This post is not for info directly relating to the Jonestown Massacre, for pics and discussion about that follow this link:

Rather, this thread is about the Jonestown Death Tape, the forty five minute tape,(one side of a 90 minute cassette) Jim Jones and his followers made over the last remaining hours of their life. It is eerie and will draw you in, rarely do you get a window like this into the depths of madness. Quickly, quickly, quickly...

interesting post firefly

i unfortunately dont have the patience to sit through something like this, but are there any highlights & times through this tape you might bring to our attention?

I'll post a transcript of the tape, I didn't think I would have the patience either, but it does draw you in.

Also, now that I think of it, I could make a shortened highlight tape, you know more of Jim's gems, rather than the lengthy debate about dying and such.

I have seen a transcript before; is it not in the FBI report?

This is audio recorded by the FBI agents who raided the Peoples Temple in Jonestown in 1978. The recording starts immediately preceding and continues during, the mass suicide / murder of the 900 or so Peoples Temple cult members.

Lol, It's hard to take him seriously because he has a lisp. But that was eerie...hearing the poor children cry out in pain and terror...and that last minute, with just the creepy music. Geez...awful.

Great find, Chris!
