A new chapter begins. Sasquatch & Sourdough has evolved to explore high strangeness, folklore, paranormal encounters, and the unexplained—through the lens of faith, Scripture, and discernment.

This season, we’re slowing down to examine the mysterious thoughtfully, giving space for real stories, historical context, and spiritual grounding. These are not tales meant to scare, but to illuminate, encourage, and remind us that God is present even in the most unexpected places.

Curious minds and faithful hearts alike are invited to journey with us into the strange, the sacred, and the stories that linger long after the lights go out.

The truth is out there. God is with you. And everyone always ends up in the kitchen.

This is a rebroadcast of the shows most poular episode! A lot has changed but for some reason listeners harken back to this gem of an episode!

Before viral videos and clickbait headlines, there were newspapers quietly reporting the impossible.
A coastal creature. Witnesses who swore it was no fish. No hoax—just ink on paper and unanswered questions.

Tonight, we reopen the archives and ask why these encounters keep surfacing across centuries.
The truth is out there. God is with you.
And everyone always ends up in the kitchen.

Christmas has always been more than lights, music, and tradition.
It has been a season of interruption — when heaven presses close to earth, when the ordinary becomes sacred, and when the unseen makes itself known.

In this special Christmas episode of Sasquatch & Sourdough, Christina explores true encounters of high strangeness at Christmas — stories of angels, small miracles, Victorian ghost tales, letters written in faith, and lives saved at the last possible moment. From 19th-century newspapers to modern-day rescues, these accounts reveal a recurring pattern: Christmas is when the veil feels thin.

Threaded throughout the episode is the biblical Christmas story itself — shepherds startled by angels in the dark, light breaking into night, and fear giving way to hope. Scripture reminds us that the first Christmas was not quiet or predictable, but supernatural, disruptive, and holy.

This episode isn’t about chasing fear or folklore. It’s about recognizing wonder. About noticing how God often moves through the unexpected, the mysterious, and the unexplained — then and now.

So light a candle, settle in, and join us as we step into a holy night filled with angels, miracles, and high strangeness.

The truth is out there. God is with you. And everyone always ends up in the kitchen.
