Weird News: Czech Cannibal Cult Surfaces!
Sunday, June 22, 2008
It's ghoulish to imagine the grim reality of this news, but it is of interest here nonetheless. The Czech Republic is suffering the throes of discovery: a cannibal cult which slowly consumed a child over a period of months for some unstated religious purpose. Though gruesome, it's disappointing none of the mainstream news articles ever really elaborate on the bizarre beliefs of these sort of cults. Of course, the horrid truth will surely surface down the road in articles and books from academia. These outlandish religious sects always generate a stir when they appear, perhaps because they're the closest things the world has to genuinely evil cults imagined in horror.
