Hi and welcome once again to History Dweeps.

I am Tim.

Welcome to the podcast where we take a light-hearted look at the dark side of history.

And we've got a really strange topic today.

The topic is the mass suicide of Heaven's Gate. Of course, Heaven's Gate was a cult

back in the 1990s in which 39 people committed mass suicide. They were having a bad day,

Colonel. I haven't been introduced yet, so I can't tell it.

Thank you.

So we're going to talk about the Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles who were leading

this very strange UFO-based cult in California.

We'll talk about these whack jobs momentarily. Is that a little judgmental?

A little bit, but, you know. Okay. I mean, I, you know, because, you know, I'm sensitive when it comes.

We are nothing if not judgmental. I'm not judgmental when it comes to mental health. As I was

just saying before we started recording, it always amazes me when not that there's a lot of crazy

people in the world.

There's a lot of crazy people in the world.

It's just when they all get together and they can

have the same delusion. They have a common goal?

Yeah, that's always mystified me.

But anyway, we're going to

talk about this

kind of tragic event that occurred back in 1997.
