In this episode, Erika covers Edmund Creffield and the Holly Rollers. Edmund Creffield started the Brides of Christ church in the early 1990's. Creffield's congregation was largely women as over time he convinced his female followers to leave their husbands and devote themselves completely to him. The followers would ask God for forgiveness while they rolled around on the floor, which is how they got the name "Holly Rollers". Creffield went on to marry one of his young followers and selected another young follower to bear his child. This treatment of young women angered male family members which resulted in violence.

When the cruise pulled into port to the island of Curacao, Amy was nowhere to be found. The family searched the ship and the island and could not find her. Over the years there have been multiple sightings of Amy, but the family has still not been able to bring her home.Amy is 5 foot 6 inches tall with brown hair and green eyes.

On the morning of May 7, 1906, Franz Edmund Creffield and his wife Maud were walking down the street near 1st and Cherry in Seattle, Washington when a man stepped behind him, placed a 32 revolver to the back of neck and pulled the trigger. Edmund Creffield, aka Joshua the Second, aka Elijah, died instantly. The murderer, 23-year old George Mitchell, calmly stood next to his victim and lit a cigar while he waited for the Seattle police to show up. As the wheels of justice turned, George would be hailed a hero by the men in his hometown of Corvallis, Oregon for his crime. His salacious trial would whip up public sympathy leading a not guilty verdict. This is only one part of a completely bonkers historical case that includes murders, plural; women burning their corsets; men tarring and feathering another man; mass committals to insane asylums; suicides by strychnine, plural; and the lure of an enigmatic cult leader that may seem totally wacky, but isn’t all that different than similar cult cases we have seen in the news recently. Buckle up! It’s going to be a wild ride.Darklands is bi-weekly podcast available on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, and Podbean.

Franz Edmund Creffield was the leader of the Brides of Christ church. Often referred to as the Holy Rollers, members were known to roll on the floor pleading, for God’s forgiveness.
On this week's episode hosts Cassie and Daniel discuss how Cassie's mom is flattered to be mentioned on the podcast and is honored to be as famous as Kit. Daniel tells Cassie about his trip down to the national mall to take photos of the cherry blossoms blooming before a rainstorm. The hosts then give their thoughts on D.C. tourists who come in from cherry blossom season through the end of the summer. Cassie and Daniel pop the cork on two bottles of Petit Manseng, a wine most commonly found in Virginia. Cassie takes listeners to the pacific northwest for the case of Edmund Creffield and the holy rollers. Daniel sticks close to home and heads to Virginia for the brutal and upsetting case of Elton Manning Jackson.

Edmund Creffield was the second coming of Christ or at least that's what he told his followers in 1903. He would whip them into such a frenzy that they would roll for hours on the floor. They left their families. They burned their furniture. They annoyed their neighbors. What was Creffield's draw? Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly explore this odd cult from the west coast.
