On Christmas Eve 1945, a devastating house fire in West Virginia destroyed the Sodder family home. Five of the children were unable to escape as the house burned to the ground, but what happened next became one of the most strange unsolved mysteries. Some of the evidence suggests that the children survived, and the fire was an attack on the Sodder family. In this re-release of an older A Study of Strange episode, we dig into the suspicious clues and facts of the case. Some of which have rarely been published. Theme Music by Matt Glass
