CHARLES MANSON STORIES w/ Scott Michaels of DEARLY DEPARTED 

Dearly Departed and Scott are great . Very dark stuff but great that history is being preserved on this level

My husband briefly worked for Jay Sebring. He was a Vietnam veteran, ship's barber. He said that Jay always called him "Pretty Boy." He hated that!

Scott is a great guy. Best tour guide in Los Angeles. Fun guy to talk to and THE authority on anything regarding Manson.

I took the Dearly Departed Tour a couple of years ago at the old location. I got to meet and talk to Scott while I was there. He was a cool guy and very witty. Haven't had a chance to take the Helter Skelter tour yet. The documentary is very good

People say that Bugliosi made up Helter skelter, but it was written in Leno La Bianca's blood on his fridge . So it obviously existed

This was great! Scott is brilliant. I'd love to take that tour and see the museum sometime. I own the DVD and it's really good. You did a wonderful job on the interview, as well, with very insightful questions.

Best vlog! I have done Scott's tours 3 times. On the 2nd tour his Hearse had a tire blow out close too OJ's house. He gave me and my friend a private tour the next day and on that tour he got the fireplace bricks from the Tate house. His tours are great and I suggest that when in LA your vlogers check him out. Many thanks, Dell

"hope I don't end up a stop on your tour." those are some eerie words Anthony Bourdain.

Scott Michaels is fantastic!! His museum and tours are awesome!!

I really need to go to the Dearly Departed museum. Would love to meet Michael Scott one day.. I've seen his documentary movie years ago and it was truly intriguing.

I remember when I was introduced to “crazy Charlie “ back in the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. It was In front of the Straight Theatre. He was a very small guy. He asked my “sign”. I told him I was a Scorpio. He said “so am I! I was born November 12th.” I freaked but didn’t tell him that too was my birthday. What a bummer 😟

The Dearly Departed Museum looks fascinating.

I was living with Frank Zappa at the house you filmed during the Manson murders. Gail hired a gigantic bodyguard to stay with us for several days. I filled the dining room bay window with all of Moons stuffed animals, and we left the radio blaring all night, with the lights on. If anyone just stood there staring, they'd KNOW it was nothing. So lame! But it was better than Gail Moon and Janet & me stuffing ourselves into the car and driving to LasVegas, which was what Gail WANTED to do. Frank was in Montreal, and told her to just calm down,hire the bodyguard, and go to bed. Then the LaBiancas were murdered. We stayed in the house, kept the bodyguard, and ate pancakes. Not lyin'...people were scared.

Thanks for sharing this. Much respect for Scott!

Great interview! So much to see there. Always learning something new about the Manson case. So intriguing.

In 1997 I was on a private tour of Corcoran State Prison in California and stood in Charles Manson's cell in a high security area called The Shu - Charlie wasn't home that day because he was locked up in solitary confinement for possession of drugs. Sirhan Sirhan - the man who shot Robert Kennedy was in the cell next door.

I visited this museum in August 2019, on the 50th anniversary weekend of the Tate-LaBianca murders. Great place, great guy, great tour. I understand that the museum has now closed, sad to say, it was a very interesting place to visit and they had a ton of great books for sale. I even purchased a bit of fireplace stone from the Sharon Tate living room here! Hopefully Scott will choose to reopen someday.

Dearly Departed is an amazing shop. Scott knows his stuff. Thank you Jordan for yet another interesting vlog :)

WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!! As soon as I saw title, I made my coffee and made myself comfortable...lol. U were so right on live stream last night. Today was a great vlog surprise

Nice to know of a company gives you the straight dope on a tour. The museum was amazing. Informative interview.

Just rewatching this today. You 2 are so stinking cute with these blogs. I’m still 80% housebound and these help so much.

Jordan, you are awesome you need to have your own Hollywood museum.

Thank you so much for doing this interview with Scott. I was curious to what his thoughts were on Manson's passing. Great interview and thank you for all the vlogs you do. I enjoy them greatly and look forward to them. :)

Death Hag! Awesome interview. Dearly Departed is something I would 100% do if I could get to L.A, I love Find a grave, find a death and all that sort of stuff, always something interesting.

