Bonus Episode: Anne Hamilton-Byrne and 'The Family' Cult - Collab with Horror House Podcast

2/19/2024
Hey Paranormies! We're giving you a bonus ep this week to celebrate our friends, Dom and Amy, over at Horror House Podcast. They kindly invited us onto their show to learn all about Anne Hamilton-Byrne and 'The Family' cult, located right here in Australia! Make sure to check them out over at Horror House: True Crime and The Macabre "Anne Hamilton-Byrne may have been a yoga instructor, but when you are of the firm belief that you are the reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself and that the world is coming to an end, teaching yoga is not going to be your career path. Starting a cult on the other hand, is far more apt. Join us, and a few very special guests, as we talk about heavy yoga, procuring children and drug fueled rituals. A normal 'Family', this is not." https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com Instagram: @horrorhouse_pod Promos from Dark Adaptation & PNW Haunts and Homicides! Send us a Text Message. Support the Show.
