The documentary about this was wild. On the last day they went out to eat and they all had the same thing, like no deviation. Apparently that was one of their rules you did things exactly the same as the rest. Women and men had to wear certain clothes, even had to shave a certain way. They would switch who would go out to work vs who stayed at the compound They even had to pour pancake syrup in a particular direction, they had them under a heavy thumb but made it seem like a blessing that they were able to partake in this lifestyle because they alone would cross over to a higher state of being Until the Lady died of Cancer and dude had to quickly come up with an explanation since she wasn't supposed to die like a normal human So last ditch attempt he killed them all, only ones left alive were those who were able to successfully leave, and the one young man left alive who arranged everyone just as instructed and then made the call to police.

You and Wendigoon need to do something together smh

As an alien myself, I can guarantee you that this cult was a massive face palm

you and your editor went absolutely nuts. next tier presentation and narration, and seeing the production evolve to this point has me completely floored

Fun fact: This cult is featured in Rockstar’s popular game Red Dead Redemption 2. There is an Easter Egg at night where an alien will actually appear and scan the bodies.

The heavens gate cult was literally my last years research presentation for school. I love this cult (not as support but as interest) *Fact about the Cult:* All 39 cult memebers wore black & white nike's (The Nike Decade's) on they're death bed. The employee was so happy/enthused about the fact that they had bought 39 pairs of shoes. Only to their surprise.

Not gonna lie, the last two minutes of this video combined with the outro music unironically left me with goosebumps all over my body. The quality of these videos is insane! Both you and Currie did an amazing job on this!

I remember Heaven's Gate. This cult is a very interesting one. Not like the others. It's a shame what happened to them. Did you know GTA V's cult website was inspired by Heaven's Gate's website? They're both very similar.

Fun fact: a modern HG cultist contacted a live call in show on a KZfaq channel called Skeptic Generation, and it's still alive and well. It's also just as nutty as ever, though they generally don't dig talking about the "incident"...

I love it when Oompa forces us to rewatch the same video again

Oompaville's government agents get stickier with every cult video. 😂

The scary part was the fact that two people were left behind to insure everyone else was dead and nicely put on their bed before joining on the flight

Thank you for shining a light on this weird perception people had. I always wanted to visit the museum that has the bunks set up with mannequins and the clothing they wore when they committed suicide with the cloths over their face and everything with real handwritten notes from the people before they died.

I love that he's calling a sewer slide. Also this cult was referenced in Red Dead 2. There's a house you can find that had a group of corpses either sitting at a table or laying on bed. And at some point, there's a beams from a space ship

You know I actually emailed there website because I person that kept alive still replies to emails. He was interviewed as well by some news. I asked him if theres still any practices going on today? He said no they departed and that was basically it. I guess you can still buy there book online lol.

You forgot to include a couple of key/crazy things about the cult. Marshall Applewhite was actually a music teacher until he was fired for having an affair with one of his male students. Marshall was deeply ashamed of his sexuality, so he and many of his cult members went down to Mexico to get themselves castrated. Bonnie died of cancer and her kids from a previous relationship didn’t know about her death until much much later, Bonnie’s death and the passing of Haley’s Comet set the wheels in motion for the mass suicide. And finally after the mass suicide sales for the Nike Air Decade exploded and are now collectors items.

"Because I spend a lot of money on ugh, Chinese equipment." I see what you did there and the joke is appreciated. I laughed out loud.

i watched a documentary about this for a college class, and its such a tragedy. especially the couple who went there and then the husband left and the wife stayed.

Yesterday I spent hours watching their final interviews and his final speech. I even checked our Haven Gate website. I think the most disturbing thing is how happy they were to end their life. Did Bonnie die before they killed themselves? I was confused on this aspect.

You missed some interesting details. They all wore the same Nike shoes upon death. Also, there were 2 cultists that chickened out, but later, after being interviewed (where they said they regretted not taking part) on television, they took their own lives in the same manner.

This cult is so weird. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it

I wonder if other random people who did the sewer slide that same day got to board the ship too. Talk about a shock, trying to end it all and wind up with aliens when you wake up...

