I am from Guyana and i also still live here, trust me when i say this.... Jonestown is now fully covered in bushes and dense jungle but the trail tracks are still there and as soon as you enter that region you can literally feel death, much like a horror film. The entire place feels like something is pulling you down to the ground. We did some surveying work there and had to stay overnight...I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO THAT PLACE. The sounds you hear in that jungle at night....your sanity says it's animals, but your realization knows it's not. There is still the signboard at the starting point that says 'JONESTOWN' and the famous quote 'Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it'

I watched a video a few days ago of what Jonestown looks like today. It looks just as you described. As interesting as it (the video) was, I know I'd be totally creeped out if I ever went there, but with my morbid curiosity, I know I'd visit the area if I had the opportunity. I would want to plant flowers or something in honor of all who died. I was 12 when this happened (in my 50's now), and the impact I felt at that young age is still almost as strong today when I think about it or watch these youtube videos. It was an awful, awful event. God love all those people...I hope they are all resting in peace.

I was one of a very few that placed the bodies in bags and move them to the collection point. One night I was walking past the pavillion where most of the dead lay in the open. I saw something dancing in amoung the dead. I looked away for a second and when I looked back it was gone. The place is the devil's playground I tell ya.

Let’s not forget his son was 18 and married at that time and very much apart of his father’s business.. he may not have put the poison in the juice and he may not have forced everyone to drink it but he didn’t try to stop it either! Jim gave off warnings early on with his test runs to see if the people would actually commit mass suicide, as well as showing signs of psychosis, kicking members out and refusing to allow them to take their children, and on many occasions not allowing people to leave, holding them hostage against their will.. so he has to accept some responsibility as he did nothing to stop it!

Katie Shaw An ugly,unfortunate, tragic story.With the very corrupt local government. of the PNC under Forbes Burnham due diligence was not exercised. The land was just sold to the People's Temple and the believers came and settled there.No oversight of this community was planned for and/or carried out. The congressman was poorly protected by his country's security apparatus and the local army in Guyana.

Oh my gosh! I can’t even imagine what all the victims went through. This is such a sad part of history for any human being to endure. I am just glad that the ones who survived made something out of their experience and that his children aren’t affected in a destructive way. They chose to heal instead of letting the experience change their good nature. I applaud all the survivors and hope the families of the dead are doing well.
