Spahn Ranch - Charles Manson Location 

They ran a horse stable, I rode their every Friday night in 1969. I saw many of them get the horses ready. The place creeped us out. Then when it all hit, it was surreal.

Your ability to superimpose photos and locate locations are phenomenal..thank you for giving us these great videos

Glad you compared their pictures and matched the shots. It really made the journey a true time machine.

"It's all history, whether we like it or not." Right on. Don't erase history, learn from it so it might not happen again! Thank you for the videos, I really enjoy this channel.

It's amazing how in such a short period of time that something like that ranch can be torn down and removed and nature basically take back over. You can hardly tell something was there. Thank you Michael for sharing.

Every time I hear about the Manson family , All I can think about is the horror that Sharon Tate suffered and her poor baby!. They were soulless monsters.

Let’s never forget that these people who portrayed themselves as Love, were ready, willing and able to slaughter a woman who was ready to deliver a baby, an innocent 18 year old who begged for his life, another man who was stabbed over 50 times, another woman who screaming could be heard for a great distance and called out for her mother and another man who tried to stop the love of his life from being terrorized and knifed hung and begged for her life. Manson and his group indulged themselves every day, and then they used their Love to ruin generations of their victims families. Like Mrs. Tate said, “When am I going to get paroled?” God rest their weary souls.

I deeply loved the way you created the girls singing in the background. Truly Eerie 💯

You did an amazing job on the comparison shots. Thank you so much for showing us this. I remember my father reading about it in the paper when it happened. We were on summer vacation at Lake Tahoe. I was 10 years old.

I requested a spahn ranch video when y'all announced your trip to LA and grimmlifecollective delivered!! Thank you so much!!!

I was 13 yrs old in 1969, living in Hawthorne California. The 'flower-child' era was going on, the hippie stories, and psychedelic art. Our parents were 'old fogeys'. Make love, not war. Give peace a chance. Those murders were chilling and we should not forget this story nor the history of the 'family'. It shows how gullible youth could be influenced so easily into something horrible before they knew it.

This is the creepiest video you've done yet. Excellent work!

Dude, this is the best of your videos that I’ve watched yet. The whole trip down in the woods and into the cave was tense in a way and very captivating footage! I’ve been watching your channel for a year or so, but here lately I’ve been going back through a lot of your older videos over the past couples of weeks and I just have to say that I really appreciate what you and Jessica do with the videos. There’s a lot of care, research and incredible depth to what you guys do. Thank you!

Thank you for bringing us this video I’ve been wanting to see this so badly !

You were probably not too far from where Spahn Ranch worker “Shorty” Shea was murdered and then buried. Thanks for your video of what the area looks like today!

Wow, great video.. love the Then/Now photo comparisons.. Grimlife just got grim again!!.. love it ☘️☘️☘️

This is my new favourite channel, I'm finding your videos absolutely fascinating.

Well done man...the geo locating and picture comparisons you did from past to present were fascinating.. it must have been something else placing yourself in some of these extraordinary spots. Cheers from Canada.

I've been binge watching your videos and I enjoy them so much!!! Thank you for bringing the past to life!!

All of your videos are fantastic. I love how you added how it looks now and showed how it looked then as well. You both do an amazing job. A wealth of knowledge in each video. I appreciate all that you do for each location you visit.

I'm always amazed how you match up pictures/film with locations in your vlogs. Keep up the good work :)

These videos are much appreciated man. Thank you

Just found your channel, love it. Subject matter is dealt with respectfully and professionally. Love your opening and closing tune 💀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I like how you introduced images and footage into your contemporary filming. You did your homework! Good job on this!

You really are a great storyteller! I like your delivery and your narration. Keep up the great work!!

I'm digging the new hair style. Thank you for including the picture comparisons. I love it when you do that in your videos.

Another excellent video. Your investigative research (along with Scott's) is so much appreciated by us fans. Both channels deserve 1 million+ subscribers!

Thanks for putting it in perspective as in depth as you did! Very easy to follow & in-vision what it looked like when you did those comparisons! Great job!

I love how you did comparison shots. This was a great video, really enjoyed it.

