True Ghost Stories: The Man in the Hat, a Three Year Old's Closet Ghost, and a Woman in Red with Glowing Eyes

<p>Hey, it's Michelle, I took an extended break by accident. It was my birthday, and then I published <a href="deephealing.energy" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">this comedy book</a> that has nothing to do with the paranormal. Now I'm back with this week's calls, and each involves seeing something that should not be there. </p><p>Brandy from Marysville, Ohio, calls in with a true ghost story from a girls' weekend in Yellow Springs, a small Ohio town with a long history as a gathering place for people with a sensitivity to the unexplained. Brandy bought a dark smoky quartz crystal and that night showed it to her friend Emily, asking if she saw anything in it. Emily said it looks like a guy wearing a hat. Exactly what Brandy had seen and had not said out loud. The next morning a man in a long trench coat and a hat walked out of an antique store in town. She recoginzed him immedently: the man in her crystal...</p><p>Larissa from Texas returns with another call. If you heard her first story about Frank the pocket watch ghost at the medical examiner's office, you already know Larissa has a particular attunement to the paranormal. This story is about her daughter who was three years old when they moved into an apartment in Brownwood, Texas. Her daughter told her there was a tall man in the closet. He waved at her. He was not mean. Then he started asking her to come into the closet. "He cannot come past the carpet," her daughter said. Then he started keeping her up at night and becoming more aggressive. Larissa used holy water in the closet and her daughter's room, and prayed, and the man never came back. Her daughter is older now and still remembers him and drew a picture, which is the picture featured on this episode's show art.

At a four-way traffic stop, a woman in a long, bright red skirt stood perfectly still at the corner holding white bags. Her face did not make sense, blurred, obscured like a filter, but her eyes were clear and glowing underneath it. Honey colored with very bright whites. Sapphire's husband turned left past her. He had not seen her at all. Sapphire drew the woman and sent the drawing to her cousin without explanation. Her cousin had just pulled an oracle card she felt compelled to pull. The card was of a woman with glowing eyes and dark skin wearing red. It was Kali. At the exact moment Sapphire had texted her medium friend Stephanie about the encounter, Stephanie had been listening to a podcast about a woman who saw someone she thought was living and later realized was a ghost. Coincidence? I think not. Sapphire doesn't know yet whether the woman in red was a ghost or something older. But she now thinks about her every time she drives through that intersection. </p><p>Sapphire hosts <a href="https://storieswithsapphire.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Stories With Sapphire</a>, a paranormal podcast where people submit ghost stories she narrates or tells in their own words.
