Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school?

The Family, also known as the Santiniketan Park Association or the Great White Brotherhood, was an Australian New Age group formed in the mid 1960s under the leadership of Anne Hamilton-Byrne. The group taught a hodgepodge of Western and Eastern religious doctrines, with Hamilton-Byrne claiming to have been a reincarnation of Jesus. Classic cult move, Anne....The group became the centre of controversy when its compound in Olinda, Victoria, was raided by police in August 1987 amid allegations of child abuse. All children were removed from the premises, and were discovered to have been adopted through illegal means.  Hamilton-Byrne and her husband were eventually arrested in 1993 and charged with conspiracy to defraud and to commit perjury in relation to the adoption scams, but those charges were eventually dropped and they fled on the lamb to the Catskill Mountains of New York.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Matthew Hahn risks life in prison in order to save a young girl - and due to Hahn's prior criminal record and the 3 strikes law in California turning over this memory card to land in the hands of the proper authorities effectively provides evidence not only of a sexual assault on a child but also of a burglary committed by Matthew Hahn. He knew he was sealing his fate inside of that envelope - yet he did it anyway. Seemingly a petty thief, his sense of duty to protect a young girl he had never met drove him to sacrifice his life of crime and drugs, jeopardize his freedom and prove his moral compass has a true north.

This is the unbelievable followup to the Franklin Scandal.Yes if you’re a long time listener you know I did about a 1000 part series back in 2021 on the Franklin scandal. It may have been only 7 eps but you get the point, I was obsessed with it. I wanted to connect the dots, I wanted to solved the unsolved. So when earlier this week, a victim of this scandal, perhaps the most well known one reached out to me and sent me the kindest message I may have ever received…..I cold called her immediately. Well immediately after sobbing bc it was a message that was so heart felt and also one I needed at the time as well.In addition, she has connected me to nick Bryant, the author and unbelievably dedicated and inspiriting journalist that worked on this Franklin scandal story for over a decade and who was also the person to publish the little black book in the Epstein case and who now, has a non profit with Alisha to get justice for child victims of trafficking.

