Imagine if someone you loved confided a dark mission, one to not save lives but to take them, believing it was their holy duty. Would you follow them down that path?

In the early '80s, California was terrorized by Suzan and Michael Bear Carson, a couple consumed by a bizarre mission: to eradicate "witches" they deemed corrupt. This episode unravels the chilling story of the “San Francisco Witch Killers.” Suzan, the dominant force, saw herself as a mystic, guiding her partner Michael in a twisted quest. What began with murder in San Francisco spiraled into a nomadic spree across California, leaving a trail of bodies and haunting questions.

Join us as we dive deep into how fanaticism and delusion bound these two together in a deadly pact. How did Suzan’s influence become so powerful? And was Michael an innocent drawn into her darkness, or an accomplice who believed as she did? Their story raises questions about influence, manipulation, and the terrifying potential of shared delusion.

As you listen, consider: could anyone else have stopped them, or does this story reveal something more sinister—about belief, control, and the terrifying hold one person can have over another? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you believe the Carsons were victims of delusion, or is there something even darker at play?