In 1992 I drove up Goler Wash, a remote and rough 4wd road just southwest of the southern end of Death Valley N.P. and found the old ranch buildings used as a hideout by Manson and followers right after the Tate-Labianca murders. When I arrived, there wasn't much to see but an old cabin with windows and a shed, both in semi-decent condition with a hand painted 'keep out' sign. The sun baked body shell of an ancient volkswagen beetle resting on the ground, all other parts removed, marked the beginning of the trail off the main road, just a very short hike from there to the ranch. In a ravine behind the cabin was a sizable dumping ground full of rusty junk and tin cans that looked at least many decades old. According to the Helter Skelter book, this ranch cabin had a bathroom. Inside a cabinet under the bathroom sink is where Manson was found hiding and was arrested along with the others.

I agree with everything you said, the museum is amazing, as well as the tour. I was actually a bit gutted to find out that Zappa was buried at the same cemetery as Marilyn and it hadn't been pointed out on the wee map. I think the place is so full of celebs they can list them all!

Great vlog, Scott Michael is very informative and nice guy, his tours are amazing with comfy vans and friendly guides I highly recommend his company. Its wonderful vlogging has allowed you to travel. So exciting seeing a early white Christmas, I hope your able to travel a lot more.

One more for my bucket list ! Great story and your a natural at interviewing Jordan ; good job ! Well have a great weekend and start to your holidays ! 👍🏻😎🐶🦁🎬🎥💙👍🏻

Scott Michaels in the nicest guy. Love his museum!

When I worked as a Letter Carrier in downtown Los Angeles, I would stop at a small cafeteria on Main Street everyday for coffee. Later, during the Manson trial, the MANSON GIRLS would gather there before walking up to the Courthouse. I would always sit at the counter and then one day the MANSON GIRLS made their first appearance there, and would sit at the counter beside me talking and laughing. This was in the days before they were arrested for killing Sharon Tate and her friends. The girls never mentioned they were involved in the murders but talked about other things. A few weeks later, they weren't there, and I read that they had been apprehended for those murders.

Scott Michael's movie originally turned me on to dearly departed (this was their mailbox), my roommate wandered in with it one day.great info and adventure! stumbled onto daze Kurt and Courtney Hollywood bowl apartment vlog. Fascinating, never knew Kurt lived there or wrote in utero in the closet.big nirvana fan.sing and play teen spirit,all apologies ,breed girl...love your vlog Jordan! always edifying pleasure.Jah!

Just watching your Manson-related videos after seeing OUATIH - if Scott only knew then that he'd be chatting with Tarantino about Manson and getting a thank you on screen! Amazing

Every time I see that Clark Gable picture it reminds me of my Papaw, he looked a lot like him. Ears and everything. Lol

LOVE IT!!!!! Six Degrees of Helter Skelter is a very informative DVD that Scott did....Highly recommended!!!! GREAT VLOG JORDAN!!!! However now that he's dead... Manson's body on a compost heap would be more benefit to humanity than anything he ever did in his life!!!!!!

Pretty cool to see the Tina Turner goods in the museum.

Great interview Jordan! You are truly amazing-thanks for posting!

Jordan being the big fan of the band Love as we all are, I wonder if you aware the Bobby Beausoliel was in the band early on...The Doors were aware of Manson. Manson was everywhere.

Thank You for another interesting and exciting vlog. Keep up the awesome work you're very good at it !

Absolutely loved this video this subject has always been an interest to me thank you

HELLO JORDAN GREAT VIDEO!!!

That was super interesting. Thanks for more history and Hollywood background stories!

Thanks for showing Ken Weatherwax’s final resting place! I love love love The Addams Family. I’m proud to be your newest Patreon!! 💙🦁💜

I took Scott's tour twice. Loads o' fun.

AWESOME Jordan and I love Scott Michaels. If you haven't seen 6 degrees of Helter Skelter yet please do- it is so excellent I've watched it more than a dozen times.

Love it!! This and your graveyard Vlogs !! I love it!! Thanks 🦁🐾💯🍒💋

Just found this channel. Cannot believe I've never found this place. This interview was so fascinating. Really outstanding channel you have here.

Scott Michaels consistently does excellent work. Such an intelligent man he is.

Great vid. Thank you.

have you thought of doing California Gold? Hugh Howser use to do it. So many new places he didn't do. Just to let you know, Whittier is Richard Nixon ' s hometown. Pat was a secretary at Whittier HS. His first law office was here. Our town museum has a section just on him.

Oh thats wild at 1:41 Anthony Bourdain's signed photo. R.I.P Mr.Bourdain I hope u r at peace now, so sad.

