Starting his life as a petty criminal, Charles Manson became a self-proclaimed philosophical guru.
Most of the members in his association were young women and girls who were looking for a new way of life.
The members of his association, the Manson Family, killed Sharon Tate and others present at the actress's Beverly Hills home.
He was inspired by the Beatles song Helter Skelter and he decoded the song in his own way to announce a war against society.
