The Father and The Alpha


One of the beliefs of Hierarchy of The Lost Children, was that there are various levels of consciousness. Members strove to higher and higher levels through meditation and spiritual exercises. But another core belief is that one level is innate in a single person; the level of The Alpha. It seems that Evelyn Hamilton, daughter of New York Real Estate mogul Alex Hamilton, had been chosen as this "Alpha". She was chosen by "The Father", Chance Sturges. The Father and The Alpha seemed to share some kind of special relationship not allowed to the other members. This relationship was at least partially sexual in nature, and certainly abusive. According to The Lost Children, there was only one Father, and only one Alpha.

Almost nothing is known about Chance Sturges beyond the age of 9 when he was sent to a sanitarium in upstate New York, because his parents worried about his growing fascination with death. This fascination led him to attempt to smother an old woman. There is no record of Sturges ever leaving the sanitarium, and nothing concrete about him since.

In the 70s, a man who may have been Sturges led a kind of new age group in the jungles outside Lusaka, Zambia. That group committed mass suicide.

In the 80s, a homeless preacher in Santa Monica, Ca, USA may or may not have been Sturges. Some of the preacher's sermons bore similarities to some mythologies in The Lost Children.

The videos above represent a small sampling of the material surrounding Evelyn Hamilton and The Lost Children.

The Lost Children was a cult led by the mysterious and controlling Chance Sturges, and claiming to be made up of aliens from another world, stranded here on Earth for thousands of years.

They were represented by the symbol to the left.

Evelyn's father Alex Hamilton, New York City real estate tycoon and descendant of founding father Alexander Hamilton, hired professional "cult deprogrammer" Jared Allen Tyler to rescue Evelyn from The Lost Children.

We know this story ends in Evelyn's death.

We also know that it involves the passing of the Tioga comet, and alleged UFO sightings within that comet. We know that save for Evelyn and Chance Sturges, the entire Lost Children cult was brutally massacred. We know that Chance Sturges vanished immediately after Evelyn's death. We know that some small groups of women emerged after Evelyn's death, claiming to "believe in" The Alpha.

But no one knows the details leading up to this outcome. It's our goal to collect the rest of this material, in an attempt to tell Evelyn's story in its entirety.

This story should interest those who wonder how one man, a Jim Jones, a David Koresh, a Chance Sturges, can control so many people with little more than the force of their will. It should interest those who wonder at the limits of faith.

It should also interest anyone who has experienced abuse, or been involved in a controlling relationship, or even been involved in a cult, or extreme religious movement.
