Heaven’s Gate & The Florida Exorcism: Cults, Comets, and Tragedy
Description
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, child abuse, death, and religious violence. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
This week, Marie and Nicolina return with a wildly dual-toned episode — equal parts bizarre, chilling, and emotionally heavy. We kick off with eyebrow-related self-surgery (yes, really), trichotillomania confessions, and some questionable horoscope slander — before diving into two of the darkest stories we’ve ever covered.
Marie takes us back to 1997, when 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult willingly died in hopes of boarding an alien spacecraft. Nicolina then brings a heartbreaking 2025 case from Fort Pierce, Florida — a story that has barely left local headlines. When six-year-old Ramil stopped showing up at school, a welfare check revealed a tragedy: his mother had performed what she believed was a divinely commanded exorcism.
This is one of the most emotionally intense stories we’ve covered — and we end the episode by dedicating it to Ramil.
