The so-called cults in this area is absolute BS. We have a few religious fractions down here (Hare Krishnas, Pagans, Wiccans, Ancient Alien Nuts), and you can consider a few of them somewhat cult-like, but it's certainly not groups that mysteriously wander around Puna and do sacrifices or anything. They're mostly just scattered groups of crazy hippies that went off the cliff of spirituality. Worst thing they'll do is serve you a vegetarian pizza or bore you with religious nonsense. People that get killed in Kalapana get killed over money/drugs/territory
