  One of my favorite survivor stories is that of Hyacinth Thrash. At 73 years old, she escaped the massacre by hiding under her bed when the guards swept through the sleeping cabins. When the she came out from under the bed, everyone was dead. She would sit in Jonestown for an entire day, with the bodies of the dead all around, waiting for rescue.

  There’s audio of the cult’s final hour. It’s bone chilling. Children screaming, psychotic singing and Jim Jones actively giving the orders and talking people through their death. It’s absolute nightmare fuel.

  RIP Don Harris [one of the journalists slaughtered at the airfield] who was, for a time, a fixture of the Dallas news scene. Due to his demise, local coverage was extensive and images from the Jonestown Massacre coverage are etched into my memory, especially aerial footage of the unbelievable carnage. I distinctly remember having to turn off the television, put on my coat, and go for a walk to keep from losing it over all those dead children.

  as a Guyanese myself, alot of us don&apos;t know of him and what he did. I found out only a couple years ago and im very sure most of our population doesn&apos;t know too.

  Marceline was a lovely, compassionate woman by nature. Loyalty to her husband was just what she knew until it was too late. Marceline was my father&apos;s aunt. She and Jones were married in a double wedding, along with my grandparents. My father was a member of the Temple in the redwood area of northern California. The stories I heard as a young teenager sparked a lifelong fascination with criminology, specifically in cases such as this. I always wondered what could drive a person to commit such heinous acts against those who had the deepest of trust in them. The idea still eludes me to this day. To all my family I lost in the most tragic way, you will not be forgotten. To Aunt Marceline, I know you wanted to stop him. It very well could&apos;ve been you who dealt Jim his fate before taking your own life. I forgive you. My goal is to honor you and the many others who had been robbed of their lives, and punished for their faith. Rest easy.

  I listened to his death tape a number of times. &nbsp;At first one asks how does he convince almost 1000 people to delete themselves over one speech. But after a few times you recognize that while there were a small number not wanting to do this, most of the crowd was already prepared and agreeable to dying long before that speech was made.

  <i>&quot;The kids aren&apos;t in pain. They&apos;re crying because of the bitter taste&quot;</i><br>- on cyanide poisoning. <br>This was such a horrific event and like The Wave (1981), should be mandatory education in all schools about the dangers of ideological possession.

  My mother told me that my grandparents had Jim over for Sunday dinner after church once. Apparently, he was a guest preacher at their church. &nbsp;It was something my grandparents never spoke about.

  I think the Heavens Gate mass suicide was scarier although the body count was far less. The reason is, the Heavens Gate suicides were unforced, totally preplanned and voluntary. They all went to their grave &quot;willingly&quot; after weeks of advance notice that this was for sure a suicide cult. Indeed, they didnt think it was the end, they literally thought that they were going to a spaceship to be among angels. A few of the victims had even left the cult, but came back to die! And two former members who missed the mass suicide after leaving the group actually committed suicide in the following months or years. Their hypnosis under Applewhite&apos;s insane sermons is horrific, and some of the male members volunteered to be castrated and indeed followed thru with it. The whole thing is strange and sickening to the max.
