Yes I would love to see a video on the satanic panic as I was a teen at the time and going to different spots around the ft worth area in texas and seeing leftover ritual spots was crazy to come across as a teen growing up.
It was actually late 70s and early 80s that this all started. I was born in 1975. My first album I got was Shout at the Devil- Motley Crue. ACDC Sabbath Ozzy and the punk movement brought in the end of hippy drippy love and more into Vampire horror culture ghosts and ghouls and whatnot. Media was very much drilling these Horror movies and bands down our throat. Early 90s was more the begginging of Grunge and the end of Hair bands.
It’s scary to me that when I was 13 years old my friend group consisted of majority men ranging ages from 13 (same age as I was) to 40. We thought we were so cool cause these older, edgy guys wanted to hang out with us. I’m 30 now though, seems like forever ago. 2 of them have since been arrested for statutory rape now and 1 charged with domestic battery and child abuse soooooo
@@whendoesitend wow that's a little aggressive! Roger was only stating a reasonably well known fact! At no point was u or ur family accused/insulted!! Perhaps he was just trying to make people aware that social circles aren't the only concern when it comes to protecting children! I'm not aware of child molesters being outspoken and honest about it, even if they just inform family.. turns out they can be secretive and manipulative in order to hide Thier crimes, so probably best to keep and eye on anybody interacting with there kids, male/female/family! Better to be safe than sorry x
As a child in the early 90s I remember hearing adults talking about “satanists” who would steal cats and kill them up in the hills near my house (I grew up in Kentucky) and I would get chills. Every night I made sure my precious kitty Mars Blackman was safely in my bed before I went to sleep. It was a strange time to be a kid! RIP to those two dead men and the innocent animals. Humans can be amazing or absolute trash.
Thing is, that mostly wasn't happening. This was an isolated case of edgy weirdos emulating imaginary cults that paranoid parents were panicking about.
It was the same in Kansas in the late 80s, but everyone said blonde hair blue eyed children were the ones being sacrificed. Yet,no one ever really disappeared.
I grew up in eastern Canada and I dont remember much satanist or cult talk. but there was the rumor witches would steal black cats and people would sabotage Halloween candy. mom later told me this was just something she told us so she could go through our candy and take some things rude
So, let me get this straight.... he was against killing kids, but not r@ping them during these "ceremonies" 🙄how kind of him 🙄🙄🙄🙄 and never charged for it..i hate this world
I arrested a guy once for ADW with a hammer. After running his criminal history, I discovered he had been arrested in about 30 major US cities. During the lengthy booking process, he started complaining about being hungry. I offered him my food if he would tell me the stories behind his previous arrests. He agreed and told me how he traveled with carnivals and circuses, how every time he got arrested he’d do his time and jump in with another traveling circus or carnival. We talked for about an hour and a half about the crimes he was arrested for.
in the mid 80's i took my little sister in. We took her to a fair one year when she was 13 in Texas. My ex husband caught a carny stalking my little sister, i thought he was imagining it, but we acted like we didn't see him and he was behind or to the side of us. My husband snatched him up and told him to get lost. Knowing what I know now, we should have told the police. The carnival can be a dangerous place.
I was 10-17 in the 80s, in Indiana, during the height of Satanic Panic. It's was a trip, and super annoying. It was the media that got people paranoid, and drew kids to the darker side of things, ironically enough. Side note, there was a fear among parents that their kids would run away with the circus. That was actually a thing lol.
I have lived in Indiana my whole life and have never heard of this. I’m going to assume it’s because when this was happening I lived closer to Ohio so we always got Cincinnati news.
I was 9-19 during the 80's. I remember all the fear mongering with the Satanic Panic. I was fascinated by it. Not the evil, but the esoteric nature of the occult. I got information about Satan sent to me from churches advertising information about Satanism. It was a way of learning more about the subject. I took out books at the school library. I bought books and got a spirit board. The best thing I got from it was learning about herbal treatments. All that fear mongering did was make me want to do it more. Since the Bible is not fact, it is not literal therefore there isn't Satan, nothing happened because of my practice. I am still fascinated by the occult and what people believe they can do with it. I don't believe in a personal God but I am open to the possibility of an afterlife.
Another truly disturbing true tale. Its amazing how the one kid had limits and left the cult he had created only to become drawn back into another cult of far greater Evil than the one have left after creating.
I'm Australian, so we didn't go through the Satanic Panic thing, but heard about it all on the news. I was a teenager at the start of it, and a massive heavy metal fan ( still am, even as a 52 year old grandmother) ! I was also into Satanism and the "Black Arts", and still follow some of the beliefs to this day. But in no way whatsoever would I ever do anything like animal cruelty, or any type of sacrifice involving innocent people. That has nothing to do with the Church of Satan, or the Black Arts. The people that do these things are psychopaths, and use these things as an excuse for their disgusting and evil behaviour! They would more than likely done these types of horrific crimes anyway.
I was raised in a Christian cult (the IBLP) during the 90s era of Satanic Panic. The crazy was real even on a personal level. The Satanic Panic was widespread, but there's not a lot of talk about how it affected individuals and families. I wasn't allowed to watch Disney movies because they had magic. Pokemon were demons that possessed you with violence. No "rock" music was allowed, and in fact I had a CD that had an *instrumental* version of Unchained Melody on it, and that was taken away because it had some drum action in the final chorus and, as my mother said, "an off beat that can allow Satan to slip into your heart and take over." It was a miserable fucking existence because everything was evil and a gateway to devil worship. There's a damn good reason that I'm a very happy lesbian pagan now.
@@catherinegrace2366 They are 100% a corrupt, evil company, but that doesn't mean the Devil invades your soul after watching Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid or The Lion King.
@@juliecreaser878 There's a major, major difference between a conservative Christian home and a culty abuse hellscape. Don't act like you know my life. And of course I'm responsible for my choices now, and I take responsibility for them and when I make bad choices I do my best to fix it and do better. I'm happy as a person and proud of who I've become, and I don't blame my parents for anything except abusing my brother and I and permanently scarring our brain development as children. Is that okay? Can I blame them for their choices that hurt me, or was it my choice to be hurt by the abuse and stay in an abusive situation where I was beaten, belittled, gaslit, manipulated, lied to, neglected, starved, etc? I mean, I could have just left, right? At the tender age from birth to 13, I could have made the choice to escape my situation. And how dare you call a home of cultic abuse a "conservative Christian" home. That's a disgustingly twisted view.
