As it said on a sign in Jonestown, "Those who don't remember the past are comdemned to repeat it."
Jonestown gained lasting international notoriety in 1978, when nearly its whole population died in a mass murder-and-suicide ordered by Jones. Somewhat over nine hundred men, women and children were slain, Jones among them.
The place was abandoned promptly thereafter by the collapsing remnant of the Peoples Temple. Afterward, it was at first tended by the Guyanese government, which allowed its re-occupation by Hmong refugees from Laos, for a few years in the early 1980s, but it has since been altogether deserted. It is now a scanty ruin, mostly destroyed by a fire in the mid-1980s and then left to decay and be swallowed up again by the jungle.

C. Goff III said, "Truth is that even those who do remember repeat the past. In 1978 I covered the kool aid party as a budding journalist in San Francisco, where the Jones cult had originated and where during the same week as the massacre, former SF City Supervisor Dan White murdered current Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. White had his own personal suicide party seven years later. Spooky noises for a spooky subject, Mills."
