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 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

The Book My Father Left Me: A Campfire Tale
This episode contains mentions of abuse, graphic descriptions of violence, and brief profanity. Two weeks ago, I had the honor of writing a show for a Halloween event at the beach where storytellers spun tales for an audience sitting around a bonfire. My fictional stories were brought to life by the incredibly talented actress Nicole Javier, and the event was produced by Eric Vosmeier and David Ruzicka. It was truly a special experience and I’m proud of what I wrote. I primarily share nonfictional stories on this podcast, but for today, I reworked the live event as a podcast episode.

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.

Stories For Change: The Horrors of the Marcos Regime
On May 25, 2022, BongBong Marcos was elected President of the Philippines. He is the son of Ferdinand Marcos Sr, who ran a brutal 20 year dictatorship.

Something Is Mimicking Us: Stories of Doppelgangers and Tricksters
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.

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.

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.

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.

Territory
Humans, by nature, are territorial creatures. Whether it’s a seat at a coffee shop or our lane on the freeway, we make it known with our bags or car horns when we have claimed a space. But there are non human entities that are territorial as well. So what happens when humans and spirits claim the same space? Who does it truly belong to? On this week’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories that discuss the concept of territory. First, I read a true story about a fishpond business in the Philippines that houses a spirit that refuses to leave. Then, we’ll hear from Greg Mania, who worked at a consignment shop with an easily disturbed resident.

Inhuman
What comes to mind when I say the word “ghost”? For most people, a ghost is the spirit of a person who has passed. But ghosts are not limited to that one definition. They can be an energy stealing force, the personification of unresolved trauma, or the representation of our mental state. In this episode, I’ll be sharing real stories from real people who have encountered these types of inhuman ghosts. First, I read the story of a witch who was in a budding relationship that was more than toxic. Then, we’ll hear of a mysterious entity that’s been following someone around for years.

Then, when I was texting my mom about my podcast, she asked if she ever told me the story of how they found Lolo Mars’ body. She hadn't, and so my mom reached out to her aunt (my Lola Terrie) to make sure she had all the details right. Then, she emailed me my great grandmother’s memoir page by page, so I could also get her perspective of the story.

Batok (Traditional Filipino Tattoos), with Lane Wilcken
There’s something about tattoos that provokes a strong reaction. Sometimes that reaction is admiration, for the pain tolerance of its wearer. Other times its aberration, disgust that anyone would taint their bodies in such a way. But for indigenous Filipinos, receiving batok (a traditional tattoo) was a spiritual event; a ceremony. In this episode, I want to undo any negative stereotypes surrounding tattoos by sharing its history beyond Western sensibilities, and speaking with Lane Wilcken, one of the very few recognized mambabatok (tattoo ritualists) in the world. He shares the cultural significance of batok, as well as the intense and sometimes disturbing paranormal encounters he’s had during ceremonies. Chapter 1: You Wanna Look Like A Gangbanger?

Stories For Change: Talking To Your Filipino Parents About Race
On Stories With Sapphire, I love sharing stories about Filipino culture, but it no longer feels appropriate to continue doing so without addressing our community’s issues with colorism and anti-blackness. This is my way of learning how to handle these conversations better with certain family members who disagree with me, and I hope hearing other people's stories helps you start these difficult conversations as well.

Between Life And Death (with June Ahern)
It's the endlessly debated topic: what actually happens when we die? We may never know for sure, but until then, all we have are stories - the experiences of those who have caught a glimpse of the other side. In this week’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories from my Tita (a nurse with an incredible gift) and psychic medium June Ahern, whose near death experience sent her on her spiritual path.

Not Of This World, with Derek Hayes, Susan Slaughter, Mark Alan Miller
Just when I think I’ve heard it all, I am always pleasantly thrilled when a story comes along that surprises me. That’s what today’s episode is about - people who have witnessed something that is difficult to categorize. Unexplainable things, that you may or may not heard of, that are possibly not of our world. First, I welcome back Derek Hayes, host and creator of the Monsters Among Us podcast, as he describes a cryptid he witnessed as a child that set him on his paranormal journey. Then I chat with Susan Slaughter, paranormal investigator, as she describes her nocturnal visit from a hag. And finally, I speak with Mark Alan Miller, former Vice President of Seraphim, Clive Barker’s production company. I’ve been collecting ghost stories for years, and Mark’s is truly one of my favorites. You definitely don’t want to miss it.
