I would go too, with a group, if they cleared off the land and made it a tourist attraction. See nothing wrong with that. It's historic, however tragic. They could have created a memorial for the victims.
Hey Kayla, I want to go out there too, we should form a group of ppl who are really serious and go check it out, Say 2022 the anniversay Nov. 18th. Let me know.. I'm serious!
wow. daisies where the bodies were. this shows that even though no one can agree whether its a mass suicide or murder, it still happened and god remembers the death of his 909 children.
I'm surprised they didn't come across any snakes in that thick jungle as they were walking with all of that thick vegetation and especially when they sat on the tractor and in the truck where you're even more apt to find snakes hiding and other creatures for that matter. In fact, other than birds singing in the trees you don't even see monkeys anywhere around there or any other animals for that matter. Strange I thought.
I hate to hear someone say "the people committed suicide" They did not, they were all murdered. Does not matter if they drank that poison voluntarily or not, they were in one way or another forced, murdered by JJones.
Still suicide by many who were willing and encouraged others to drink. Some had weaker minds than others. Many left the Cult a few years and months prior. Especially since they practiced mass suicide drills with poisonless drinks multiple times. They knew that day would come and had many chances. Family members and ex-Cult members tried to talk sense into their heads but they wouldn't listen. It was just too late by November of 1978. The Children, Teens, Young Adults, Elderly and those who finally came to their senses when the poison drinks were given to them but they refused, were Murdered by Injection. The others committed suicide. It's rightfully called a Murder-Suicide.
I see a lot of people say this place is creepy and hauted but I find it very peaceful despite of the tragic nature of the events that occured there. Just my impression.
they did for a couple of years after that day, but then decided that it wasn't worth keeping it, because it wasn't their responsibility and let the jungle reclaim it. Most of the buildings were torn down and used for wood in the near by town and what they couldn't use they burned. The rest was just left here. Someone erected a memorial stone in honor of the victims and it stands near the entrance now. (as far as I can recall the area around it is being maintained.) There was a documentary I watched a couple of days ago showing it. I can't remember the name of it.
TheCarin12 There are thousands of pieces of individual evidence to back up all the litany of events that happened there. Jonestown definitely fucking happened. ~900 people definitely lost their lives. Read the survivor accounts, including the eyewitnesses at the actual event (e.g. Stanley Clayton). They all confirm the events as they played out happened. Go learn something before you spout such stupid bullshit such as that it didn't happened: jonestown.sdsu.edu/
I visited the branch Davidianproperty in Waco, TX and I never want to experience that mind screw again. For those that want to visit here, think again. It really messes with your heads
The daisys are probably where the bodies laid there and the people had eaten something with daisy seeds in it. When they died the seeds were left under their bodies
thats nuts....sick stuff. Could only imagine the feeling one would get being there...especially with the jungle completely grown in everywhere. Surprised the Guyanese govt didn't get rid of EVERYTHING. Some people actually wish for the site to be a tourist spot, natrually the country's govt strongly disagrees and doesn't want to be known for Jonestown. The whole thing is just fucked up.
i can understand what you mean in a way they were murdered in the sense that Jim forced them to commit suicide under false pretenses they were under the impression that they were going to be attacked and they weren't, so in a way you can say it was murder.
I heard the jungle reclaimed the area but these two guys did not really find anything of interest. I would think a lot more would have turned up from those days as no one is going to go through the hassle of removing every item. The military sealed it off for some time, some ten years after a few guarded it in isolation. I can't imagine the Guyanese government would bother stationing anyone there more than 10 years later. It is likely silent now.
rust blade did I say those people were evil ? Where did I say that ? You need to learn to look at the whole context of what you read. Jim Jones was evil. Not his followers. And God in in everything so next time you use His name, Remember,It's a Capital G.
mykenwood830 I totally agree with you on this one and I wouldn't want to go there as well even as tempting as it would be if some local was an excellent guide like this pilot and would take me and some others. I would literally be afraid I would have something evil enter me while I was there even around that airstrip 6 miles from Jonestown. Evil never dies! Satan is alive just as much as God and that's a fact! And I repeat ... Evil never dies. Once a horrific sadistic tragedy such as this took place and in such an area as this there HAS to be something evil left behind and although it looks like a very peaceful heavenly paradise there with all the vegetation grown over whatever was there during Jonestown's day never left even after its demise. With God's return all evil in this world will be washed away and true heaven on earth and peace with the Almighty will reign in His Kingdom as it should be. Amen!
