Garretson admitted towards the end of his life that he did see stuff, but was too scared to do anything. No shame in that. Most of us would have been frozen in fear too. I believe he saw Abigail being stabbed, as she would have been the closest to the guest house. I think he also admitted to seeing the door handle move.

William was a skinny teenage kid. When they hauled him he shook so much he could hardly stand up. He had emotional problems before the murders and he had hugh emotional problems after the murders, which he never received any help. It all lead to great problems later in life and an early death. It turns out William Garretson was just another victim of that weekend in HELL.

I read Patricia Krenwinkel went to the guesthouse and found the door locked. She left it alone and told Tex nobody was in there. I don't know how reliable that information is. The story of the caretaker is stunning.

Asleep, high, in a bedroom with a closed door and radio on doesn’t have to be loud to drown out noise. Million possibilities why he wouldn’t have heard anything.

He made a great point about if Garretson was listening to loud music, the killers would have heard that and went to the guest house. I've never considered that before. I think Garretson heard what was going on and looked out the window to see the murders happening, and stayed put so he wouldn't get murdered also. That makes sense to me.

Off topic: that house and grounds were both so lovely and charming! 😢😮

I always enjoy your content, I wish you would post more often

A really fascinating clip! Thanks again for your incredibly interesting posts!

As usual, your videos are always interesting.

He said he heard screams but initially thought it was just a party I don't know but there was nothing he could have done if he had tried to go intervene they would have killed him too . The idea that he would be a suspect when the crime scene was so bloody and he had no blood on him and no blood in the guesthouse is ridiculous that the cops thought he would be able to kill all those people and clean up himself so quick when there was blood all over that crime scene

I think that Garretson heard gunshots and saw Folger being killed. He was just scared and hid. He may have locked his bedroom door, explaining why Pat Krenwinkle said that she didn't see anyone when she opened the door.

there's a 2 hr interview with garretson titled "bill garretson ... more unplugged than usual ?" that he did in latter life . he says some really strange things about that night . fbi brought over a 3 eyed baby and used his phone , etc . makes one wonder about his mental condition , even when younger .

The reason the murders didn’t think there was anyone in that apartment is because they thought Steve parent was the resident there and he was leaving so they assumed there was nobody else inside. They most likely heard the music while confronting Parent and figured he’d just left it on in the apartment. We know they were not rocket scientists.

Garretson said that he was wearing headphones during the evening of the slayings; I don't know if that was true or not.

I think his first interview with the police is likely to be his most truthful interview. I don't think he heard anything. As time went on and he was told what happened i believe he then convinced himself he did hear screams and see things that night.

Why no one heard his music? Because he wearing a headset.

Dennis knew Marina, wow!

Garretson’s said he had head phones on listening to music, And linda was sent to the guest house by tex watson, but she returned and said no one is there. Don’t know if she was trying to protect Garretson’s or not.

The girls had been at the house a few weeks before swimming in the pool they probably thought that parent was the same guy that they hung out with a week before. Remember parent said don't hurt me I won't tell anybody. He probably wasn't killed by the gate but chased leave the guest house

If he was wearing the typical headphone of the 60's he didn't hear a thing. I had some and you didn't hear anything besidesmusic

He said he heard stuff. Like it sounded like throwing someone in a pool or just being rowdy. People came and went from the main house. He wasn't friends with them and joined in the partying. He's a very weird guy. Listening to him on podcasts he says some of the craziest stuff. Not all there.

I believe that he had his stereo playing loud and also remember too that Sharon and Jay and all the other guest did not hear Tex Watsons 4 shots to Steven Parent , because the canyon valley supposedly carried the sounds away ! Also Patricia Krenwinkle said when she got to the guest house she knew it was wrong what she was doing and after turning the door handle left and said this is too much ! He I am sure always was haunted by the question why was I left alive and not killed ? He was one lucky man , what do you think ? Please let me know?

AAAAA in almost Every sentensAAA

Didn’t LAPD make WG look at all of the victims, bodies etc., when the police “collared” him when they showed up and found him? That is enough to “spook” anyone for the remainder of their lives, being forced to look at that grisly scene! A just cause for serious PTSD!

While channel can be controversial. I have found so many episodes as very interesting. TLB radio podcast feb 17 2023 episode has William interview.

How was William able to survive and live to tell all

Who is this guy getting interviewed?

His life was spared that horrible night and i believe it was a bit of a miracle ..if you will. I am sure all of the victims would be happy to know that.Just maybe one of those things that make you wonder!!

He heard something

There is no way. He could not have heard it. I security guard. Down in the canyon doing his rounds. Heard it and heard a woman screaming. A teacher at a private school. Having a camp out with kids heard it. He asked the school principal could he go look around and checkout the direction of the screaming. So bill saying he never heard anything is BS. A kid across the canyon. Could see the house. From a distance he was awakened by yelling like a violent argument. He looked out his window and from a distance saw shadows. And yelling coming from the house. Police interviewed him.

This case has the same energy as the Delphi murders and Idaho4. Lots of chaos and maybe even coincidence.

This is odd, i wish we could get a full interveiw of garretson for the record, but until then it remains a mystery 😮, And for what its worth God spared him from becoming another victim, thk you for this video , i really appreciate this mans account dennis Hearst

Omg even if he did see or hear anything. The phone lines were cut so he couldn’t call the cops. You really think he could overtake those psychos? 1 man vs 6? He would have been another victim. I would have done the same thing. He’s lucky they didn’t come inside the guest house. Poor guy. I hope he found some peace and happiness in his life. 😢

Thing is pretty sure he had a large dog with him that can sense and hear anything. He definitely had a large dog because the cops when they went to the guesthouse later that day got attacked by that dog. I'd have rreleased the dog to go after the women and then attacked Tex.

Parent, Garretson and Altobellie were gay friends. In fact, alot of Charlies Hollywood connects are due to bisexual. Dennis Wilson etc... southern California hippies!! Tex did more than sell wigs!! 👄

I'm convinced 5hat Roman Polanski had his wife sacriced. Or she was killed because he was revealing too much. Seems like a twisted dude but could be wat made him such a great artist🤔
