Psychologist Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer, author of “Cults in Our Midst,” once estimated that a whopping 10 million to 20 million Americans have dealt with cults to some degree.
Elizabeth told Fox News Digital she’s been stunned by the messages they’ve been receiving from callers. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
"It’s one of the most interesting parts of what we’ve done," she explained. "We ended up using one of the stories as a complete episode because that person left us a message, and we just kept talking to them. And it’s crazy how different everyone’s story is, and yet they’re so similar. … I’m constantly struck by how many people experience this and yet how strong and resilient they are. There’s been such a misconception about these kinds of people. But the truth is, the kinds of people who end up in cults are incredibly intelligent, curious, funny and super self-aware, just like anyone you would meet on the street."