Very informative vlog Jordan...love Scott. Was sorry to learn he had shut down.

Great video! So many different things to learn about the Manson Case. Thanks!

Love Scott and Dearly Departed, great video, just subscribed

Hi Jordan it’s nice to see the Ike and Tina stuff in the museum you gave the stuff a “good resting place”

Jordan, my parents lived in Cedar Rapids at the time of the Tate/Labianca murders. They NEVER locked the doors to their homes before the murders, after, doors/windows were locked. Everyone also bought a gun and a large dog. My Dad refused to talk about the case at all! He never said why. Maybe it was because he traveled to LA on business. (He was a insurance sales man). Back then Dad sold door to door and life insurance was more of a personal deal, than it is now, lol! I would like to tell you about that some time. It was totally different back then. I was 3 when the murders happened. By the time the trial came around I have vague memories of it being on the news. The whole Manson ordeal changed not just LA, but it affected all of America, and probably the world! Jill Gross

Ive been into the Manson story since I was 16, I'm now 49. I recently purchased a piece of Spahn Ranch!

And congrats on 6k!!!!

Excellent!!

Wow great interview. I would love to go see this museum. Thanks for this

Great as always thank you. You do awesome videos.

Wow..this video was very interesting. Good job!

Good interview :)

I would love to go to dearly departed,thanks scott and jordon for all you guys do god bless you both

Your videos are awesome! So much info!!!

Learned a lot , as always on you YT Thank You

I must plan a trip to visit this museum. Wow!

Awesome!

Thanks for this vlog. History is important to share

Salutes done with the right hand. Great videos. Just got into these genre and you vlogs are really cool.

I love Dearly Departed. Never been to the museum but I follow them on facebook and followed his site for a while. I love history and love Scotts stories. It's dark history but interesting at the same time. I wish I live in the LA area or I would go there often. Also...is that place haunted with all those objects especially with human remains and a death car.

I did not know that he passed away. Thank you. Scott's key "fobs" from famous hotels are truly neat. I would HAVE TO buy one if I was there (and if they were for sale.) The two of you working together aggregates the best of both talents. Thank you both. My family was on an out west trip shortly after Bugliosi's book came out. Both my sister and I were reading the book (simultaneously, yes 2 copies,) during the long drives. We coincidentally happened to be IN L.A., and my fuddy duddy father was actually excited to drive to two sites that WE came up with. (Did he know what we were seeing....?) There we were, unobstructed, looking at the two homes. Of course at Ciello Drive, we could only see the gate and gate button -- but it was exactly the same as the photo in the book of the gate button with the BLOOD still on it (which was smudged and compromised by an idiot police officer, when forensics weren't yet regularly implemented.) And today, the gate and button still look the same.

Just found this info from 5 years ago! Good!

The six degrees is a great doc. More please.... chop chop!!!

This was a very Creepy Story! Wow I was 10 years old when the Manson murders happened. Yikes! Thanks, Jordan 🦁 and jah 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Good video! Scott seems like a good dude. Hope to get to LA sometime and visit the museum and maybe meet him.

Scott Michael ROCKS. his Helter Skelter doc is second to none with the connected back stories.

Very interesting- well done. Hope to make it down to take the tour.

The museum has grown! I visited & took the tour back in 2014. The museum was much smaller. That year Debra Tate had published a book on Sharon’s fashion photos, style & makeup. It was hard to look at without tearing up. But the tour had no information about those murders or OJ.

I've always wanted to go to that museum

Was cool to see Ike and Tina Turner’s wallpaper in Dearly Departed museum! Would love to go on a Dearly Departed tour!

Please vlog the helter skelter tour. I so want to go!

I want that Vincent Bugliosi poster!! EDIT: Since this comment, I went to LA and saw the poster

Love you Scott! Love you Jordan!

I love Christmas too!!

I live on Beachwood drive near the Hollywood sign, I guess we are almost neighbors. 🤩🤩🤩

This is a fantastic vlog. Thanks for taking me there. Look at George Burns peeking out .......

Fascinating!

Hi Jordan. Grait. Video.

Love you Daz your great !!!!

This is Awsome

Thanks for another great vlog. BTW, why is the dog park closed?

Manson was awesome. And had a lot of great insight

Interesting! I've to pay a visit to Dearly Departed.
