I Am AngelOfThyNight The Life Of Lord Rick Rowe

I decided to create the AngelOfThyNight News Network as a way for others to read my editorials and writings. I feel that writing is a way to start a movement educating the public on world events but local ones as well. I have spent two decades writing I am an author of two books, talk show host of one of the most prestigious Internet programs for many years and I have wrote hundreds of blogs. But I never really had a place that I could my thoughts into action so  AngelOfThyNight News was born.

My goal is to achieve awareness if it were not for reporters like myself the world would be in the dark and blind to the what is occurring in society. I want to take all the wrongs and make them rights even if that means exposing bad businesses, scams or even political banter. News is designed so that others know what is going on in the world but based on my experience it also is about educating the public. I am an educator perhaps a mentor to some of you. I have spent years exposing bad businesses and expressing my thoughts on certain heated topics.

What do I hope to achieve? Well I might be able to change your thought process or the way you see the world today. I write with heart, passion, deep thought and even from my own personal experiences. You will get nothing more and nothing less from me. I am not the best writer but I also am not the worst. I try to write with simplicity so our viewers but also our readers can feel me and be a part of the story if that makes sense. I want you to feel what I feel with emotion and for you to go to bed at night with deep thoughts on certain topics.

I consider myself a personable upstanding guy I do not have to do what I do nobody pays me to do this. I have provided forums, websites, blogs, radio shows and numerous other functions all at the cost of my own. Even through hard times such as living on the streets, going through a divorce, losing friends, health issues and financial strains. But yet twenty years later here I am still giving the world all I have to give. I am not a perfect writer I am human I make mistakes but one thing that you will know for sure is that my intent of AngelOfThyNight News is purely to benefit the people and to help others through my writings.

As most of you are aware I am the Founder of The Paranormal & Ghost Society. I have operated PGS since 2001 and spent a majority of my life dedicated towards scientific research of the unknown. I have written two books, been on television numerous times, conducted over 1300 investigation into the paranormal and still today run one of the largest paranormal sites on the web period. Nothing compares to all the journeys which have led us to where we are at today. I am known for doing extreme adventures cliff climbing, spelunking in unknown caves, climbing to the bottom of mines, spending the night in haunted asylums, chasing UFOs and monsters like Bigfoot in the woods. Over the years we have put out some really great evidence apparition photos, EVP and even UFO footage. We have also found some amazing tracks as I am not just a Parapsychologist, UFOlogist but also a Cryptzoologist.

I was the talk show host of AngelOfThyNight Radio I use to be live weekly for years but times change. I do host a show but its very occasional and usually they are now prerecorded. This is because I am to busy to produce ongoing radio shows trust me I get offers all the time to be a host of other radio programs. I am a stand up comedian our show was a mix of where comedy met reality sure we discussed news stories but we made light of them and also shared with our fans our journeys. As a matter in fact I think one of our programs we reached well over 100k in viewers so we have had success in the past reaching out to the public in large numbers which is what I hope to achieve with AngelOfThyNight News which is designed with social media such as facebook to achieve our goal of spreading our word.

First and foremost I grew up in Buffalo NY my life was difficult growing up as a kid. My mom divorced when I was only a year old I went to an orphanage and eventually my sister and I were kidnapped by her months later with a man she married at a bar. That man was an abusive alcoholic as a matter in fact he beat and raped her constantly. I grew up with a man trying to rape my mom who was shot outside my bedroom window. I also grew up with my family being stalked by a group of people who used blow guns to shoot needles, threw rocks at our heads and would call up making sinister phone calls. My life was very hard dealing with a mom who spent years sleeping around, a stepfather who was a drunk and a real father who really abandoned me at a young age. I was picked on allot in school kids beat me down, spit on me and teachers did it to all the way almost up to the year I graduated from Maryvale High in Cheektowaga NY. It was awful to go to school get ganged up on by teachers and kids only to come home facing more abuse it was every night for 365 days a year. Once a teacher yanked my pants down in front of the entire gym class everyone was laughing imagine the sadness I went through as a kid I wanted to hang myself seriously.

Life was hard for me I do have a sister but we do not talk she had open heart surgery as a kid grandparents always talked about leaving her everything in the will all the time. My grandmother drugged me with bowel medicine for years which has wrecked my intestinal track. Most of my family is deceased my younger son likes women my older son loves men. My mom had multiple boyfriends growing up she cheated but so did my stepfather. Their was drama every day when their was not my family was at bars getting drunk. I was a lonely child growing up once a kid bullied me at school took a piece of ice hit me in the jaw with it the other kid with him whom was my friend laughed thought it was funny. I wished that kid dead it hurt because as a kid I had nobody and nowhere to go then when I did go to school I was abused. Within two hours of that kid going home he died he was fatally struck by a police officer I believe. At that time I realized that energy is a strong thing and if I could harness it I could also do great things with it.

I remember when I was a kid my father bought a farm a horse trailer missed me by an inch that nearly fell on me I could have been crushed to death no supervision. I also once almost fell through ice and nearly had a van hit me head on. I was nearly kidnapped once to as back in the day kids were having there heads cut off in Buffalo it was scary going out to play as a kid. I grew up in a tiny house in a suburb of Buffalo called Cheektowaga which means crab apple its a Native American name. My mom was a strict temperamental small Italian woman I could not even do anything even into my teens. I am of Italian, German and Polish decent proud of my heritage its unique but then again WNY was a emigrant city back in the day segregation between ethnicity’s  were common. No less it was crazy growing up I remember once a guy dressed in a Santa Suit was carrying guns in his sack then once their was a tornado that nearly wiped out a neighborhood. Hell when I was around 13 we had a flood and people were boating down my street. I know where I get my temper from so do my friends my Sicilian mother.

