In this episode of the Compendium, we're taking a wild ride on board a comet as we explore the Heaven's Gate cult, where Star Trek meets spirituality and Nike sneakers become the uniform of the afterlife. Just like Adam you too wont believe this story?

As with every cult, it starts with an enegmatic leader, in this case, two of them. Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, are the unassuming founders of the class of 1997, the group of followers who would join them on a journey from the ordinary to the extraordinary, convinced that the Comet Hale-Bopp was their ticket to the heaven.

We give you the Compendium, but if you want more, then check out these great resources:
