Join Idahistory's Mark Iverson as he shares another crazy story from Idaho's past. For this month's presentation Mark will share a story involving a cult started right here in Boise, Idaho.

In 1933 a spiritualist named Marie Ogden came to Boise to meet her followers, the one's she acquired over several years using long distant mail sent to Boise from her home in New Jersey. She was ready in 1933 to gather her followers around her and move to her commune, some called it a cult, to San Juan County, Utah to the Home of Truth, Marie's sanctuary to wait for the end of days. One of her followers, Edith, had stage four cervical cancer and she was told she could be cured at the Home of Truth. She would leave a mummy.
