019 The Ant Hill Kids: Faith, Fear and Fatal Obedience

Canadian Creepies Podcast Season 1 Episode 19

Some cult leaders manipulate. Some control. But Roch Thériault? He took things to a whole new level of horror. This so-called prophet led his followers straight into a nightmare—one built on fear, brutality, and blind obedience. The Ant Hill Kids commune started as a seemingly harmless religious movement, but it quickly spiraled into one of Canada’s most terrifying cults. From unthinkable punishments to shocking acts of violence, Thériault ruled with an iron fist, proving that absolute power truly corrupts absolutely.

And in our Current Case segment, we shift to a very recent case: in December 2023, the RCMP arrested two men in Ontario on multiple terrorism-related charges. Accused of participating in and facilitating terrorist activities, these arrests highlight the ongoing threats lurking beneath the surface—even here in Canada.

Grab your headphones and get ready, Creepies—this one is dark. 🎙️🔪
