19th Century Cult Ends In The Most Horrifying Way | Heinous History

In 1823, in a tiny small Swiss hamlet, something very dark and sinister was happening in the Peter’s home. Margaretta Peter was born into a fanatically religious family and at a very young age, she was considered to be the chosen one. By the age of just 6 years old, Margaretta was giving fiery, passionate sermons to her family and eventually to some of the locals, and she very quickly gained a following. But what started out as a small group of people who shared the same all consuming love for God, soon turned into something very disturbing. Margaretta Peter became the leader of a cult, and the bizarre and brutal downfall of that cult, would send shockwaves throughout Switzerland.
