Ep. 111 – The Leopard Society

For more than 150 years, a deadly black magic cult has driven fear into the hearts of the people living in Western Africa. Their members stalk the night, brutally mutilating and cannibalizing their remains for their secret rituals. The members of this cult believe they have the ability to transform themselves into the animals they worship and from which they take their name. This is the story of the Leopard Society.