I was a very devout member of a fundamentalist Baptist church during the Satanic panic (I was a youth, at the time). It’s very hard to express the level of fear (regarding that and Dungeons and Dragons) we had due to the sermons on those topics. I frequently had terrifying nightmares about demons during those years.
Hi, Sommer. Im from the Philippines and I really love your content. Tbh I was a Mr. Ballen fan but when I found and listened yours, it have gotten my interest. I love the way u story tell. Keep it up and hope u get to feature Filipino Crimes stories someday. Well surely love it. ❤❤❤❤
I just found your channel about 2 days ago, and I've binged so many of your videos! Your story telling is so good! I can see why your channel is growing so fast, you're awesome.
omg, I saw the carnival in the thumbnail & instantly thought Lobster Boy - pleasantly surprised that I was wrong😊👍🏾 I never heard of this case before & I always enjoy a case I never heard of before. the age range of the cult members is sickening - I can only imagine what the adults were doing to these lost youths & children. in my opinion, they got slaps on the wrist for taking a life. I dont think any of them deserved a second chance - they didn't give their victim a second chance!😠 ... also, I don't understand why pple always come for kittens & cats - they are always the sacrificial lambs. these poor kittens & cats💔
We lived by the fairgrounds sand my brother always got a job putting up and taking down the fair. One year he worked for Lobster Boy and he tried to get out if paying my brother who was 15 or 16. Trust me...he thought better when my dad went after him. He ended up paying my brother.
The Satanic panic reminded me of what the, Salem witch trials could have been like. Parents freaking out that if kids listened to Metal, they were Satanic. It was a real fear for some. Those of us who grew up during this time thought it was ridiculous. Churches really preached about what to look for. It was wild.
Record burnings, praying in tongues, having your head anointed in oil while you were sleeping because your parent were afraid of Satan's influence on you. Yeah I remember all that crap
This one definitely hits close to home.. Anthony Ault is one of my closest friends uncle. And I was told this story years ago when I was just a kid, about what happened to him and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.. part of me didn’t want to believe it was real and honestly I kind of forgot about it until this video.. it was such a tragedy to my buddy’s family. I Wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Even crazier is that when I went to college in Ohio, one of Anthony’s killers was housed in the prison not even a mile down the road from the house I was living in at the time.. I believe he is still currently there to this day as well.
I lived in DeKalb County outside of Auburn for over 20 years. This case is extremely well known in the area and brought up and thought about every year during the Free Fall Fair in September. I do presentations on urban legends and ghost stories in DeKalb every fall and someone always asks about this case. Most of the locals know where the ritual took place which is near a golf course on the north side of town. Great job covering it! You're correct, I never hear of this case except in DeKalb County where it is well known and still discussed almost 30 years later by the locals. Love your channel!
I'd LOVE to see your Satanic Panic video, because you seem to have a great way of researching, finding stuff others cannot find. I've been looking for documentaries on the Satanic Panic, ones that aren't about the alleged victims. I want to know more about the people accused and the lives ruined over it.
The 80’s cult hype was huge, everywhere! The Sally Jessy Rafael show, Oprah and Phil Donahue were filming these episodes all the time. Our ‘you are the father’ episodes was us learning which people were Cult Members. 🤦🏼♀️
Glad there is a warning about animals getting hurt, cause I swear - you can talk about heads rolling and guts splurting all day long, but mention one single dog, cat, bunny, and I am inconsolable. For days. Good video, as always .
I always go straight to comments as soon as a video starts. Glad I saw your comment. I don’t even need to hear the warning. I’m OUT. Literally will self destruct at the thought of an innocent in pain, so thank you and hope you have a blessed day!
I'm the same way! I love all animals so much because they have so much cuteness overload to give us! Animals have feelings too , and they're filled with love and true innocence! I hate the fact that some small helpless animals are very vulnerable to crazy killers! It makes me furious! I remember being on Twitter and someone tweeted a video of this sweet blue colored Pit bull. They were somewhere outside but anyway , people were surrounding around him to appreciate his beauty up close. People were talking to him and petting him and I could tell him and his human felt good. Then , along comes a little BayBay kid , like about 4 years old and the precious pooch was expecting to be petted and love but instead the kid was trying to hit him. The grown up wasn't telling him to stop and someone stepped in to keep that pooch safe. When other people started telling the kid to stop , then she call herself stepping in telling him to stop! And the other people started showing the little boy how animals should be treated and the grown up just standing watching and not even trying help the other people show the kid how animals should be treated! I was so angry when I watched that video! I just love animals so much!
@@nicolebrown1927 PITT BULLS get a bad rap, my daughter had a half pitt bull/golden retriever , nicest sweetest most gentle dog wagged her tail at everything .
Your voice is very soothing...your research is excellent as well...I almost fell asleep because of your voice (which is a compliment I have AWFUL anxiety and insomnia from PTSD and I loved listening to you your so descriptive and well spoken. Keep up the good work and thank you for the work yo put in
Brenda was probably scared to ask where he was. Especially knowing where she took them to and how secluded it was. I’m sure she didn’t want to be next lol
Media doesn't make people murder but it absolutely can have an impact on their mental state and contribute to their decision to engage in criminal activity. Ever hear the saying "you are what you consume"?
PLEASE DO THE WM3 STORY!! I’ve been asking all the people that make these stories (that I watch) to do one on them but no one has yet!! I used to live in West Memphis & I’ve studied that case so much that it would be so cool to see someone do a video on it & to get everyone else’s views & opinions as well!!
There's plenty of people on RUclips that have done videos on the case. You will find them if you did a search. Believe it or not RUclips has that function.
I went to high school in the early 90’s and I don’t remember the panic being a thing in the 90’s. I do remember the obsession with “end times” and the fear of Y2K. I knew people that withdrew money from their banks, saved all their info on floppys and external drives. People stocking up on food and water. Buying guns and ammunition. The 80’s though? I remember the panic was real. I was coming of age and witnessed the panic first hand. Our parent’s Fear over cults and rock music. The night stalker Richard Ramirez and teenage drug use and suicides increasing. The hate towards Ronald Reagan and the religious right hypocrisy. I think talk shows had a lot to do with spreading of fear. Geraldo, Sally Jesse Raphael, Morton Downey, and Phil Donahue. People playing with Ouija boards and some of my own friends dabbling with the occult.
