CHARLES MANSON STORIES w/ Scott Michaels of DEARLY DEPARTED

[@adamthewoo]

Dearly Departed and Scott are great . Very dark stuff but great that history is being preserved on this level

[@scottmichaels2860]

Aw, thanks Adam. You are the best. Loving your new stuff.

[@scanlon1201]

adamthewoo I know if I ever get to go L.A someday I'm going take his dearly departed tours

[@frankzito1660]

If you are in LA and enjoy tours, Scott provides the most thorough tour with the most factual detail. Plus he's just a facinating guy to talk to and learn from. You'll never forget the experience.

[@ccn9001]

@@frankzito1660 I love Scott! Best tours hands down in LA!

[@melissalove2463]

My husband briefly worked for Jay Sebring. He was a Vietnam veteran, ship's barber. He said that Jay always called him "Pretty Boy." He hated that!

[@paularyche]

What a compliment, coming from Jay who was a Hottie himself.

[@denis65]

I took the Dearly Departed Tour a couple of years ago at the old location. I got to meet and talk to Scott while I was there. He was a cool guy and very witty. Haven't had a chance to take the Helter Skelter tour yet. The documentary is very good

[@frankzito1660]

Scott is a great guy. Best tour guide in Los Angeles. Fun guy to talk to and THE authority on anything regarding Manson.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Scott Michaels consistently does excellent work. Such an intelligent man he is.

[@raven_ous2585]

People say that Bugliosi made up Helter skelter, but it was written in Leno La Bianca's blood on his fridge . So it obviously existed

[@jamesrieker4370]

Scott Michaels is fantastic!! His museum and tours are awesome!!

[@philging]

In 1997 I was on a private tour of Corcoran State Prison in California and stood in Charles Manson's cell in a high security area called The Shu - Charlie wasn't home that day because he was locked up in solitary confinement for possession of drugs. Sirhan Sirhan - the man who shot Robert Kennedy was in the cell next door.

[@Thomas116-m2n]

This was great! Scott is brilliant. I'd love to take that tour and see the museum sometime. I own the DVD and it's really good. You did a wonderful job on the interview, as well, with very insightful questions.

[@angelaw.325]

Just rewatching this today. You 2 are so stinking cute with these blogs. I’m still 80% housebound and these help so much.

[@tinahaley9936]

Jordan, you are awesome you need to have your own Hollywood museum.

[@chamberpaint]

I was living with Frank Zappa at the house you filmed during the Manson murders. Gail hired a gigantic bodyguard to stay with us for several days. I filled the dining room bay window with all of Moons stuffed animals, and we left the radio blaring all night, with the lights on. If anyone just stood there staring, they'd KNOW it was nothing. So lame! But it was better than Gail Moon and Janet & me stuffing ourselves into the car and driving to LasVegas, which was what Gail WANTED to do. Frank was in Montreal, and told her to just calm down,hire the bodyguard, and go to bed. Then the LaBiancas were murdered. We stayed in the house, kept the bodyguard, and ate pancakes. Not lyin'...people were scared.

[@moondancerose7930]

Darn lucky chica! Frank was hot.

[@North49191]

suuuure you did

[@davidhailstone7794]

Did everyone sit around and talk about how Charlie Manson was doing, like all the other people in Laurel Canyon at that time? I mean, he was so well known. Used to turn up at Elen Naomi Cohen's (AKA Mama Cass Eliot) house with the skanks and droogies, and everyone knew them. Maybe Frank's house too. What collective amnesia there was after the murders amongst the duplicitous celebrities. Those still alive still know nothing. Amazing.

[@RockNRoll-yz7ly]

Scott Michaels in the nicest guy. Love his museum!

[@mynameisvna]

Great interview! So much to see there. Always learning something new about the Manson case. So intriguing.

