On March 26th, 1997, police entered a quiet mansion in an affluent suburb of San Diego after receiving an anonymous tip requesting a welfare check. When a lone deputy stepped through the side door of the 9,200 square foot home, he was hit with what he would later describe as a "pungent odor.”
A cursory search revealed 39 bodies laid out in identical rows—their faces were covered, but officers could see they were dressed uniformly, black tracksuits, brand nike sneakers, and arm patches that read “AWAY TEAM.”
The media called it a mass suicide.
But when the souls who once inhabited those bodies drank apple sauce and vodka laced with barbiturates, they did not believe they were dying… they believed they were boarding a spacecraft hidden behind the Hale–Bopp comet as it passed by earth.
Today on LGH, we’re diving into the dark history and the very real present of a cult called Heaven's Gate.
Because what most people don’t realize… is that Heaven’s Gate never actually ended.
