Narrative Essay On The Manson House

Finally…. Halloween was here. I have waited all year for this day. My all time favorite holiday. School was finally over and I slipped on my costume and jetted out the door. I was ready for the spooky scares, chilly air, and crazy dares that happen on halloween night. My friend Kayla and I walked to each door chanting “trick or treat”, but one house appeared to be kind of peculiar. The house was big, white, and the tiles were falling off. Nobody dared to step on the property of the house.

The 1960s were a volatile era of social and political turbulence – a majority of which was centered in culturally progressive areas (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, etc.). In 1969, Charles Manson, an American criminal, rose to infamy with his orchestration of seven gruesome murders in Los Angeles, California. What's even more shocking than the murder scenes, was the fact that Manson did not perpetrate any of the murders himself, but instead convinced others to commit the crimes for him: the murderers had been done by the Manson Family, a cult Manson himself had created. Manson’s total control over his followers marked him as a manipulative and cunning psychopath, however the development of his cult was largely due to the 1960s

Charles Miles Maddox was born on November 12th 1934 in Cincinnati Ohio to Kathleen Maddox. A few years after Charles was born Kathleen had married William Manson who gave Charles his last name. The marriage did not last long, after the divorce Charles was sent to an all boy school. At an early age Manson showed signs of a serial killer, in elementary he would gain followers of mostly gullible girls and tell them to attack other girls but when teachers questioned Manson he would tell them that the girls had done the acts on their own will and he had nothing to do with it.

Most people equate 1960’s American culture with an idealistic view that it was all peace signs, “flower power”, and the old adage of “sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll”. While in some aspects that was true, especially in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco where the Hippie Counter Culture Movement began, many people also forget that there was a much darker side to this period of history. According to Walsh (2010), the 1960’s “was a decade of extremes, of transformational change and bizarre contrasts: flower children and assassins, idealism and alienation, rebellion and backlash. For Many in the massive post-World War II baby boomer generation… it was the best of time and the

A murderer is normally defined by the psychological attributes that define him or her. These killers often suffer from a psychotic delusion that forces them to commit their horrific crimes. However, those who are pronounced sane and rational have a moral conviction that drives them to kill. It is this principle that separates the average murder from the psychotic sadists that believes in what he or she does. Charles Manson, leader of the Manson Family, believed in the apocalyptic war of Helter Skelter, the uprising of blacks and the mass genocide of whites (Whitehead). Manson’s firm conviction about Helter Skelter separates him from other criminals who commit their crimes out of insanity. In Travels in New-England and New-York, author

Charles Manson is well known around the world for the infamous murders he orchestrated throughout the 1960’s. When hearing the name “Manson,” two words that immediately come to mind are crazy and murders. I believe Manson is insane, and should be in jail for life. Although he did not personally commit murders, he had other people that trusted him, do it for him. Manson manipulated people all around him and could get people to murder whenever he asked them to.

It was October 31st, 1999, one windy, cold, and dark Halloween night. Three friends, McKenzie, Baylee, and Vanessa decided they wanted to stay home alone while Baylee’s parents were at work. She told everyone she lived in a “hell house” all her life because there was constantly something going on. Doors flying open, voices, footsteps. Nothing ever stayed where they had put it. Her parents worked all the time and she was constantly terrified. On Halloween it tended to get worse but no one had ever believed her.

     “Jails, courtrooms and prisons had been my life since I was twelve years old.” (Emmons and Manson, 21) These are the words of Charles Milles Manson, a convicted serial killer who has never actually murdered a single person in his life.

(28) It was 1967, after Manson had just been released from the Federal Penitentiary at Terminal Island, San Pedro, when the “Manson Family” had begun to form.

Five friends go on a roadtrip to find the most extreme haunted houses in America, all while hoping to uncover and document something more sinister than your average haunt. While the group come across a few creepy things along the way, their trip turns up very little outside of sporadic rumors about a traveling haunt that is considered the craziest of them all. As they increase their search for this mysterious haunt, things start to take a dangerous turn when a group of very disturbed people begin to mess with them, putting the friends in a situation far more intense than they had ever anticipated.

About three years ago these two thirteen year old kids, Jesse and Marissa, lived in Point Place Wisconsin. This was in the month of october about two weeks before halloween.

Despite the horrid nature of the cult, people’s insecurities lead them to trust in Manson’s community, which his “family” viewed as founded on a sense of belonging and trust. For instance, one of Manson’s most loyal followers named Patricia recalled that “[Manson] always made someone feel loved...he was like Christ” (10:11). This comparison of Manson as a Savior that cares for and sacrifices for his people establishes an essential characteristic of a successful community- care for each other- that his followers have not been getting enough of. Since Manson’s community provides this love they are desperate for and have been deprived of, his followers truly believe Manson is benefitting them, and they are grateful for his guidance. Furthermore,

“In the year of 1989, there was a street named Elm, in the state of Wyoming. Few chose to live on that street, and they all knew about the haunted house, up on the hill, on the west side of town, coming off of Elm. Once, I spent the week with some friends and, Halloween came upon us, while I stayed with them.” I was telling my first-grade brother and his friends stories to scare them out of their wits. Besides, no one wants little kids tagging along with you to go trick or treating, when you could go with your friends to Haunted Houses, and not ones set up by the town hall. “We were just about to pass the house, not thinking anything of it, when we heard a moan coming from Old Man Reaper’s house.” Their eyes grew wide with fear.
