Chilling Charles Manson jail calls reveal he ‘began murder spree & left bodies on beach’ before forming killer ‘family’
UNEARTHED prison calls from Charles Manson have revealed the notorious cult leader admitting to killing more people before ever forming his murderous “family.”
Manson died in 2017 while serving a life sentence in prison for convincing his followers to commit a series of murders in Los Angeles in 1969.
The Manson family cult leader served over 45 years in prison for masterminding the killings of at least seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.
Even though Manson didn’t carry out the crimes himself, he persuaded his devoted cult members, mostly women who he called his family, to brutally kill their victims.
A new three-part docuseries called Making Manson is set to reveal audio recordings of the criminal mastermind that have never been released before.
The series features conversations with the infamous killer collected over 20 years of phone calls from prison in California.

A new clip from the show reveals Manson confessing to crimes committed before he formed his cult.
“See there’s a whole part of my life that nobody knows about,” Manson said in a phone call in the teaser clip.
“I lived in Mexico for awhile. I went to Acapulco, stole some cars.
“I just got involved in stuff over my head, man,” he continued in a calm voice.
“Got involved in a couple of killings.
“I left my .357 Magnum in Mexico City, and I left some dead people on the beach.”
The confession was unusual as Manson typically didn’t take credit for his crimes.
Throughout his murder trial, and even after he was convicted in 1971, the cult leader maintained that he didn’t orchestrate the killings.
He never showed any remorse for his psychopathic actions, even saying, “I never told anybody to do anything other than what they wanted to do.”
However, at a parole board hearing in 2012, Manson bragged that he was a “very dangerous man.”
“I’m special. I’m not like the average inmate,” he told a prison psychologist, ABC News reported at the time.
“I have spent my life in prison. I have put five people in the grave.”
Victims of the Manson family murders
In 1969, notorious cult leader Charles Manson convinced his devoted followers to carry out a series of murders in Los Angeles, California.
At least seven people were killed in the brutal attacks from August 8 to 10, including:
- Sharon Tate
- Paul Richard Polanski (Tate’s unborn child)
- Abigail Folger
- Wojciech Frykowski
- Steven Parent
- Jay Sebring
- Leno LaBianca
- Rosemary LaBianca
As echoed in the newly released recordings, Manson spent time in jail before the Helter Skelter murders committed by his cult.
He had previously been arrested for multiple charges including rape, theft, and violating parole.
Following being arrested, charged, and tried for the 1969 killings, Manson was originally sentenced to death but ended up serving a commuted life sentence after California’s death penalty was halted in 1972.
He died of natural causes in 2017.
The new docuseries goes through Manson’s life before he became the leader of a commune featuring mostly women, who he eventually convinced to carry out the killings.
