The Perverse Cult of Anorexia (The Cult of Gwen Shamblin)

On May 29, 2021, a private plane crashed into the waters of Percy Priest Lake in Tennessee, USA, killing all seven occupants. Among them was Gwen Shamblin, an exotic woman who had built a massive religious movement around her unique teachings about God, food, and excessive weight loss. For thousands, Gwen was a spiritual guide. For her detractors and former members of the organization, she was the leader of a dangerous cult that exerted extreme control over the lives of its followers.

But how did a dietician end up becoming the head of one of the most controversial churches in the United States? And, above all, what was behind that strange cult that mixed religion, an obsession with thinness, and absolute obedience?

The Brutal Satanic and Cannibalistic Cult of the Italian Devil (Matteo Valdambrini)

In 2016, when 19-year-old Italian Matteo Valdambrini was studying economics at university, he began gathering a group of vulnerable, depressed people. He told them he possessed supernatural powers and had chosen them to save the world from evil. Matteo called himself "The Devil," and his teachings were apparently related to Satanism. The rituals he proposed to his followers took place in forests and abandoned buildings in the Tuscany region.

The rites were, in reality, acts of torture, vampirism, and psychological violence. In late 2018, Valdambrini met with his followers, brought a piece of fresh meat, and forced them all to eat it. He later confessed that it was human flesh, which he had supposedly bought from a man who sold body parts in Florence.

Subsequently, the leader forced his devotees to send him explicit photos of themselves. Over time, some women in the cult were forced into sexual relations with him through extortion. The sect was exposed when the mother of two followers reported Valdambrini to the Italian authorities. Ultimately, the authorities compiled at least 12 reports of forced sexual relations or coercion perpetrated by Valdambrini. Among the complainants were two minors who were also members of the cult.

Valdambrini was arrested in the midst of the global pandemic, and among his belongings, police officers discovered strange items such as salt, artificial blood, and a voodoo doll. After a lengthy trial and several appeals, in 2024 Matteo was sentenced to 5 years and 8 months in prison. He is currently serving his sentence.

The Most Disturbing Cults in Argentina (3 Brutal Cases)

The Cult of Maestro Amor: Ricardo Javier Ocampo, known as "Master Love," began attracting followers through spirituality, yoga, meditation, and Eastern practices. In the province of La Rioja, he persuaded families to hand over their sons, supposedly to make them his closest devotees, but ended up abusing several minors. In 2001, he founded Meditazen in Catamarca, a community that grew to approximately 200 members. His devotees were required to kiss his feet, bathe him, and even ask his permission to use the bathroom. In 2014, Ocampo was sentenced to 14 years in prison for abusing minors in his community.

The Cult of Maestro Mehir: Mario Darío Indij, known as Master Mehir, created a doctrine that blended many religious beliefs. He recruited young people who were required to confess their traumas and experiences to him, information that was then used to control them. Followers paid dues, received fines, and worked without pay in Mehir's businesses, located in the province of Córdoba. Mehir had a deep contempt for women, whom he frequently called "witches." He claimed to be the only one capable of purifying them through unprotected sex. Many believe he died while being pursued by the authorities.

The Abba Krishna cult: Aldo Ferrarotti created Abba Krishna, a cult that blended elements of Hinduism and Christianity, and was based in the La Matanza district. Over time, this syncretism became a tool for manipulation and consolidating a sect. Aldo recruited vulnerable people and used information about their emotional state to exploit them. A minor was convinced that she was a young woman chosen by Jesus and Krishna and subsequently suffered abuse under supposed spiritual rituals. In 2021, the Argentine Federal Police raided the sect's properties and Aldo was arrested.

The Cult Behind the Sewol Ferry Tragedy (The Salvation Cult of South Korea)

The Sewol ferry tragedy occurred on April 16, 2014, as the vessel was en route to Jeju Island in South Korea. A total of 476 people were on board when, at 8:48 a.m., passengers felt a sudden jolt, followed by a sharp turn to the right. From that moment, the ship began to sink rapidly. Ultimately, of the 476 people on board, only 172 survived. In total, 304 people died in this brutal tragedy.

