Author Peter Levenda discusses the purported link between occultism and the Son of Sam shootings, which he says involved more than one killer.
On the Son of Sam shootings in New York in the ‘70s by serial killer David Berkowitz, Peter said that he and many of his friends and colleagues in and around Brooklyn at that time were completely convinced that there was an entire Son of Same cult, and that other people were involved in the killings.
He specifically cites one cult called the Process Church of the Final Judgement – a breakoff of the Church of Scientology – which was later found to be connected to the Son of Sam.
“In the years since then, members of the Process church have come out and acknowledged that Berkowitz was part of this, that they were a part of this cult that was going around and killing people, basically.”
While Berkowitz is still sitting in jail for his crimes and will never be released before he dies, Peter says he has since come clean about the killings he did carry out and the ones he did not.
“We knew that there were killings that were sort of off from the other killings, we knew that there had to be more than one person doing it, and as it turns out I think we’ve been proven right. The Son of Sam killings were part of a cult, New York was full of this kind of activity at that time – it was replete - the witchcraft phenomenon had just started.”
Watch the full episode for more discussions on the hidden world of occult forces – including the Necronomicon, Nazi occultism, media portrayals of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Peter’s belief that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was prefigured even before the future U.S. president was born.
