Hello believers, non-believers, and everyone in between.

You're listening to Stories with Sapphire.

I am Sapphire Sandalo.

Now get cozy and open your mind because it's story time.

My podcast in the first season really dives into a long haunting that I lived through.

In fact, the worst haunting of my entire life.

And it wasn't until that haunting that I realized that demons do exist and things can touch you and grab you.

It all began at a very young age.

I was in a car with my dad. I must have been in elementary school.

And we were driving down a very busy road and I was in the passenger seat.

And I just looked at my dad and I said, when we pull up to the stop sign, you're going to need to slow down and stop early

because a little girl is going to run out into the road and she's not going to be paying attention.

And my dad said, okay, so we're just driving and he slows down and he's going way slower than you would on this very busy road.

And he's slowly creeping up to the stop sign and a little girl who wasn't paying attention and was holding something in her hands and was looking down, ran into the road.

And if my father had been going the correct speed, we would have hit this little girl.