So, I gotta ask...were you into any of the taboo subject materials, ie. Heavy metal, wearing lots of band t-shirts, or black, being generally creepy? I was class of 97, & up until my freshman year, I was guilty of pretty much all of the above, ({openly}, note, I was also in SE OK, so they may have just been stuck in late 80s Satanic Panic mindset) I decided to not be so outspoken on my backwards christian beliefs, & start buying more colorful attire, so I could date girls. I may actually still be discreetly even more creepy in the dark philosophy now, but I keep that on a need to know basis. Anyway, what I was getting at was, you said you didn't remember the panic being a thing in the 90s. As I recall, the whole thing was pretty much proven to be a total fabrication around 1992, (I was only 13, so I may be misremembering) but, I definitely remember the hypercritical scrutiny from small town Okies, up until 1996ish
Thank you, Sommer. I've watched a LOT of scary "amusement park" horrors, usually based on supernatural stuff. NO idea that there had been actual issues! Making coffee to watch this one.......
I just came across of your channel a couple weeks ago and was pulled in! This story evidently wasn’t to far from I live now, but just now am hearing about it.
Sommer, You might want to do a deep dive into the “Son of sam”. Fascinating story, Berkowitz, Carr brothers, rituals dating back decades with possible connections to powerful NYC pols. and powerbrokers.
At 13:43 the symbol shown is a pentacle, not a pentagram. Pentacle stars "point up" and are used by non-Satanic Wiccans/Pagans, and pentagram stars "point down" are are used as Satanic symbols. Important difference.
Honestly, this one should be turned into a movie...coming of age drama that slowly turns into a nightmare in the middle...focusing on the Anthony's character and his loneliness and want to belong. Could be a nice indie film.
But Anton Levey' s Satanism did not believe in the Devil. It was about autonomy and self actualisation. So though he had the Satanic Bible he was not practising that at all. Devil Worshippers are different to Satanists.
Ozzy and Black Sabbath were strictly speaking not Satanic despite basing a lot of their career and music around this subject. It was later 'black metal' bands such as Burzum and Mayhem who embodied this creed wholeheartedly rather than merely flirting with it. Ozzy and Sabbath's take on it was more in line with the way it was portrayed in Hammer horror films and Dennis Wheatley novels - basically they viewed it as a dangerous path that leads to madness and ultimate destruction. Songs such as 'war pigs' and 'black sabbath' acted as warnings against messing around with the occult and things you do not understand (which were popular social trends in the 70s and 80s) if you actually listen to the lyrics. Compared to what was to come later, much maligned bands of the time such as Judas priest, AC/DC and Iron Maiden were quite restrained and innocent by comparison
And I agree compared to the in your face Satanic Rock that's out there now, the early bands were tame and just good hard hitting music. BUT that's just my opinion 😉😉😉
Thank you for giving your subscribers pieces of history that we never would have heard of if it weren't for you! Girrrl, do yo thang Sommer! I told you that your channel was gonna rapidly pick up steam when I first became one of your subscribers and now here you are with SPONSORS😲! Go Sommer , go!💙🤗
Just finished a weekend of working at a county fair with a bunch of carnies. And formerly dated a carny earlier this year. Didn't realize I was potentially skirting that close to disaster. That being said, no I'm not going to stop associating with carnival/circus folk. In such circles is where I belong, honestly.
this is scary as f..... its crazy how in a very small age they are interested in this topic. thanks for sharing, how do you feel after you share this type of stories?
I just tested positive for Covid today (first time getting it after 3 years/double vaxxed). I feel awful, but I’ve been binging your videos and they are the only thing keeping me going right now. Thank you so much❤
Here’s what helps. Vitamin D and zinc pills. Helps out with immunity. Ny quill. Headache/fever pills. Vicks to put on your chest and a dab on nose to help to breathe. Keep room ventilated with airflow. Drink hot beverages such as tea or coffee. Hope you get better.
@@paulfranzen7810 only took two covid shots and no boosters. I learned the other tricks before we had all that but I hear people are getting sick and bad off after all these boosters and ect. It’s all been a crazy world. Wish it all wasn’t politicized
Great job on this video, sometimes a shorter one is nice.. definitely had not heard of this one or shadow man-- love that you don't do the same cases as many other youtubers
New subscriber here. I have never heard of this case. Thanks for covering it. I really like how you deliver the content. Those guys are POS's! They will pay a harsher punishment someday when they die. My heart goes out to the victim's family.
@@gorillaguerillaDK I'm almost 42 and grew up in the era when gangster rap started coming out. We all loved it but our parents were totally against it. We all listened anyway and it did not insight violent behavior. Same with the video games. And heavy metal. So I definitely think it's gotten way better.
I'm from Indiana and have visited all of the places mentioned in this story. In the 1990's, the only private school for troubled boys in Terre Haute that Keith would have been sent to was the Gibault School for Boys. Charles Manson was a resident at the same school decades before.
Cherie Lynn Emmons Maloney Brooks (killer of Vera Jo Reigle) also went to that school, after it included girls, and she was connected to serial killer William George Herons, who she supposedly met at this school.
People thinking Ozzy was getting kids into satanism at any time is absurd, but especially in the 90s😂 Guess they hadn't heard of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel etc, which is what I was introduced to in '93 by my ex-husband. Still didn't turn me into a satanist though🙄
Lol you gotta have mercyful fate/king diamond in there if you are talkin about Satan worship. Ozzy never worshipped Satan....king diamond did and still does lol
Were innocent people really punished though? Or was this like the "Red Scare" where it turns out almost everyone accused was actually guilty and it was just covered up by people that sympathized with the guilty?
This proves why I have always distrusted Carnies. Never met one that wasn’t a creep. Even witnessed a grown man of 30+ making sexual gestures at a group of 9 year old girls.
I'm married to one-- a lot of them have trauma histories and joined young. Unfortunately trauma can make a normal jerk into a fucking asshole sometimes.
