Episode description
In the early hours on Christmas dady, 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!
