Witches have fueled the nightmares of children
and adults alike since the myths of ancient
civilizations. Powers beyond our imagining
are a threat beyond our control, and when
the fear of those possibilities builds an
unstable foundation, the consequences can
be lethal. America is no stranger to the frenzy
of a witch hunt—the hysterical violence
that seeps between the cracks of misguided
spiritual beliefs and turns ordinary personal
squabbles into deadly encounters. Witch hysteria,
in a way, did not end in 1692 Salem Massachusetts.
In 1981, a married couple embarked on a cross-country
crusade. Starting in San Francisco, Suzan
and Michael Bear Carson believed they were
ridding the country of witches, one murder
at a time.

THE 1980’S WITCH KILLERS
In the 1970s, James Carson was a family man
with a Master’s degree living in Phoenix,
Arizona. His daughter, Jenn, remembers him
being a wonderful father and admits to being
a daddy’s girl. But by the time Jenn was
five years old, her mother noticed a significant
change in James’ behavior. She became scared,
and left one night with her daughter. The
pair moved every six months and cut off ties
with mutual acquaintances to avoid being tracked
down by James.
But James didn’t seem interested in tracking
down his former family. Instead, he met Suzan
Barnes, a recently divorced woman with two
teenaged sons. The two married and traveled
through Europe for a year or two. When they
returned to the United States, they took up
residence in the Haight-Ashbury district of
San Francisco. Haight-Ashbury was the birthplace
of hippie culture: drugs, art, mysticism,
and all manner of counterculture activities.
The Carsons were heavily involved in all of
that.
For starters, James changed his name to Michael,
and the pair adopted the surname of Bear.
Suzan believed herself to be a “yogi and
a mystic with knowledge of past, present,
and future events.” The pair claimed to
be “vegetarian Muslim warriors” who believed
that “witchcraft, homosexuality, and abortion”
were reasons enough to kill people. They believed
their “higher power” called on them to
kill these enemies for their own protection
and for “the sake of the country’s future.” 
Their first confirmed murder was in March
1981. It was their roommate, Keryn Barnes,
an aspiring actress. While on a hitchhiking
trip during a rainstorm, Suzan believed she
“got orders” to kill Barnes, and every
time she said it, thunder would clap. The
couple killed Barnes upon their return home.
Barnes was stabbed 13 times and her skull
was crushed. The couple later admitted they
used a frying pan on her head. Suzan believed
Barnes, having faked a conversion to their
brand of Muslimism, was actually a witch and
was stealing her “yogic powers.” Before
the body was found, Michael and Suzan fled
the area.
The Bears next showed up at a Northern California
marijuana farm, where they worked as farmhands
and guards. Coworkers at the farm described
the Bears as anarchists who advocated a revolution
and believed a nuclear apocalypse was imminent.
An ongoing fight with fellow farmhand, Clark
Stephens, led to Michael shooting him twice
in the head in May 1982. Michael would later
say that Stephens was a “demon” who had
sexually abused his wife. The Bears attempted
to burn the body in the woods before leaving.
Two weeks later, Stephens was reported missing,
and investigators found his partially burned
remains in the woods. The Bears were the prime
suspects. Among the belongings they left behind
was an anti-government manifesto written by
the Bears, that included a list of celebrities
and politicians that they wanted to assassinate,
including Johnny Carson and then-president
Ronald Regan.
A manhunt was on for the Bear-Carsons. Being
anti-government types, they stayed off the
grid and were difficult to track down. A break
came in November 1982 when an acquaintance
saw Michael hitchhiking. He was arrested,
but due to a police error, he was freed before
anyone had the chance to question him.
In March 1983, Jon Charles Hellyar picked
up a hitchhiking couple around Bakersfield,
California: the Bears. At some point during
the ride north, Suzan decided Hellyar was
a witch and needed to die. After over 300
miles together, an argument and physical altercation
broke out amongst Hellyar and the Bears which
caused Hellyar to stop the car. The three
got out of the car, where the altercation
continued. Suzan started stabbing Hellyar
until Michael got control of his gun and shot
Hellyar dead. This all happened on the side
of the 101 freeway, in full sight of the heavy
California traffic. A passerby called the
police, and a brief high-speed chase ensued.
Michael and Suzan Bear/Carson were caught
and arrested.
