Well, California... But I'm from. So I remember this period vividly. Okay. So by the way, the Tate LaBianca killings occurred on my birthday, the year I graduated from high school. So I remember this. Happy birthday. A term which has been used for that, there's a writer by the name of Todd Wood who's coined, I wish I'd come up with this, killer-fornia.

And which is just sort of a chronicle of the serial killers and disappearances in the late 60s and 70s. So you've got the Zodiac, you've got other ones. I mean, you know, I hate to say it, I'm not trying to be flippant about it, but I mean, young female hitchhikers were disappearing at an alarming rate in Northern California. There are bodies that have never been attributed.

Some think that they're the Zodiac's victims, but it was a dangerous time. Uh, Edmund Kemper, you know, the co-ed killer was, was another one. And there were a lot of, uh, creepy psychopaths running around. I don't know if it was something in the water or what was going on, but it was a menacing in some cases. Um,

Hitchhiking, especially if you were alone and female, was not something you wanted to do in much of the Golden State. Certainly not if around the Bay Area.

And if you don't share their theory, then you're part of the problem in some form or another. So I'm not sure, for instance, that the Zodiac killings were all committed by the same person. I think there might have been multiple people involved. And the first killings are all of couples.

So what I was going to look at is that there are all of these accusations that there is an occult aspect to it. There was some sort of ritualistic...
