Always a great lead-off subject for any site that deals with strange behavior...The Heaven's Gate Cult is STILL up and running despite the 1997 mass-suicide deaths of founder,
Marshall Applewhite and 39 other cult members who consumed a phenobarbital, pudding (what the hell was the pudding for, I wonder?), and Vodka mixture in a highly unsuccessful (I think) attempt to depart earth and board a spaceship concealed in the tail of the Hale-Bopp Comet...And, no, I'm not making any of this up! Read it for yourself here on the
Wikipedia or view the
Heaven's Gate homepage (including explanation of the mass-suicide).
Also check out a great article titled "
Heaven's Gate: The Deadly Delusion Continues" by Patrick Cooke at
UfoDigest.com...(Good to see I'm not the only one who's noticed a problem with this!)
"He ain't dead, he's just TRAVELIN'!"
