Sarah Ledford shares her miraculous survival story after being stranded for 30 hours in freezing Wyoming wilderness with no supplies or communication. Her harrowing experience reveals how an unexplainable spiritual connection with her cousin across the country ultimately led to her rescue.

• Recently escaped an abusive relationship and was living with new roommates in Jackson, Wyoming
• Joined roommates on a ski trip to Targhee resort despite barely knowing them
• Became separated when her companions went off-trail into dangerous terrain
• Followed ski tracks that led her deeper into wilderness instead of back to resort
• Survived overnight in temperatures reaching -8°F by seeking shelter under evergreen trees
• Experienced hypothermia and frostbite, reaching a core body temperature of 86°F
• Heard and spoke with "search parties" throughout the night that weren't actually there
• Rescued at 4:50pm after creating a branch marker in a clearing
• Discovered her cousin 3,000 miles away had nightmares about being trapped with Sarah
• Cousin's persistent calls prompted the search party that ultimately saved Sarah's life

This world is amazing, and if you look around, just understand that what you see physically is not all there is to it. There are other dimensions that we can't see.

What happens when the energy that makes us who we are leaves our physical shell? Steven Vasquez, a paranormal investigator with over a decade of experience exploring the unexplained, joins the Sonic Hitchhiker Podcast to share the deeply personal experience that transformed his approach to ghost hunting.

After his father's death in 2016, Steven waited months for the promised sign that something existed beyond death. When it finally came—through the unmistakable touch of his father's calloused hand while lying in bed—it erased all doubt. That single moment of connection stripped away his grief and provided the verification he'd been seeking that his paranormal work had genuine purpose.

From there, we journey through Steven's most compelling investigations across haunted Texas locations. At Blackbeard's restaurant, he captured a woman's moan on video when no one else was present. At Yorktown Memorial Hospital, mysterious scratches appeared on his face that somehow passed through his glasses without moving them. Most terrifying was his encounter at the Mineral Wells Haunted Hill House, where a clown doll seemed to launch itself at him during a livestreamed investigation—a moment that turned him into "the fastest man alive" as he fled in terror.

Throughout our conversation, Steven's methodical approach to investigation shines through. Using multiple camera angles, livestreaming, and careful documentation, he creates transparency that allows viewers to judge the evidence for themselves. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, his experiences raise fascinating questions about consciousness, energy, and what might exist beyond the boundaries of our physical world.

Listen now and decide for yourself: when thousands of unexplainable experiences occur worldwide, how many can we dismiss before admitting there might be something more to our reality than what we can readily explain?
