Episode 98: The Cult of Unknown Tongues

Before there was Jim Jones, before there was Charlie Manson, there was John Mills and the Cult of Unknown Tongues.

 

On February 8, 1933, after a ten-day long Pentecostal revival, John Mills sacrificed his own mother in a religious ceremony.

 

The craziest cult murder you never heard of! Complete with religious fanatics talking in tongues, handling live rattlesnakes and drinking poison!!

 

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and hear all about it!!