When I was 19 my mom threw me out to have her bf move in with her I ran away with one bag in my hand to Las Vegas. I lived there for four years alone really had allot of heartbreaks ended up marrying a woman I felt sorry for with a son whom I raised for many years. I moved back to Buffalo NY where I had two of my own kids both were born with FAS it can never be cured. My ex wife did allot of drugs and drinking she was not good to her pregnancy. Now my sons suffer from all sorts of mental disabilities and its heartbreaking because of it.

I started getting more involved with the paranormal although I grew up with it my real father always was into haunted places we use to listen to investigations at Fort Niagara on the radio which was sparked by a headless ghost I photographed as a child. Needless to say I was a strange kid I use to be able to fall asleep standing up, see ghost and even levitate. I know that sounds weird but its true I could jump off a high height and just hover. Like I said I was a strange kid growing up but also a typical boy who loved sports, climbing fences, chasing butterflies etc and honestly not much has changed. I still climb fences, walk on the tracks, chase butterflies in meadows and really I am a big kid at heart.

I like others to think of me as a very open, honest, loving, down to earth, fun, sensitive and even sweet type of guy. But trust me when I am mad or if you wrong me ill burn your empire to the ground there wont be anything left. Over the years I been a victim of crimes such as being robbed, attacked and wronged. So I am an advocate against people that bully or victimize others so if you wonder where all of this stems from you get an idea.

When I was married in WNY things went sour my ex-wife was abusive and a drunk. I lost a friend while we were conducting paranormal research near a cemetery he was hit by a woman who was on drugs and drinking. She kept going and when they eventually caught her she did a few months time without having any remorse for this kid or the other men’s lives she changed that fateful night. I had to get away going back to my hometown brought me pain I almost lost my son because a nurse that was caring for him starting lying because she did not get along with my wife and that in itself was heartbreaking.

I wanted to run I spent my whole life trying to run as fast as I could to get away from people from the corruption that this world reeks of. I still today run I drive fast, race others, drive on cliffs and when I play sports I am always the fastest player out on the field. Yes I still play sports we own our own sports team in the league but I also play soccer, basketball, hockey and football. I spent years where I played no sports and here I am 42 years old playing more sports then I can handle. I do believe with age I believe more in more in eating healthy and fitness. Despite how hard it is for me because I suffer from Chronic Pain, Bulging Disc, Borderline Crohn’s Disease, Arthritis, Chondromalcia, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Bone Spurs In My Neck, Fybromalgia, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Bad Ankle and many other ailments. I play sports to run from my pain when in fact my extreme adventuring and love for sports is what is causing some of it.

Since I grew up in Buffalo NY I am a huge Buffalo Bills and Sabers fan. As a kid I use to go games and today I still have a love for my home teams. I just do not have much of a love for my hometown anymore the way people treated me their was poor. Yeah I had a huge fan base as PGS was one of the only paranormal groups that arose there but then people starting stealing my work such as numerous authors trying to make a buck off of our research and with that being said I moved as far as I could move to Florida where my ex-wife grew up between Orlando and Daytona Beach.

I spent four years of my life in Florida in the swamps on the St. Johns River and enjoying the ocean. I have no regrets living the life I did fishing every day, boating, investigating haunted plantations and eating alligator nuggets dipped in beer batter. I remember also being abused by the cops multiple times out in Deland and Orange City Florida area all because of how I looked. So black men cant say they are the only ones who are subjected to police brutality even white guys like me get a bad rep. Life in Florida was hard for me no change of seasons but remember enjoying the space shuttle flying over my home or Disney Land or even perhaps shark fishing all great times.

 I also had many relationships go sour to at the time I was in an open marriage and so women used me as a stepping stool because I offered them stability but they just made my life hell. Again I tried to run and run away by trying to find comfort in the arms of other women. I still think I do that time to time but then again I love all women nothing prettier then a sexy dressing lady with nice legs, pretty lips, long hair and gorgeous eyes. I am not ashamed of who I am or my past I just know what I like, want and who I am. No less I am one of the most open reporters your ever going to meet because I lived it believe me.

I often wonder about my past why I am still here if my readers understood how many times I have walked the fine line between life and death they would be shocked. When I lived in Vegas I hung out with the wrong crowd these guys were up there with the mafia with drugs, hookers and driving sports cars. One time I was so depressed that when I got ill I almost died refused to go to a hospital for two months. I had liver damage could not walk for almost a year a friend helped save my life. I was so depressed because I thought one of women I was with at the time died when in fact it was all a lie but it nearly killed me. I spent over a month in a small apartment withering away and it took years to recover. Hell that same year I was hit by cars twice on my bike two and a third time I flipped on my bike injuring my arm for a year.

Despite such obstacles I am still here besides nearly being struck by lightening, falling nearly off a cliff hanging from a plant, chased by bigfoot in the woods, being shot at and other dangerous I have faced while out conducting my research. Believe me I have walked the fine line of life and death. With that being said their might be a reason I am still here maybe I serve a higher purpose even if that is to write. I consider myself lucky because back around 2010 till about 2015 I was on allot of pills about 15 kinds. The pills nearly killed me two of them that I use to mix together can cause death in an instant yet I use to take them like candy. If I fell asleep ones it could cause my lungs to stop breathing and I would be dead. I crossed that bridge nearly to many times. I remember going out alone in the wilderness taking all sorts of pills wandering around for hours nearly almost passing out thinking oh this is it this is the end.

