Stories with Sapphire

Show Notes

October is the time of year when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. The stories you’ll hear today are from real people who were temporarily pushed through that curtain and caught a glimpse of the other side.

Like the woman who saw a strange being while giving birth,

The person who dreamed about a friend,

And the person who had an undeniably run in with the dead.

As always, if any of the stories you hear today conjure up any memories of your own that you’d like to share, send it in an email to [email protected]
