The Queen of Delusion: How a Buffalo Woman Crafted a Conspiracy That Captivated a Community

from Before Breakfast · host Kathlene Herberger

NAMES HAVE CHANGED:In the heart of Buffalo, New York, a bizarre tale has emerged — a narrative so wild that it straddles the line between chilling reality and an audacious work of fiction. Meet Sarah Thompson, a local woman whose fascination with sociology and group dynamics transformed her into an unwitting architect of a mass delusion. By manipulating the narratives of those within psychiatric wards and leveraging the influence of criminal elements, she spun a web of conspiracy that had many convinced that shadowy forces, including the devil himself, were at play — and she was the self-proclaimed “Queen of the Universe.”
