Charles Manson Last Prison Phone Call: 'Dead But Never Die'

A report has revealed the details of homicidal cult leader Charles Manson’s last phone call with his long-time friend just days before his death.

The phone conversation with Ben Gurecki, Manson's friend of 23 years, took place two days before he was admitted to a hospital in Kern County, California, where he died on Nov. 19.

Speaking to the Sun, Gurecki revealed that he received the phone call from Manson early morning Nov. 12. According to Gurecki, in the last 60 seconds of the conversation, Manson said, “Gone in the sky the dead but never die” before he declared that he has “love for all."

The transcript of the phone call between the two was released by the Sun.

"Not yet found just a dream of hearsay. Who’s, what’s, why’s, for what?"

"We each can make up our own dreams with the storyline as soon as we are nowhere we can change."

"As soon as I get up, out, around me will become a team. The beast, a priest, midnight and not as much as all."

"Nothing with everyone and everything over and gone to start backward again and again to nowhere and nothing again."

"To where you know it all as forever and some more, nothing again to where you know it all as forever and some more. Love for all. You are or could maybe and more. Not at........."

According to Gurecki, the call was then cut by the Corcoran State Prison, California, where Manson had been incarcerated.

Gurecki, over the past one year, has released several calls with Manson on his YouTube channel, Manson’s Underworld Production’s, the New York Daily News reported.

He also claimed, with regards to his previous phone calls with Manson, that the cult leader knew his end was near. He said that Manson complained of “heart failure” and kept saying “over and over” in recent weeks, claiming that he was tired.

However, he said that Manson was one of those people who were not afraid to accept reality. Gurecki said Manson believed he would be reincarnated as a scorpion or a crow.

Reviewing his last phone call with Manson, he said, “The whole conversation was him just talking like normal and rambling but the last 60 seconds is quite profound I think. I believe in retrospect he was talking about his own demise. But you know he won because he didn’t die in prison which he didn’t want to do.”

Gurecki also said that Manson did not deserve to be in prison because he “never put a knife in anybody."

Defending Manson further, he said no one can make anyone else do anything. Though he did not respect anyone taking people's lives, Gurecki said that he had a problem with someone spending 48 years in jail, which he believes is longer than what Manson deserved.

He revealed that he would release the full recording of his last conversation with Manson on his YouTube channel later this year.

Manson, whose followers went on a murder spree in Los Angeles in 1969, plunging the city in terror and the country in shock, spent more than four decades behind bars, and was often cited as the dark side of the 60s counterculture.

He died at the age of 83.

The news of his death was confirmed by California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Krissi Khokhobashvili, who said Manson died of natural causes.

One of his victims included actress Sharon Tate who was eight months pregnant at the time. She was stabbed to death while she begged for her baby’s life, reports suggested.
