Episode #11: The Delhi Purple Sapphire/Mount Hope Cemetery

This week, we uncover the dark history of the Delhi Purple Sapphire — a gem that brought nothing but chaos to its owners — and wander through the haunted grounds of Mount Hope Cemetery. We’ll talk about why stealing sacred artifacts is a terrible idea, the restless spirits still lurking among the graves, and how bad decisions can follow you into the afterlife.

🎧 Grab your sage and headphones — it’s going to get spooky!
