In March 1997, 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult were found dead in a mansion in San Diego, California. They had orchestrated a mass suicide, believing they would ascend to a higher existence aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. But how did a small spiritual group evolve into a doomsday cult willing to die for their beliefs? The hosts uncover the origins of the group, the influence of its enigmatic leaders Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, and the chilling events that led to their tragic end. Through expert analysis, archival audio, and survivor accounts, we explore the psychology of belief, the allure of apocalyptic prophecy, and the devastating consequences of absolute faith.Join us as we delve into one of the most infamous cults in modern history—and the questions that still haunt us today.MESSAGE US www.itscrypticoutthere@gmail.comListen to the podcast SPOTIFYAPPLE PODCASTSMarshall Applewhite's final exit video.https://youtu.be/wdGXDQ_8bSA?si=LoJswWLN9iPfjjWJSquare structure on Mars.https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/02/nasa-image-reveals-wild-square-structure-on-mars-elon-musk-backs-urgent-mission-to-investigate/

I denne ukens episode tar vi for oss saken om Heaven's Gate Cult, også kjent som selvmordskulten. Hva skjer egentlig når en mann tar seg retten til å opprette en ny form for trosretning, får en haug av tilhengere og til slutt tar dem med til det han mener er en fantastisk endestasjon, men som for oss utenfor kulten er helt ufattelig morbid og absurd? Det skal vi finne ut av i denne ukens episode.

The Outer Realm welcomes Researcher and Author Mindy Tautfest Date: September 26th, 2024 Episode: 479 Discussion: Mindy will be discussing her book " Dying to Meet Them: One Woman's Incredible Journey from N.D.E. to U.A.P. " to which she talks about her NDE experiences in "The Void". She goes on to discuss her healing and internal journey of spiritual growth, her investigation and research into correlations previously found between UFO and Near-Death Experiencers during the Omega Project while taking them a step further, and describing them in great detail based on her own personal experiences. You will NOT want to miss this eye opening segment. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Website: www.theouterrealmradio.com Please Support Us : Like, Subscribe, Share and Comment! Thank YOU!!!! About Our Guest: Mindy Tautfest is a published author, speaker, television personality, and the curator of the Hayden C. Hewes International UFO Bureau (IUFOB). Founded out of Oklahoma City in 1957, the IUFOB most famously investigated the Heaven's Gate Cult, the Aurora Texas Crash and Burial Site, and the massive 1965 UFO Flap over the central United States. Of great historical importance, President Jimmy Carter submitted the original, handwritten report of his 1969 UFO sighting to Hayden's bureau, and a copy of the IUFOB report now hangs in the Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta, GA. In 2023, Tautfest recovered the IUFOB files and has been working to digitize and preserve all documents from these incredible investigations. Using her investigations and experiences as a guide, Mindy brings new questions to the fields of Ufology and Near-Death studies. Could the Void be the location of an Absolute Source Reality? Are we living inside a cosmic hologram easily entered into by advanced entities? Can human consciousness transcend into other realms where these entities reside? What lessons can we take from the Void? How can the embodiment of nothing, affect our everything? About The Book While most Near-Death Experiencers return to this plane of existence with alluring tales of their time spent in the presence of the divine, what happens when one crosses the veil into the afterlife and Heaven refuses to answer? What existence truly lies beyond our own expectations? In this gripping true story, author, investigator, and aneurysm survivor Mindy Tautfest reveals the raw and unfettered details of her own chilling encounter in a place of isolating, utter darkness known as The Void. The wife of a Southern Baptist minister, her expectations of a joyous homecoming full of all-encompassing love were shattered when she was instead met with a devastating experience for which she could have never been prepared.

On March 26, 1997, a tip from a former member led police to a grizzly discovery: 39 decomposing bodies in a San Diego mansion. The Heaven's Gate massacre was the largest mass suicide that had ever taken place on US soil.SOURCESHeaven's Gate: America's UFO Religion; By Benjamin Zeller Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/autumn-s-oddities--5307439/support.