After Florida my dream was to go out west but not to live in Vegas which really is nothing like WNY. I am use to cooler weather, trees, lakes, hills etc. But Vegas for me was trouble always has been so instead my dream was to live in Northern California such as gold country in the lower sierras where its nice most of the year yet you still get a change in seasons. I packed up my family we left Florida and when we arrived we could not find housing it all fell through. I was living in a homeless shelter and one of the workers lost his key blamed me we were kicked out then living in motels. When the car broke down I had to park it at a church and sleep behind a church on the ground under the stars. When I fixed it some group of locals who did not like me busted out all the windows and the car was on its last leg I had no money so I drove my exwife and kids to her parents house in Vegas the same city I met her and got married in.

I lived with my in laws a few months then my father in law and my brother in law jumped me one day after fixing brakes on my vehicle. My ex was also behind it also and at that point I just ran left to stay with a friend with my kids. My ex kidnapped my son one day from school then told the school I am a kidnapper so my little one I did not almost see for two years seriously! She put a court order out after that saying she had custody when she did not it broke my heart. She subjected him to her perverse child molesting brother and her father who was a scam artist drug dealing violent man who threatened to shoot my son on a daily basis.

I lived a difficult life could not leave Vegas I had plans to move to Reno Tahoe and she put a court order to make me stay in Vegas. It was not till I met a woman and we both planned to move up here then the day we moved up near Tahoe I put in a court order to protect my sons and even me legally. I won custody in court because my ex abandoned the kids one day dropped off the little one and that was it. So I took a chance to live out my dream which is near Lake Tahoe so I could enjoy the change of seasons, It was a chance because I had a court order to remain in Vegas but circumstances changed my ex abandoned one of the kids and now another one. It was tough raising three boys a stepson that was a teen and two preteen boys. I did win in court though spent thousands of dollars and allot of energy to create a parental agreement my ex has not followed in years.

My life around Tahoe has been a life experience no regrets I love the great outdoors I cut my own firewood, spend days camping on lakes, streams and in multiple national forest which engulf this mountain range known as the sierras. I spend allot of my time in Virginia City, Carson City, South Lake Tahoe, Gardnerville and much of northern Nevada for that matter. When I am not at home I usually am offroading, exploring ghost towns, drinking ale at a brewery, wine tasting, photographing nature or just admiring the snow capped mountains here. Every chance I have to be outdoors I have with Lake Tahoe being one of my favorite places in the world and besides driving around it most of my Bigfoot experiences have taken place up here. That does not even include some of my personal encounters with aliens and UFOs so I feel blessed to have experienced the things I have even as crazy as it sounds to my viewers.

I been up here near Tahoe since 2011 and have built a life for myself. When I moved here I took in a rescue dog named Rascal he is an American Bulldog. Now here I am with four cats also which were born a few weeks before my companion Sneezer died of cancer. Sneezer was born in Florida and he was really a huge part of my heart. When I was homeless he was homeless with me when I road all throughout gold country searching for homes he came with me sat up on the dash. When I went through my divorce in Las Vegas he was with me even when the kids were not around. I moved him up to the Tahoe area and in October 2015 he passed away. It broke my heart but my little girl kitty at the time gave birth to four healthy black kitties and one tabby I kept them all. Now they are nearly two years old and they have all taken after him so their is a touching story at the end of this all afterall.

I guess you can consider me a bit of a recluse sure I have allot of friends across the world but up here in Tahoe it gets lonely. Most people live elsewhere but here it takes a certain type of person to have a love for the mountains here to endure them and be a part of it all. Nevada is a gorgeous state more mountains and ranges then any other state really in the lower 48. If you want to feel desolation just go out with me on one of our adventures you will hear a pin drop seriously!

My past has made me who I am I am not shameful of it last year ago my stepfather died he actually left me a small inheritance so I went out bought a luxury truck made for offroading so I could go camping and enjoy the back country. I enjoy also taking my jeep out and taking the road less traveled. My life is simple most nights spend bbqing, watching movies, playing with my pets, hiking, fishing, relaxing with a roaring fire and trust me I have at least 40 to 50 hours a week I commit to running our websites/paranormal organization. I have enough work to keep me busy for years including hundreds of projects I have not released yet but will eventually.

I am also a marijuana advocate I been growing and using bud for over twenty years. I started some movements to help get it legalized even by using our website to spread the word. Back in the day people use to think I was some high crazy stoner and never really tried to see the scientific aspect of it. Its quite possible marijuana saved my life rather then me overdose on pills. The medicinal benefits are quite amazing but also the fact that with it comes food, hemp for making paper or even clothes. I am a medical marijuana user so even though its been legalized here in Nevada I have had a card years prior to its legalization to cultivate and use. It is amazing how ignorant people have been towards me over the years thinking that because I use marijuana that I have no intelligence and this simply is not the case. I am allot wiser and smarter now then I was twenty years ago truth be told.

I also support the death penalty I do not think its right that somebody can go in rape someone’s wife kill the kids burn the house down and rob them of their things without facing consequences other then a jail sentence which my tax dollars pay for. I believe in smaller government less control as the laws are getting more psychotic and the control the government holds over us is sickening. I pay taxes for everything and my money goes towards the military buying more tanks, missiles or politicians salaries which basically make laws that criminalize law abiding citizens. How is it that a man with a pound of weed can get more jail time then someone who molest a child or burglarize someone’s home? I am a fair man but trust me if I am out at a ghost town and you are doing something inhuman I will hang you right then and there. Their is no need for a court trial when you been caught doing something hideous their is no defense for that and you should pay for your crimes so you cant do it again end of story!

