If you're here, give us a sign: Stories with Ouija Boards Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

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 Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

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.
