The Nightstalker About 9 years ago, I was at a dark place in my life, as we all are at times. I began researching serial killers. There was one in particular from my home state of Texas that held my fascination. His name   was Richard Ramirez, better known as The Nightstalker who was a devout Satanist. If you are in your 30’s or older, you may recall the photos of him from the well documented trial. You can still find them on google images and various   websites, his devilish smirk, evil eyes and the infamous image of his palm donning an upside down pentagram. One of his quotes to the courtroom were “I am beyond good and evil. I will be avenged. Satan dwells in us all” and upon learning of his guilty verdict, “Big deal. Death comes with the territory. See you at Disneyland” You get the idea, he wasn’t a good guy. Don’t ask me why but I got the urge to find his mailing address at San Quentin State Prison and write him a letter. I did not use my real name or divulge any real personal information about myself (I’m a writer, I can make things up). About 3.5 months later, he wrote back. In the letter, he was cordial and friendly. He asked about my life, then it got creepy. I mentioned I have a Sister who reads the Satanic Bible in my letter (didn’t use her real name). He said to tell her “Hi” for him and “to keep believing and that Satan lives in all of us.”   When I told her, she felt sick. I just laughed and said “That’s what you get for playing with fire Ms big, bad Satanist!” Needless to say, I haven’t written back since. He died in prison in 2013.
