On November 22, 1995, filmmaker Allen Ross disappeared without a trace. Allen was part of a religious cult called the Samaritan Foundation, that was led by his wife Linda Greene. Linda believed vampires could gain access to her by talking on the phone, negative energy could be washed away with soy milk, and barcodes were evil. Years later, Allen's body was found, but no one was ever charged with the murder. Linda’s ex-husband Denis is still alive and working as an inspirational Evangelist speaker who says he survived a “miracle” by riding a wheelie on a motorcycle through a pack of baboons. ALSO: Ali demonstrates how to use a pendulum.—EMAIL US: [email protected] US A VOICEMAIL: 626-604-6262—FOLLOW US: TwitterInstagramRedditFacebook—To join our Patreon click HERE—MERCH: https://webcrawlerspod.com—Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers.

In 1587, John White led a group of 118 colonists to the first English settlement on Roanoke Island off the coast of North Carolina. But when the colony's leader, John White, made a trip back to England to get supplies, he returned to Roanoke to find all the settlers had vanished. They left behind only a single clue, the word “Croatoan” carved into a post. The colonists were never seen again.

In 1920’s Los Angeles, a mother/daughter duo of sixty-year-old May Otis Blackburn and her 24-year-old daughter Ruth started a cult called Blackburn with the goal of swindling members out of money.

In the 1960's, James Baker, soon to be known as Father Yod, moved to Los Angeles and opened a health food restaurant called The Source. Through vegan food and teaching Kundalini yoga, he managed to amass a trusty following of young LA hipsters. To outsiders, the group, known as the Source Family, seemed like stereotypical hippies, with names like Galaxy and Olympus. But there was a dark side: Yod was having sex with young members of the group and declared himself to be essentially God. Somewhere along the way, they even started a jam band. Father Yod, who by the end “married” 14 of his followers, was becoming increasingly paranoid that the government was watching him. He moved the entire family to Hawaii, where he rashly decided to go on a hang gliding mission. Listen in to hear how this quintessential California cult met its messy end.IN ADDITIONThis article has a menu from The Source. Maria “doesn’t need their bullshit food”. Ali admits she doesn’t mind when she finds hair in her food. Melissa calls the avocado “nature’s butter”.As for cult names, our hosts are in agreement that Electricity is a solid name. Maria thinks her cult name would be Bumblebee Blasucci. Ali’s? Petal Aquamarine. Ali suggests listeners should make a cult name generating app. This article talks about the prime LA real estate The Source family resided in, including the Harry Chandler Estate. Also, Bud Court from Harold and Maude was a member of The Source at one point!A minor brawl erupts when Ali mis-quotes Walt Whitman as saying “Two roads diverged in a yellow road”. She meant Robert Frost, whose poem begins “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.” Ali threatens to leave the podcast. Maria assumes The Source Family’s band Ya Ho Wha 13 “did not sound great”.What?? Cafe Gratitude is inspired by The Source?? Here’s the podcast about it, from Oh No, Ross and Carrie! And here’s Vespertine, another Source-ey culty eating establishment that Melissa mentions.To learn more, watch the documentary The Source Family, available to rent on Prime. —EMAIL US: [email protected] US A VOICEMAIL: 626-604-6262—FOLLOW US: TwitterInstagramRedditSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers.

The Purple People aka Lafayette Morehouse is a controversial group that has been labeled a sex cult. They live in purple houses, wear purple clothes, and drive purple limos. Its members teach sexual practices and techniques, but some say the group uses coercion and mind control to keep members from the outside world. They reportedly have ties to One Taste, an alleged pyramid scheme that offers "orgasmic meditation" for women.
