Not all cults gather in compounds or behind closed doors. Some form quietly, hidden in plain sight, built through screens, messages, and digital connection.

In this episode of Canadian Creepies, we examine the disturbing rise of an online network known as 764, exploring how internet spaces can be used to manipulate, isolate, and radicalize vulnerable people. What begins as community can slowly shift into control, secrecy, and harm, leaving lasting consequences for those pulled inside.

Through verified reporting and careful research, we look at how this group operated, why online environments can make exploitation easier to hide, and the broader questions this case raises about digital safety, influence, and accountability in an increasingly connected world.

This episode focuses on understanding the warning signs and the real-world impact behind the headlines, centering awareness rather than sensationalism.

Listener discretion is advised.

Surrounded by violent waters and sharp stone, Bird Rock earned a deadly reputation long before a lighthouse was built to protect passing ships. After countless wrecks, a beacon was finally raised, but the danger did not end there.

The lighthouse’s first keeper reportedly lost his sanity on the isolated island, warning as he was taken away that no keeper would ever remain on Bird Rock for ten years.

What followed was a chilling pattern. Keeper after keeper faced tragedy, including fatal accidents, devastating injuries, and lives cut short before reaching that ten year mark.

In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, Amanda explores the history of Bird Rock, the men who tried to keep its light burning, and the unsettling question of whether the island itself refused to let anyone stay.

In a profession built on trust, compassion is supposed to be the foundation.

Doulas are invited into some of the most vulnerable moments of people’s lives — offering support, reassurance, and care when families need it most. But what happens when that trust is carefully studied, copied… and exploited?

In this episode, we explore a disturbing case of deception that unfolded not through violence, but through emotional manipulation. Messages asking for help turned into relationships built on false identities, leaving a community questioning how well we truly know the people we connect with online.

This is a story about empathy, digital intimacy, and the danger that can exist when kindness becomes the doorway.

As always, we approach this case with care, centering the experiences of those affected and examining the larger questions it raises about trust in an increasingly online world.
