Ashley walks us through the crazy story of the Tromp family. The Tromp family lived on a farm in Silvan, Australia and one day all collectively fled because they thought someone was chasing them. One by one they all started turning up but provided no answers on why they did what they did. To this day it is still a mystery on why they fleed and what happened while they were gone. Join us as we explore the dark side of humanity!

This week Kat tells us all about a woman who abandoned her children, cussed like a sailor, drank 12 shots of vodka a night, claimed to have been Jesus, Joan of Arc, Marilyn Monroe (and so many more people!) in a former life and said she could give people psychic surgeries to cure cancer. Oh and she called herself Mother God...because she is the creator of the universe. Duh! Enjoy the episode about Amy Carlson and her cult "Love Has Won".