Initially, the Bear/Carsons agreed to plead
guilty to the three murders, in exchange for
a televised press conference. At the press
conference, they admitted to their murders,
describing their victims as witches who needed
to die. They also espoused their strange combination
of hippie-spirituality and Muslim beliefs,
claiming their murders were done according
to the teachings of the Koran. Just before
trial, the couple recanted their confessions
and entered a plea of not guilty. 
Eventually, Michael and Suzan were convicted
on all three murder charges and each received
sentences that totaled 75 years-to-life in
prison. Dubbed the “San Francisco Witch
Killers” in the press, the pair were suspects
in at least a dozen other murders in the United
States as well as in Europe, but there was
never enough evidence to bring the pair to
trial. In 2015, both convicts came up for
parole. Michael canceled his parole hearing
because, thirty years after his conviction,
his beliefs had not changed and he refused
to show remorse for the murders. Suzan, who
similarly would not show remorse for what
she did and refused to help her attorney prepare
her case, was denied parole. She will next
be eligible for parole in 2030.
Jenn Carson is relieved that her father will
not be released. She believes both Michael
and Suzan are still dangerous. When she was
19 years old (about a decade after her father
had been arrested), she went to visit Michael
in prison, her first face-to-face meeting
with him since she was a child. “It was
like looking into the eyes of someone with
no soul,” Jenn said in a 2006 interview.
She considers her dad to be “pure evil.”
If you’d like to go deeper into this story,
patrons of Marlar House at the $10/mo level
and highter today received the latest chapter
of the upcoming audiobook, “Murderous Minds:
Vol 4” which talks exclusively about this
case. It’s almost a full half hour going
more indepth into the minds and actions of
Michael and Susan Bear Carson. I have a link
to that in the show notes.
* * * * * * * * * *
It’s fortunate for Davide Bowie that he
didn’t live in the San Francisco area in
the 1980s – otherwise he might have fallen
victim himself to the murderous deeds of Michael
and Suzan Bear Carson. You’ll hear why when
Weird Darkness returns.

DAVID BOWIE’S WHITE WITCH
"Looking back, as far as I am concerned, it
was one of the most exciting periods in modern
history. It was the mid-1960s and society
was becoming more liberal minded. And I was
growing up in suburbia, eager to leave my
childhood nest in New Jersey and head down
the highway, even if the highway was a bus
route that led to Manhattan's Times Square."  
So says the eclectic Timothy Green Beckley,
who once confessed he has had so many professions
that even his own girlfriend doesn't know
what he does for a living.  
"I was always more into the night life than
a daylight routine, probably because I would
spend midnight to dawn listening to the chatter
of my transistor radio and the panel discussions
hosted by the six-foot-seven Long John Nebel,
who pioneered the concept of a radio talk
show heavily influenced by the latest developments
in the UFO and occult fields. Long John was
on New York radio station WOR long before
Art Bell made it big with Coast to Coast AM.
Eventually I became a guest on Nebel's show
myself."
It was while hanging out "after hours" in
the bohemian hotspot known as Greenwich Village
that Tim cut his teeth on rock music, listening
to up-and-coming artists like Jimi Hendrix
and Johnny Winter and, later, the likes of
the New York Dolls with their glam dress and
six inch platform shoes.
But this isn't so much about Tim as it is
another rogue personality, a charming young
lady who was an important figure in that same
time period and who had an impact on many
that has lasted to this very day, though she
passed from the scene almost four decades
ago.
Can a woman who calls herself a witch also
be a righteous, even saintly, person? Does
she harness powers that are intended to lead
to harmless, positive and beneficial results?
If one were to look for evidence that such
things are possible, then the life of White
Witch Walli Elmlark would be a good place
to start one's search.
One of Walli's most dedicated friends was
the aforementioned Timothy Green Beckley,
the CEO of the publishing company Inner Light/Global
Communications. Tim has penned a memoir of
his time spent with Walli called "David Bowie
- UFOs - Witchcraft - Cocaine - and Paranoia,
The Occult Saga of Wall Elmlark, The 'Rock
n' Roll' Witch of New York." Obviously one
can get the gist of what the book is about
from the keywords of the title. But how Walli
created a loving and compassionate life from
that strange recipe is the real subject of
Tim's heartfelt tribute to her.
The book is available as a special, full color
collector's edition featuring photos by Helen
Hovey and original art by Carol Ann Rodriguez.
It's almost as beautiful to look at as Walli
was herself. It also includes Original Spells
(the white magic kind) and a great deal of
Wiccan Lore for the student and uneducated
both.