Please cover the Krugersdorp killings (South Africa) really terrible cult responsible for the murder of several people. A person who has changed her identity after being a key witness to convict the accused. A false death certificate of one of the cult members and insurance fraud. You'd do well covering this horrific case. May all the families of the victims find healing and peace.
cults are my hyperfixation and I love your channel so much. I love your voice and the clarity with which you talk, the details you invest in, you don't try to rush the video by speaking too fast and unnecessary animations and "creepy background music", you don't make insensitive jokes and you cover the mental health aspects too. love ya :3
Okay but I totally disagree with the West Memphis 3 case. I was an ardent supporter of them at the beginning but after some research (A LOT of research) and I saw all of the things that were left out of the documentary, I realized I was duped. They interviewed a lot of suspects and the boys were not on their radar for some time. It wasn't due to satanic panic. There are a lot of people in the region that practice the Wicca religion or satanism (more so than u would think). It was due to the fact that Echols had some very disturbing habits including the killing of animals and bullying/stalking of local children. They also were not acquitted or exonerated as everyone said. They took an Alfred Plea which basically says they aren't saying they're guilty but rather that enough evidence exists that they likely would have been found guilty at trial. They took the deal for immediate release instead of risking another trial. This was likely done to shut their supporters up. Its sad and again I used to support them and still believe that an unholy amount of people are in prison despite being innocent. HBO framed the whole documentary to make it appear that a God fearing town attacked them for wearing black. Read 'A Case Against the West Memphis 3." Its very underrated but incredibly informative. Be careful what u read or watch. Its not always how u think it is. The only one I could think may be innocent would be Jason Baldwin. The other two (and possibly one more who was never even brought up in the documentary) definitely
Hi Sommer, I haven't heard of this case before...Thank You for this video, in which You did a Fantastic job ( as always) HAPPY EASTER TO YOU SOMMER AND FAMILY, AND TO ALL YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AS WELL. 🎉PAMELA I DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL DO A CASE ABOUT THE "SATANIC PANIC".
Music, games and TV shows sure don't _make_ people murderes or satanists or whatever, but they still have an influence one way or the other, especially on young impressionable kids. I mean, the first kid started to look into satanic symbols because he saw them on an album cover at first, right? There are underlying issues, but we can't deny that outside influences and exposure to certain ideas that align with interests contributes to the "final product". That's why ratings are a thing, some things are better not be consumed at a certain age.
Wow very interesting vid. I’ve never heard of this particular case, really really insane! Why did Mark try to cut his heart out? Tell me he’s playing with a full deck. It’s really crazy to think that there are many more people like them still out among the rest of us. I’d love you doing more vids on The Satanic Panic if you can, would love seeing more of your work. Until then take care, be safe. Peace!
I was an elementary school kid during the panic. I remember my mother destroying the metal music cassettes my siblings had. It was such mass stupidity.
I've known quite a few carnies in my life. They are always on the outside of culture which made it easy to point them and just say well it's their fault. However one of them did turn out to be a pedo. They absolutely did not let him back after this was discovered.
Just found your channel today and love what you're doing here. As I mentioned in another comment, I was a kid/pre-teen during the height of the Satanic Panic (honestly, you might need to do a series on the Satanic Panic, considering the insane troll logic pretzels that people tied themselves into over the whole thing. The sad case of James Dallas Egbert is a good place to start, or just be one vid on the whole "Dungeons & Dragons is the devil!" thing which some people might recognize from Stranger Things 4). It is something I do not remember fondly at worst, and at best, I sit back on my heels and shake my head over. I think I remember hearing about this case, though some of the particulars escaped me.
It was freaking bullshit hysteria propagated by delusional fundamentalists And Gunderson was always sketchy and always seemed like he owed people money, check into his FBI files. He played into the hysteria
I was needing a new channel to watch I was sick of all the shit I was watching. Love the videos girl well done. Great research and keeping me enamored and needing more. I'm happy I found your channel.
Please do a video on satanic panic! I appreciate all of the content you put out. I'm a pre-law student & I am highly impressed. Especially with the amount of knowledge you have about cases you talk about & how much time you spend reaching them. I'll continue to support your channel any way I can. 💗
I know the very basics on what the satanic panic was about. But that people blamed certain music genres and Ozzy Osbourne??? Wow, the madness! Do an indepth piece on the satanic panic, Summer! That would be so interesting!

Yes I would love to see a video on the satanic panic as I was a teen at the time and going to different spots around the ft worth area in texas and seeing leftover ritual spots was crazy to come across as a teen growing up.
I wish Casetify did more android cases. There are more now than they used to have.

@WHENDOESITEND? The majority of SA against children is committed by relatives.
Not strangers.
You need to look up the facts dude.

I'm not aware of child molesters being outspoken and honest about it, even if they just inform family.. turns out they can be secretive and manipulative in order to hide Thier crimes, so probably best to keep and eye on anybody interacting with there kids, male/female/family!

Feel like after listening to this story that was a pretty rational fear🤣
I was 5 to 15 in the 80's... how did you lose 3 years in the 80's?? Lol
I was 9-19 during the 80's. I remember all the fear mongering with the Satanic Panic. I was fascinated by it. Not the evil, but the esoteric nature of the occult. I got information about Satan sent to me from churches advertising information about Satanism. It was a way of learning more about the subject. I took out books at the school library. I bought books and got a spirit board. The best thing I got from it was learning about herbal treatments. All that fear mongering did was make me want to do it more. Since the Bible is not fact, it is not literal therefore there isn't Satan, nothing happened because of my practice. I am still fascinated by the occult and what people believe they can do with it. I don't believe in a personal God but I am open to the possibility of an afterlife.
Another truly disturbing true tale. Its amazing how the one kid had limits and left the cult he had created only to become drawn back into another cult of far greater Evil than the one have left after creating.
When bro's got a van called rigor Mortis you know he's the real deal. 💯💪
Stop it. I'm not evil. Mark is just stupid.
@@peterj5106 That van was trash when I bought it.
@@basanistes359 look at the actions committed by this cult it was all evil then to leave the cult create another more evil than the one he left.
I'm Australian, so we didn't go through the Satanic Panic thing, but heard about it all on the news. I was a teenager at the start of it, and a massive heavy metal fan ( still am, even as a 52 year old grandmother) !
I was also into Satanism and the "Black Arts", and still follow some of the beliefs to this day. But in no way whatsoever would I ever do anything like animal cruelty, or any type of sacrifice involving innocent people. That has nothing to do with the Church of Satan, or the Black Arts. The people that do these things are psychopaths, and use these things as an excuse for their disgusting and evil behaviour! They would more than likely done these types of horrific crimes anyway.
