Ghost Stories For The End Of The World

BOOKS OF WAR 1: Creation Myths

** This is a brand new show that is entirely separate to Ghost Stories for the End of the World. This one is free but if you want to hear future installments, subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd **

 

In the first episode of BOOKS OF WAR, we trace the origin of the Sicilian Mafia and explore how it drew on 2000 years of history to fashion grandiose creation myths that obscured the grim reality of what it was and how it came into existence. 

 

 

37 - Process Church: Feed Your Head

We kick off 2022 with a deep dive into the Process Church of the Final Judgement as part of our lateral look at the Manson family. A new religious movement and cult that was influenced by Carl Jung as much as Scientology, Process has been the subject of wild and feverish speculation for years. Art school try-hards or the guiding hand behind a secret "Satanic terror network"? Neonazi occultists or a pyramid scheme aimed at middle class dropouts? Our goal in this episode is to chart a path through the fog of bullshit and paranoia, and find something approximating the Truth.

Episode 36 - Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army

Hollywood Ghost Stories continues as we get into the mind-warping, brain melting, sanity blasting story of Donald Defreeze and the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. From bank jobs to CHAOS agents, the Phoenix Program to revolutionary fervor, MKUltra to the LAPD, this story has it all, and is easily one of the most incredible we've ever discussed.

Part 1: Hollywood. 1969. Hippies and revolutionaries mingle with rock gods and movie stars. The dream is over, but the party won't end. Gangsters, drug dealers, spooks and cult leaders haunt the scene. As the summer rolls on, Reagan unleashes his dogs on the counterculture, LAPD bulls run wild, paranoia reaches fever pitch, secret networks plot in the shadows, and the Family mounts an apocalyptic assault on Cielo Drive.

 

Tonight, we begin the end of Season of the Witch with a look at the dark networks encircling the LA scene of the late-60s, and go deep on one of the CIA's most controversial programs and the sickos who ran it.

Episode 34 - Nixon and Invisible Bridges

A look at the life, times and mindset of Richard Nixon and his America. Bridging the 1960s and the 1970s, his administration is infamous for its corruption, dirty tricks and endless hustles. We follow him as he navigates a swamp of neofascist masons and CIA congressmen, Bohemian Grove bigshots and Wall Street creeps, discussing everything from his bloodcurdling foreign policy to his raving paranoia.

Episode 29 - This is the Zodiac Speaking pt 2 ft. Brace Belden

Part 1 here: https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

 

Part 2 of our look at the Bay Area and the serial killer as a social and political subject in the 60s and 70s. The Dark Cowboy (Brace - @TrueAnonPod) once again guides the humble host (myself - @ghoststoriesend) on a dark voyage into the West Coast netherhead. A psychedelic abyss, you might say, where spooks, dirty politicians, killers, crooks, cult leaders and capering grotesques grin with bloody, hungry mouths as the 60s counterculture slams head-on into the nihilistic 70s.
