Show notes

In the 1940s, Candy Jones was a successful model and performed in the South Pacific with the USO in a show that had been written for her. In the 1970s, she married New York midnight radio host Long John Nebel. When she had trouble sleeping, he volunteered to help her by trying out hypnosis. While hypnotized, Jones began to tell an incredible story of being mind controlled by a doctor in Oakland, California and performing covert operations, possibly for the CIA.

13.5: Michelle Remembers a Satanic Cult Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

In 1980, Michelle Smith and her psychiatrist, Lawrence Pazder, published a book that would shape the culture of the decade to come, lasting into the 1990s. Billed as “the true story of a year-long contest between innocence and Evil,” the book recounted lurid memories of abuse that Michelle had recovered in therapy with Dr. Pazder. Going into a trance-like state, Smith discovered that she had been the victim of systematic abuse at the hands of a satanic group in Victoria, Canada. After bringing her to an orgy, her mother gave her away to the cult. The cult tortured her in an open grave, forced her to live in a cage, slaughtered kittens and mutilated dead infants in her presence. If all of this seems to be too much to accept that’s because there’s a very strong argument to be made that, while Smith and Pazder may have believed every word of Smith’s tale, most if not all of it had been imagined.

13.3: The Manson Myth Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

In 1972, Ed Sanders published one of the earliest investigative accounts of the Manson family in his book "The Family." Sanders argued that the Manson family's murders were part of a pattern of ritual evil that Manson learned from the Process Church of the Final Judgement as well as the Solar Temple of the O. T. O. Both groups successfully sued to have their names removed from subsequent printings of the book. In this episode, we explore the myth that Charles Manson was a New Age Satanist.
