Smiling man with a hammer
- We were sleeping in bed in a garage that had windows on its door. Mary thought someone was attempting to break in, but we could not see anyone in the dark shadows. There were homeless people outside. A few minutes later, Mary woke me up screaming that someone was breaking in. I looked up and a man casually walked into the room smiling, holding a hammer. I woke up screaming for real and Mary asked me about it the next morning.
- Jonestown (Wikipedia)
The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, better known by its informal name “Jonestown”, was a remote settlement in Guyana established by the Peoples Temple, an American cult under the leadership of Jim Jones. Jonestown became internationally infamous when, on November 18, 1978, a total of 918 people died at the settlement, at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma, and at a Temple-run building in Georgetown, Guyana’s capital city. The name of the settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations.
