Welcome to the twelth edition of CULT WEEK! This is the week where we tell you about the worst cults we can think of – so get ready to have your entire day ruined!

This week, we’re talking Raelism and Colonia Dignidad – and, one of these cults is NOT like the others, in that one is a fun sex cult where no one gets hurt and the other is a terrible Nazi cult where everyone is beaten and not allowed to talk to one another. So, this is going to be a great time.

Dreia is first up this week and she’s going to tell us all about Claude (aka Raal), who is the founder of Raelism. Once, Claude climbed a volcano and was abducted by benevolent aliens. After he was probed, they told him that they had impregnated the Earth (gross) with humans and that he now gets to have all the secrets of life and stuff. He then formed a cult that is obsessed with cloning people (not sheep) and having sex. It’s a ton of fun.

What is NOT fun, is Colonia Dignidad. Maggie will tell you all about how former Nazi (but not really former) Paul Schaefer started a colony in Chile that ended up being a super terrifying cult and a prison camp for political dissenters during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Schaefer controlled every aspect of his followers’ lives and also molested a bunch of kids, so he sounds like a peach.
