4 Downright Disturbing Facts About The Manson Murders That Will Make The Hairs On Your Neck Stand Up

Mike Love, frontman for the Beach Boys, said in the book he wrote, Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy, “The move was no accident. Terry, Doris’ only child, was extremely close to his mom.”

“He had told her about Manson – and about some of his scary antics, his brandishing of knives, his zombie followers — and that Manson had been to the house on Cielo and she insisted he move out.”

Heartbreakingly enough, Sharon Tate pleaded for her life and for her unborn son’s life before being murdered. Family member Susan Atkins testified in court that this was true.

Susan replied to Sharon after she begged for her life with, “Woman, I have no mercy for you.” She later said to the grand jury that she chose those words just to make herself feel better.

Susan stabbed Sharon in the stomach and then she used her own blood to write “pig” on her front door. She later explained that she stabbed Sharon because she was, “sick of listening to her, pleading and begging, begging and pleading.”

At a parole hearing for Susan in 2000, Debra, Sharon’s sister, read a letter her father had written, “Thirty-one years ago I sat in a courtroom with a jury and watched with others. I saw a young woman who giggled, snickered and shouted out insults; even while testifying about my daughter’s last breath, she laughed. My family was ripped apart. If Susan Atkins is released to rejoin her family, where is the justice?”