Tim begins the book by sketching in some of
Walli's more sensational credits, such as
the fact that she did spiritual work for David
Bowie, who admitted that he owed his life
to her. But more about that later.
Tim recounts his own rock and roll upbringing,
starting as a fan of Little Richard and Chuck
Berry.  As the rock music era progressed,
Tim became a fixture backstage at places like
The Academy of Music, where he met many major
stars of the 60s and 70s. He also began to
promote rock concerts himself, particularly
with some early glam acts that never quite
made it big.
At this same time, Tim founded one of the
first, if not the very first, metaphysical
centers in the country, called The New York
School of Occult Arts and Sciences. It was
located in a 2200 square foot loft on the
second floor of an apartment building on 14th
Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues,
about six blocks from The Academy.
"We had lectures and workshops on UFOs, Tarot
cards, Witchcraft, Prophecy, Astral Projection,"
Tim explained, "as well as lessons in how
to use the Ouija Board (safely!) And we held
midnight séances every Saturday with the
medium Kitty Steele, a former model from Michigan."
There were several rock stars with an interest
in the occult, including Doctor John the Night
Tripper, who visited Tim's school in full
voodoo regalia to be photographed by budding
shutterbug Helen Hovey, a friend of Beckley's
from their teenage years. Around that same
time, Tim and Helen managed to wrangle a place
on the guest list at The Academy of Music
through a woman named Lila Schuman, who answered
the phone and did typing for the venue.
"Somehow the conversation got around to the
occult," Tim writes, "and I remember helping
Lila find a ring that she had lost somewhere
in her apartment through 'remote viewing.'
It had fallen behind a bureau, if I recall,
and that is where I had psychically visualized
it. She was most impressed, having dug it
out from behind a rather heavy chest of drawers,
pretty much where I said she would find it."
Lila next wrote Tim a letter in which she
said that Tim and his friend Helen should
meet a particular female rock columnist who
was making herself known backstage by giving
spiritual advice to some of the more open-minded
musicians who did not sneer at the super-normal
matters that so fascinated Tim and his crowd
of fellow believers.
The columnist was, of course, the titular
rock and roll witch, Walli Elmlark. Tim begins
immediately to defend her honor.
"Walli had been raised in a Jewish family
but had found the tenets of witchcraft more
to her liking," Beckley writes. "She had become
a member of the Wiccan faith, a form of paganism
going far back into antiquity and predating
Christianity by God knows how long. Walli
was quick to point out that she was NOT a
Satanist, nor did she wish harm onto others.
She was a good witch, or 'white witch,' casting
beneficial spells and using candles and gemstones
for 'self-empowerment.'
"In folklore," Tim continues, "witches are
often portrayed in negative ways, being malicious
or sinister by nature. Many are depicted as
archetypal 'old crones,' well past their prime,
who are frequently scary and 'rough around
the edges,' appearance-wise."
By contrast, Walli was beautiful to look at.
Helen, Tim's photographer friend, said that
Walli "stood out in the crowd, even among
the long-haired hipsters and mod, English-style
dressers. She was a very imposing individual,
with a very striking figure. Dressed in black,
with dark makeup and silver jewelry and a
green streak in her hair, Walli's fashion
sense was trailblazing; not really goth, but
certainly cutting edge. You knew she was someone
special, not just the average journalist with
pen and paper out to get a good quote."
Walli had already gained a reputation as a
journalist by writing for the English publication
"Melody Maker," a music newspaper that provided
the Beatles with some of their early media
attention. In the U.S., Walli was a columnist
for "Circus Magazine," a glossy, full color
newsstand periodical that appealed to a younger
audience and concentrated on hard rock bands
without straying over into politics, like
"Rolling Stone."
When Helen asked Walli to pose for some photos,
Walli was at first rather shy. But when Helen
set up her camera equipment, Walli seemed
to be more at ease.
"It almost seemed after a while that we had
known each other for a lifetime," Helen told
Tim. "She was by no means a diva, though she
could have been with her famous friends. She
was wise beyond her years and seemed to have
a window into the future of rock and roll.
She certainly had a keen ear for an up-and-coming
performer."
Helen said that Walli always had a lot of
rockers going to and from her apartment, and
not just to be interviewed. A lot of the musicians
were eager to hear what she had to say as
word of her witchcraft activities began to
spread. Some of the stars wanted a psychic
reading from her or advice about a good luck
candle.
"Walli Elmlark knew David Bowie," Tim writes.
