This is a Last Fox Media Podcast.

A still life sits under a suburban street lamp,

three eggs, drizzled in honey, and it still smells like incense.

Is it magic, witchcraft, or prayer?

I'm Heather Freeman.

Join me as we meet the everyday Americans who've remixed magic,

religion, and spirituality for over 400 years. Listen to magic in the United States

wherever you get your podcasts. Richard Serraets. On this episode, a cult survivor recalls the horrific abuse she suffered as a child

while being held virtual prisoner in a Christian survivalist

camp in Alaska.

We were even put through drills.

We were lined up, you know, I've had a rifle dry cocked on me. I was shooting guns by the time

I was 11, 12 years old. Being trained for survival, being trained to go into the mountains,

and they would just scream, you know, do you believe in Jesus because the whole concept

was the communists would come they're going to kill you because you believe in

God and you now need to be prepared to die for that.

This podcast is brought to you by paranormal contractors.

You'd be shocked to know how many people are experiencing

some kind of paranormal activity in their home or business,

perhaps even some kind of spiritual oppression.

It's not something that's discussed in public for fear of ridicule,

but it is happening.