We left off last week with the murder of Gary Hinman. Bobby Beausoliea was the one said to have murdered Hinman and when he was arrested Charlie was not happy. Nervous in fact. Thought that bobby’s arrest may point the finger at the rest of the family, mostly himself. And Charlie had plans that didn’t include that. Still wanting to be a rockstar but likely confidence dwindling in that category after Terry mulches said "no" to him….He was good at the power of suggestion and manipulation…he was good at targeting and finding people men and women that would be susceptible to it. He was good at the art of the con. And if he wasn’t going to be a rockstar in 1969 he was going to become famous for something else. Helter Skelter, his family of lost souls, his wayward insane personality that he would ride straight through until the end. This is the story of the nights of August 8-10 1969, the murder that followed that, and death valley…the place they thought they were safe from all harm or punishment but the place that they would slip up, get caught, and stand trial for the murders that ended the summer of love. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I remember being so shocked and saddened when this family’s story hit the news several years ago and it’s one that I’ve been hesitant to tell on this podcast because it is so graphic and unimaginable. What these kids (some of them adults) went through at the hands of their parents for years … it turns my stomach and brings tears to my eyes.But their perseverance and strength is so admirable that I wanted to shine an even brighter light on their resilience. Trigger warnings ahead — this episode will deal with child abuse, imprisonment, and horrific neglect. Please take care while listening.On paper (and perhaps in person), David and Louise Turpin might seem like a normal married couple raising their children — all 13 of them, 3 boys and 10 girl, (which might draw some attention in and of itself). But with a little digging it is easy to find some oddities in their relationship timeline, like the fact that they got married when he was 23 and she was just 16-years-old — they had attended the same high school (though not at the same time). The story goes that David convinced school employees to sign her out of school … and they fled to Texas (possibly with the intent of eloping) before being caught by police and brought back home. Surprisingly, Louise’s preacher father gave his blessing on the union and allowed the two to wed in 1984.// SOURCES //https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/turpin-family-parents-now-4581503/https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/what-happened-turpin-parents-family-story-explained-escape-house-horror-takes-internet-stormhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/louise-turpinhttps://facts.net/turpin-family-facts/https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/bad-behavior/turpin-house-of-horrors-timeline-of-how-13-siblings-suffered-years-of-torture-and-abusehttps://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/us/turpin-family-conditions-inside-house/index.htmlhttps://www.desertsun.com/story/news/crime_courts/2018/01/19/turpin-torture-diaries-hundreds-journals-found-home-13-captive-children/1048998001/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/turpin-sisters-photos-of-shackled-siblings-draw-gasps-in-court-david-louise-turpin-california/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10206015/Jordan-Turpin-opens-911-moments-escaping-house-horrors.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12022123/Foster-family-accused-abusing-five-rescued-Turpin-siblings-appear-court.htmlhttps://nypost.com/2023/02/13/some-house-of-horrors-turpin-siblings-finding-life-impossible-after-parents-torture/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Larry Nassar is a master at the art of deception, a man who used his brain to manipulate and con young girls, their parents, school boards, Olympic heads of the industry. He used his brain. He was smart, and he was bold often committing his life shattering crimes to people who considered him family, often right when the parents were in the room, or upstairs at their own home.What Larry Nassar succeeded at doing for decades to cover up his crimes WOULD BE A STARK DIFFERENCE , TO WHAT Larry Nassar woke up to IN PRISON. A hard reality. WHAT made him a confident criminal for DECADES would be stripped from him once he was in prison with people a lot harder a lot tougher and perhaps with a lot LESS to lose THAN THE national medical coordinator for USA Gymnastics. SOURCES:https://www.usatoday.com/pages/interactives/larry-nassar-timeline/https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=LARRY+NASSAR+INTEROGATION&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:874f8268,vid:wfoPHUZJQmYhttps://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/us/msu-amanda-thomashow-complaint-larry-nassar/index.htmlhttps://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/larry-nassar-stabbed-prison-after-comment-allegedly-made/story?id=101212309https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/readers/2018/02/08/larry-nassar-victim-mom-abuse-testimony-letter/319425002/https://apnews.com/article/federal-prisons-larry-nassar-stabbing-6977728020a89676093b2b5995a8e19bhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1609126/Video-Little-girls-dont-stay-little-forever-Stephens-Nassar-trial.htmlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/believed/id1438898081See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We took a much needed breather from the topic of this episode. We recorded part 1 several months ago and news has continued to pour in from Kenya regarding the Shakahola massacre. If you haven’t listened to that first episode, I highly recommend doing so before jumping in here (it is episode 145 from May 7). Now that we have a bit more insight … .it seemed high-time to record this second episode. This episode will focus on the other pastor arrested for their alleged involvement in the case as well as first-hand accounts from survivors and their families … as well as the blind eye that authorities seemed to turn toward the entire situation when alarm bells were sounding.And major trigger warning while listening. Most of the interviews we will play in this episode are very graphic and difficult to listen to.Back to the case — perhaps the most shocking new statistic? The number of bodies that have been recovered from multiple shallow grave sites deep in the Shakahola forest. If you remember from our first episode, that number stood just over 100 lost souls. Now? It’s a staggering 300+ with hundreds still missing and exhumations continuing day after day. One of you commented on an instagram post that you were worried this could rival the Jonestown Massacre and I hate to say it, but I’m right there with you in that line of thinking.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Which is an acronym for the Long Island serial killer….or killers…..so if you hear me say LISK, that’s what I’m referring to…I’ve covered Amanda’s story and have alluded to my theory on the connection but haven’t revealed what I am going to in this episode nor have I given you a basic rundown on the LISK case.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the valley below Mount Pisgah, there is a meandering creek that for the last 30 million years has crept through a desolate prairie, carving into the core of an ancient volcano revealing nuggets of native gold that remained undisturbed on the surface until Bob Womack found a chunk in a cattle pasture in Poverty Gulch and staked the El Paso claim in 1890 - igniting the last Colorado Gold Rush and fostering: “The Greatest Gold Camp On Earth.”It’s true. More gold was pulled out of Cripple Creek than all of Alaska and California’s gold rushes combined. 28 Millionaires were made and the little mining enclave became the financial capital of the country in just a few years. Word of the Gold boom triggered a mass migration of gold thirsty men, with little to no experience mining, to a town that was primed to take their fortune faster than the Gold Fever packed their bags to get there. They say “Money doesn’t grow on trees” - yet it is the root of all evil - so what happens when men start pulling precious metals deeply rooted in the Earth out of the ground faster than Farmers can harvest crops?Greed. A gluttonous hunger for GOLD that erodes the morals of men and women; infecting their souls like a fever - and the contagious excitement of a gold rush spares no one. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’re not talking big hair, power ballads and heavy guitar rifts … we’re talking accusations of kidnappings; coercion; alleged assaults; murder; brainwashing and targeting women. All under the nose of China’s Communist Party begging the question as to whether the crazy allegations surrounding the organization are, in fact, true or whether they’re completely fabricated by the CCP.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I was going back and forth on if this could make a good case for 7DS but I decided it is the perfect case. While I don’t believe that Jack Kevorkian was a sinner or a saint, I believe he was a compassionate pioneer who was grappling with his own generational trauma in the face of the difficulty of being a doctor who has to watch people wither away and suffer - The crossroads of the death he knew as a child intersected with his profession and the unimaginable pain he had to walk his patients through on a daily basis until one day one of them just said Jack…. I’m done… I can’t do this anymore ….and Jack in his own weird way felt too much empathy not to oblige. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Premiering April 15! Comedian George Carlin once said “may the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.” But what if that evils starts within your most trusted organization, your home...your own family. In Season 3 we are covering some of the most wicked and corrupt cases yet, cases so far reaching that they involve some of the wealthiest and highest levels of society committing the most evil of crimes. These perpetrators are so desperate to keep their sins under wraps, they’ve created a cover up they’ll kill for.   Think about it, when religion becomes organized crime you’ve got a group so sinister that the devil is applying for membership. But we are also covering cases that start within the home, small fish with a huge impact. You don’t have to be in power to be powerful....Hey you only need a few people to believe in you to destroy generations of lives.  Hell you only need your family to believe in you. In Season 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners host Rachael O'Brien will be covering cases so dark, so corrupt, that she's honestly a little bit scared.   Make sure not to miss this wild ride by subscribing to Seven Deadly Sinners on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen!

