Devotion Turned Deadly

from Chasing Midnight · host Isabelle Gibson

This week on Chasing Midnight, we’re diving into two of history’s most infamous cults—and the chilling legacies they left behind. Isabelle unpacks the harrowing events of Jonestown, where over 900 followers of Jim Jones perished in a mass murder-suicide that shook the world. Meanwhile, Madison takes us inside the twisted world of Charles Manson and his so-called “family,” exploring the manipulative power that led to a string of brutal murders. From blind devotion to deadly obedience, we’re breaking down how these leaders gained control—and the tragic cost of following them. ••• ‼️Listener discretion is advised: this episode contains descriptions of violence, death, and disturbing events.‼️ ________ 🔗 Follow us on socials for photos and updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok, Facebook → @ChasingMidnightPod 💌 Contact us: [email protected]
