    By far my favorite paranormal podcast
    Thank you, Sapphire, for bringing much needed diversity and thoughtfulness to the paranormal podcast world. What you’ve got here goes above and beyond other similar podcasts. 🖤✨

    Almost nostalgic…
    Personally, the depression I felt realizing Sapphire left the Something Scary podcast caused me to drift towards Snarled a little more, but recently I found this podcast starring Sapphire. It’s nice to hear your voice again, Auntie Sapphire. :)

    Sound quality needs adjustment
    Please fix the sound! Perhaps integrating a pop filter? The hissing sound when she says s’s and c’s is hard to listen to.

    I personally used to LOVE stories with Stories with Sapphire! Its was a fun thing for me to listen every now and then. Unfortunately it lost the little bit of spookiness it had to it, I still 100% recommend it to anyone who loves a good spooky story. Love you Sapphire ❤️

  • Sianarama
    A great podcast all around!
    I love the way Sapphire has her episode organized, and I love her voice. She does an exceptionally great job at storytelling and also I like that each episode has a part where someone else tells their story. I love this podcast.

    A gem
    A true gem that tells stories I don’t always believe but am entertained either way.
  • Beedubz76
    Mixing slogans & administrations.
    Why don’t you just call her a big lying pig instead of calling her the oprah of anything??? It’s a bit nicer
  • B4ldochi
    Love you Sapphire
    I love your show I am Mexican and I love listening to you and all the wonderful anecdotes people share. It’s a learning experience for me to learn about pinoy culture and to see the similarities we have with our culture thank you for collecting and documenting all of this for us and future generations..
  • JComptonTSH
    Stellar with an interesting and thoughtful approach
    More than scary stories. A sincere exploration of the supernatural. Simply excellent.
  • CuriousSarahQ
    Haunting and Addictive!
    I’ve been tuning in for only the past few months, but I think I’ve listened to almost all of these episodes. Some of them scare me to the core, and some bring a tear to my eye with sweetness. Sapphire is a great storyteller and I love that she’s repping a culture I didn’t know much about, and bringing a female voice to the spooky story game. Thank you for educating me and scaring me!

  • PhiltheFilipino
    Sapphire is an amazing story teller
    This is one of the best paranormal podcasts out there because of the incredibly diverse well of stories Sapphire pulls from! It’s a breath of fresh air from all the cookie cutter paranormal shows & well worth your time! Salamat po, Sapphire!
  • Milamama18
    Not the usual paranormal
    Like many shows this one tells listeners stories and I usually am not a big fan of those particular kinds of podcasts but this one I like! It’s a good mix of paranormal professionals and stories.
  • Milosays18

    To much race talk
    I was really enjoying this show. But the guests sometime are a little to extreme when talking about race. I ended up having to walk away from this show.

    Many great stories….
    I love this podcast a lot. Ms. Sandalo is a great story teller and has a great voice for the work, warm and smooth, displaying her sense of empathy and kindness, bringing a truly diverse set of stores to life. The only thing I can really critique is some of the stories strain my credulity a bit, such as the one where a woman claimed a stranger who helped her was the spirit of her dead baby sister and her two guardian angels. It seemed to me that she assumed that the young woman was hired in Hawai’i, rather than move to California and was hired there. I have no clue what had happened to the young woman, but even if her explanation for her being in California made little sense and her work crew of old people seemed odd, there are more plausible explanations than going right to the supernatural. If I had to wager, they were not supposed to be there, and seeing a stranger in trouble, she helped the story teller and then they got in their truck and left, not wanting attention drawn to them.

    background music too loud
    love the stories but sometimes it’s hard to focus on listening to the story because the background music sound is too loud
  • grey husky
    ATTENTION!!
    I love this podcast, but I would appreciate it if you would post more and more consistently. I also have a request on content. I’m a Taurus and I’ve been learning about zodiac signs, and was wondering if it in any way connected to the paranormal. P.s if anyone can reach out to sapphire about this and talk to her on instagram, and tell her my question and username? I don’t know if she can see this. Thanks!

    Beyond Paranormal
    If you’re BIPOC and looking for a breath of fresh air—this podcast is it! Tales that weave the biopsychosocial and, of-course, spiritual stay with me even more deeply than any other. Viewing the paranormal through multiple lens’ are what this field needs so desperately! MAHALO PIHA!
  • Alisyss
    Hii
    Hello I’ve been listening to your voice since I was in elementary school on snarled and I loved your stories and I love this podcast even more
  • diba13
    It won’t play for me??????
    Let me just say I love your stories and I followed you since your time in something scary, but I tried playing your podcast run and it won’t play for me????? I know it’s just an issue here because I played a different podcast from a different channel and it worked fine, the thing is I tried watching something scary podcast and the exact same thing happened and I was like wth????? So yeah I guess I’m unlucky

    I love her voice and the way she tells her stories. Some of them are really creepy. I like that she incorporates history and tradition. I wait every week anticipating a new episode.
  • PancakeFeet

  • BAEH008
    LOVE
    Great podcast LOVE episode with SIMON MOTA-SMITH!
  • sarah.lynne.bell
    Sometimes offensive
    Didn’t love the entire episode of Simon Moya putting white people down the entire time. Why is that ok? I get being aware of our past, but not all white people are greedy. And why can he speak for his Navajo friends?! Hypocrite
  • not the real tosh
    Well produced and interesting episodes
    This is an entertaining, well produced podcast that discusses paranormal events.
  • RedOrangeTree
    Slayy!!!!
    I’m being truly honest, I really like your personal podcast way more than something scary.I feel like when you tell your stories it gives a more creepy vibe, the way your tone is even though your voice is calm it still sounds scary.I will always be your fan to support and here for every episode.
  • isabella rhe ghost