But as much as I rant on about my life you might think hey this guy is to far to the right just know I have allot of normalcy in my life too. I like to fish, hike, rock climbing, camp, watch horror movies, grow gardens, offroad, ghost towns, urban exploring, drink beer, smoke pot, cook, play sports, being a dad, ps4, xbox one, bbqing, raising chickens, snowboarding, reading, watch the Bills, bowl, hang out with friends, cliff climb, chase the paranormal, wine and trying new good eats. I always am about good eats love Asian, Italian and American Food so I travel all over just to try new cuisines. Some of you probably would not even know it but I am in a few books even of course not everyone knows how far my reach is I have my hands in allot of different projects believe me. But my interest keep me busy in my spare time.

I thrive on intelligence but I am a comedian to so I tend to blurt off random things. When I author a piece even an article I may put a little humor into my works its just a part of who I am. I lived a hard life so I am at the point that now I live my life to the fullest daily spending time with friends, smoking the best bud, adventuring from morning till night and being the wild child that I am. My favorite holiday is Halloween obviously and since it is I go all out with the decorating for the kids. I am a huge music buff listening to classical, new age, gothic, hard rock, classic rock, oldies and ambient. You can bet that I nearly listen to music daily. I also love horror movies I go to the luxury theater order beer and giant soft pretzels eat marijuana treats sitting back like a king.

I try to make others see the lighter side to life believe me I could write a book with all my experiences and hardships. My viewers only get to know a little about me here but that nowhere near constitutes the life that I have lived. I am a huge animal lover both my dogs are rescues I also try to help the needy by donating. I believe if you do good for others that it will come back onto you. At one time I wanted to run for president but the press did not take me seriously I could not get my campaign going. I still am considering running in the future maybe after WWIII since their wont be much left other then those who can lead us to a life that revolves around the people not around the elite who put us in this situation.

I am a bit of a prepper as you can tell I believe that in our lifetimes something earth changing will happen whether that is the zombie apocalypse, asteroid impact, nuclear war, viral disease like the plague or super volcanoes. I am a licensed gun owner I have a nice gun collection and yes I open carry my firearms EVERYWHERE including when I grocery shop. I am a firm believer in the constitution everything beyond that is a farce or means to control the masses. No politician should serve for decades or let alone two years then get paid huge retirement sums the rest of their life. No Senator should get a big mansions at the expense of our tax payers. I am a bit of old school and new age mixed together.

My favorite color is red and black if we ever meet I wear allot of black, People generally only see what is on the outside meaning most folks judge a guy like me. They have no idea that I am even a business owner yes I do operate my own business we do photography such as family portraits, pets, weddings etc. I also do allot of peak climbs to get the best scenic photos then we sell them poster sized to those who might want to add something nice to their office or living room. Most of you know me for what is inside but if you see me outside then you know I have 16 tattoos including a full back piece. I am big on ink and piercing’s I have snake bites, ear and eyebrow pierced. My nails are always black and generally my hair is always long and straight. My friends back in the day use to call me Dracula  ha ha. But all joking aside do not let my looks deceive you my IQ is extremely high and ill give you a run for your money trust me figuratively speaking.

My life has been quite a roller coaster after coming back from Hawaii on a family trip we found out the home we were living was being taken over by the home owner because he sold his other home which left me homeless once again in Carson City Nevada which I spent my time designing our news hub from a motel room because I was scammed by over 6 property managers and landlords in the area. So I decided enough is enough so I wanted to write articles that will make others aware that this could happen to others or rather press about it which led to the premises of this site. I spent the last two years thinking about opening up a news site and now that dream has come to light. Sometimes things happen for a reason at least I believe in that theory so maybe me ending up homeless was suppose to happen so that it could spark a career in news reporting who knows right?

By no means am I perfect nor am I a saint I spent some nights patrolling the streets other times I wear a black cape, walk with my skull cane and a top hat looking to bring down those who cause injustice upon others and bring them to justice. I know that I could die at any moment doing what I do but I simply just do not care. Yeah it would be a bummer that my fans would not get to see some of my other paranormal research or work or that I would not get to do all the things I am setting off to do. But my life is so meaningless in the universe I am merely a speckle of dust compared to how vast space is.

Space, Aliens, UFOs etc is a fascinating subject for me I believe I am an alien abductee if I am not I sure came close to alien beings and there ships over the years. I am an X-files type of guy I once was hiking in the Valley Of Fire out near Vegas when I came across a little alien in the brush not sure where it came from or why it was there. That does not include the disc that nearly flew into me one starry night then took off and did a 180. I have had numerous encounters of such strange incidents so I may incorporate some of my works on our hub that deal with such incidents.

As most of you know my friends call me Lord Rick but my alias and author name is AngelOfThyNight so all news including my own has to go through me before its published on our site here. I like to think I have had some wins in life I am on the cover of a rock bands CD, been on reality shows and for the most part our paranormal organization is not main stream so that has made us a huge success. We are not mellow dramatic where I am going to fake being scared or pretend like a piece of dust is a ghost.

I have dreams and aspirations much like all of you one is to have more children. Unfortunately it has not happened but I love kids I wish I could have a hundred of them to tell you the truth. My companion never wanted kids and honestly has never tried hard enough with me which is another heartbreak right now in my life. I want more and honestly I am tired of journeying alone I definitely want to share my paranormal journeys with others if others are willing to visit or even move up here to be a part of something greater. Lets put it this way their is a mountain near where I live that I climbed one day when I see a massive mother ship rise out of Lake Tahoe then split off into smaller objects. This does not include the monster my son and I came across in the forest below the monster on another trip.

