About this episode
Tonight's episode is a dive into a cult started by a saucy mother/daughter duo who were sometimes sisters! Come on in for a rapture that never comes, some DIY mummies and some seriously sketchy characters from the 1920s. The Blackburn Cult was not your momma's cult.....it was actually Ruth's momma's cult.
