In this episode of Weird and Wicked, we're diving deep into one of the most infamous cults in American history. Heaven’s Gate. Led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, this group believed they were destined for a higher existence beyond Earth, ultimately leading 39 members to commit mass suicide in 1997 in hopes of reaching a spaceship trailing behind the Hale-Bopp comet.

Join me as we explore the origins of Heaven’s Gate, the chilling beliefs that captivated its followers, and the tragic events that led to the largest mass suicide on U.S. soil. We’ll sift through the cult's ideologies, the psychological tactics used by its leaders, and the disturbing details of that fateful day in March.

How did a group of seemingly ordinary people become convinced that they had to die to reach salvation? Tune in as we delve into the bizarre and unsettling world of Heaven’s Gate.

This is a story of manipulation, devotion, and a search for meaning that took a very dark turn. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss—because sometimes the truth is stranger, and more wicked, than fiction.