I was so scared back then because my grandpa knew a guy who was in that cult. I was scared my grandpa would go there and believe craps like that cause I already heard about the 1978 Jonestown mass suicide and the order of the solar temple. Then this suicide happend in match 1997, when we saw the pictures of the corpses covered in purple sheet. I was traumatized cause they took their own lives for nothing. My worst memory in the 90s. Also family guy’s first season got inspired by that event where Peter unconsciously saved Meg from a cult.

So, I was in 10th grade when this happened, my mom and aunt used to talk about this cult like it was interesting, because they were really into spirituality... And when THIS happened I remember my mom and aunt saying...."Well, we don't know if they DIDN'T get into an alien spaceship." My mom laughs now at her silly thoughts on the whole thing, but it just goes to show you the thought patterns of the people back then... You know, we didn't have the internet back then. Lol

Jokes on you I'm watching this from the space ship right now 😂❤

Bring back the scary story series. You’re an amazing story teller

Even though I know about and have heard some of these subjects you've been making videos on, I still enjoy every minute of watching it along with you. You've got the "reaction video" down to a science and make it so much more than JUST a reaction. Keep them coming!

I still think oompa should start his own cult because I think we would all join

Thanks for covering more cult stuff. No matter how many times I watch documentary or commentary on cults, I still find it interesting to hear another take. I remember when this happened very well as I am quite a bit older than you.

“and the one woman watching” i feel appreciated

their website is up & still running, last i heard, in the same state that they left it in. several members were left behind to keep it running, or at least that's how the story goes. i first heard about heaven's gate in middle school, and emailed them, not really expecting but still hoping, for a response. i got several, to my surprise. they were nice enough, to a kid bothering them on the internet, lol. still kind of funny seeing them in my old emails.

I was 17 when Heaven's Gate rode the sewer slide to board their spaceship. Crazy and manipulative? Absolutely. But as cults go, they were on the tame side. At least there was no SA or child brides, afaik.

Fun fact: Every time the cult leader saids “father” his voice breaks, remembering his own father. Even if its the Heavenly Father

I lived next to the house for 6 years and still go back regularly- it got torn down but the area is so creepy

At least there was one winner in all of this. That insurance company made BANK.

Even though I’ve learned about Heavens Gate before I never watched the documentary and when I heard him say “the earth is about to be recycled” I freaked out bc that’s literally the opening line of Leave with Us by Chelsea Grin and I never knew what it was from 😂😂

Oompaville blesses us once more with an absolute banger of a video.

The funniest thing I ever saw on SNL was a fake commercial for their preferred brand of shoes. Using the Beatles "Revolution" (which their preferred brand was using in their ads at the time) as the sound track and video of the Heavens Gate scene, focusing on the shoes. And ending with the caption "(MAJOR COMPETITOR) WORN BY SANE, REASONABLE PEOPLE"

dude. you missed a chunk. 1. the home team. there are 2 remaining cult members who "Stay behind" aka "the home team", who only have to be reincarnated until the comet comes back in 4385 when then can join up with the "away team". 2. the website, it's still up, the home team runs it in all it's late 90's glory.

Legends know this is a reupload

I watch Oompaville’s ads the whole way through to improve his numbers. Cause this man deserves it!

I too, once believed in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus

papa oompsie dropping another cult video (I can’t wait for him to make his own! 😊)

To be fair, you can't prove it didn't work.

The muffin man was a serial killer and the song was to inform children <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="280">4:40</a>

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="313">5:13</a> All that build up and suspense for the cut to the sponsor almost made me spit out my water

"So how did you hear about us here at Rocket Money?" "You see, I was watching this video about a cult..."

There were actually two survivors who were left to maintain the cults website

i love these videos, i like learning about these things. keep them coming oompa :)

I remember when I clicked the notification to watch this video and it said it was privated. I was worried I wasn't gonna get to watch it at all but I'm glad it's back up

I’m trying to focus on this informative video but my brain just keeps going: “Oompsie has a beautiful mullet.”

