The Mass Murderer


With clan sisters. We are in shropshire. Comment re - connection to land - feeling space between.

 See damage to the landscape We meet john simeon. I ask him to show us what he has been researching recently. He takes us to a history museum. We sit down to watch a video. Its a video about the largest mass murderer in america. He is called john johnson. He had a wife as an alias. The video shows just how savage the two of them are when combined. It shows the mass graves and the methods Jj used to kill them. 

The lady giving the talk points out that this guy was also a catholic preacher, to which there is objection from the audience. We become aware that there are catholic people in the audience. 

The woman insists that he is, but she says, "if you don't believe me google it". So a few people get onto their laptops and start googling it. She was right. We see how him and his wife lured people in through making them feel guilty that they would go to hell. 

We see a bit of video of the two of them working. John johnson was blind in one eye, and occasionally white powder would blow out of his eyelids, making his face white. We see some footage of his eyes glazing over, at which point he looks more alien than ever before. It makes us think that there is no chance he could be human, but rather he was an alien disguised as a human. 

I am shown this strange device in the museum. It is a long stick with various protruding simple devices, mostly just more sticks coming off the side. And it forking at the end. I ask what it is and the museum guide tells me that this was his tool he made to help him get the skulls of his victims out of the mass graves he filled, so that he could use them as trophies. 

I handle this bit of equipment realising what a dark history it has had. 

We are told he killed about 200000 people in his life.