So if anyone tells you I have not lived an eventful life they are lying to you folks. I been involved with the paranormal since a year old. Over the years people can see how much I have transformed as I have taken our paranormal organization and branched it out to do other good things such as historical preservation, This news hub is only a part of PGS its not the whole shebang though! But we want our thousands of followers to have a place they can call home and enjoy our writings most of them by me.

I like to think I am a well cultured man and I have a weakness for feminine pretty women that is my downfall we all have one or two. But women are beautiful creatures sometimes they get me into trouble to so does the paranormal but I respect women I also been victimized by them too over they years. I  guess I should tell the world have been at Area 51 and yes I am a trespasser not just of government bases but also many other places. I do not sugar coat anything and ill do what it takes to go uncover to get you guys the story. I feel bad for anyone doing wrong business or scamming others if you carry yourself that way were going to be the ones making press about it and yes the world is watching! My writings are a form of justice because knowledge is power and what all of you decide to do with it is entirely up to you but long after I am dead my writings will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of other men.

I am a dreamer I have hopes, aspirations and I want to succeed. I am a stargazer, friend, father, lover, guardian, protector and believe me ill give you the shirt off my back. Ill walk through flames to pick you up and carry you that is who I am. But if you wrong me you will know it so this goes without warning that if you are about wronging others I am the night and a symbol of justice. I will sit perched waiting for you and by the time you know I am there it will be already to late.

Some of you may think hey this guy is out there but I am not psychotic I am a man who wants to take all the wrongs making them right. I believe in harmony, living and letting live, treating others with dignity, morals and ethics. What I am against is rape, murder, war, famine and greed. I see it all the time in today’s society I know people have wronged me so much I no longer have trust in the system or let alone anybody. To get in my inner circle or even gain my trust is a feat not done by many because I have layers yes but I also am an individual who has my shields up. I remember once someone robbed me who I thought was a friend it was so disheartening but when you go through years on end of people doing such things to you in a sense you lose hope or faith in humanity.

I like to take risk I am an adrenaline rush junkie I road the Hulk Rollercoaster once like 20 times in a row. Growing up as a kid my father was not around much but he was like me loved climbing up mountains on no set path and I remember him taking me to Hershey’s theme park one of my better memories. He also use to take me to Crystal Beach as a kid which closed but back in the day it was one of the finest amusement parks in Buffalo NY. My times have changed since then some of you should know I hate cell phones I own one but avoid using it. Artificial Intelligence will be man’s greatest achievements but also his biggest mistake. Back in the 90’s when the Internet was new I was using a 36k modem to dial BBS’s. That was the first time I experienced being online then came aol and eventually the web. I remember buying my first PC for 3k I was 19 years old living on my own in Vegas bought it in cash with some commission checks I made in sales.

I always been a hard worker really when I was 15 I worked for Little Caesars Pizza by 16 I had a job at a vet office, Burger King and KFC working full time. I had my driving permit at 15 years old and I took advance courses in high school. I was a half credit short of having an advanced diploma and as a kid growing up I struggled almost lost my hearing even. But I overcame and by 18 and 19 I was working in warehouses making bank back then enough to move out to Vegas as a teen. In my later years I did construction, warehousing, debt collector, forklift driver, assembler and even factory worker. Everyone thinks I am some loser that sits on my couch but in fact I have done more labor work then most folks including professional landscaper and numerous other trades. Not many know this about me because people do not know the real me and that is ashamed most of us really do not know one another on a more deeper level.

I had aspirations to become a police officer but so many things happened in life that I never quite made it to being one it really haunts me still because that is my dream job is law enforcement. But then I look at the news see how innocent black men are being brutally beaten even shot its sickening. Its sickening that we can no longer trust our police and if you think you can think again I found out from a ex police officer here that the entire department is corrupt and they break all sorts of laws. We no longer live in a society where we can chat with the mailman, have a friendly talk with the cops at the local diner or leave our doors unlocked at night.  I remember my mom throwing me out one evening all I had time for was to grab a bag I got on a train across the country had nothing to my name but a little money saved for a small studio. Getting on the city bus alone for the first time with groceries, riding a bike to work every day, sleeping with all sorts of women because I was living alone and all I could think of is my past.

As a kid I grew up with a dog named Moses he was all I had then he got old senile sick with cancer and left me my only friend through the years. My entire life everyone has turned their backs on me writing is all I have left really. Imagine how it feels to know your family abandoned you as a kid and later on in life they have too. I really have no family my stepson was brainwashed once I left for Tahoe and he wanted to live with his mom. My older son is mentally hill a mess from being abandoned by his mom and angry at me for all she did wrong to him. My youngest each day experiences more and more behavioral issues following like his older brothers. Their is so little you can do to change that even if you raise your kids right with morals, home cooked meals, hugs, love and discipline I found none of it matters period. You just live each day knowing you tried your best and you did the right thing.Its hard to grow up with kids who have disappointed you knowing you did all you could.

See I want others to know who I am so when they read my writings they understand how my mind works a little and my thought process. I can promise you folks I will be merciless in my writings you have my word. What is the old saying more then a man and less then a god? That is me perhaps in a nut shell! I want to lead by example I have followers more then I could ever imagine twenty years ago or when I grew up being bullied. I built something most people only dream about and over the years I have thought many times about suicide even today it still crosses my mind. Their are days I wake up look at how terrible the world is and think I just want out of it all. I look back and think about my past it still haunts me to this day. I am also agoraphobic sure I can speak and give lectures but large crowds, to many people, open spaces all of that scare me greatly.

