Let’s learn about some shocking facts about ‘Manson Family Murders’ that shook the entire world. 

Charles Manson, the chief conspirator had a set of specific rules 

On the Spahn Ranch, the head office of his conspiracies, books were not allowed and neither was watches, clocks or calendar. Even the family members were not allowed to wear glasses even if they had high prescription power. Crooked Charlie wanted his girls to see the world as it is. Although, his girls weren’t seeing anything at all! 

Charles wanted to get famous by killing few top CELEBRITIES 

Many famous names like Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, and Steve McQueen were on his hit list. He wanted to become absolutely infamous and the most-loathed villain ever. It was good that they were caught before any further killings were made. 

Charles Manson NEVER killed anyone! 

Then how he ended up being the most hated killer in the world? This is why he never carried out the murders on his own. He had his cult of fanatic followers who did anything he commanded. He made his family members commit the crimes, that’s why it is called Manson Family Murders.

There were as many as 35 victims of Charles Manson 

Although, by law, the deranged family has been convicted for eight murders that took place during 1960’s. But speculations are rife that they may have actually killed even more people. The rest of the killings weren’t pursued in court because family members who committed the crime had already been found guilty.

Guess from whom he had been taking cues? It’s as obvious as it can be. He drew inspiration from Hitler. Famous author Dale Carnegie and his legendary book “How To Win Friends And Influence People” inspired him to kill these many people. He learnt how to control people and influence their ideas, particularly by this book.

The psychopath family was extremely loyal to each other, till the end. 

The young lawyer Ronald Hughes who was representing the Manson family in the court, chose to drop the family in between. In 1970, he went missing and later on his body was found in the woods. Speculations were made that the remaining members of Manson family murdered him for his betrayal.
