I go to Texas and start talking like them within a day or two! Most of the people are good!

Wow - I guess he was a great role model! lol

@@StrangeRVTours I know right.I didn't take after him,it was a flash back to see the McKinney jail thow.Sorry I was off subject of Tex Watson.

From the what I can make out it's totally not what it use to look like.It looks a street on right side but it was a alley back in the 60s and 70s.The front was not that fancy ,but I didn't know there was a restaurant at one time .I left McKinney in the 80s.

The movie For the Love of Benji was filmed around downtown to.

@@killentime4051 No problem - everyone has a life. Hugs

I would have done the same thing to make sure nobody got to go free!

Thank you so much! I hope you have a Merry Christmas as well!!

@@StrangeRVTours You are very welcome and thanks

Small World... Great story! We lived in Wylie for 11 years and never new Tex grew up so close to where we lived.

@@StrangeRVTours I'm from Dallas. I found the Copeville church. I'm going to look for the house again. What is the address for the old Collin Co. prison? I wish I could have ate at the restaurant.

@@carollewis3912 You can see the Watson home and business from the church parking lot. If you are standing in the parking lot facing the road, the house will be to your right. The old prison is located just off the Mckinney Town Square. I think the street name is Tennessee. It is easy to find. If you have any problems finding it go to the Town Square and ask some of the shop keepers. They all know where it is. The area on the side of the old prison was also where the last public hanging took place in Collin County. Tex's uncle was the County Sheriff when Tex was housed there. I hope this helps.

@@StrangeRVTours I went yesterday (5/25/22) and saw the Collin county prison and the Watson house and store. The house looks nothing like the video. No one lives there. The windows and doors are missing. There are holes all around the bottom of the house.

@@carollewis3912 Wow! That's sad that they are letting it go. Sounds like they are going to tear it down. We should run up there and take a look before it's all gone. Thanks

Thank You!

Awful and sad Thanks, Seate ite !!!

Sad to see.

Thank you - so many different theories with all of the Manson events.

Hi Anthonie, Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. The Watson family store is located on 78F near 5th street. The family home is located to the left of the family store, if you are standing in front of the old store. Last we knew the home was deteriating and someone commented they were concerned it was about to be torn down. Hopefully it is still there. Let us know if you find it!

@strangeRVTours , the gas station was torn down and rebuilt as an add on to the building on the corner lot! Also, sometime in between my last comment and now there was a fire in the garage of the home (the side of the garage that’s open in the video) I’ll message you guys some pics asap!

Just like some parents say... "My kid wouldn't do something like that!"

We had heard that about his Mom, somewhere, and it seemed that kids were rebellious during that time period.

I looked it up on Google maps for you. The Childhood home of Tex Watson is on Hwy 78F (just SW of Fifth Street) in Copeville, Tx. The Methodist church Tex attended is on 1778. If you decide to go see the property, please view it from the road and do not bother the residents.

5571 Tx 78 Bus. Copeville Tx

That house looked pretty good, when we were there, but the store was just a wreck.

Glad you enjoyed it! Sad what drugs can do to kids. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

You're welcome.....Thanks for watching!!

Perhaps... Thanks for the comments.

There are some people that are just born evil!!

Right, it doesn't make sense, so have you considered all the possibilities? Try this as a possible explanation: It never happened. The whole setup was a hoax, including the trial. Once you take this angle, everything starts to make sense. ''Tex'' was/is basically an actor playing a role.

Thank You!

I knew I should have been a sideshow barker...LOL Thanks for watching...

Haha.

Thank you for watching, Great Post! Tex has said that they were high the night of the Tate Murders. They had used pot and he had a secret stash of speed hidden under a shack at Spahn Ranch that he and Susan Atkins were using that night. I do agree that murder is a personal choice. I think there is a lot about this case that we may never know....

Thank you 🙌

Sorry for the confusion... Don't worry, Tex is not going anywhere.

Thank you. The things people are capable of is scary!

We feel the same way. Thanks for watching!

I have read that as well, but that does not explain his actions when he helped kill Shorty Shea, or the Labianca's....

@@StrangeRVTours he was probably using then, also. Drug addiction is an everyday thing.

There's tapes where the killers said they didn't do drugs that night.i wonder what the truth is??

Thank You!

@@StrangeRVTours you are very welcome

All of the kids were pretty messed up with drugs. Crazy stuff happens!

I have heard rumors that support what you are saying... Sorry I did not answer sooner for some reason your comment just made it to my box today.

@@StrangeRVTours no worries brother I thought that put a little damper on his believability in my opinion but I've never walked a mile in his shoes so I guess maybe I shouldn't judge him.

That's not true at all. They were married for 24 years and are still close friends. Tex was allowed conjugal visits with his wife and has 4 sons. It was, and is absolutely impossible for any other inmate to get close to someone elses wife to have sex. It's to avoid hostage situations happening or other crimes, he is locked up with convicted rapists and murderers after all.

Tex was not really a full-time family member. He came and went several times... I think Charlie became the famous one because he was older than everyone else, and he appeared/was to be the leader of the group.

@@StrangeRVTours The chess pieces will never be as interesting as the chess player...