Someday id love to hold government office we need someone in office who cares about others and wants to make this right. It has to start somewhere and the world is sick. Their is enough money and housing in America that nobody should go homeless or starve. But yet our cities are riddles with gangs, terrorist are shooting people in churches and people commit crimes like a kid in a candy store wanting candy. You have millions of laws now and its a sin to take a shit seriously! All made by those who want to transform our society based on there beliefs not mine not yours. Therefore we all suffer because of the will of other men and men with power.

My teachings, lifestyles, beliefs and views will carry on long even after death. I personally would love to one day hold an aliens hand get on board their ship and travel the stars. To learn about other alien races where they come from who they are is way bigger then planet earth or even humanity. I find it hard anymore to cope with other humans everyone wants to fight people destroy nature and their is nothing but a world of suffering. Maybe all it will take is one perhaps all of us to change that as a whole but its look quite gloom.

Do you know the most disheartening thing in my career being a paranormal investigator? Its the fact that I sacrificed my marriage, time with family, all my money and even a part of my life for this cause. Only to have others steal all my research, ideas and writings to get rich and famous. All these paranormal reality shows the locations they visit, ideas etc stem from us at least most of them do. I was one of the first gentlemen many years ago to be offered a paranormal reality series it was my idea then a producer contacted us when the TV network at the time said nahhh it wont be a hit so they could not fit me into a time slot. A couple years later Ghosthunters, Ghost Adventures and all these other shows came to be. People who I either did not get along with or were butt hurt by our success only to later on get shows stealing our work so they could enhance their own fame.

For example back around 2011- 2013 the SYFY network contacted me asking me to help them on a reality series. Told me I would be the investigator on the reality show after I gave them my research, information etc they cut me out of the series giving it to a woman who is in porn and a spoiled celebrity who has no idea how to investigate the paranormal. I was brought onto the set where they faked a hell hound by bringing in a German Shepherd and having the cast hold treats to film it running through the desert. Its truly an insult to take my hard earned research then to make a mockery of it.

Nobody knows about the pain that is in my heart imagine being one of the best paranormal investigators in the world capturing evidence of UFOs, Bigfoot and having some of the best apparition photos only to see goons on television ruining your life’s research. That is how I feel when I see these shows because chances are I already talked to the producers to these programs before they selected a reality team. Generally three producers contact me on a year from reality shows they want to buy my evidence give the ones on TV the credit or they spent months taking my ideas promising me my own show then give it to somebody else.

It is bad enough that location coordinator for Ghost Adventure’s had a spat years ago with me so now to be spiteful he takes all these less known locations on our site only to help make them more money yet I get cut out of the deal. Its sad is what it is back in 2008 was homeless and producers were begging me for paranormal locations meanwhile they get richer and richer. Traveling the world, eating expensive meals, making allot of money all only to fake the paranormal. What I offered the networks was something special something you would never see on TV then they take those ideas of mine faking it. I been promised my own show for years but the problem is these producers want me to lie, act etc that is not me. I am a realist in my writings and my research. I know these shows are fake as a matter in fact shows like Ghost Adventurers or even Ghosthunters where these guys are locked in a place is all a facade because in reality their are film crews, guest, family, fans and even friends on the set standing behind the scenes. My aspiration is to be the guy that goes into Siberia alone with just a camera or one other person that is reality not acting like a place is haunted then when its not you fake the evidence.

So over the years it has left a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that producers have stole from me and handed it to some preppy boy or porn star on television for ratings. Deep down inside it hurts many times I tried to walk away from the paranormal but I cant I have seen to many things. I seen a ghost when I was only four years old in my play room an old lady that went into my closet then vanished I still remember her till this day. Hell, I still remember many things that most people would forget even memories dating back to when I was only a year old. I remember once a teacher physically abused me I was maybe 8 years old and that teacher was fired for it because he nearly broke my fingers.

You see folks I come from an enriched life with allot of experiences it does not matter that I have been on TV or that I have hosted some of the best stand up comedy you seen nor does it matter how great my research is. In the end all I have left is to make press and write about it! I feel that I have spent my entire life getting the short end of the stick. I cant say its all bad I mean I have some great aspects in my life such as making the sierras my home but at the same time not a day goes by deep down inside I do not hurt. My talents in my field of work or even with television or comedy go unrecognized all people want is the facade men or women who look good on TV and people to believe its all real instead of the guy sleeping in the rain forest interacting with Sasquatch.

With that being said some of you now know me a little better and why I have decided to open up AngelOfThyNight News. Some of the things I talk about or have dealt with are press worthy. Nobody will ever know if their was not men like me who are brave enough to convey our messages publicly. Maybe I can start a movement of our own if not my words will forever be installed in the minds of men therefore that in my book is glory. I may or may not sway the minds of men but I will always give you the stone cold truth. I am an eccentric soul I do not know bounds I like to think that their is a whole other world beyond this one. I think beyond the box and I do not consider myself to have just one talent I mean I am an artist but also I have a deeper understanding for the world in how it works. Of course nature is something I have a deep love with sometimes I walk with bears in the woods I love getting close up with wildlife.