I was raised in a Christian cult (the IBLP) during the 90s era of Satanic Panic. The crazy was real even on a personal level. The Satanic Panic was widespread, but there's not a lot of talk about how it affected individuals and families. I wasn't allowed to watch Disney movies because they had magic. Pokemon were demons that possessed you with violence. No "rock" music was allowed, and in fact I had a CD that had an *instrumental* version of Unchained Melody on it, and that was taken away because it had some drum action in the final chorus and, as my mother said, "an off beat that can allow Satan to slip into your heart and take over." It was a miserable fucking existence because everything was evil and a gateway to devil worship. There's a damn good reason that I'm a very happy lesbian pagan now.
Make of it what you will; Disney is a horrible company. Horrible.
@@catherinegrace2366 They are 100% a corrupt, evil company, but that doesn't mean the Devil invades your soul after watching Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid or The Lion King.
I don’t think being brought up in a conservative Christian home is responsible for your life choices …. Only you are.
@@juliecreaser878 There's a major, major difference between a conservative Christian home and a culty abuse hellscape. Don't act like you know my life. And of course I'm responsible for my choices now, and I take responsibility for them and when I make bad choices I do my best to fix it and do better. I'm happy as a person and proud of who I've become, and I don't blame my parents for anything except abusing my brother and I and permanently scarring our brain development as children. Is that okay? Can I blame them for their choices that hurt me, or was it my choice to be hurt by the abuse and stay in an abusive situation where I was beaten, belittled, gaslit, manipulated, lied to, neglected, starved, etc? I mean, I could have just left, right? At the tender age from birth to 13, I could have made the choice to escape my situation. And how dare you call a home of cultic abuse a "conservative Christian" home. That's a disgustingly twisted view.
Yay for pagan lesbians!
I was a very devout member of a fundamentalist Baptist church during the Satanic panic (I was a youth, at the time). It’s very hard to express the level of fear (regarding that and Dungeons and Dragons) we had due to the sermons on those topics. I frequently had terrifying nightmares about demons during those years.
Ditto. SO much.
Do it! Do a satanic panic video!!!
Thirding!! (If there is such a thing) lol
The panic is REeaal! You just have to get past the first 32/33 degrees and then at the end of it all... that’s where you will find the white rabbit 🐇
❤ ruclips.net/video/Mg4zRfukagk/видео.html haha
Yessss!!!
Yes
My ex husband’s name is mark goodwin and he grew up in that area of Indiana…I almost shat myself when I heard this story!!
Oooh nooo lol 🤦🏿♀️🫠 my hubby's name is Marc too ❤
My brother spent two and half years in jail in the early 90's for something that never even happened because of satanic panic.
Hi, Sommer. Im from the Philippines and I really love your content. Tbh I was a Mr. Ballen fan but when I found and listened yours, it have gotten my interest. I love the way u story tell. Keep it up and hope u get to feature Filipino Crimes stories someday. Well surely love it. ❤❤❤❤
I just found your channel about 2 days ago, and I've binged so many of your videos! Your story telling is so good! I can see why your channel is growing so fast, you're awesome.
I wanna watch her video but then she’ll start doing different videos and then start doing makeup 😅
@cartoonhistory353. Yea, gotya. Afterwards probably use your toothbrush before making a complete mess of reverse parking your car too.
Thanks for this! Never heard about this story until now. The “Satanic Panic” was a bizarre period and would be a great topic to cover.
This story is BS. I'm one of them so I know.
omg, I saw the carnival in the thumbnail & instantly thought Lobster Boy - pleasantly surprised that I was wrong😊👍🏾 I never heard of this case before & I always enjoy a case I never heard of before. the age range of the cult members is sickening - I can only imagine what the adults were doing to these lost youths & children. in my opinion, they got slaps on the wrist for taking a life. I dont think any of them deserved a second chance - they didn't give their victim a second chance!😠 ... also, I don't understand why pple always come for kittens & cats - they are always the sacrificial lambs. these poor kittens & cats💔
We lived by the fairgrounds sand my brother always got a job putting up and taking down the fair. One year he worked for Lobster Boy and he tried to get out if paying my brother who was 15 or 16. Trust me...he thought better when my dad went after him. He ended up paying my brother.
I lived in one of the major cities in Ohio in the early 90’s and I remember always hearing about the satanic covens in the small country towns.
The Satanic panic reminded me of what the, Salem witch trials could have been like. Parents freaking out that if kids listened to Metal, they were Satanic. It was a real fear for some. Those of us who grew up during this time thought it was ridiculous. Churches really preached about what to look for. It was wild.
Record burnings, praying in tongues, having your head anointed in oil while you were sleeping because your parent were afraid of Satan's influence on you. Yeah I remember all that crap
The ‘80s sound like a nightmare than nostalgia. I wasn’t born back then, but do people really forget ALL of the bad shit back then?
Well .. there were kids who got into Satanism because of heavy metal. It is pretty naive to think that none did.
@@mda037 so what?
@@antisocialal4799 in many ways it was a strange bizarre nightmare back then and no not all of us have forgotten the bad
Ozzie was so young looking back then.
8 years for committing premeditated murder is absolutely outrageous.
This one definitely hits close to home.. Anthony Ault is one of my closest friends uncle. And I was told this story years ago when I was just a kid, about what happened to him and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.. part of me didn’t want to believe it was real and honestly I kind of forgot about it until this video.. it was such a tragedy to my buddy’s family. I Wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Even crazier is that when I went to college in Ohio, one of Anthony’s killers was housed in the prison not even a mile down the road from the house I was living in at the time.. I believe he is still currently there to this day as well.
If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck and even looks like a duck it's usually a duck!
Or a demented chicken
What does that have to do with anything ??
I lived in DeKalb County outside of Auburn for over 20 years. This case is extremely well known in the area and brought up and thought about every year during the Free Fall Fair in September.
I do presentations on urban legends and ghost stories in DeKalb every fall and someone always asks about this case. Most of the locals know where the ritual took place which is near a golf course on the north side of town.
Great job covering it! You're correct, I never hear of this case except in DeKalb County where it is well known and still discussed almost 30 years later by the locals.
Love your channel!
Is this involved with gypsy Hill in butler
I lived in auburn for a few years and I was weirdly unaware this happened I did go to school in auburn for a minute
I'd LOVE to see your Satanic Panic video, because you seem to have a great way of researching, finding stuff others cannot find.
