Episode 78 | THE 'CHOSEN BY GOD' CULT MU...

Peter von Gomm
About this episode

In 2012  the sleepy mining town of Krugersdorp, South Africa  was put on the map when a murderous satanic cult went on a revenge-seeking killing spree. The murderers had pledged an allegiance to a woman by the name of Cecelia Steyn, the self-proclaimed 'Bride of Satan' and 42nd generational witch. It's a really unbelievable story, the type of which simply can't be made up! In the end 11 innocents lost their lives in horrific ways, largely in the name of getting money to fund their leader's lifestyle. This story is also a popular documentary called 'Devilsdorp'.  ★Enjoy!