It's unfortunate that the video is such poor quality and blurry. What's more incredible is that I don't know what brought me here today. November 10th 2021
There are recordings of the people voluntarily taking the drink. It was a murder-suicide. Those who refused and were injected with Poison were killed. Some who flee were shot. Those were murders. The Kids were all kids they refused to drink. The others could be heard agreeing to take the Flavor Aid and encouraging others to do so. *_There were far too many Practice mass suicide drills with poisonless drinks and constant Rants from this Guy over the speaker about them preparing to one day commit mass suicide for a lot of them to still Not flee like the Others. They knew that day would come and had many chances._* Family members and ex-Cult members tried to talk sense into their heads whenever they spoke, but they wouldn't listen. It was just too late by November of 1978. Survivors spoke about Jonestown during radio, magazine, and TV interviews over the decades about life there and Jim Jones.
It certainly is a fertile area; there are abandonded areas in my town that still have all the buildings and walkways decades later. Q: Should they clear the area and erect some memorial, or just leave it alone? (In what decade will people start doubting this tragedy happened? )
That term has been around for Centuries. I guess because where bodies lie daisies grow due to the fertilization from the decomposing body. The corpses were there for up to 5days decomposing. The U.S. had to bag them and bury 'em. I can only imagine the stench.
i was there in 2009 with my guyanese friend.. we hired an escort and took a trip there.. its creepy there, very creepy the silence and the heavy feeling.. oh its DEF haunted... we saw the pavillion and some old furniture... sad and scary at the same time
Calling BS. There's film where Jone's two sons returned in 1998. No buildings at all, and that was after 20 years. They found remnants of the piano and part of a barrel at where the Pavilion used to be. I imagine anything metal (like the filing cabinet) still could be found, but there sure wasn't any furniture.
By about late 85 there was nothing left of Jonestown, the site was maintained till about early 81 and mostly looted after that. A fierce fire destroyed most of what was left in mid 85 or so. Then the place just became overgrown and reclaimed by the jungle after that. Nothing was there in 2009. This footage is from 2003 and it's is totally overgrown.
I want to go there. I have researched and read so much about this subject
After almost 40 years I'm sure the jungle has taken back the land and there are no signs of the terrible things that happened at this location.
me too
I would go too, with a group, if they cleared off the land and made it a tourist attraction. See nothing wrong with that. It's historic, however tragic. They could have created a memorial for the victims.
Kayla Reilly pls dont there better things to spend money in like gym and nutrition
Hey Kayla, I want to go out there too, we should form a group of ppl who are really serious and go check it out, Say 2022 the anniversay Nov. 18th. Let me know.. I'm serious!
Thanks. Interesting doc. The Guyana citizens seem to be peaceful & laid back. God bless them.
wow. daisies where the bodies were. this shows that even though no one can agree whether its a mass suicide or murder, it still happened and god remembers the death of his 909 children.
PlanetSammy the daisies are from God, no doubt about it.
I think we agree by this point it was MURDER for MOST
Isn't it funny how our history teachers always said to study, study, study history so that it doesn't repeat itself. I don't think it's working.
Much of the history that’s taught in schools isn’t accurate. They only teach you with what the government want you to know.
I'm surprised they didn't come across any snakes in that thick jungle as they were walking with all of that thick vegetation and especially when they sat on the tractor and in the truck where you're even more apt to find snakes hiding and other creatures for that matter. In fact, other than birds singing in the trees you don't even see monkeys anywhere around there or any other animals for that matter. Strange I thought.
They can sense something about it .the animals probably feel something.
that area must now be haunted and filled with evil spirits.
Only a few evil ones, including Jones. Most of them are probably angry spirits rather than evil.
Ghost stories are for children
@AJAY JANGIR angry spirits=the people that were forced to take the poison. Evil spirits= Jones and his asshole inside circle.
probably not tho
I wish that some paranormal show would do a series at jonestown. I'm sure the phenomena would be absolutely astounding!!!
Yeah, like the Blair Witch project, they should set up camp out there and spend the whole weekend and document it.
I hate to hear someone say "the people committed suicide" They did not, they were all murdered. Does not matter if they drank that poison voluntarily or not, they were in one way or another forced, murdered by JJones.
Kacey these people had no way to leave,no where to go,and under a spell of j Jones drug addicted command,k knowing he would hv them killed
Still suicide by many who were willing and encouraged others to drink. Some had weaker minds than others. Many left the Cult a few years and months prior.