I've been looking for documentaries on the Satanic Panic, ones that aren't about the alleged victims. I want to know more about the people accused and the lives ruined over it.
The 80’s cult hype was huge, everywhere! The Sally Jessy Rafael show, Oprah and Phil Donahue were filming these episodes all the time. Our ‘you are the father’ episodes was us learning which people were Cult Members. 🤦🏼♀️
😂😂😂😂Geraldo calling him Oz after asking him that crap! He was so slimy! Like he thought Ozzy was going to say "Yes"? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Glad there is a warning about animals getting hurt, cause I swear - you can talk about heads rolling and guts splurting all day long, but mention one single dog, cat, bunny, and I am inconsolable. For days.
Good video, as always .
Me too @tank girl. I ff during animal cruelty
Funny i am the same way and question myself if it is normal to be more upset when the animals get murdered then when people do.
I always go straight to comments as soon as a video starts. Glad I saw your comment. I don’t even need to hear the warning. I’m OUT. Literally will self destruct at the thought of an innocent in pain, so thank you and hope you have a blessed day!
I'm the same way! I love all animals so much because they have so much cuteness overload to give us! Animals have feelings too , and they're filled with love and true innocence! I hate the fact that some small helpless animals are very vulnerable to crazy killers! It makes me furious!
I remember being on Twitter and someone tweeted a video of this sweet blue colored Pit bull. They were somewhere outside but anyway , people were surrounding around him to appreciate his beauty up close. People were talking to him and petting him and I could tell him and his human felt good. Then , along comes a little BayBay kid , like about 4 years old and the precious pooch was expecting to be petted and love but instead the kid was trying to hit him. The grown up wasn't telling him to stop and someone stepped in to keep that pooch safe. When other people started telling the kid to stop , then she call herself stepping in telling him to stop! And the other people started showing the little boy how animals should be treated and the grown up just standing watching and not even trying help the other people show the kid how animals should be treated! I was so angry when I watched that video! I just love animals so much!
@@nicolebrown1927 PITT BULLS get a bad rap, my daughter had a half pitt bull/golden retriever , nicest sweetest most gentle dog wagged her tail at everything .
Your voice is very soothing...your research is excellent as well...I almost fell asleep because of your voice (which is a compliment I have AWFUL anxiety and insomnia from PTSD and I loved listening to you your so descriptive and well spoken. Keep up the good work and thank you for the work yo put in
Brenda was probably scared to ask where he was. Especially knowing where she took them to and how secluded it was. I’m sure she didn’t want to be next lol
Media doesn't make people murder but it absolutely can have an impact on their mental state and contribute to their decision to engage in criminal activity. Ever hear the saying "you are what you consume"?
PLEASE DO THE WM3 STORY!! I’ve been asking all the people that make these stories (that I watch) to do one on them but no one has yet!! I used to live in West Memphis & I’ve studied that case so much that it would be so cool to see someone do a video on it & to get everyone else’s views & opinions as well!!
Crime Weekly just did a 3 part very detailed video on the WM 3
It was awesome!
There's plenty of people on RUclips that have done videos on the case.
You will find them if you did a search. Believe it or not RUclips has that function.
I went to high school in the early 90’s and I don’t remember the panic being a thing in the 90’s. I do remember the obsession with “end times” and the fear of Y2K. I knew people that withdrew money from their banks, saved all their info on floppys and external drives. People stocking up on food and water. Buying guns and ammunition.
The 80’s though? I remember the panic was real. I was coming of age and witnessed the panic first hand. Our parent’s Fear over cults and rock music. The night stalker Richard Ramirez and teenage drug use and suicides increasing. The hate towards Ronald Reagan and the religious right hypocrisy. I think talk shows had a lot to do with spreading of fear. Geraldo, Sally Jesse Raphael, Morton Downey, and Phil Donahue. People playing with Ouija boards and some of my own friends dabbling with the occult.
The 80s would be clutching their end time pearls if they saw society today 😂
So, I gotta ask...were you into any of the taboo subject materials, ie. Heavy metal, wearing lots of band t-shirts, or black, being generally creepy? I was class of 97, & up until my freshman year, I was guilty of pretty much all of the above, ({openly}, note, I was also in SE OK, so they may have just been stuck in late 80s Satanic Panic mindset) I decided to not be so outspoken on my backwards christian beliefs, & start buying more colorful attire, so I could date girls. I may actually still be discreetly even more creepy in the dark philosophy now, but I keep that on a need to know basis. Anyway, what I was getting at was, you said you didn't remember the panic being a thing in the 90s. As I recall, the whole thing was pretty much proven to be a total fabrication around 1992, (I was only 13, so I may be misremembering) but, I definitely remember the hypercritical scrutiny from small town Okies, up until 1996ish
Thank you, Sommer. I've watched a LOT of scary "amusement park" horrors, usually based on supernatural stuff. NO idea that there had been actual issues! Making coffee to watch this one.......
Satánic panic was crazy in Italy too. I remember a lot of cases from the 90's
Interesting. I'd like to know more about this.
So glad you’re back. Looking forward to your videos all week
You have some killer stories seriously im glued
The best strategy of satan has been convincing the world he doesn't exist
I just came across of your channel a couple weeks ago and was pulled in! This story evidently wasn’t to far from I live now, but just now am hearing about it.
I really really appreciated your trigger warning for animal abuse. Other channels don’t take the care or are ignorant. I will be subscribing.
Sommer, You might want to do a deep dive into the “Son of sam”. Fascinating story, Berkowitz, Carr brothers, rituals dating back decades with possible connections to powerful NYC pols. and powerbrokers.
At 13:43 the symbol shown is a pentacle, not a pentagram. Pentacle stars "point up" and are used by non-Satanic Wiccans/Pagans, and pentagram stars "point down" are are used as Satanic symbols. Important difference.
Don't get your pentacles in a twist
No actual pagan religion uses pentacles _or_ pentagrams. They're both cringe new-age LARP / Mosaic nonsense.
The terms are interchangeable and it's not important at all, wicca and satanism is about as important as pokemon.
Honestly, this one should be turned into a movie...coming of age drama that slowly turns into a nightmare in the middle...focusing on the Anthony's character and his loneliness and want to belong. Could be a nice indie film.