[@mikeday62]

In 1992 I drove up Goler Wash, a remote and rough 4wd road just southwest of the southern end of Death Valley N.P. and found the old ranch buildings used as a hideout by Manson and followers right after the Tate-Labianca murders. When I arrived, there wasn't much to see but an old cabin with windows and a shed, both in semi-decent condition with a hand painted 'keep out' sign. The sun baked body shell of an ancient volkswagen beetle resting on the ground, all other parts removed, marked the beginning of the trail off the main road, just a very short hike from there to the ranch. In a ravine behind the cabin was a sizable dumping ground full of rusty junk and tin cans that looked at least many decades old. According to the Helter Skelter book, this ranch cabin had a bathroom. Inside a cabinet under the bathroom sink is where Manson was found hiding and was arrested along with the others.

[@dianebyers5704]

I remember when I was introduced to “crazy Charlie “ back in the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. It was In front of the Straight Theatre. He was a very small guy. He asked my “sign”. I told him I was a Scorpio. He said “so am I! I was born November 12th.” I freaked but didn’t tell him that too was my birthday. What a bummer 😟

[@tonym994]

too much, man, really .

[@aitch3]

May I ask your age when you met him?

[@receilwmseymour2872]

Wow... Very fascinating !

[@waynegross2113]

Jordan, my parents lived in Cedar Rapids at the time of the Tate/Labianca murders. They NEVER locked the doors to their homes before the murders, after, doors/windows were locked. Everyone also bought a gun and a large dog. My Dad refused to talk about the case at all! He never said why. Maybe it was because he traveled to LA on business. (He was a insurance sales man). Back then Dad sold door to door and life insurance was more of a personal deal, than it is now, lol! I would like to tell you about that some time. It was totally different back then. I was 3 when the murders happened. By the time the trial came around I have vague memories of it being on the news. The whole Manson ordeal changed not just LA, but it affected all of America, and probably the world! Jill Gross

[@receilwmseymour2872]

When I worked as a Letter Carrier in downtown Los Angeles, I would stop at a small cafeteria on Main Street everyday for coffee. Later, during the Manson trial, the MANSON GIRLS would gather there before walking up to the Courthouse. I would always sit at the counter and then one day the MANSON GIRLS made their first appearance there, and would sit at the counter beside me talking and laughing. This was in the days before they were arrested for killing Sharon Tate and her friends. The girls never mentioned they were involved in the murders but talked about other things. A few weeks later, they weren't there, and I read that they had been apprehended for those murders.

[@c.caveman1743]

Wait a sec...you said you saw them there during the trial, but then you say it was before they were arrested for the Tate/Labianca murders...sorry, I call bullshit.

[@receilwmseymour2872]

@@c.caveman1743 ...They hadn't been implicated at the time.. That's all I can tell you. The TIME FRAME may be a little sketchy.

[@garyscott2146]

I visited this museum in August 2019, on the 50th anniversary weekend of the Tate-LaBianca murders. Great place, great guy, great tour. I understand that the museum has now closed, sad to say, it was a very interesting place to visit and they had a ton of great books for sale. I even purchased a bit of fireplace stone from the Sharon Tate living room here! Hopefully Scott will choose to reopen someday.

[@bite-marx]

yeah i LOVED that place! jayne mansfields DEATH CAR???? how much more intimately grim could an artifact be? i wanna bring prople back for tours still. please reopen?

[@kayleenjurski1954]

"hope I don't end up a stop on your tour." those are some eerie words Anthony Bourdain.

[@kathrynmcelroy5658]

DAMN. I didn't know Anthony said that.

[@melanie7466]

Great interview Jordan! You are truly amazing-thanks for posting!

Very informative vlog Jordan...love Scott. Was sorry to learn he had shut down.

Wow great interview. I would love to go see this museum. Thanks for this

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Dearly Departed is an amazing shop. Scott knows his stuff. Thank you Jordan for yet another interesting vlog :)

[@michelle49rs]

I really need to go to the Dearly Departed museum. Would love to meet Michael Scott one day.. I've seen his documentary movie years ago and it was truly intriguing.

