The Sodder Family Mystery<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite<\/em>, the guys start the show off talking about how a person and they’re family had a terrifying encounter with Sasquatch near the Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota back in 1992. The large hairy beast was beating on the back of they’re RV and actually smashed out a window before the father took a shot at the thing with a pistol. They then fled the scene and drove 4 hours to get back home. Then, a man in Logan County Arkansas, reported seeing a large White Bigfoot! The man said \u201cIt was walking along a barbwire fence from my left to right, from one tree line to the other. I instantly crouched down and moved as quick as I could without drawing attention to myself.\u201d The eyewitness said that the biped didn\u2019t look at him and that he was able to see a few physical details but not its face. The hair was described as silvery white, similar in shades to aluminum foil.<\/p>\n

After the break Cam talks about the Sodder Family Mystery. At 1am on Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family woke up to find their home\u00a0in West Virginia was on fire. They managed to get four of their nine children\u00a0out of the house\u00a0safely, but, before they could get to the others, the stairwell caught fire, cutting off\u00a0the upstairs. The father, George Sodder, rushed\u00a0to get his ladder so he could reach\u00a0the second floor from the outside and rescue the remaining five children from their rooms. The ladder was missing. Switching tactics, he went to get his trucks, thinking he might back them up to\u00a0the side of the house, so he could reach the 2nd story window. They wouldn\u2019t start, though they had been working just fine the day before. The Sodders tried to call the fire department, but got no response.<\/p>\n

Eventually, some neighbors saw the smoke and went for the fire department. Within 45 minutes of the fire beginning, the house was a pile of ashes, but help didn\u2019t arrive for nearly 7 hours. Firefighters\u00a0searched the home, but found no remains \u2013 not even bones \u2013 and declared the 5 children dead. It is unclear whether a house fire can\u00a0burn hot enough to completely consume bones \u2013 but that\u2019s not the only reason the Sodder parents believed their children could still be alive. In the months\u00a0leading up to the incident, not one, but two people had foretold\u00a0that their home would burn down, including one who specifically threatened, \u201cYour children are going to be destroyed. You are going to be paid for the dirty remarks you have been making about Mussolini.\u201d The Sodder parents were both Italian immigrants and outspokenly anti-Fascist. Additionally, one of the older boys remembered having seen\u00a0a strange man lurking by the road, watching the younger children walk home after school. Then there was the bizarre\u00a0phone call they received from an unknown person, the very evening of the blaze. Since the fire, they\u2019ve received tips and letters from people around the United States claiming to have seen their children.<\/p>\n
