*This is Part 2 so if you haven't listened to Part 1 yet please go back and listen to that first! It's a wild adventure and you won't regret it!*
The year is 1974, and a strange new form of belief is just starting to find its grip in the minds of a few ill-fated souls. A belief system indeed that would lead to one of the worst mass suicides to take place on American soil. How did a supposed biblical prophecy lead to a religion that included aliens, spaceships, and telepathy gain followers, and, how did it end in such tragedy?
I invite you dear listener to sit back, relax and spiral in with me as we explore the death cult that was Heaven's Gate.
