Originally started in the late 40s, the Grail Movement was established by the followers of Oskar Ernst Bernhardt, also known as Abd-ru-shin. Their core belief follows the principles of his book “In the Light: The Grail Message”, and currently, there are over 10,000 members.

IN 1997 acting on an anonymous tip, police entered a hilltop mansion in California and found 39 dead people inside. This was the case that shaped people’s notion of modern day doomsday cults – The Heaven’s Gate.
