The Brides of Edmund | Ep. 6

In the early 1900’s, a stranger named Edmund Creffield arrived in Corvallis, Oregon. Shortly after, he formed a congregation he called the “Brides of Christ Church,” and convinced dozens of wealthy women to leave their families behind to join him. Creffield promised eternal salvation, but instead created one of the most notorious cults in Oregon history. His charisma and charm led to adultery, scandal, suicide and murder.

The Haunted Lighthouse | Ep. 5

A magazine article published in the late 1800’s told the story of a young girl who died mysteriously in an abandoned lighthouse on the Oregon coast. For years, the story kept the lighthouse in the spotlight enough so that it saved the structure from being demolished. But to this day, people still wonder: was the story a work of fiction, or based on true events?

The brides of edmund was a great episode. There was another cult in Oregon called the brides of Christ as well. There’s a podcast about it called boiled frogs that’s worth checking out if you’re into cults.
Looking forward to each new episode!