But Anton Levey' s Satanism did not believe in the Devil. It was about autonomy and self actualisation. So though he had the Satanic Bible he was not practising that at all. Devil Worshippers are different to Satanists.
Not according to the Bible. Which I'm assuming your not very familiar with. I may be wrong. Just an assumption
He did in fact worship Satan
Yes! A full Satanic Panic video would be great.
I agree!
Ozzy and Black Sabbath were strictly speaking not Satanic despite basing a lot of their career and music around this subject. It was later 'black metal' bands such as Burzum and Mayhem who embodied this creed wholeheartedly rather than merely flirting with it. Ozzy and Sabbath's take on it was more in line with the way it was portrayed in Hammer horror films and Dennis Wheatley novels - basically they viewed it as a dangerous path that leads to madness and ultimate destruction. Songs such as 'war pigs' and 'black sabbath' acted as warnings against messing around with the occult and things you do not understand (which were popular social trends in the 70s and 80s) if you actually listen to the lyrics. Compared to what was to come later, much maligned bands of the time such as Judas priest, AC/DC and Iron Maiden were quite restrained and innocent by comparison
Actually 'War Pig' is an antiwar song😉😉😉
And I agree compared to the in your face Satanic Rock that's out there now, the early bands were tame and just good hard hitting music. BUT that's just my opinion 😉😉😉
@@parkercg89That is my all time favourite song.
Thank you for giving your subscribers pieces of history that we never would have heard of if it weren't for you!
Girrrl, do yo thang Sommer!
I told you that your channel was gonna rapidly pick up steam when I first became one of your subscribers and now here you are with SPONSORS😲! Go Sommer , go!💙🤗
Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
I lived it
I knew she was going to blow up too. She has a gift for story telling and sticking to the facts.
Give praise but don't lie. You only don't know history because you don't look at it.
I like watching old Unsolved Mysteries episodes and the satanic panic is overwhelming.
Ive never heard of this case. Very scary and interesting. I have children, we go to fairs so this was a reminder to always be extra safe. Thank you.
Another amazing video! Thank you Sommer ❤
Geez i watch a ton of true rime, however i never heard of this particular crime. I enjoy your format you are very good at this !
Summer can you please do a show on Nithyananda Cult? It is so interesting and is still happening today.
Just finished a weekend of working at a county fair with a bunch of carnies. And formerly dated a carny earlier this year. Didn't realize I was potentially skirting that close to disaster. That being said, no I'm not going to stop associating with carnival/circus folk. In such circles is where I belong, honestly.
this is scary as f..... its crazy how in a very small age they are interested in this topic. thanks for sharing, how do you feel after you share this type of stories?
a video about the satanic panic would be great!!
Thanks Sommer! Just sat down to relax and I love watching your videos ❤ keep up the great work and awesome content
I just tested positive for Covid today (first time getting it after 3 years/double vaxxed). I feel awful, but I’ve been binging your videos and they are the only thing keeping me going right now. Thank you so much❤
Wow. I hope that you feel better. Drink lots of water and don’t sleep on your back.
Here’s what helps. Vitamin D and zinc pills. Helps out with immunity. Ny quill. Headache/fever pills. Vicks to put on your chest and a dab on nose to help to breathe. Keep room ventilated with airflow. Drink hot beverages such as tea or coffee. Hope you get better.
Hope you're feeling better my friend
I never got a covid shot and the crazy part is I haven't even had sniffles since at least 2020.
@@paulfranzen7810 only took two covid shots and no boosters. I learned the other tricks before we had all that but I hear people are getting sick and bad off after all these boosters and ect. It’s all been a crazy world. Wish it all wasn’t politicized
Great job on this video, sometimes a shorter one is nice.. definitely had not heard of this one or shadow man-- love that you don't do the same cases as many other youtubers
5:20
I love Ozzies absolutely DONE expression he has on his face.
New subscriber here. I have never heard of this case. Thanks for covering it. I really like how you deliver the content. Those guys are POS's! They will pay a harsher punishment someday when they die. My heart goes out to the victim's family.
I can’t stop thinking of South Park Woodland Critter Christmas.
Saying Ozzy is responsible is like saying rap causes violence. I'm so glad we have moved past those ideas.
LOL
If only!
@@gorillaguerillaDK I'm almost 42 and grew up in the era when gangster rap started coming out. We all loved it but our parents were totally against it. We all listened anyway and it did not insight violent behavior. Same with the video games. And heavy metal. So I definitely think it's gotten way better.
It actually does cause violence and problems in our community. Black people with sense are seeing the effects of it.
@@kaydiglawson7767 so basically you only said that because you enjoy the genre? You should probably go back and listen to those lyrics 😂
I always liked the ones who actually named the guys they popped in their rap lyrics. Not violent at all. 😅
This video just showed up on my feed. I’m glad I clicked it. It was very well done. You got a new sub.
Crime weekly is doing a deep dive into the Memphis 3, episode 4 just came out
I'm from Indiana and have visited all of the places mentioned in this story. In the 1990's, the only private school for troubled boys in Terre Haute that Keith would have been sent to was the Gibault School for Boys. Charles Manson was a resident at the same school decades before.
Cherie Lynn Emmons Maloney Brooks (killer of Vera Jo Reigle) also went to that school, after it included girls, and she was connected to serial killer William George Herons, who she supposedly met at this school.
I like that idea! 😊 A video on the satanic panic would be fun and interesting.
Ozzy is not to blame.
If they listened to the lyrics they would hear a different message, willful ignorance i guess .
People thinking Ozzy was getting kids into satanism at any time is absurd, but especially in the 90s😂 Guess they hadn't heard of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel etc, which is what I was introduced to in '93 by my ex-husband. Still didn't turn me into a satanist though🙄
Yeah don't blame Ozzy, everyone knows Rick Ashley and NKOTB were the most devilish thing around
Lol you gotta have mercyful fate/king diamond in there if you are talkin about Satan worship. Ozzy never worshipped Satan....king diamond did and still does lol
I still listen to Diary of a Madman on repeat!!
Were innocent people really punished though? Or was this like the "Red Scare" where it turns out almost everyone accused was actually guilty and it was just covered up by people that sympathized with the guilty?
Yes.
Yup you got my sub. And no I had never heard of this case? Great job on the video.
