It's our first cult case, but we promise it won't be our last! This week Megan takes a terrifying deep dive into a Canadian doomsday cult. Its members were forced to do things like break their own legs with hammers, all because they believed they would be saved from the end of the world. This stuff is bananas, even for the '70s, and it went on for more than a decade. How in the world did this sinister cult case not blow up?!
