In March 1997, 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult were found dead in a mansion in San Diego, California. They had orchestrated a mass suicide, believing they would ascend to a higher existence aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. But how did a small spiritual group evolve into a doomsday cult willing to die for their beliefs? The hosts uncover the origins of the group, the influence of its enigmatic leaders Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, and the chilling events that led to their tragic end. Through expert analysis, archival audio, and survivor accounts, we explore the psychology of belief, the allure of apocalyptic prophecy, and the devastating consequences of absolute faith.

Join us as we delve into one of the most infamous cults in modern history—and the questions that still haunt us today.
