Ep. 56 | Grief Is a Doorway… What People Encounter in Loss | Real Stories of Presence

Ep. 57 | The Early Church Wasn’t Afraid | The Supernatural World Is Real

Connect With Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360362/fan_mail/new] The early church lived in a deeply supernatural world. Spirits. Sorcery. Miracles. Strange encounters. Spiritual oppression. And somehow… they weren’t afraid. In this episode of Sasquatch & Sourdough, we explore the supernatural world through the lens of the Book of Acts, thin spaces, spiritual atmosphere, worship, discernment, and the presence of God. From the mysterious Green Children of Woolpit to wilderness encounters where forests suddenly fall silent… from ancient Christian ideas of “thin places”  — this episode asks a deeper question: What kind of spiritual atmosphere are we cultivating? Because not every supernatural obsession leads toward life. Some people spend years endlessly consuming paranormal content, UFO theories, hidden knowledge, and fear-driven speculation… always searching for the next supernatural high. Always scrolling. Always anticipating. But never resting. And over time, that produces something too: Fear disguised as discernment. Maybe believers were never meant to become consumed by darkness. Maybe we were meant to carry the presence of God into it. This episode explores:  🌿 spiritual authority  🌿 Acts & Colossians  🌿 supernatural encounters  🌿 thin spaces & sacred atmosphere  🌿 worship changing environments  🌿 fear vs presence  🌿 discernment  🌿 the Holy Spirit  🌿 the Garden of Eden  🌿 returning to closeness with God Because the greatest supernatural mystery was never hidden knowledge. It was Jesus. * Colossians 1:19  “For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.”  The supernatural world is real. But fear was never meant to become the center of the Christian life. 🌿 Sources & Encounters Referenced: * Green Children of Woolpit  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit] * Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization wilderness encounter report  https://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=62354 [https://www.bfro.net/gdb/show_report.asp?id=62354&utm_source=chatgpt.com] *  Thin places & sacred atmosphere  https://blogs.bible.org/thin-places-an-ancient-phrase-with-biblical-roots-and-contemporary-fruit/ [https://blogs.bible.org/thin-places-an-ancient-phrase-with-biblical-roots-and-contemporary-fruit/] * Blurry Creatures episode 422  🌿 www.sasquatchandsourdough.com  🌿 https://linktr.ee/sasquatchandsourdough Strange stories.

Ep. 56 | Grief Is a Doorway… What People Encounter in Loss | Real Stories of Presence

Connect With Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360362/fan_mail/new] Grief changes everything. It can feel like silence. Like distance. Like standing at a doorway you never wanted to walk through. But what if that doorway isn’t empty? In this episode of Sasquatch & Sourdough, we explore real encounters that take place in the middle of grief—moments that are often quiet, unexpected, and deeply personal. From historical records like Phantasms of the Living to modern testimonies, a pattern begins to emerge: People in grief… often don’t feel alone. This episode weaves together: *  The writings of C. S. Lewis on grief and silence  *  Historical crisis apparition accounts recorded by the Society for Psychical Research *  A Bigfoot encounter from Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization in Indiana  *  A powerful account of children saved in what many describe as an angelic encounter  *  Reflections on presence, silence, and what it means to walk through loss  And at the center of it all is a simple but powerful reminder: After losing his daughters at sea, Horatio Spafford wrote It Is Well With My Soul—not after healing, but in the middle of grief. Not all encounters are seen. Some are felt. And some… become something that lasts. Because grief may be a doorway— but it may not be one we walk through alone. Strange stories. True faith. New Here?

Ep. 55 | The Oz Factor: Why the World Suddenly Goes Quiet (Bigfoot & Appalachian Encounters)

Connect With Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360362/fan_mail/new] There are moments when the world suddenly goes quiet.  The air stills. The familiar feels different. Some call it the Oz Factor. In this episode of Sasquatch and Sourdough, we explore real encounters that don’t rely on fear—but on awareness. From the Oz Factor to Appalachian high strangeness, a pattern begins to emerge: the world may not be empty—it may be layered. This episode includes: *  The Oz Factor (when reality suddenly feels altered)  *  The White-Eyed Witch of Dismal Holler (Appalachian encounter)  *  Nebraska Bigfoot encounters (BFRO-style reports)  *  Wilderness moments where something is present—but not fully seen  Rather than asking what these encounters are, this episode explores why they feel familiar… and why people return to them.

Ep. 54 | They Saw the Dead Walking | The Forgotten Easter Mystery in the Bible

Connect With Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360362/fan_mail/new] What if Easter didn’t end at the empty tomb? The Bible records something most people have never heard…  The ground shakes.  The tombs open.  And the dead are seen walking in the city. It’s written plainly.  And somehow… we don’t talk about it. In this episode of Sasquatch and Sourdough, we step into the quieter, stranger side of the resurrection—where the boundary between life and death doesn’t hold, and something deeper breaks into the world. – Mary mistakes Jesus for a gardener  – The sky goes dark in the middle of the day  – The temple veil tears from top to bottom  – And something happens that changes what is possible This isn’t about explaining it away. It’s about sitting with the mystery…  and recognizing that Easter may be far stranger—and far closer—than we’ve been told. 🕯️ If something in this story feels closer than you expected…  find a place this Easter.

Ep. 53 | People Entered Fairy Rings… Then Lost Time | Real Encounters & Biblical Mystery

Connect With Us! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360362/fan_mail/new] Fairy rings in Irish fields.  Lights moving through Appalachian hollows.  Stories of lost time in the woods. For centuries people have described encounters with the fair folk — mysterious presences appearing in thin places between the natural and the unseen world. In this episode we explore real encounters drawn from folklore, modern accounts, and strange experiences recorded in the wilderness. Threaded through the stories is a quiet moment from Scripture: the mysterious blooming of Aaron’s almond staff in the wilderness — a sign of life appearing where none should be. From Ireland to Appalachia, from mushroom circles to glowing lights in the forest, we wander into the strange places where folklore, mystery, and the unseen world seem to overlap. Strange stories.
