In this video, we react to How I Escaped My Cult, a chilling story about the Pilgrim Family—where one man used control, fear, and spiritual manipulation to turn his own household into a cult.

This is a powerful example of how cult tactics don't always require thousands of followers—sometimes, it's just one family suffering in silence. We break down how abuse, isolation, and twisted faith can be used to dominate and destroy lives—and how true bravery is found in those who choose to leave.

If you've ever wondered how cults form behind closed doors, this one hits hard.
