linear way? Or is everything created impromptu, leaving room for change? In this episode, I’ll be sharing real stories from people who have the ability to know about future events, so that maybe we can better understand how time functions. First, I share a story from someone whose dreams keep becoming reality. And then I speak with Barbe, who always seems to know what’s about to happen to her family.