Thank you for this video and all thar you abd baby ghoul do for us mr Michael ! Been following for a while now and everything has been amazing !!!

Creepy but beautiful piece of land, dude your editing is spot on, the singing while panning the shot was chilling, wow, keep up the great work! Can one even imagine the conversations they had and the odd creepy things thay went on there, it's better off now as is.

So there was some factual elements to Once upon a time in Hollywood !! Really enjoying your channel, I love exploring and visiting places with a kinda trauma so to speak . When you visit Ireland there’s so much for you to document.

Ur videos should be in Netflix or national geographic the way u talk is so clear the way u explain is so clear the way u record so educational first u show then u explain love ur videos keep up the best work

First one of your videos I have watched. This is pretty close to exceptional. Well done!

Really enjoy the videos ex specially the lining up of pictures from past to present it just helps to bring the history ALIVE...

You two are amazing I love watching you guys' videos I recently came upon your videos and your channel like about a week ago and I've been in love with your channel ever since. I watch you whenever I have my morning coffee or whenever I'm relaxing. I love the locations you guys visit keep doing it keep loving life love you guys much love from the Lafond family.

I wish Dearly Departed Museum didn't close recently. You two would have LOVED Scott and all his tours and creepy artifacts. They had the Jayne Mansfield Death Car and he's a bot of a Manson aficionado. Anyway, you got a new California fan in me.

Love your footage. Always been interested in this case. Well documented. I just subscribed to your channel.

That was one of the best Manson/Spahn Ranch videos, the then and now comparisons were excellent!!! Kudos to Grimm Life Co!!!!

This is your best episode. It's like seeing and hearing ghosts, 50 years later. Inreal! The cave is simply surreal

This is absolutely amazing and so eerie to see the origin point of the Manson Family. Love the good work keep it up

Nicely done! Thanks for the post.

Thank you for all your great work. ❤ I love your videos each one is better than the next. This one however was my favorite so far. Keep it up your the best.

Love this one! Big history buff on the Tate/Labianca murderers. It's June 27, 2022 and I revisited the actual site myself today. Maybe a half dozen I total. The sense of history is so fascinating you can feel it. Your shots of the actual Spahn ranch really give me a sense of time & place. I can see the road into the ranch & it's stables & little mock town street & of course the Spahn ranch wagon. The cave is awesome. Bullet holes pepper trees. Its worth the trip.

I'm back to thank you again and to say that I've followed the trial and interviews for 50years. One thing I was always afraid to do was to read Helter Skelter. Considered the best true crime story ever I'm ready to read it myself. Cannot wait.

Great video documentary of the site. You speak with a calming believable knowledge. I am definitely subscribing.

Just stumbled on your channel. Awesome, love it, thank you!!

The shot of the cave.....so creepy. Thank you for this, it was fascinating.

A Fantastic veiw! I heard so much about the Ranch and places the family would hang out! and it's history! This was a well said & well articulated story,and it was done so well guys! thank's Grimlifecolective Crew! Mike&Jessica!✌⚘🇨🇦

Amazing video man you go deep into detail, well done 👍

Great captures & old to new photos. Good stuff

Sharon Tate ♡♡♡ Rest in peace.

Michael, Excellent work in photography and your research. This was very interesting to watch and to see an area of history.

I'm really enjoying your channel dude. Loving the content and your intro music

Just found your channel. Brilliant ! Love it.

That was a freaking cool tour of Spahn Ranch all these years later. Loved it. Also happy you were not bitten by a rattlesnake!!!!

GREAT WORK GRIMM!!!👍p.s. I was in the other side and missed u by a hair.

Great video. Just discovered your channel. You do an amazing job of comparing past to now

Watching this after your Tate and LaBianca videos. Youve absolutely earned my sub. Great to see 2 young people get after it and cover things i wish i was able to do. 👋👋👍👍

This video was edited so nicely. Great video! I would love to visit there.

Amazing that someone like Manson could get anyone to follow them. Excellent video.

Love these videos, well done!

