Sects Occult or Cults Investigations

Sect, Occult, or Cult Investigations: There are few things that inspire more dread than cults and the occult. It's often very difficult to get information about the practices of such organizations, and this is even more worrying because such groups very often have abusive and criminal practices. The very word, occult, comes from the Latin for "hidden" and "concealed." But they won't stay that when you get ICS involved!



Sects Occult or Cults Investigations

It can be stressful and frightening if you are concerned that a loved one has joined a cult, religious sect, or has been dabbling in the occult.  All of these groups can be extremely damaging to an individual’s reputation, financial wellbeing, and mental health.  Do not hesitate to call ICS if you believe that a friend or family member has joined a cult.  Often, when people are recruited into a cult, they don’t realize that the group they are being recruited into is a cult or fanatical sect.  When this is the case, a private investigator from ICS can provide you with invaluable information to help show your loved one the true nature of the group they are considering joining.

Cults and extreme religious sects began to gain national media attention in the 1960’s and 1970’s, most notably at the time of Charles Manson.  Because of this media attention, cults have had to take severe measures to avoid unwanted coverage.  Be extremely suspicious if your family member or loved one has: 

  • Moved into a commune far removed from society
  • “Donated” all their money and possessions
  • Cut all ties with friends and family.

Cult members become so brainwashed that they fail to notice what is happening until months or years later, if ever.

ICS is one of the few private investigation agencies with investigators who have been specifically trained to deal with sects, cults, and the occult.  ICS has been involved in the investigation of several high profile cults, and our presence has remained completely confidential.  Private investigators from ICS are discreet, so you can feel confident when you hire ICS.  If you attempt to investigate a cult or religious sect on your own, you risk drawing attention to yourself, and potentially even placing your loved one in more immediate danger than they may already be in.  Let the experienced private investigators at ICS research the group before you decide to act on your own.

CULTS

Cults differ from religions in several ways.  Some key differences between a cult and a religion are:
  • Religion is open to everyone; cults are exclusive, by invitation only, and you may have to pay huge sums of money to join
  • Religion promotes sharing the word with friends and family; cults often attempt to cut members off from friends and family
  • Most religious practices are wide spread and generally accepted within the region of practice; cult beliefs are stricter and more obscure, and members outside the cult disagree with almost all cult behavior.

Cults and extremist sects often hold views and beliefs that are strongly rejected and opposed by anyone outside the group.  Some famous examples of extreme or unaccepted cult behaviors are polygamy, childhood marriage, suicide bombing, and mass suicides.

Fundamentalists in many religions across the world use concepts from their religions to justify murder, war, violence against women and children, and terrorism.  Leaders of cults and religious sects are often extremely charismatic, which is how they convince rational people to do irrational things.  Generally, founders and leaders of cults and sects are extremely mental ill, though it may be in a fashion that is not immediately recognizable, such as Narcissism, Megalomania, Delusions of Grandeur, Borderline Schizophrenia, and more. It is not a good idea to trust the leader of a cult; they may be extremely dangerous or irrational.

SECTS, OCCULT OR CULTS INVESTIGATIONS

If someone you care for is involved in a cult or you suspect a cult of operating in your area, contact ICS immediately.

ICS not only has agents who are specially trained to deal with cult investigations, ICS also backs our agents up with the latest in cutting edge technology. ICS uses various techniques to gather information, including stings and covert operations.

If you have a loved one involved in a suspicious organization or if you suspect there is a cult that is operating in the area you live in, do not wait to call us. Time can be of the essence when dealing with organizations like these. In some cases, waiting even a couple of days can be too long.

Contact ICS today if you believe that a loved one has joined a cult, or if you have strong evidence to believe that a cult, religious sect, or a faction of the occult is operating in your area.

I am interested in whether the Harvest church in Vacaville, Ca is a cult

I am concerned about a caregiver who has had access to our home and personal possessions over the last year. Many items have gone missing including recently a pair of beautiful black pearl earrings that were left on my bedside table. She denies taking these. though many of the other items have been seen at her neighbors house who are also cult members--seen by a non-member roommate of the caregiver. What can we do? Can we get our items back? What is this cult " the family"? very scary!
