Several of the photos are the Back Ranch house where my cousin and I bought sears roebuck tires/ammo/lids etc... in 1969. Charley bought stuff on the parents charge cards then resold for cash. I was friendly with Cappy Gillis. My cousin Rod Beebe was working nights at the post office and got busted moving weed.in early 1968. We lived at Indian Acres development across the street,kinda. It was a development built in 1965. The Family wasn't the best crooks. Manson was a 20 watt bulb that burned bright. I'm 72 now.
@@johnnynobuddy1 Thanks Johnny. Are you living in Chatsworth/Simi? That development was fairly new then. The family used our laundromat. We'd use the payphone at Spahn. My granddaughter interviewed me for a school paper from the time I lived in Simi Hills.
@Frank Lopez Very true. Check out Stoner van Houten, aka Spahn Ranch worker 2.0.who broadcasts daily from Sacramento about all things from the Manson era.
I'm with you, Leighann.....forget what these idiots said prior to me. Let THEM get it on with somebody like those gals in Manson's crew. This'll just show you what daily, afternoon and nightly doses of acid and all kinds of drugs will do to a person, who already has no mind or respect....perhaps even hate of God.
Tex Watsons goofy mugshot was NOT from the raid he was in death valley at barkers/meyer hiding out w/ juanita wildebush. The mug was his belladonna root excursion into town.
@@wimvanaerde6249 Close. He took Belladonna, became completely out of his mind, and proceeded to crawl along the ground in front of some children. He was arrested for public intoxication or something like that. Messed up stuff!
@@amina-pr8xt The hippie movement wasn't organic. All of those "anti-war" musicians of Laurel Canyon had deep family ties to the military, which they never denounced. Funny how none of them got drafted, huh? Not one. But what they did was turn the typical war protester into a dirty criminal looking bum from a clean cut college kid that your average American could relate to. They whole thing was a psy op.
I've just stumbled onto this after recently reading the Paul Watkins book. Where does one acquire photos like that? They're really interesting. Thanks for sharing these.
@@bertmustin More like maybe now Wilson from the beach boys can feel safe again like wtf record my song thinkin that was the furthest from his mind when they were putting tha steel around his nuts again mate.
I thought I'd seen all the photos! At first I thought it was nothing new, but I was wrong. Amazing collection! What other rare photos do you have? Thank you so much for sharing these rare, important images of history!
Well it's called living for free?..No jobs apart from horse n pony rides, sexual favours & theft, then pissed about only having the little they had FOR FREE DECIDED TO TAKE IT OUT ON PEOPLE WHO WORKED HARD TO MAKE A NICE LIFE FOR THEMSELVES LIKE ROMAN & SHARON,🙏 GIBBY🙏 ( WHO GAVE MORE FOR KNOTHING THAN ANY OF HER KILLERS,) HER PARTNER ,🙏JAY, 🙏STEPHAN PARENT 🙏 NOT SURE ABOUT ,BUT HE HAD WORKED . THE LABIANCAS .WHO WORKED HARD ALSO..,,🙏🙏. BUTCHERING THEM AS THEY WERE DECENT PEOPLE..😢
What I don't understand is law enforcement and other agencies knew about them why did they wait so long to take action. Example they kept releasing Charles Manson if they kept him in jail all of that most likely would of never had happened. Just like in today's times they don't take action on a lot of things the system is corrupted.
@@myrthedejong130 The police could have had Manson arrested for having underage girl's who in turn had used various aliases from prior arrests. Drug's such as LSD, Mescaline,and even Marijuana which was was illegal and the user could face a good stretch of prison time even for small amounts were on the ranch. Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys didn't have a backbone to charge the family with car theft,vandalism, stealing thousands and thousands of dollars in cash and other items. Yes, I know Dennis did initially invited some family members to his house but more and more people showed up and started taking advantage of him because of his rock star status and money. Manson also had violated his parole by having gun's in his possession, associating with known felon's (Danny Decarlo of the Straight Satan motorcycle group). The black bus that Manson was driving when he picked up alot of the girl's most likely was stolen along with the fact he didn't have a valid driver's license. I think the list I provided gives a good explanation as to why Charles Manson and his family should have been arrested many times before the murders.
