It is Kool-aid time again, Weirdos!
In this gripping episode, we delve into the enigmatic and tragic story of the Heaven's Gate cult, a group that believed in leaving Earth behind to ascend to a higher existence.
We explore the origins of this UFO religion, its charismatic leaders Marshall Applewhite and BonnieNettles, and the path that led 39 followers to take their own lives in 1997, believing they would board an extraterrestrial spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
Join us as we journey through one of the most bizarre and haunting chapters in modern cult history, uncovering the powerful blend of technology, faith, and fear that ultimately led to a tragic end.