I probably get along better with animals then I do humans I am a Gemini so I love to debate. I know some people will read a bit about me and think to themselves this guy is nuts. I like to think of myself as unique I never would want to be like anyone else not a follower but rather I am a leader. I spend my life trying to make good decisions not bad ones although like anyone I have made some poor choices to in life. I put my body through the ringer doing dare devil stunts, eating unhealthy for years etc etc. I like to think of myself as a Family Guy but I also am the life of a party and most of you I could drink and toke under the table. I like a good shot of whiskey or bourbon on occasion maybe smoke a nice cigar a few times a week sit back enjoy the view. I am all about the views that is one reason I live in the Tahoe area and now I make news here.

It is nice to know that you can go up to Virginia Cities haunted museum and see a giant picture of a piece of dust captured by Ghost Adventures. That is the one thing you will never get with me I am truthful in my works and the only people who says I am not are the people who committed wrongs because nobody wants to be exposed for being a lying sack of dog shit. At my old age I am to the point that I say what I mean I am always evolving into something more learning but also teaching. I want people to understand that I am a credible reliable source for news and information. I am a treasure trove of knowledge but also come from a very emotional tragic life which has made me whom I am today. Trust is only gained when their is no mystery so what you see is what you get.

I really am an advocate and voice of others who do not have one. I spent a good portion of my life being abused and bullied. I want to make a change yeah some writing may be blogs others might be top notch news articles. But by the time this is all said and done not only will you know me but you will feel me. Our past is what makes or breaks us that is the truth. Overall I like to think that I can touch the lives of others even if that is helping someone push their broken down car. The one thing you will learn is I am here through the tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, evils of mankind and much suffering.  I want to use the rest of my days to make a difference in the lives of others. I do not think that is a selfish choice nor did I ever think in a million years id be living out west wearing a cowboy hat climbing cliffs above ghost towns either or chopping my own firewood.

My life today is drama free I am huge on humor but I also believe in respect, honor and being there for others when they need me. I only can hope for the same I still am pretty clumsy I was in a grocery store and knocked over an entire shelf. I do not do that on purpose but I cant go anywhere with out causing a rucus ha ha even if its making a cup of coffee expect a mess and things to come falling off shelves. During Halloween I knocked a head off a zombie it rolled across the floor people were running out the double doors screaming staring at me and all I was doing was making coffee. Would you like cream and sugar with that zombie?

I am fun loving and when I write I have to talk about those good memories too. Over the years I have met presidential candidates, police, gays, church going folks, musicians, city workers, other editors for newspapers, producers and even celebrities. I am not a prude and I try not to be bias in my works. I speak very openly about my life but also how I feel which is important in news reporting because people want to feel the news not just read or see it if that makes sense. Back in 2008 I helped the homeless population the shelter was not a good place they did not treat some of us right and they sometimes threw folks on the streets without just cause. I became quite known to the homeless in Jackson providing folks with pots and pans even blankets etc. I took it from the homeless shelter because the lady that ran it was a drunk who treated the homeless like crap and in a sense I have played Robin Hood. You see that is who I am I am not ashamed to be me I know myself and I also feel others being empathetic towards others.

As most of you know I swear like a sailor I am a dirty old man I like ladies just as much as the next guy. You put a woman in thigh highs and heels you can count me in as one of the man showing some love ha ha. I like to have fun that is really what I am about I went to the Raiders and Bills game smoked bud in front of thousands on the jumbotron. Ride the subway get off have a nice dinner I mean life is about living. I still feel good about the fact that even locally I can be shopping and folks know who I am. They know us from our youtube channel where I have at one time lit my hands on fire and jumped off an television no lie. But people know us from the great adventures we continue to do for years on end nearly every week even if that means crawling into a hole to hell.

I consider myself somewhat lucky in life too my friends say I am a good luck charm. I guess you can consider escaping a lightening storm, massive flash flood that swallowed up the road, me hanging off a sink hole and even being airlifted off Gass Peak quite lucky right? I am still here so again maybe their is a reason for everything in life. I feel that an apocalyptic world would be more fitting for me one that required others to work together to survive basic necessities food, water, nature and a society that was based off the simplest beliefs. Such as do not kill, steal from others, murder, rape, pillage etc but I am sure after I am long gone I will not see a world such as this but in a time where earth was on the brink of extinction it would be men like me who would shape society by carrying such beliefs.

I might surprise some of you throw you a few wrenches but you will know me and know whom I am by the end of this news sites days. Why do we do what we do? Because we want to and I want to give my viewers a different aspect into the world we live in. You DO NOT have to agree with me but do not hate on me. I have my fair share of stalkers some people want to hurt or kill me that is not a lie. I am not sure why maybe my writing creates some butt hurt but freedom of press is are given democracy and all of us should utilize those beliefs like AngelOfThyNight News is doing. I know my writings will offend others not so much from our facebook or our google+ but I have trolls a man who has no haters is not doing enough that is my belief. But I believe in what goes around comes around if it does not I will.

I never claim to be perfect nor am I a great writer I am just ME so when you browse our sites and news do not expect the moon nor the stars expect to feel me through my works. My friends tell me I am a jack of all trades I can fix vehicles and now I guess snowboard apparently. Over the years I have had quite a few interesting careers was nearly top salesman for a company just as I had perfect attendance almost all of Middle School and a few years into High School. I was a good kid growing up back when we were kids no meant no we did not have computers or cell phones. We got the belt and in a sense kids have no direction or even discipline anymore. I believe in being an active parent and I still am as I raise my final son graduates in a couple of years.