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religious cult based out of San Diego, California, founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles.  On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group, who had participated in a mass suicide in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following the Hale–Bopp comet. Just before the suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: "Hale-Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ... Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion – 'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level."    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://www.heavensgate.com/   https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/heavens-gate-cult-members-found-dead   https://academic.oup.com/jcmc/article/3/3/JCMC334/4584381   https://www.sdsheriff.gov/bureaus/media-relations/common-questions/heaven-s-gate-case   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(religious_group)   Heaven's Gate Cult Initiation Tape Part 1  

We pick up after Ti has died and Do shifts the group's focus with a slightly more religious view and a little less sci fi perspective. Though, they still very much prepare to "graduate" to the alien ship that they believe Ti will now send for them. In order to shed more of their humanity, many of the members make major physical sacrifices. The 1990's gave them a renewed hope that the computer age would both keep the income flowing and assist them in spreading their message to the masses. However, Do's videos met more ridicule than popularity. Still, they held on that their ship would come and believed that it had when reports of a UFO following the 1997 sighting of the comet Hale-Bopp. Unfortunately, their belief led to the largest mass suicide by willing participants in U.S. history. Tune in as Savannah shares the weirdly peaceful ending to the group and Elysia explains why she would likely never get caught up in a cult.

When Marshall "Herff" Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles met during a stint in the psych ward of their local hospital, the pair hit it off instantly. They decided to go on a spiritual journey together once released and left their lives behind. Influenced by a number of spiritual, religious and cultural practices, they came to the conclusion that they were to lead a group of people to Heaven. However, they viewed Heaven different than most. Traveling the west coast, they made strides in recruiting members to their group until a couple of curious sociologists infiltrated the group and made what they learned public. The group abruptly stopped recruiting and even made cuts to those already following. That's when things grew even stranger. Tune in as Savannah breaks down the beginning of this long running cult and the critical turning point that shaped its future. Meanwhile, Elysia strives to maintain composure though her head wants the implode. Don't forget to leave us your Heaven's Gate name or the weekly emoji for your Sunday shoutout!

In 1997, 39 members of a religious sect were found dead by suicide inside a San Diego mansion. Leaders Marshall “Herf” Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles promised that an extraterrestrial spacecraft would take them all to the heaven, or as they called it, “The Next Level”.

IN THIS EPISODE: Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased–21 women and 18 men of varying ages–were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven's Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. *** PLUS, the creepy true-crime story of two men who were caught trying to steal the body of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. But that is by no means the end of this story full of twists, turns, myths, and conspiracies.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Heavens Gate” by Rolling Stone: http://bit.ly/WeirdDarkness2D7tbeZ, Ranker: http://bit.ly/weirddarkness2UIsK4O, and History.com: http://bit.ly/WeirdDarkness2G3uqfN“Stealing Lincoln's Bones” by Troy Taylor: https://www.americanhauntingsink.com/stealing-lincolns-bonesWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Show Notes Episode 442: “Which Brings Us Back to DOH!”  Part One of Packing a Purple Shroud  This week Host Dave Bledsoe asks the bartender to float him one last drink because later he will be leaving to join a Mothership located near Uranus. (He was still giggling when the bouncer dragged him out.) On the show this week we turn back to 1997 when a group of religious enthusiasts made big news for their unorthodox travel plans! We are talking about Heaven's Gate! Along the way we discover that Dave once tried to join a Wiccan coven because he thought he would see chicks naked. (They turned him down because they had no desire to see Dave naked.) Then we meet Marshall Herff Applewhite, a gentle soul born in the wrong place and time, also the wrong planet.  We follow Herff on his journey toward enlightenment, by which we mean we watch him struggle with being gay.  Herff struggles would eventually lead him to his cosmic destiny in the form of a middle aged Registered Nurse who was into astrology and aliens. (Everyone has a soulmate.) Together the two would join together to become The Two, Bo and Peep and Ti and Do. (Yes, like the song.) When we are done you will have the backstory you need to understand (OK not understand, but be informed about) the origins of the Heaven's Gate Cult. Our Sponsor this week is The Temple of Dave Ascendant, we may not save your soul, but at least you get to keep your dick and balls.

