Speaker 1: I know we all want love that happily ever after
Speaker 1: feeling of finding your soulmate. But what if someone not
Speaker 1: only claimed they could help you find that perfect partner,
Speaker 1: but they could guarantee it. Jeff and Shealia, a young
Speaker 1: couple famous on YouTube, teach about twin flames, a deep
Speaker 1: romantic connection with your perfect ultimate partner. In their videos,
Speaker 1: it's divine love. You're design for no one else, and
Speaker 1: they're designed for no one else. But the path to
Speaker 1: finding your twin flame is not so simple. Those who
Speaker 1: start to doubt the group are instructed to cut ties
Speaker 1: with friends and family that are holding them back and
Speaker 1: to corner and claim their twin flame through stalking and intimidation.
Speaker 1: By the time some members are able to leave the group,
Speaker 1: they don't even recognize themselves, and the harassment to rejoin
Speaker 1: makes them fear for their safety from wondering. Twin Flames
Speaker 1: is a podcast about what happens when the quest for
Speaker 1: love turns into a dangerous obsession.

Speaker 4: and it was such an interesting experience because everybody was
Speaker 4: so awkward.
Speaker 3: People gathered in groups, some fumbled through small talk, others
Speaker 3: stared at their phones.
Speaker 4: Or you'd see the occasional one person standing there just
Speaker 4: kind of looking around and smiling, not really knowing what
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, this is weird. But then
Speaker 2: the atmosphere changed.
Speaker 4: It was time, so everybody wanted to sit up front,
Speaker 4: so it was kind of like, oh, we gotta, you know,
Speaker 4: grab the best seats we can.
Speaker 3: All eyes turned to the entrance. People craned and stretched.
Speaker 2: Desperate to see the doors open, and a young couple
Speaker 2: walked in.
Speaker 4: They walk up the aisle and they walked in stage,
Speaker 4: and everybody's cheering and just standing and clapping and crying.
Speaker 4: I was just like, oh, my eyes, just like I
Speaker 4: had chills.

Speaker 3: early thirties. His wavy brown hair was shoulder length. He
Speaker 3: wore designer ripped teens and a suit jacket. The woman
