Episode 119: The Sharon Tate Tragedy Part II: The Manson Family
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Crypts and Corks, we pour a glass and dive into one of the most chilling and infamous crime stories of the 20th century: the life and crimes of Charles Manson. More than just a murderer, Manson was a manipulator who built a devoted following known as the “Manson Family,” steering them toward a series of brutal killings that shocked the world in 1969.
We explore how Manson rose from a troubled childhood and years in prison to become a charismatic cult leader, the ideology he used to control his followers, and how the murders—most notably the killing of actress Sharon Tate and others in Los Angeles—ignited nationwide fear and forever changed the cultural landscape of the 60s and how it reverberates to today.
