In this episode, we delve into the disturbing histories of two infamous cults: The Ant Hill Kids and The Peoples Temple. We start with Roch Thériault, the self-proclaimed prophet who founded the Ant Hill Kids in Canada. What began as a small commune promising spiritual enlightenment quickly turned into a nightmare of extreme abuse, control, and shocking violence. We break down how Thériault manipulated his followers, the horrifying acts he committed, and the tragic fate of his victims.

Then, we shift focus to Jim Jones and the rise of the Peoples Temple, a movement that began with messages of equality and social justice but spiraled into one of history’s deadliest mass tragedies—the Jonestown massacre. We explore how Jones gained influence, the psychological tactics he used to maintain control, and the events leading up to the tragic mass suicide in 1978 that claimed over 900 lives.
