America’s most infamous name- jeffrey epsteina case that shook not only America but the politics, power circles and high-profile networks of the entire world. This story, which started with allegations of sexual exploitation of minor girls in the early 2000s, gradually turned into a global scandal and Epstein’s private island emerged as the scariest mystery of this entire matter.

Little Saint James Island, located in the Caribbean Sea, still remains a center of mystery, fear and conspiracies. There is now a debate going on from social media to investigating agencies regarding a strange building present on this island. Was it just a building or a door to another horrifying reality?

What is this mysterious building on Epstein’s private island?

This structure, located on Little Saint James Island, is a small square building painted blue and white. It is built on a higher part of the island, due to which it is clearly visible even in aerial photographs. It has often been called ‘Temple’ in media reports, although its official identity has never been revealed.

What was found inside the building?

According to photographs revealed in documents released by the US Justice Department, the interior of this building was in a dilapidated condition.

  • Open Cement Board Sheets
  • scattered pieces of wood
  • The ceiling was painted like a cloudy sky
  • Collages of animals, constellations and mythological creatures on the walls
  • Two white mattresses wrapped in yellowed covers near a large window in a corner
  • These pictures deepened the mystery.

Is this building being linked to ‘Moloch’?

It is being claimed in social media and some reports that this so-called temple was used for the worship of “Moloch”. Moloch is a god of the Canaanite civilization, associated with fear and sacrifice in historical and religious texts. In the Hebrew Bible it is to the sacrifice of children. In literature and modern pop culture it is often depicted as a bull-headed demonic deity. However, it is important to note that such images and stories are based on medieval interpretations and modern fiction, and not on any solid historical evidence.

How did the ‘Baal’ document instigate a new conspiracy?

A financial document revealed in the new Epstein Files added fuel to the fire. The document shows a wire transfer request for $11,438, with the bank name listed as Wachovia Bank, NA. A faint line appears across the top of the document, which many read as “Baal name.” After this the screenshots went viral on social media platform X. One user wrote that ‘Baal is a demonic entity who was worshiped in ancient Israel, in which children were sacrificed…’

Another post claimed that a bank account of Jeffrey Epstein was named ‘Baal’. In the Bible, Jeremiah strongly criticizes the Jews because they sacrificed children as part of an offering called ‘Molokh’ to please Baal.

Have investigating agencies confirmed these claims?

Till now no law enforcement agency has identified this building as a religious temple or any place of worship. Neither journalists, nor prosecutors, nor investigators have proved that any kind of worship, rituals or sacrifices were performed here. The building became a symbol of mystery after Epstein’s arrest in 2019 and his suspicious death in prison. When the US Justice Department released a new set of the Epstein Files in 2025, social media users began drawing bold conclusions by piecing together old photographs, documents and incomplete information.

What exactly should be understood from the Epstein Files?

Epstein’s crimes were real, horrific, and proven. He used to exploit minors by misusing his power and influence. But every mysterious building, every incomplete document and every name is not evidence of some evil conspiracy. When crimes are so horrific, humans look for equally big and scary explanations to understand them.
