Window To The Soul

About this episode

There’s a reason the eyes are considered the windows to the soul.  In this week's episode, Sapphire shares a tale about a doll with oddly realistic, golden eyes. Then, she interviews Chelsey Weber-Smith, the host of American Hysteria, a podcast that explores our moral panics, urban legends, and conspiracy theories, how they shape our psychology and culture, and why we end up believing them. Chelsey shares some personal ghost stories and Sapphire gives them a tarot reading.