"He had been to her apartment. They were striking
up a friendship, getting some sort of bond
going. True, she wrote a very prestigious
column for 'Circus Magazine,' but beyond the
attention she could give the newly-arrived
pop singer from Britain, whose career was
just blossoming in the U.S., they seemed to
have a lot in common on a personal level.
Bowie was really interested in the same things
Walli was. Witchcraft! Magick! UFOs!"
And Bowie was not an idle curiosity seeker.
He had experiences of his own, had seen UFOs,
believed in time travel and sought out other
dimensions, all within a spiritual framework.
Walli introduced Tim to Bowie and the two
gentlemen shook hands. But there was a large
gathering of reporters there to question Bowie,
so Tim wasn't able to converse much with the
rising superstar. Bowie later called Tim once
while trying to track down Walli, who had
the type of knowledge Bowie was looking to
tap into.
Within a few years, Bowie had developed a
cocaine habit that began to cause him serious
psychological problems. He was living in Los
Angeles (only a few houses from where the
Charles Manson family had murdered Sharon
Tate and her companions) and planning the
follow-up to his "Young Americans" album,
according to Marc Spitz, the author of "Bowie:
A Biography."    
"Bowie would sit in the house with a pile
of high-quality cocaine atop the glass table,"
Spitz writes, "a sketch pad and a stack of
books. 'Psychic Self Defense,' by Dion Fortune,
was his favorite. Its author describes the
book as a 'safeguard for protecting yourself
against paranormal malevolence.' Using this
and more arcane books on witchcraft, white
magic and its malevolent counterpart, black
magic, as rough guides to his own rapidly
fragmenting psyche, Bowie began drawing protective
pentagrams on every surface."
Bowie would later say that he stayed up for
weeks and was hallucinating 24 hours a day.
An acquaintance of Bowie's, the poet and songwriter
Cherry Vanilla, hooked Bowie up with Walli
in an effort to help the struggling pop star.
Spitz describes Walli as a "Manhattan-based
intellectual who taught classes at the New
York School of Occult Arts and Sciences, then
located on Fourteenth Street just north of
Greenwich Village," which, as we know, Tim
owned and operated.
Meanwhile, Bowie and his then-wife Angie were
living in their house in Los Angeles, which
happened to have an indoor pool. In his drug-induced
paranoia, Bowie felt Satan lived in the pool.
"With his own eyes," Angie would later write,
"David said he'd seen HIM rising up out of
the water one night."
Feeling demonic forces moving in, Bowie strongly
believed that he needed an exorcism, and asked
that his newfound friend, white witch Walli
Elmlark, be called upon to lend her assistance
to remove the evil from his home. A Greek
Orthodox Church in Los Angeles said they would
do the exorcism, and even had a priest available
for such a service, but Bowie wanted no strangers
involved.
"So there we stood," Angie writes, "with just
Walli's instructions and a few hundred dollars'
worth of books, talismans and assorted items
from Hollywood's comprehensive selection of
fine occult emporiums."
Bowie began to recite an incantation surrounded
by the items Walli had advised him to obtain.
"There's no easy or elegant way to say this,"
Angela writes, "so I'll just say it straight.
At a certain point in the ritual, the pool
began to bubble….

DAVID BOWIE’S WHITE WITCH CONTINUES…
Bowie began to recite an incantation surrounded
by the items Walli had advised him to obtain.
"There's no easy or elegant way to say this,"
Angela writes, "so I'll just say it straight.
At a certain point in the ritual, the pool
began to bubble….
It bubbled vigorously (perhaps 'thrashed'
is a better term) in a manner inconsistent
with any explanation involving air filters
or the like."  
The couple watched in amazement. Angie tried
to joke about it, saying to Bowie, "Well,
dear, aren't you clever! It seems to be working.
Something's making a move, don't you think?"
But she couldn't keep up the humorous brave
front for long.
"I was having trouble accepting what my eyes
were seeing," she writes. "On the bottom of
the pool was a large shadow, or stain, which
had not been there before the ritual began.
It was in the shape of a beast of the underworld;
it reminded me of those twisted, tormented
gargoyles screaming silently from the spires
of medieval cathedrals. It was ugly, shocking,
and malevolent; it frightened me."
Bowie insisted that he and Angie relocate
as soon as possible. Subsequent tenants, according
to the real estate agent in charge of the
property, haven't been able to remove the
stain. Even though the pool has been painted
over a number of times, the shadow always
comes back.
