Belcher Islands Massacre

In 1941, after a meteor shower, two members of a Canadian Inuit camp on the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay announced that they were Jesus and God. They gained followers, whom they convinced to kill their sled dogs (telling them people will soon be able to fly) and unbelievers. Around 9 people ended up losing their lives as a result of the community spread insanity.
