The story of Brother XII still fascinates and even frightens some people in and around Nanaimo.
He’s often called the Devil of De Courcy Island for good reason.
Brother XII prophesied about the coming apocalypse. But instead, his story would presage something different. He was a forerunner of the strange, new religions that would sweep over the western world.