Psycho's and Sociopath's Marshall Applewhite Heaven's Gate Cult

In 1987, San Diego police discovered the bodies of 37 people in a house. They all had matching haircuts, matching outfits, and infamously - matching Nike sneakers. These were the members of the Heaven's agate cult, and they had decided to ‘graduate' from their human forms, so they could ride the Hale-Bopp comet to Heaven. Led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles (also called ‘Ti and Do'), Heaven's Gate initially seemed like a bunch of of eccentric alien believers, until they orchestrated one of the most shocking mass suicides in modern history. (Unless you believe them, in which case, they just hitched a ride to Planet Heaven on a spaceship comet and lived happily ever after.) This episode deals with suicide and body mutilation so please take care while listening. If you want to talk to someone about it, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.

The deceased–21 women and 18 men of varying ages–were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven's Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. *** PLUS, the creepy true-crime story of two men who were caught trying to steal the body of the 16thPresident of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

Welcome to Talk'n Docs, the monthly podcast where we dive into the world of documentaries and review them for your listening pleasure. Hosted by Jennifer Smith, Logan Crosland and Cowboy Roger, the debut episode begins a season dedicated to exploring cults. Heaven's Gate: The Cult of Cults is an engaging and affecting documentary series told through the eyes of former members and their families. The panel discuss the cultists belief system and its foundation, the role popular culture played into their ideals and the sad conclusion to the story.

Join Steph and Drew as they discuss the Heaven's Gate Cult, which was founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite (Do) and Bonnie Nettles (Ti). What drove this religious group to commit mass suicide in March of 1997? We will explore their belief system and try to understand why the Hale-Bopp comet played a role in their demise.Cocktail recipe - The Mystic Charmer: https://brothersbondbourbon.com/recipes/mystic-charmer/Please note: This episode discusses suicide.

On episode 20 of Tru Crym Podcast, we discuss the wild case of The Heaven's Gate Cult. In 1997, the horrifying discovery in the upscale community of Rancho Santa Fe, California, stunned not only the community, but the world. The UFO sort of New Age Group had committed a mass suicide. They believed that a UFO was traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet and so they decided to leave their physical bodies behind to find life in an extraterrestrial “Kingdom of Heaven.” Sources:https://allthatsinteresting.com/heavens-gate-culthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Nettleshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(religious_group)http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1998/hgate.review/applewhite/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrdQNh6bNco&t=10shttps://youtu.be/zGeulqZ_6E4

Heaven's Gate was an American new religious movement (often described as a cult), founded in 1974 and led by Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985) and Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997), known within the movement as Ti and Do, respectively.

On March 26th, 1997, the largest suicide mass on US soil was unearthed in a prestigious neighborhood of San Diego, called Rancho Santa Fe, California. To the outside, it appeared to be a mass suicide, a horrible and unfortunate event. But to the 39 people inside, it was a commencement – a graduation that their leader, Marshall Herff Applewhite, had been preaching to them for years.

On the final part of Heaven's Gate, we discuss Heaven's Gate inception and the mass suicide that took place in 1997, resulting in 39 deaths. All members were wearing the same signature outfit of a long sleeved black shirt, black pants, and new black Nike tennis shoes. Their hair was cropped close, and their shirts had patches that read "Heavens' Gate Away Team." We learn how the bodies were found and what Heaven's Gate official stance on Suicide is. We discuss what some ex-members have to say and what the group is doing now.

Remember the headlines and scandals of the 90's? Katie's dives in on the 1997 headline of the Heaven's Gate Cult where 39 members wore matching Nike's (so 90's!) and drank poisonous applesauce, giving their lives in hopes that an alien spacecraft would come and take them to the Kingdom of Heaven. It was one of the first cults that used the internet to find new members, and led to the largest mass suicide on US soil in history!Heather tells the story of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt, married in 1989, whose relationship made headlines in 1993 when Lorena cut off John's wiener schnitzel with a knife while he was asleep in bed! John later went on to star in adult films!Grab your 90's bowl hair cut photos and let's go back to a time when it was the popular cult style, wearing matching Nike shoes with your friends really made a statement, and reattaching a male body part made headlines for months!Life. Was. Scandalous!
