The Curious Case of the Sodder Children

The Curious Case of the Sodder Children In the early hours on Christmas day, 1945, a fire quickly spread through the Sodder house and five of the nine children at home never made it out. They were presumed dead. It wasn’t long though before the Sodders began to notice that certain details didn’t add up, and they began to suspect the children were actually alive. A theory that persists to this day. The Sodder Children story has been passed down through generations and it's getting harder and harder to solve the mystery. Bringing a new perspective to this case is guest Mr. Matt Glass. Famed composer of A Study Of Strange's theme music!

Kenneth Arnold and the Birth of the Flying Saucer

Image
 Kenneth Arnold and the Birth of the Flying Saucer 1947 was a historic year. On top of the atomic age and the Cold War knocking on the door, a man from Boise, Kenneth Arnold, saw nine strange objects in the sky and it changed the world forever. The press ate up Arnold's story, and the few weeks that followed saw a frenzy of "flying saucer" sightings including some of the most notorious UFO cases of the 20th century. Were they all just part of the mass hysteria that followed Arnold's account? Guest Keri Pina brings her passion for the UFO phenomena to the show! Have you seen a UFO, UAP, or USO?

The Man Under The Latrine

Image
 The Man Under The Latrine The "out of the ordinary" case as described by our guest, Amber Keating, happened in 1989 in Fukushima, Japan where a deceased man was found in the collection tank of a squat toilet. The story has become a mainstay of mystery blogs, reddit posts, and youtube videos, but authentic sources for research are hard to come by. Regardless, it's a worthy mystery. If it's true, how and why did the man crawl into the small, gross pipes? Guest Amber Keating is a licensed clinical social worker and mental health clinician.