The buildings are gone. Most of the community buildings were torn down and the materials repurposed.
I see a lot of people say this place is creepy and hauted but I find it very peaceful despite of the tragic nature of the events that occured there. Just my impression.
Hervé De Rinel well yea been there at nite hello
This place should be kept nice,clean and protected,or a nice memorial.
they did for a couple of years after that day, but then decided that it wasn't worth keeping it, because it wasn't their responsibility and let the jungle reclaim it. Most of the buildings were torn down and used for wood in the near by town and what they couldn't use they burned. The rest was just left here.

There was a documentary I watched a couple of days ago showing it. I can't remember the name of it.
It's amazing how thick the vegetation has gotten to wipe away all memory of the incident. Bit a metaphor to the insignificance of men.
+Spuds7er Did something happen there?
+TheCarin12 Uhh... are you trolling me? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown
TheCarin12 There are thousands of pieces of individual evidence to back up all the litany of events that happened there.
Jonestown definitely fucking happened. ~900 people definitely lost their lives.
Read the survivor accounts, including the eyewitnesses at the actual event (e.g. Stanley Clayton). They all confirm the events as they played out happened.
Go learn something before you spout such stupid bullshit such as that it didn't happened:
jonestown.sdsu.edu/
Spuds7er Hmm. looks like a random piece of jungle to me.History to the place...I think not.
+TheCarin12Surely you are not serious?
This is a great film.
I visited the branch Davidianproperty in Waco, TX and I never want to experience that mind screw again. For those that want to visit here, think again. It really messes with your heads
So creepy that the cyanide bucket is still there....
The daisys are probably where the bodies laid there and the people had eaten something with daisy seeds in it. When they died the seeds were left under their bodies
I wouldn't be surprised if the land was haunted.
Does no one see the ghost at 1:50 ? It appears to take a few steps into view and curiously looks at these men.
I see it ...
Yes.
It even has an afro
@@macarelli2097 glad someone else does
That was part of the crew. There’s cameramen, sound people. Wasn’t just 3 people there.
A place one shouldn't go by them self at night.
Light Yagami jajakkajajjaaja
It's good that nature grows over the home of false prophets ......
what a beautifull place very touching.
thats nuts....sick stuff. Could only imagine the feeling one would get being there...especially with the jungle completely grown in everywhere.

I think the show was called "Let's Talk" but I can't be sure.
905 angels.
Why didnt they remove all this stuff from Jonestown, I dont get it!!
i can understand what you mean in a way they were murdered in the sense that Jim forced them to commit suicide under false pretenses they were under the impression that they were going to be attacked and they weren't, so in a way you can say it was murder.

It is likely silent now.
A fire destroyed all of the structures and living quarters.
Jim Jones know the jungle and the rivers well
I would not have gone there with anyone. That place is best left alone. Dont you know........evil never dies.
Not untill God returns
Disgusting. Keep god out of this. Those people weren't evil, they were coerced and tricked by an evil man.
rust blade did I say those people were evil ? Where did I say that ? You need to learn to look at the whole context of what you read. Jim Jones was evil. Not his followers. And God in in everything so next time you use His name, Remember,It's a Capital G.
Wtf are u snorting
Brandon Scott You silly little boy, Im telling the truth. Something you evidently know nothing about.

What's more incredible is that I don't know what brought me here today. November 10th 2021
Love it, is this on dvd?
why did the government leave all these things there?
Although I wasn't born until a year after Jim killed all these people, I've always been intrigued with this story and their plight.
1:08 me when I’m in a group
Yeah i was born the same week after the tragedy took place.
No I don't think so...
because there isn't... anywhere...
ever.
I WAS 3 YRS OLD. WOW
That place has probably been looted a long time ago. A lot of children died there. So very sad....
It has been proven that it was murder not suicide.
no it has not...

It already has a memorial, though the thick forest covered it.
"For your love nature has hemorrhaged.."
u know that drum the kool aid was in has been confiscated!
the spirit of christmas past maybe...
Bed of daisies and the "death vat" 😟
I would have collected all that stuff and put it on eBay.
eLuchaTv ` your karma would show you little money
Every so often, a clothing tag will pop up on eBay. They say "Made in Jonestown" and fetch several hundred dollars each.
This place must be haunted
guaranteed these guys got loaded after this
Pilot seems as jungle man with this machete :) Jungle in the skies?

U know that rediculous thing to give J J permission to start his thing after they had heard of allegations
I wonder if that is where the term "Pushing Up Daises" came from?
That term has been around for Centuries. I guess because where bodies lie daisies grow due to the fertilization from the decomposing body. The corpses were there for up to 5days decomposing. The U.S. had to bag them and bury 'em. I can only imagine the stench.
I doubt seriously if there were any religious ceremonies in Jonestown. Unless you count paranoid rants on the loudspeaker.
the label disturb the display.
Now Nitya with followers in Khailasa
I wonder
Look at all the people in here that are superstitious, believing in paranormal stuff lol. I guess everyone is different
i was there in 2009 with my guyanese friend.. we hired an escort and took a trip there.. its creepy there, very creepy the silence and the heavy feeling.. oh its DEF haunted... we saw the pavillion and some old furniture... sad and scary at the same time
portmorejamaica1 are there any buildings left standing?
Calling BS. There's film where Jone's two sons returned in 1998. No buildings at all, and that was after 20 years.