[@juliee8209]

Thank you so much for doing this interview with Scott. I was curious to what his thoughts were on Manson's passing. Great interview and thank you for all the vlogs you do. I enjoy them greatly and look forward to them. :)

[@coopersweetie]

I agree with everything you said, the museum is amazing, as well as the tour. I was actually a bit gutted to find out that Zappa was buried at the same cemetery as Marilyn and it hadn't been pointed out on the wee map. I think the place is so full of celebs they can list them all!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

+coopersweetie i tjink that is because frank zappa, as well as roy orbison are in unmarked graves.. you have to look online to find descriptions of where they are buried. I think it's a privacy thing, since there wasn't a headstone the families wanted places

[@coopersweetie]

Daze with Jordan the Lion Aw that makes sense, I can imagine Zappa's family wanting his grave to remain private. Just makes me wonder if I walked past it hehe. Love Roy too but again if it were my family member I would probably feel the same. Enjoy your trip when it comes :)

[@Briansmusic-]

@@DazewithJordantheLion Zappa said in an interview when asked how he wanted to be remembered answered that it didn't matter and it was not important to him to have a legacy. A very humble answer from a very outspoken and no holds barred man.

[@minnesotalakes2062]

Nice to know of a company gives you the straight dope on a tour. The museum was amazing. Informative interview.

Just watching your Manson-related videos after seeing OUATIH - if Scott only knew then that he'd be chatting with Tarantino about Manson and getting a thank you on screen! Amazing

Jordan being the big fan of the band Love as we all are, I wonder if you aware the Bobby Beausoliel was in the band early on...The Doors were aware of Manson. Manson was everywhere.

Scott Michael ROCKS. his Helter Skelter doc is second to none with the connected back stories.

Great vlog, Scott Michael is very informative and nice guy, his tours are amazing with comfy vans and friendly guides I highly recommend his company. Its wonderful vlogging has allowed you to travel. So exciting seeing a early white Christmas, I hope your able to travel a lot more.

[@happycherylc]

have you thought of doing California Gold? Hugh Howser use to do it. So many new places he didn't do. Just to let you know, Whittier is Richard Nixon ' s hometown. Pat was a secretary at Whittier HS. His first law office was here. Our town museum has a section just on him.

[@timetravelerify]

LOVE IT!!!!! Six Degrees of Helter Skelter is a very informative DVD that Scott did....Highly recommended!!!! GREAT VLOG JORDAN!!!! However now that he's dead... Manson's body on a compost heap would be more benefit to humanity than anything he ever did in his life!!!!!!

[@chiptapp145]

I've actually get the DVD and it's amazing how much you can actually see and hear on it. If you are a dark history that it will be very interesting.

[@xLiLtEmPeR]

Charles Manson is greater than all of humanity in the world.

[@ninamc6116]

The museum has grown! I visited & took the tour back in 2014. The museum was much smaller. That year Debra Tate had published a book on Sharon’s fashion photos, style & makeup. It was hard to look at without tearing up. But the tour had no information about those murders or OJ.

[@Rose-tn2ty]

Wow..this video was very interesting. Good job!

[@heat000]

Love Scott and Dearly Departed, great video, just subscribed

[@allisonmarlow184]

I did not know that he passed away. Thank you. Scott's key "fobs" from famous hotels are truly neat. I would HAVE TO buy one if I was there (and if they were for sale.) The two of you working together aggregates the best of both talents. Thank you both. My family was on an out west trip shortly after Bugliosi's book came out. Both my sister and I were reading the book (simultaneously, yes 2 copies,) during the long drives. We coincidentally happened to be IN L.A., and my fuddy duddy father was actually excited to drive to two sites that WE came up with. (Did he know what we were seeing....?) There we were, unobstructed, looking at the two homes. Of course at Ciello Drive, we could only see the gate and gate button -- but it was exactly the same as the photo in the book of the gate button with the BLOOD still on it (which was smudged and compromised by an idiot police officer, when forensics weren't yet regularly implemented.) And today, the gate and button still look the same.

[@Cakemaster2341]

It's dark history but interesting at the same time. I wish I live in the LA area or I would go there often. Also...is that place haunted with all those objects especially with human remains and a death car.
