The untouchables are getting rather a bad rap of late. Not only have they been seen as trying to get Donald Trump elected they also have spent two years investigating a made-up anti-Goth cult.

According to Muck Rock, the FBI spent two years chasing down leaders of “God Hates Goths” church before realising the whole thing was made up.

In December 2005, the FBI opened a file on as religious extremist group the “Church of the Hammer.” Named after the infamous treaty on witchcraft and allegedly founded by a protégée of Westboro Baptists’ Fred Phelps, the group called for violent retribution on those in defiance of God’s will.