The investigation into the incident led authorities to the so-called "Salvation Cult of South Korea" and its leader, the millionaire Yoo Byung-eun. His embrace of Christianity began in the early 1960s, when he founded the aforementioned cult. But Yoo didn't remain solely focused on religion; he also managed to build a vast business empire. It eventually expanded into sectors such as shipbuilding, maritime transport, real estate, cosmetics, electronics, paints, and other businesses. This is how Yoo went from being a cult preacher to becoming a powerful businessman.

When the Sewol ferry sank, taking the lives of 304 people, the investigations focused on Chonghaejin Marine, the company that operated the ferry. Yoo had been the president of that company, but had apparently left his position in 1997. Despite this, the company was controlled by his children, and he continued to make important decisions behind the scenes. This is how Yoo approved modifications and expansions to the ferry, without regard for passenger safety.

On June 12, 2014, while still being sought by authorities, Yoo Byung-Eun was found dead at the age of 73. The exact cause of his death was never determined. To this day, the Salvation Church remains active in South Korea.

The Deadly Tibetan Buddhist Cult of Geshe Michael Roach (The Death of Ian Thorson) Deranged Devotion

By 1997, the Buddhist teacher Michael Roach had amassed a following, the vast majority of whom were young women willing to treat him as a god. His teachings were compiled in a pamphlet containing 147 vows that his followers were required to recite six times a day for two years. Among the group's members was the young millionaire Ian Thorson.

Within the group, Michael Roach had intimate relationships with women, dressed in drag at the parties he hosted, drank alcohol, and had even married a young devotee named Christie McNally. Michael justified the marriage by claiming that she was not just an ordinary woman, but the incarnation of a powerful goddess.

By February 2012, Christie had divorced Roach and married Ian Thorson. The new couple organized a three-year spiritual retreat with Michael's blessing, but the situation became untenable under Christie's leadership, and soon after, she and her new husband were expelled from the retreat. Ian and Christie didn't want to abruptly end the three-year retreat, so they decided to camp in a cave near the retreat complex, located in a desert area of ​​Arizona. There they endured freezing temperatures, and when the ice melted, they didn't hesitate to drink the water.

On April 22, 2012, Arizona authorities received a call reporting an incident at the cult complex. When they arrived at the nearby cave, they found Christie attempting to use her supposed goddess powers to resurrect Ian. The police investigation ultimately revealed that Ian and Christie had drunk water contaminated with bacteria, and tragically, Ian died. No charges were filed against Christie, and Geshe Michael Roach continues his career as a spiritual teacher.

On April 22, 2012, an emergency call led Arizona state authorities to a remote cave in the middle of the desert. After traversing that inhospitable place, the officers found a scene difficult to comprehend. A completely devastated woman, with a very high fever and practically at the end of her strength, was trying to resuscitate her husband.

But that scene was only the end of a story that had begun many years earlier, when young Ian Thorson, who was searching for spiritual answers, met a Buddhist master who would end up exerting a huge influence on his life.

The Brutal Cult of Female Orgasm (One Taste) The Cult of Nicole Daedone

In 2004, American Nicole Daedone founded the company OneTaste and began teaching about female orgasm and spirituality, using a method she called "orgasmic meditation." While OneTaste was a real and legally established company, its employees and clients lived in a network of physical centers and residential communities where they explored their sexuality and practically worshipped Nicole.

Little by little, the situation became extremely murky. The company's employees began to be indoctrinated to be very seductive in order to attract new course buyers. Furthermore, a significant variation of the supposed meditation was offered: sexual massages for men. Nicole also frequently verbally and physically humiliated her employees, followers, and clients. Completely submissive, they accepted everything she told them under the pretext that it would help shape their personalities.

In 2018, a media outlet exposed OneTaste. They gathered information from former employees and accused the organization of cult-like practices and a pyramid scheme. The employees, who at that time numbered approximately 150 and still lived communally, were forced to work on commission seven days a week and to engage in sexual encounters with each other to resolve work-related issues. These same workers were also forced to take courses, leaving them heavily indebted and essentially working for Deadone for free.

In June 2023, Nicole Deadone was charged with forced labor. She posted $1 million bail and was released, but on June 9, 2025, after a five-week federal trial, a jury found her guilty and she was sentenced to nine years in federal prison.
