Most bizarre cult ever

[Zuni]

from Chuck Sheperd's News Of the Weird

In 1990, News of the Weird reported on a World War II "cargo cult" on Tanna, one of the 83 islands comprising the republic of Vanuatu (located between Papua New Guinea and Fiji). (Such cults are known for regarding as magical the food and supplies that Americans brought to military staging areas on the islands, and they continued to pray for more "cargo" for decades after Americans left.) In May, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald, violence broke out on Tanna when Christian breakaways, calling the cargo business nonsense, fought with supporters of "John Frum," the iconic American whom the cultists worship. About 25 people were hospitalized, according to police dispatched from Vanuatu's capital of Vila.
