Walk in the footsteps of those who were lured into such sinister groups as:
Branch Davidians: This cult was waiting out the apocalypse when the FBI infamously raided their compound in Waco, Texas.
Los Narcosatánicos: This group of drug traffickers in 1980s Mexico committed human sacrifice and believed their leader had magic powers.
Breatharianism: Breatharians believe that humans can live on air alone, and their founder claimed to have gone without food for seventeen years.