Along with the spiritual help given by Walli
to Bowie in his battle against the evil forces
in his swimming pool, her spellcasting and
positive affirmations made it easier for Bowie
to beat his cocaine addiction.
A close confidant of Tim's is the artist Carol
Ann Rodriguez. She was in her 20s during the
heyday of Tim's New York School of Occult
Arts and Sciences. Carol had been into the
occult for some time and decided to attend
a class at the school after seeing an ad in
The Village Voice. Carol was in attendance
for a lecture by Walli.
"I liked Walli's wonderful way of explaining
witchcraft and paganism as a positive way
of life," Carol says, "and decided to sign
up for one of Walli's classes which she held
at her apartment uptown."
In her classes, Walli lectured on the basics
of her faith, called Wicca.  
"Wicca is about love and worshipping," she
would say. "The only 'don't' we practice is
don't harm others. Whatever deed you do could
backfire on you and come back two or even
three-fold."
Walli emphasized that witches do not believe
in heaven or hell.
"There is no god seated on a throne in the
clouds," according to Walli, "and no hell
to descend to. There are low-level spirits,
known as elementals or demons, which can attach
themselves to humans who might have low self-esteem
or who indulge in harmful activities. There
is, however, a Great Mother, or the goddess
Diana, as she has been named. She was formed
out of an infinite void, creating an energy
source which no religion can tell you how
or when it originated.
"There is a reason for everything," she went
on. "The reason why may not always be apparent.
Sometimes it takes years to see the reason
something had to happen as it did, but there
is always a reason."
Tim's book also offers Walli's Wiccan views
on a variety of other matters, such as her
warnings against playing mind games, against
feeling hatred and seeking vengeance, along
with admonitions about our becoming givers
and healers and understanding the importance
of love.
"The world does a lot of talking about love
and truth," Walli said, "but in fact knows
little about it. Love to us means thinking
beyond ourselves to the other person. What
might be best for me might not be best for
him. His interests come first."
Walli's preaching a gospel of unselfish love
is a far cry from the archetypal devil-worshipping
witches gathered around a cauldron of evil
magic. The artist Carol, for one, feels that
Walli truly wanted to use her powers - and
she did have them - in a positive way and
to help others when she possibly could.
Walli was particularly drawn to Marc Bolan,
the front man for the British rock band T.
Rex. She believed he was Merlin the Wizard
reincarnated as a rock star in order to spread
a message of enlightenment alongside other
music greats like Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie.
The powers-that-be wanted to create positive
change in the world via rock music, and Walli
was part of that mission.
She even recorded a spoken word album in which
she explained this belief system, produced
by Robert Fripp of the band King Crimson.
The album was never released and it is not
known whether the original tapes still exist.
In this just-released book, Walli describes
her association with numerous rock and rollers
and counterculture celebrity types. She also
befriended artist Vaughn Bode, an underground
cartoonist who accidentally hung himself while
performing what was claimed to be a spiritual
form of autoerotic asphyxiation. And Freddy
Prinze, who was possessed by the rebellious
and often foul-mouthed comic Lenny Bruce.
Bruce was repeatedly arrested in the 1960s
for public obscenity when heavy-handed censorship
made it impossible to say certain things while
on stage.
Tim says that one of the things that intrigues
him is that, even though Walli is no longer
with us on this side of the veil, many of
those she came in contact with still think
highly of her.
"And when I tracked them down," he says, "they
were more than willing to relate spellbinding
incidents that happened to them during their
association with New York's White Witch."
"David Bowie - UFOs - Witchcraft - Cocaine
- and Paranoia" also includes some simple
spells from Walli's Wiccan practices, like
a spell to court a new love or rekindle an
old one, a spell to protect an object and
another to obtain money. It is by such spells
that Walli qualifies as a genuine witch of
the harmless - but very powerful - persuasion.
On a more personal level, Walli's parents
had never approved of her lifestyle or her
belief in witchcraft. Whenever she visited
home, she would return depressed. Walli had
been married twice and had given birth to
a son. Her parents would tell her she was
an embarrassment to them and that her son
would be better off without her.
Walli took her own life around 1980 with an
overdose of barbiturates. Her friend Carol
said the news reached Walli's friends through
a member of the family.
"I always thought it was suspicious," Carol
said, "that we hadn't gotten word of this
in any other way, nor did we see any notice
in the papers. I wonder if perhaps they had
her whisked away and maybe committed. My spirit
guides would not confirm what we had been
told."
