Ant Hill Kids

Ant Hill Kids is a terrifying story of a cult out of first Quebec and then Ontario Canada. Running from 1977 to 1989 the cult was full of torture and fear. Hard to believe it grew out of a Charismatic member of the Mormon Church. This story is triggering and horrible take that as a warning.