I want an oompaville,wendigoon and meatcanyon collab video on a subject like this.

i love how even in the sponsorship pappa oompsy can still make jokes about getting scammed. we love you.

Was literally just thinking about this today while talking about the Ca museum of death.

I just realized that local 58 is probably slightly based off of this cult. Cool little detail and kudos to the creator of that ARG.

I love when you do stuff like this! Amazing editing, and amazing story telling with accurate info. Great job!

I like how oompas description of a cult is how a lot of religions work, including christianity. Create fear then create the cure

Keep makin em and I’ll keep watchin

Ayy it didnt get taken down this time!

Gotta love oompa cult content

Mom, can we get cool aid. No, we have cool aid at home. Cool aid at home: Jonestown addition.

I loved this!!!!! Wish you’d do more vids like this! Much love and light! ❤️🧿

We waited and waited for DAYS in the upper atmosphere and... NOTHING! Massive disappointment. No one could figure it out. I HOPE they didn't use Phenobarbital as a transitional. We strictly warned Do against that sort of thing. (At least, I'm pretty sure we did.) Ah well - on to Alpha Centauri! Those guys know how to party!

the cowboy bebop episode "brain scratch" is based off the heaven's gate cult

Just finished the Heavens Gate episode on How to Become a Cult leader. Really accurate

These have been my favorite videos of yours. Always look forward to the next cult. 💜

Did he accidentally post this yesterday and then private it?

i listened to a podcast about this one time. really interesting

I love these stories from you! Great content

This was amazing! I hope you talk bout more stuff like this cause this was top tier content.👌

It's harder to say I liked it more than it is to say it was disturbing. The edits were great as well!

as the one woman watching I appreciate the acknowledgement

“Sewerslide.” I love it

This cult has always tripped me out. The look in dudes eyes is insane 😳

Thanks for calling me out, Oomp (the ONE female watching). 🙄

Wish the aliens would take me next...

“And the one woman watching” 😂😂

This guy was always super creepy looking

Top tier video here you and your team did a great job. I heard that the men of this cult voluntarily got castrated but not sure if that's true or a myth. Also I should start selling alien abduction insurance

I really like the editing on this video. Great job!❤

Not every member died there were two i think left to carry on. Their still around and run the website and you can contact them with questions.

This was a beautiful story. They truly believed they were going on to another place. Can any prove it wrong? Even the survivors hag remourse. Thats exactly how production perceived it to the audience

Oof, I saw this guy in a Telltale video. I tend to ignore his political vids, but he is a former JW, so he covers cults a *lot*. And this guy has the "Glassy Cult stare"

i love when oompy talks about cults

this is so crazy (thanks to oomp and editor for these amazing vids)

Love how you casually call put big pharma. Preach man. They gave me all my issues and now not on meds and paying for it. Supplements all the way. Quality vs quantity of any ingredient or food as food is true medicine.

I'm a little worried that oompa wants to start his own cult with all these cult videos lately.

I'm only about halfway through this, but it's sounding a lot like Scientology. I don't think quite everybody died from this cult

You guys like mustard and ketchup on hotdogs?

I don't know how to feel about the Heavens Gate cult because unlike any other cult there was no coercion or negative repercussion for leaving the cult. Everything they did was voluntary and members came and went as they pleased. It just seems like a bunch of intelligent people deluded themselves into believing some wild stuff.

I was 12 and waiting to fly alone from NJ to FL for the 1st time the next morning when I remember hearing about it on the news!

The people in the cult were probably high out of their mind

I can’t be the only woman watching lol

Lol that Netflix documentary. How to be a cult leader immediately made me think of u.

Do more of these type of videos! Please I love these type of videos!

Man, the timing of this video with the alien court case is wild🤣

If you watch the interview tapes, even though they say they aren’t afraid, you can easily tell some of them are terrified.

I swear the line he says about leaving with us is heavy as Chelsea grin made a song with that audio clip

Need his "yes sir" as an audio file so I can put it as my message tone 😅
