We find ourselves at sea again dolls in 1961 near the islands of the Bahamas, with two separate survival stories connected by a wild night on board a vessel called "The Bluebelle". We focus predominantly around the tale of a young 11 year old, Terry Jo Dupperault who survived four days at sea. But what happened to her vessel? What happened to her family? Listen as we discuss what happened to the child later labelled as "The Orphan of the Sea".

Another cult for you this week dolls! This time, we head to Japan for a new religious movement and doomsday cult founded by Shoko Asahara in 1987. There is a lot to unpack in this episode, and as per usual it begins with a fairly innocent movement surrounding yoga, mediation and positive thinking. But of course, things turn terrible and we cover the cults ultimate demise due to a deadly Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995. We might have a case of the giggles in this episode but make no mistake, this is a nasty one.
