The Manson Family is on of the most notorious cults in history. Founded by Charles Manson in 1967, the Family, who were mostly women, believed that Manson was the second coming of Jesus Christ. Manson, a failed musician, became infatuated with The Beatles after their 1968 album "The White Album" was released. It is believed that The Beatles song "Helter Skelter" was the motivation for Manson's manic thoughts. On August 9, 1969, three members of the Family entered the home of actress Sharon Tate at 10050 Cielo Drive. The three then killed Tate and her house guest along with another who was leaving the property. Charles Manson and his cult of misfits have been held to the highest regards of evil ever since.