Today is the final episode on the Pride filled out-of-control billion-dollar Troubled Teen Industry. WWASP, deaths and lack of regulation - all stops along the winding road from Synanon. We’re not talking about insects, but an organization that runs dozens of troubled teen camps across the country and the world. Their sting? Just as painful, and sometimes, even deadly. And like, Chuck Dietrich of Synanon, we have another unqualified man ready to carry the torch of attack therapy and abuse all the way to the bank. A man by the name of Robert Litchfield, who without the benefit of a college degree, parlayed his work into a multi million dollar industry. And inspired scores of programs like his that are responsible for many horrific deaths of children, a few of which we will hear about today. We will also hear about what Breaking Code Silence and celebrities like Paris Hilton are doing to shut these facilities down.

In part 3 Tony escalates into the true monster he would live to be until his dying day.  Once Susan Alamo was gone, Tony was left to run the cult with reckless abandon, ordering the followers to pray over Susan's dead body 24 hours a day for a year straight, in order to "resurrect her", her body, not buried.... just sitting open casket in a room.  Tony also begins the most brutal beatings the cult had ever seen, went on the run after feds tried to arrest him for that and tax evasion, before being caught.  And so much more evil ensues!  Sources: tonyalamonews.com alamoministries.com Ministry of Evil Documentary on Sundance Tulsa World Texarkana Gazette See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Susan and Tony Alamo are, the over confident duo, who managed to lure hundreds of people into their cult to work for free, sign their outside paychecks over to them, and worship the ground they walked on.  In this episode we cover how they lured them in, how they kept them brainwashed and a huge surprise at the end where Susan Alamo's grift comes back to haunt her.  www.tonyalamonews.com www.alamoministries.com Rolling Stone Ministry of Evil Documentary  Get 10 free delicious no contact meals with Hello Fresh!

The cult of Tony and Susan Alamo "The Alamo Christian Foundation," began shortly after Tony Alamo moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s.  He was convinced his big break as a musician would come any day but he spent most of his time lying and scamming others out of money and into believing he was a big deal.  What he claims happened next is he heard the voice of God and linked up with another con artist Susan Alamo, who claimed the same.  What happened next is shocking.  Decades of stealing money from their followers and abusing children and their starry eyed followers.

Wrath - Jane Whaley Part 2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wrath…Jane Whaley’s deadliest sin, can be described as, the uncontrolled hatred for someone or something, and the unquenchable desire to exact revenge on said object/person. Sure, that definition might make sense if the wrathful person is responding to someone harming or even killing their loved one. But where in the hell did Jane Whaley’s wrath come from?  Because she directed her wrath fueled fury on the most naive and faultless, children who simply laughed, babies who naturally cried, and adults who were just trying to get by in their day to day lives. Currently, Jane Whaley, is 80 years old. She’s flashy. She frames her angry face with hair that seems almost purposely shaped into bold parenthesis meant to emphasize her anger.  Two large aqua-netted curls that look like they were formed by hot rollers the size of a Costco sized coffee can. She wears St John suits tons of jewelry and looks like a 1980s poster woman for the working gals movement.  But she is not the head of Redbook magazine, or the CEO of Sears, she is an evangelical oppressor with no formal theological training, just the incessant need to manipulate and control people to fill the void of what would have been an average existence.  Shudder is your go to for everything spooky!

Lust in the simplest of terms can be described as an intense longing, perhaps a coming of age confused - constant thought of a high school crush or a celebrity you see on TV.  People who are in the throes of lust may lose their sensibilities, since lust seems unable to recognize the reality of a situation or motivates one to neglect it. It’s a excuse that can be slightly valid in the most innocent of cases but there’s a fine line between a crush, and lust crossing dangerously over into stalking, non consent, or even worse violent sexual assault. But the crush excuse or innocent lack of “sensibility” in the moment does not describe the subject of this season’s lustful lecher Pastor Matt Baker.  No, in fact he was callous, unashamed, and unapologetic in his pursuit to control and take what he felt he deserved.  He “ordained” the time or place of the encounter. He sought to conquest and manipulate,  but mostly barrel his way into groping or finding the most disgusting of times to violate innocent teens, women, and overall, everyone that knew him.  But the person he manipulated, gas lit and violated the most was his unbelievably devoted wife, who’s life was destroyed by her husband Matt Baker...

Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker broke into television in the heyday, when no medium could rival the Christian ripoff off of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Their televangelist show thrived at appealing to the sensibilities of bible belt stay at home wives with kids. The ratings soared and so did the ministry donations leaving Jim and Tammy in control of more money than they'd ever even thought of... but they knew just how to spend it. They went as far as breaking ground on a half baked attempt at a Christian Disneyland before envy got the best of an opportunistic rival in the ministry game: Jerry Falwell; and he was seeking to banish them from God's stage forever.  Sex, Drugs, and millions of stolen dollars are at the heart of this sordid Evangelical story.  And it wasn't just the predatory sexual encounter he had with 19 year old Jessica Hahn that landed him in jail, it was a forensic accounting look into his fraudulent use of viewers donations.  You'd think he'd spend his life repenting but no no, Jim Bakker is still to this day grifti-ng his way into vulnerable people's pockets selling end of times kits and Coronavirus cures.  SOURCES- PTL: The Rise and Fall of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Evangelical Empire -Book by John H.

Let me be clear - I don’t think Ted Haggard is a bad guy and it isn’t the hypocritical homophobia he preached or the meth habit that is his deadliest sin - it is the self loathing slothful crawl from grace that lasted years. Which, produced a  documentary & 3 books that sold because of our addiction to gossip, and our modern day-colosseum-like approach to building someone up, only to tear them down. But Perhaps, New Life Church and the Christian community at large, is the guiltiest party of all in this story, for just short of committing an actual hate crime, they condemned the man because they just couldn’t stomach a gay preacher.

Gluttony is the overindulgence and over consumption of anything to the point of waste. In Christianity, it is considered a sin if the excessive desire for anything, food, riches, etc causes it to be withheld from the needy. Gluttony can be interpreted as selfishness; essentially placing concern with one's own impulses or interests above the well-being of others. -Insert our star glutton Robert Tilton who specifically targeted some of society’s poorest souls and rested easy at night in his enormous mansion paid for by the 80 million dollars a year he manipulated his followers into sending him.
