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. And finally, I share a true story about a boy whose life was changed when he witnessed the Smoke Man.

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. And finally, I speak with a man who seems to attract spirits of all kinds. Chapter 1: His Little Devil, by Hiro Chapter 2: Followed, by Jackknife Chapter 3: What I Saw In The Darkness, with Ziek Martinez Check out Ziek's band Frantic Romantic https://franticromanticmusic.com/ https://m.facebook.com/FranticRomanticMusic408/ http://instagram.com/franticromanticmusic --- 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.