@@adrian72300 absolutely.

They did find a print of Tex Watson's right ring finger at the Tate house. They were able to match it with a print of Tex's from a previous intoxication arrest. My question is, " Did Charlie really expect all the kids involved in the murders would actually be able to keep their mouths shut about what they did?"

@@StrangeRVTours Oh yeah. The LAPD had evidence of Tex being at 10050 Cielo Drive. I was just reiterating what Sheriff Tom Montgomery was saying at the time. "We don't trust them Hollywood types at the LAPD."

Oh Ok.... I understand.

they recovered a finger print from the tate house and it was identified as watsons

@@StrangeRVTours The whole thing was strange because there were no eye witnesses left alive except the killers, the power of celebrity did them in

That is a great idea! I wonder if the person that owns the house also owns the old store?

@@StrangeRVTours you should ask them next time you go there. Glad you like the idea. I would love to live in Charles Watson's old home. I would feel very close to him.

@@StrangeRVTours All the sympathy and admiration shown in these comments for tex watson by you people is disgusting, this monster brutally murdered an 8 1/2 month pregnant woman, and others who had done nothing to him, this video is devil worship, what trash!

@@adrian72300 I hope you don't think that I sympathize with Tex, that was never my intention. He is exactly where he should be in prison for life. I do not believe Tex or anyone else in the family was brain washed by Charlie. I have never understood how he could go from being a normal young man in Texas to a homicidal murderer in California a short time later. The only thing I can come up with is the lure of drugs and girls.

@@StrangeRVTours I agree it wasn't brainwashing, we know Tex brought trouble to the ranch messing with Bernard Crowe, and Manson thru the mix up with the name Charlie got involved with Crowe, and shot him, fearing retaliation, thinking Crowe was in The Black Panther Party, which he wasn't, got the Straight Satans involved, and needed money, there's the so-called race war, now Tex being the instigator of all this has to fix this mess, and remembers the house where Terry Melcher lived and goes to get the money they need to feed the Straight Satans, Tex Watson is a demonic monster, the killing so vicious so terrible, omg so it looked bad seeing this video, sorry folks

A spiritual friend of who??

@@clucka mine and lots of other people!

You should write to Charles. His address is Charles Watson B37999 A-5 209L 480 Alta Road San Diego CA 92179. Check out his website aboundinglove.org

I might do that. We just did a video on the Graveface Museum in Savannah that should be posted in a few weeks. They have the original Spahn Ranch sign on display along with letters written by Manson and even a pair of Manson's sweat pants there. The Grave face museum was incredible! It is probably the scariest place I have ever been.

@@StrangeRVTours awesome

I think she would have eventually become a star but Manson definitely brought her to the forefront. I don't think Roman was involved, the evidence does not hold up.

What a stupid opinion, you need to be more informed before making a ridiculous comment like this. Just because someone makes or likes to watch a horror movie does NOT make them murderers or involved in a crime. Shame on you!

@@skyblues23 Actually that opinion is not so stupid, I've read opinions that Roman might have thought that baby was Jay Sebring's due to his open infidelities and Sharon sought comfort with Jay, her former suitor and close friend, It's so chilling that Sharon, Jay and the baby all died together

@@adrian72300 With all the evidence in this case, I'm sorry but thinking Roman had anything to do with Manson's madness is just stupid.

@@skyblues23 I agree that he wasn't involved, but it's not a stupid opinion, I entertained this thought a few years ago, learning of the connection between Sharon and Jay, and how controlling and philandering Roman was, people don't realize that these people crossed paths often, mainly at the Whiskey-a-go-go, so who knows

Really? Have you ever spoken with Charles? I have met a few people that communicate with Charles through letters.

@@StrangeRVTours yes, I have spoken to Charles Watson through letters. He has successfully persuaded me to connect with God again and I attend a born again Christian church at home in Ireland. This is the one thing he got right in his life. He would have made a good beef farmer in Texas, if he was able to straighten his life. He successfully raised a calf when he was younger. His parents could have lent him the money. I couldn't see him at a desk 24/7. It is such a shame how his life went pearshaped. Alot of people write to him. He gets alot of mail. You should write too. His address can be found through his website aboundinglove.org.

@@sashamusgravetravers30 I have heard about him raising the calf before. If I remember right he raised it while a member of FFA (Future Farmers of America) in school. I hope he has turned his life around. It's good to know that he is helping others instead of just wasting away. I know that drugs, Charlie, and the girls had a lot to do with him committing the murders. After visiting his small hometown I have often wondered how much moving from such a small quiet place to the chaos of Los Angeles may have also contributed to the change in his personality.

@@StrangeRVTours It is such a pity that Charles Watson didn't pursue his farming career after returning to Texas. He should have fled California after the Bernard Crowe affair, went back to Texas, handed the drugs and money to the authorities, and got protection from Manson. The girls and Manson had a very negative impact on him and his personality did change after he left Texas. His best friend Tommy died in Vietnam so that must have contributed to his changing character no doubt.

@@sashamusgravetravers30 I agree. Imagine how different things would be had he fled after the Bernard Crowe incident.