Your channel is great… Really enjoy your content ! thank you so much 😊

Also, awesome intro with the Manson interview. I have watched probably every one there is out there and this one in particular shows his real character better than most. He was one messed up and very scary guy!

It’s crazy how nature can completely take back over once human buildings are demolished. The area looks nothin like the way it did during the family days.

A brilliant video! Thank you.

You do an amazing work with your films, Thank you for sharing it with us 👌🏻😀

You said it perfectly. " So much history. " Dark history, yes but history all the same. Wow! This is the closest I'll ever come to being there and it was very cool. Thanks so much for this video!

Chatsworth is a hidden gem of Los Angeles. From Spahn Ranch, to Stoney Pointe, to the Hells Angels clubhouse, to the Rocketdyne nuclear meltdown, to being the porn capital of the world. The Metrolink disaster, one of the best HS baseball programs in the country, Joey Buttafucco even lived here and had an auto body shop here. I rode my motorcycle right by here yesterday on Santa Susanna. The Lone Ranger rock is just across the street off RedMesa road. The Flintstones movie was filmed in these rocks.

Good episode! Might have 2 check this location out one day!

Great Vid bro. Enjoyed it 👍

So informative, very well presented. Cheers!

Nice touch with the Manson girls singing. It's always so haunting to hear. Thanks for doing this, it was super neat seeing the then and now comparisons. If I ever make it to California, it's for sure one of my stops. Could you imagine if they never bulldozed it?

Excellent video !!

Great vid bro, loved it

Fantastic video and history 53 years ago tonight Xxx

I wonder if Van Houten and Krenwinkel still hear that creepy song in their heads at night. It would be awesome to bring in some teenagers to sing that to them at their parole hearings.

You’re great at what you do! Bro. Thanks for the video

Ok Im totally binging your vids right now and loving them. You and Jessica are great.

excellent video...

"I'm properly prepared, she's wearing flipflops" haha of course she is... I know this routine all too well lol

This was awesome. Great job. I've been a Manson buff since I was 8. Love the location visit videos!

Love the Then and Now shots. I do that with Civil War photos and other historical photographs. Well done.

amazing how you can pick out the exact locations in that wilderness on a few static photos, puts it into perspective for us, thanks

Hey congrats on another great video. Been watching since last summer. Would love you to do The Hocus Pocus filming locations. Or the 1990 version of a Night of the living dead. I apologize if you have already done those and I missed them.

This . Is . Creepy. This is probably the creepiest video of where Manson family lived. The music added another level atmosphere........great work

I was 16 when I read Helter Skelter . I never forgot that book. I'm seriously binging all your short films . Great stuff !!!! For a Pop culture nut like me it's addictive.

Greetings from the uk. Loved this .... a beautiful stretch of land. Thanks for showing the cave. Looked so tiny but it's got a history in itself. Despite what happened which was horrific I would have loved to have been around LA in the 60's especially Laurel Canyon/Height Ashbury as its so rich with history. Thanks again ❤

My grandma would've been still pregnant with my mom when this happened (she was born August 22nd), so I could imagine how she felt hearing about this and being pregnant herself. 😢

Thanks for another great video! Cheers🙂 🇨🇦

Thanks so much for sharing this... I read Helter Skelter so know the dark history, but to see the actual location was awesome... thanks again

It's all history whether we like it or not.... Well said... Thank you for sharing stuff I've always dreamed about doing...

There are snake bite kits you can buy. I have them in my hiking backpack, The one I have can fit in your pocket. Get ya one🤗 Great vid thanks y'all 👍🏽🖤

I love your channel.. this clip is awesome.. thanks for the tour.. 🖤

Such great content, and personality. Why you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me.

Love the video. It was the church across the way that removed Mansons name off the rock. It's the rock Manson sat and sang to his followers from.

Will you be exploring Barker Ranch? I think there’s an old truck there as well as a dried up swimming hole. You might need a guide as it’s not an easy trek.

Thanks great video 📹 👍 always wanted to see what it's like there now.

Love your work bro

I used to be shocked seeing Charles Manson in those documentaries when I was younger. Now I see him as a sad, failure of a man who was only gifted in manipulating weak minded followers.
