In the depths of an Atlanta forest, a clash between activists and authorities ends in tragedy.

I'm Matthew Scher, and on my new podcast, We Came to the Forest.

We expose the hidden truths behind a shootout.

They left one activist dead and countless lives forever changed.

Binge all episodes of We Came to the Forest,

ad-free on Wondery Plus. Hello and welcome back to cult leader. I'm your cult leader, Spencer Henry. And this week, Colt Babes, you've been so good to me lately. I thought, hey, you deserve a bonus episode. So instead of doing our little leader segment for the week, we are going to be discussing a case that has, I've just been enthralled with this past week. Eating it up, late night, scrolling, binging, the amount of time

that I have spent on the newspaper archives. And don't picture I'm looking at newspaper archives online.

I want you to picture, I'm in a library, right? A big green library. There's like dark leather

couches. And you just hear this like projector

in the background like, I'm just scrolling through all the old papers.

That's like the vibe I'm trying to give off, okay?

This week we're discussing a woman who was often referred to as the nun of death, though she's also made headlines being dubbed

the female Rasputin, which you want to know about Rasputon, go listen, there's an obituary episode

somewhere about them, but to her cult following, she was a saint. To those who escaped her wrath,

she was a monster, and to the families of those who never made it out of her grip, she was downright

diabolical. As is the case with most cult leaders, Miriam Sola Keotis promised her followers the ultimate

eternal prize of salvation. As is also the case with most cult leaders, instead what she

delivered was torment, starvation, and moida.

It's honestly insane to me how little this woman's name comes up in the cultist sphere. I mean,

I've been talking about quotes for like, what, six years now, and I'm just now learning her name.
