Many ghost stories gain credibility based on the notion that something real happened to create the ghost and motivate it to remain in the place where it died, thus Monster Talk proposes that one can debunk a ghost story by showing its history is either greatly exaggerated or fully fabricated. There may be a slight flaw in the conclusion that if the story behind a ghost is false, then the haunting activity that has been credited to that ghost cannot possibly be paranormal, however if we place the burden of proof on ghost believers rather than the skeptics, this conclusion is sufficient for the purposes of the skeptics.

During the early 1960 's, a charismatic, charming and relentlessly brutal leader, compelled a group of emotionally insecure, broken individuals to commit a series of horrific murders, through nothing more than his own silver tongue. Through his use of the talents of five of his closest cult members, members of an organisation known as 'The Family ', he perpetrated several now iconic murders, involving Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, either for reasons involving a specific end of days event known as 'Helter Skelter ', or just for the sheer fun of it, a dot that thus far remains unconnected.
