The launching of a new series for our newsletter begins with a report on a visit from a past resident, Lee “Tate” McReynolds on Saturday, October 25. Tate, who is now 73 years old, grew up here in Chatsworth. His family owned the property south of the Santa Susana Pass Road where his parents, Lee and Ruth McReynolds, ran a trading post known as Lee’s Last Frontier. Tate donated a copy of his mother’s autobiography to our library. The property is just south of The Church at Rocky Peak and north of the Santa Susana Creek. For a while it was known as the Spahn Ranch. In the past…several sources claim that it was Photo courtesy of Tate McReynolds originally owned by silent film actor William S. Hart.

Three young girls dance down the hallway of the Superior Court Building in Los Angeles, holding hands and singing one of Charlie's songs. They might be on their way to a birthday party in their short, crisp cotton dresses, but, actually they are attending a preliminary hearing to a murder trial. A middle-aged lady in Bel Air wants to "mother" Charlie, and two little girls send a letter to him in jail. "At first we thought you were guilty. But then we read in the papers about these kids who were stabbed to death in the same way as the Sharon Tate murders. We knew you hadn't done it because you were in jail at the time. We knew you hadn't done it anyway when we saw your face in the newspaper. "Love . " Charlie gets letters from little girls every day. They come from New Hampshire, Minnesota, Los Angeles.

  • Satanic Crime: a Threat in the New Millennium
    Satanic Crime: A Threat in the New Millennium For several decades mainstream media outlets have been hesitant to report crimes which involve Satanism. When such incidents do receive coverage the diabolical aspects of the story are hardly touched upon and tend to never be followed up with further investigation. Satanic Crime is the first book to pull many of these under-reported stories together and offers a birds-eye-view of Devil Worshipers who commit murders. This is also the first study to examine the links between elite Luciferian secret societies and Satanic serial killers. Case studies include; Charles Manson, “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz, “Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez, Satanic killer Ricky Kasso, “Norway’s Wolfman” Varg Vikernes, Joe Fiorella who committed an act of ritual necrophilia, Columbine killers Harris and Kleobold, “Angel of Death” Jeff Weise, Rodrigo Orias who decapitated a Catholic priest for Lucifer, Andrea Volpe who ritually murdered a girl who he saw as a personification of the Virgin Mary. Links between the Skull and Bones Society, Bohemian Grove and White House “journalist” Jeff Gannon are investigated as well as the connection between the Bilderberg Group and Belgium’s Satanic child pornographer Marc Dutroux. Bonus Features: Access to the Satanic Crime Multimedia Section with hours of free film documentaries and audios related to the Satanic case studies. Solidly documented from published sources, Satanic Crime answers the questions: “Why does the mainstream media avoid reporting on Satanism?” “What association do major world leaders have with Devil Worship?” Be prepared for the Shock of your Life!

NIGEL KNEALE’S MASTERFUL MIX OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND THE SUPERNATURAL CAN STILL HAUNT YOU LIKE NO OTHER” PHELIM O’NEILL – THE GUARDIAN Nigel (Quatermass) Kneale’s legendary small screen frightener The Stone Tape was originally commissioned as a feature length ghost story for Christmas in 1972. The setting for this creepy classic is a traditionally spooky old house which is bought by an electronics company to house their new recording media research division. The building has been completely renovated apart from one room that the superstitious workmen have refused to enter. Of course computer programmers, Peter (Michael Bryant) and Jill (Jane Asher) are made of sterner stuff and investigate the room, finding nothing more scary than a few tins of pre-war spam and a letter to Santa from a young girl probably now long dead. Things get a bit more spooky though when the scientists knock down an old wood panel to discover a stone staircase. It is on this that the psychically susceptible Jill sees the ghost of a terrified 19th-century servant girl. Peter believes in what she has seen but treats it as a scientific problem. He thinks that the stone walls have acted like a kind of recording tape to keep replaying this traumatic event and determines to use this ghostly event to further his team’s research.
