12. Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin’s guitarist Jimmy Page was very interested in Aleister Crowley and his occult teachings about selfishly focusing your intentions on what you want out of life. He was such a big fan, in fact, that he purchased Crowley’s former home in Loch Ness, Scotland. Page believed that the house was haunted. He told stories about how people had died in that house, and explained the strange sounds he often heard when he stayed there. This lead to a lot of people believing that he must have sold his soul to the Devil, like a lot of other famous musicians throughout the ages.
People began to spread rumors that if Jimmy Page was a Satanist, then the entire band of Led Zeppelin was, too. This started the myth that if you play “Stairway to Heaven” backward, you will hear demonic voices speaking.