I’m sure Manson and they family just seemed like someone they would get for stolen vehicles and lots of drugs but never anticipated a murder like they committed. Hippies and murder just didn't go together
Voce é pouco entendido no caso do Charles Manson. Só deve ter ouvido falar do cara agora á pouco tempo. Eu sei da vida desse monstro á mais de 50 anos. Ele desde muito novo já roubava e até estuprava colegas, foi para vários refomatórios depois prisoês na faz adulta, mas nunca por matar, mas sim por fazer muita coisa errada. Claro que foi condenado a muitos anos de cadeia, mas entrava saía, pois sempre que saía fazia asneira e voltava mais uns tempos. Só foi realmente condenado a prisão perpétua onde morreu na cadeia, por que teve implicação direta nos assassinatos da atriz e seus amigos na tal casa , onde ela morava. Ninguém pode prender para toda a vida alguém, quando esse alguém faz asneiras, que são condenadas pela lei, mas não pode ser eternamente. A lei atuou bem quando teve provas dos seus atos de manipulador. Se ele fosse brasileiro seria um heroi e passado pouco tempo estava nas ruas-en função da lei brasileira que aprecia muito os matadores.
Police actually arrested Manson and the others then for stolen vehicles. They didn't know that they're the one's who murdered Tate-labianca. Susan Atkins bragged about the killings in prison leading to the discovery. They're probably free to this day if Susan Atkins didn't bragged 😂😂😂
The arrest is not at the ranch , arresting pics took place in Death Valley,CA where they were hiding out. dune toys were found at Death Valley as well.
You are so wrong. There was a major arrest at the Spahn Ranch. Some 20 people were arrested but all were released because the date on the search warrant didn't jive with the actual arrest date, so the judge turned everyone e of them loose. Then they all scattered, some went to Baker ranch, others fled to different states. Tex Watson high tailed it to TexS, and Patricia Krenwinkle took off for Mississipi, or Alabama, not sure of where she went, but she fled and hid out with some relatives.
Some of those girls weren't bad looking. I can see how a guy would have been attracted to the place. Sex, drugs, freedom to do whatever. These pictures were great. Ive never seen most of them
Yes, By all means take a dive into the deep end of that viral cesspool. Most of them were fairly stanky. Plenty of prettier girls down in the valley. And less diseased.
Can u imagine if only the cops would have known wat they really did a few weeks back from heir as they would have been really thrown onto the ground n treated like the low-down mongrels' that they had turned into.. like wat boggles the mind is how can someone go from love child flower person to out n out devil murdering's maniac pmsl eh.. 'well it tells me that they were not the loving people they portrayed they were right from the beginning bc u cant go from being a really nice caring n loving person to a blood curding maniac murderer especially not in a few months lol it just doesn't happen n ppl r not build like that as its ether one or the other. period ! 'anyway great pictures mate eh as iv never seen them ether bro.
In 1967 Tex Watson moved from Texas to California. In 1968 Tex, driving in an ancient 1935 Dodge pickup truck, picked up Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson hitchhiking on Sunset Boulevard after both his Rolls Royce and his Ferrari had been wrecked. Tex drove to Dennis' mansion and Dennis invited Tex in. That's were Tex Watson met Charlie Manson. In the book Manson in His Own Words, Charlie said, "It seems a little absurd that Dennis Wilson would be hitchhiking. But Dennis was kind of a rebel. So, as it happened, both his cars were laid up, and he was thumbing it home. After that, we saw a lot of Watson. Watson showed up at the ranch, broke and hungry, with nowhere else to turn."
