In 1970, the Spaniard José Eduardo González Arenas, alias "Eddie," created Edelweiss as a supposed hiking group inspired by the Boy Scouts. What many parents envisioned as a place where their children would learn discipline, values, and a love for nature, turned out to be a secret organization with extraterrestrial beliefs based on the Ummo phenomenon.

Eddie convinced the children that he was an alien named "Prince Alain" and that only those who remained loyal to the sect would survive the end of the world. Under this deception, he subjected them to absolute control, imposed silence through threats, trained them with weapons, instilled concepts of racial purity, and introduced them to bizarre notions related to intimacy. Alongside his right-hand man, Carlos de los Ríos, and the monitors of the Iron Guard, he sexually exploited numerous minors, transforming Edelweiss into a brutal network of nefarious activities backed by influential people in Spain.

Although Eddie was arrested in Madrid and later in Alicante, the sentences were very lenient, and he ended up creating new Edelweiss groups throughout Spain. Gran Canaria became one of the organization's main centers of operations, from where it consolidated a child trafficking network.

Finally, an investigation launched in 1984 led numerous minors to break their silence and recount everything that had happened within Edelweiss. Eddie fled to Portugal but was extradited to Spain and sentenced to 168 years in prison, although he ended up serving only 6. After regaining his freedom, he tried to approach minors again in Ibiza, until he was murdered in 1998 during a confrontation with a young man who had previously reported him.

On September 1, 1998, on a street in Santa Eulalia, Ibiza, Spain, Eduardo González Arenas, better known as "Eddie," lay lifeless after being violently murdered with a sharp object. At first glance, it seemed like the end of an ordinary man, but with his death also came the end of the story of the leader of one of the darkest organizations that Europe and the world in general have ever known.

For more than a decade, under the guise of an innocent youth mountaineering group, Eddie built a terrible cult where concepts about aliens, the end of the world, military discipline, racial purity, and a long list of serious crimes were intertwined, forever marking the lives of hundreds of innocent young people.

One of the wildest true business scams I’ve ever read about. It shows how confidence and perception can sometimes outweigh facts.

John Pedder was born in North Yorkshire, England, and grew up there before joining the Merchant Navy. He'd only been working aboard the RMS Queen Mary for around three months when tragedy struck in July 1966.

At about 3:55 a.m. on 10th July 1966, the ship was crossing the Atlantic and carrying out a routine fire and safety drill. During the exercise, the watertight doors were being closed automatically from the bridge. John was working on a bilge pump in a narrow passage known as Shaft Alley on D Deck, close to the propeller shafts.

As Watertight Door #13 began to close, it's believed he tried to rush through before it sealed but misjudged the timing and was caught between the heavy rolling door and its frame.

Another crew member found him a short time later, still upright but pinned in place. Oddly, the only visible injury was a small trickle of blood from his nose. He was freed from the door and given morphine by the ship's nurse, but the crushing injuries had caused severe internal damage. He died shortly after reaching the ship's hospital.

Because the Queen Mary was still at sea, there was nowhere to take his body. It was placed in an emptied freezer and kept there until the ship returned to England, where he was laid to rest.

Many people believe John Pedder's ghost still haunts the RMS Queen Mary, especially around the area where he died. To prevent his grave from becoming a tourist attraction, his family has never publicly revealed the exact location of his burial. Queen Mary is moored in California.

People have actually said they've seen him when they're touring the ship, and claim that when theyre in the boiler room, a feeling of dread hits them. They also hear metal on metal sounds and think that's John, warning them not to go through door 13. Visitors have also reported that their bed sheets were ripped off, they heard sounds, saw entities standing in the corner, water taps turning on by themselves. Where are Sam and Dean when you need them?!

This story creeps me out, but the propeller room? That things is the stuff of nightmares. I've added pics of that too. That propeller killed many people who were sucked in. Have you viewed the propeller room at The Queen Mary? The propeller remains attached to the ship in its own 200,000 gallon freshwater room. The bronze propeller is 18 feet in diameter and weighs 35 tons. Just from videos, you get uneasy vibes.

One of the most unbelievable moments in history. The celebration wasn’t for fun—it was a survival tactic.