This proves why I have always distrusted Carnies. Never met one that wasn’t a creep. Even witnessed a grown man of 30+ making sexual gestures at a group of 9 year old girls.
I'm married to one-- a lot of them have trauma histories and joined young. Unfortunately trauma can make a normal jerk into a fucking asshole sometimes.
The Carny Cult...Sounds absolutely creepy. I'm ready for this one.
Sommer Sunday! 🖤
Yesss!!!
I definitely love the intro. Simple, straightforward and quick ! ❤🎉
Edit: I just found your channel.
Please cover the Krugersdorp killings (South Africa) really terrible cult responsible for the murder of several people. A person who has changed her identity after being a key witness to convict the accused. A false death certificate of one of the cult members and insurance fraud. You'd do well covering this horrific case. May all the families of the victims find healing and peace.
Anyone who listens to a murder documentary and requires a trigger warning because of animal cruelty, is an absolute tool.
I don't trust anyone who's ok with abusing animals. Animals are just as innocent as children.
cults are my hyperfixation and I love your channel so much. I love your voice and the clarity with which you talk, the details you invest in, you don't try to rush the video by speaking too fast and unnecessary animations and "creepy background music", you don't make insensitive jokes and you cover the mental health aspects too. love ya :3
Okay but I totally disagree with the West Memphis 3 case. I was an ardent supporter of them at the beginning but after some research (A LOT of research) and I saw all of the things that were left out of the documentary, I realized I was duped. They interviewed a lot of suspects and the boys were not on their radar for some time. It wasn't due to satanic panic. There are a lot of people in the region that practice the Wicca religion or satanism (more so than u would think). It was due to the fact that Echols had some very disturbing habits including the killing of animals and bullying/stalking of local children. They also were not acquitted or exonerated as everyone said. They took an Alfred Plea which basically says they aren't saying they're guilty but rather that enough evidence exists that they likely would have been found guilty at trial. They took the deal for immediate release instead of risking another trial. This was likely done to shut their supporters up. Its sad and again I used to support them and still believe that an unholy amount of people are in prison despite being innocent. HBO framed the whole documentary to make it appear that a God fearing town attacked them for wearing black. Read 'A Case Against the West Memphis 3." Its very underrated but incredibly informative. Be careful what u read or watch. Its not always how u think it is. The only one I could think may be innocent would be Jason Baldwin. The other two (and possibly one more who was never even brought up in the documentary) definitely
"In their free time, they meet up for Satan stuff..."
I laughed so hard!!!
Im calling BS on that first "cult"
Hi Sommer, I haven't heard of this case before...Thank You for this video, in which You did a Fantastic job ( as always)
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU SOMMER AND FAMILY, AND TO ALL YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AS WELL.
🎉PAMELA
I DO HOPE THAT YOU WILL DO A CASE ABOUT THE "SATANIC PANIC".
Music, games and TV shows sure don't _make_ people murderes or satanists or whatever, but they still have an influence one way or the other, especially on young impressionable kids. I mean, the first kid started to look into satanic symbols because he saw them on an album cover at first, right? There are underlying issues, but we can't deny that outside influences and exposure to certain ideas that align with interests contributes to the "final product". That's why ratings are a thing, some things are better not be consumed at a certain age.
Wow very interesting vid. I’ve never heard of this particular case, really really insane! Why did Mark try to cut his heart out? Tell me he’s playing with a full deck. It’s really crazy to think that there are many more people like them still out among the rest of us. I’d love you doing more vids on The Satanic Panic if you can, would love seeing more of your work. Until then take care, be safe. Peace!
I was an elementary school kid during the panic. I remember my mother destroying the metal music cassettes my siblings had. It was such mass stupidity.
I love how people think satanism is about worshipping Satan. Satanism is atheism with a floor show.
I've known quite a few carnies in my life. They are always on the outside of culture which made it easy to point them and just say well it's their fault. However one of them did turn out to be a pedo. They absolutely did not let him back after this was discovered.
Just found your channel today and love what you're doing here. As I mentioned in another comment, I was a kid/pre-teen during the height of the Satanic Panic (honestly, you might need to do a series on the Satanic Panic, considering the insane troll logic pretzels that people tied themselves into over the whole thing. The sad case of James Dallas Egbert is a good place to start, or just be one vid on the whole "Dungeons & Dragons is the devil!" thing which some people might recognize from Stranger Things 4). It is something I do not remember fondly at worst, and at best, I sit back on my heels and shake my head over. I think I remember hearing about this case, though some of the particulars escaped me.
I haven't heard many dive into the McMartin Preschool situation. I'm hoping someone will get into it in detail. It's so freaking wild!
Ted Gunderson. You can probably find his videos online.
It was freaking bullshit hysteria propagated by delusional fundamentalists
And Gunderson was always sketchy and always seemed like he owed people money, check into his FBI files. He played into the hysteria
Do you have a podcast? Your voice is so easy to listen to. I listen to podcasts a lot at work and I could listen to you tell me stories all night. Lol
I'm late to the video today, but definitely excited to hear about it!
I vote yes for the satanic panic video.
Thank you for the content 🫶🏼
Hermana Sanchez, I stumbled across your channel & I'm hooked! You have great content 👍
Think about it people your soul is not yours to sell or bargain with your soul is part of the CREATOR but one has the free will to do as will
I was needing a new channel to watch I was sick of all the shit I was watching. Love the videos girl well done. Great research and keeping me enamored and needing more. I'm happy I found your channel.
Please do a video on satanic panic! I appreciate all of the content you put out. I'm a pre-law student & I am highly impressed. Especially with the amount of knowledge you have about cases you talk about & how much time you spend reaching them. I'll continue to support your channel any way I can. 💗
You are an amazingly talented journalist!
if west memphis three case intrigues anyone, crime weekly podcast is going through it atm. part 4 was updated today!
Check out the story of Justin Sledge of the channel Esoterica
Another great video! You put yourself in everyone's shoes and point out every angle . Really cool.
And yes, satanic panic video!
I know the very basics on what the satanic panic was about. But that people blamed certain music genres and Ozzy Osbourne??? Wow, the madness! Do an indepth piece on the satanic panic, Summer! That would be so interesting!
I really enjoy your videos! I honestly feel. Like you have a million subs based off the quality of your videos.
The confinement charge was probably because the victim was tied down but didn't really matter after securing a murder charge.