Not much will change will continue our paranormal investigations also in less then two years I am buying a farm/ranch in the valley here with acreage, views and serenity. I will still keep being Lord Rick and I want to make a difference in all your lives. Ill never forget those who helped me in my journeys but ill never forget those who hurt me either. My brain works granted I do not have the best grammar English in school was a struggle for me I had to have speech as a kid, writing, reading etc. I did have one of the highest IQ’s in school crazy indeed. But when I was in eighth grade I shed every extra service given to me then had an IQ test scoring one of the highest. So I have and I know how to overcome that is who I am. I have had to do most of the overcoming alone and my life does get lonely. I spend allot of time with my kid, dogs and my cats. Some of it with the birds too I try to maintain some sense of Zen at times getting lost in my own world even my writings.

I grew up in the 80’s I seen the space shuttle crash, Reagan as my president, hair bands and a time where gas was cents a gallon. I kind of laugh now but trouble finds me I had an entire country ban me from entering and the NASA banned me from Cape Canaveral. Little do people know that my life has been a very long one who would think that I would be in one of the worst blizzards ever. My mom one time was buried in snow in the blizzard of 77 she had to climb and tunnel through snow to get me milk as a two year old. My father built me a tree house he never finished but as a kid I use to ride horses I actually one championships and awards riding horses. I once road a horse in the Erie County Fair was about 7 years old maybe 8 well the horse went crazy after I had gotten my ribbon it threw me off and I had a terrible back injury. My mom would not take me to a doctors therefore my back grew wrong so today I suffer from severe pain. Your looking at a man who has lived his life so believe me when you think I do not know what I am talking about you will second guess that.

Little do people also know I am a psychic I can sometimes see future events or say what someone is thinking it weird’s people out and I try not to do it trust me. Their are real psychics in the world or folks with extra talents mind over matter more or less but they often remain hidden because they are afraid to be mocked or even trolled. I face that every time I write or post a video people are never happy till they are bitching. If you bitch ill delete and ignore it that is first after making an ass of you because my church is a place of peace where others can respect one another. I had a life that was not Zen in my past one time the next door neighbor broke in my apartment to kill me no lie they dude went to jail. I guess I rub off on folks the wrong way so do not assume that is when you make an ass out of you and me!

I will keep doing playing for our sports team, chasing the unknown, preserving historic sites, drinking good beer, admiring beautiful women, making press, hosting shows, adventuring and living it up. I am not changing for anyone nor will I change my beliefs. I am somewhat an atheist I do not believe in god I believe in Christ though he seemed like an amazing man ahead of his time that folks feared maybe even shunned. I do not believe in heaven and hell but I believe their are many dimensions beyond ours that humans just cannot comprehend. Within those dimensions perhaps even on atoms may be other worlds with even civilizations or beings. I always dream of having super powers like flying or lightening or even immortality so I could absorb all the worlds knowledge. I cant do that in one lifetime let alone many. But what I can do is teach all of you things you never knew and maybe instead of following me you can help lead with me.

I will not disclose where I reside because safety is a priority for me being a father. But I love meeting new faces and old friends of course. I have no issue going to dinner with some of you drinking good beer smoking nice bud and having an upstanding conversation. I am well traveled, diverse, cultured and knowledgeable. Their is so much more I want to put about who I am or my life but you at least get the premises just like in my writings. You either love me or you hate me I am not doing what I do because I get paid so my thought is spare me the drama. You either contribute be a part of it or do not let the door hit you in the ass. I have allot of funny stories to tell but also some more serious ones. I wont live on but my teachings will.

So now you know who I am and have an idea of why I run this site. I want people to listen to what I have to say that is one of the best things others can do for me. Yeah I know what its like to be disappointed host parties no members show to, lectures that people skip, shows where I was alone hosting, people not donating when PGS was struggling to stay open etc etc. I know what its like to have your real father abandoned you or to be given away I been there man. I want to be an inspiration to others so even if its only a few or a million that read my writings I am grateful for every person that takes the time to care. Back in the day I had a homeless friend who camped in the woods. I use to check on him all the time then one day pow vanished without a trace tent left behind. I lived a life of ups and downs I was the kid in high school that once break danced in front of 300 kids. Yeah I do some crazy stuff those that know me know that if you are with me expect to laugh your ass off. Were going to rock n roll, party, smoke, eat well and by the end of the night you might have a brink with death who knows the skies the limit or wait space even.

I will not show favoritism in my writings either I say what I feel and mean what I say. Some might think I look young but my hair is graying so is my beard. I might fool you though who knows they still seem to at times ID me for beer and cigars not sure what that is about. Then again when I was in Vegas at 19 buying beer going to see my favorite strippers getting lap dances ordering pizza and listening to Pink Floyd all day living on my own. I am not sure I have changed much through the years people know me from my younger years and most of them are like wow you still are doing it up. I still urban explore I still kick ass and I still am the same guy I was years ago only difference is I learned a few tricks most of us have. I am lucky that I still have all my hair wish I could same the same for my teeth one my front tooth broke from a fork because my kid was doing something not very ethical and I went to yell at him because I am Italian we yell at times talk with our hands well yeah snapped down on the fork. So I am not beautiful but my writings will be and I hope all of you enjoy them.

Its important to know me if your going to understand my style or my works. Not everyone will get me words do not justify the live I lived nor the things I have done and this piece I wrote above is just the tip of the iceberg. I am not sure where I will go or what I will do I just know that I have to keep on going so we can see how this journey is going to end. I am Lord Rick also known as AngelOfThyNight and welcome to my crazy world. Below are some links or things I am part of so you can research who I am what I do even further. I look forward to providing all of you with provocative and controversial news you can count on. Whether you hate me or you love me one thing is for sure you will remember and know who I am.

Namaste & Godspeed,

Lord Rick aka AngelOfThyNight
