November 18, 2023 Episode 86: Roch Thériault and The Ant Hill Kids - Part 1
Today, we are starting our series on Roch Theriault and the Ant Hill Kids.
Roch was a self proclaimed surgeon, father of many, torturer, murderer, and cult leader.
This French Canadian who claimed he was raised by a bear is responsible for the deaths of multiple people including an infant.
This is by far one of the most disturbing cults in modern history. There’s not a whole lot of terrible things out there that this guy didn’t do.