@@rexterrocks Yeah, I have Tex's book and the book Manson in His Own Words because I was interested it what they had to say for themselves, I don't have the Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter book because it seems all Bugliosi does is vilify Sadie and Charlie, etc. as evil monsters, Bugliosi claimed little Sadie stabbed Sharon Tate to death, yet Tex admitted that it was he that stabbed Sharon Tate to death and all Sadie did was sit and try to hold Sharon's arms like Tex told her to do, Bugliosi claimed Manson had evil witchy superpowers to stop Bugliosi's watch by staring at him, absurd shit like that.
@@StevieStitches I agree with you concerning the fact that Sadie didn't stab Sharon. As for Bugliosi's book, I think it's a fascinating read, well worth the time. Even though he vilifies Sadie in it, and misunderstands what she did and didn't do (based on her own lies/exaggerations while in Sybil Brand), he certainly had reason to do so with both her (as she herself admits), and especially Charlie. What they all did was truly horrific.
@@buriedverydeep i think you're correct . the house can be seen in the movie "linda and abilene" and the windows are clearly the same . possibly the "old ranch house" on tex watson map .
@@xLiLtEmPeR she then talked about the Tate killings to her cell mates in prison eventually one of them reported it to the authorities and thus the dramatic break in the case that lead to the arrest of Manson and 3 others
I am surprised at the condition of these people. In interviews, I hear them talk about “pretty girls”…that’s what enticed others to join…all the “pretty girls”. I’m looking at unwashed hair, facial breakouts, filthy clothing. I am not seeing what I thought I would see in their faces.
It was different times back then! Beauty was judged differently & that was also when they were deep into LSD & other substances so they lost their focus on looking their best!
@@brandonJThornton well I was alive back then and I dunno if I agree totally. Pretty girls wore short skirts, or long leather strands, braids in the front or hair pulled back with symmetrical facial features. Girls like Susan Dey from Partridge Family. These girls all look a hot mess.
Most of them did not kill and eventually became ordinary law abiding citizens. There was nothing remarkable about most of them. Most "respectable' people have quite a wide circle of friends and associates and these often include criminals or people on the fringe of the criminal world.
So this was pre or post murders? I know there was an arrest for stolen cars etc. And off topic, other than mammons alleged son and Mary brunners do we know what became of the other children. I know Bugliosi claimed they they were given lsd and sexually assaulted
Nah. Bugliosi was a drama queen. He said all sorts of untrue shit because he wanted to scare the hell out of the general public. The kids weren't abused. Sadie's son was adopted and completely disappeared. Maybe adoptive parents never told him the absolute truth.
Manson's mug shot says 5'7", which he was. The famous shot of him against the ruler showing 5'1" is incorrect, because if you project the rest of the ruler to the ground, it start at least at negative 6 inches. So he was the low end of average, and he slouched over, so people tended to notice he was slightly short, but not 5'1" which would be abnormally short. Wikipedia of course lies about this.
He was definitely not 5'7". He was approx 5'3". There are numerous accounts of his height in booking reports, etc. and you can see by comparisons in various photographs that he was very short ie nowhere near 5'7"
I've heard several people who knew Manson comment that he was just over 5ft tall, but I just checked wiki and it said 5'6". Even his actual height is a mystery.
@@SL-vi4tk No way he was 5'6", but I think him being such a midget only added to his mystique i.e. how could a guy so short hold such sway over his followers? Answer - he was a sociopath, and they are often charmers, and always con men...
Everyone needs salvation here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night 🌙 ✨
So many people love to talk or comment and do not have a clue what they are talking about. Manson didn't kill Sharon Tate and her unborn child, Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Linda Kasabian killed Sharon Tate and her unborn child, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Steven Parent. Manson was not even there when they were killed.
@@Salem-yy5wn .he was the mastermind behind it, if it wasn't for his crazy and racist brain washing I doubt if anyone would have killed all of those people..
