Last Blog Post & Response to Kerry Fitzpatrick

A couple of days ago, I was kicked out of a Dead Files Discussion group.  I was surprised because I wasn't sure why.  The Admin, Kerry Fitzpatrick, of The Dead Files Discussion Group didn't respond to my message on Facebook as to why I was deleted.

I waited a couple of days and then decided I would post something publicly in hopes of finding out why.  I was shocked at what I found out.

A Facebook friend found this on the page.

Kerry never contacted me prior to deleting me nor did he keep me in the group long enough for me to see this post.  I cannot understand why he would publicly call me out.  Why didn't he just reach out to me and tell what was wrong.

I'm going to honest, that pissed me off and I wanted to set the record straight so I responded to the Facebook friend and asked if anyone who was part of the group to post it.  I sent him a PM prior to requesting it too and got no response.

My Response to Kerry

A Facebook friend posted it.  It was quickly deleted and he was banned from the group.   I wasn't surprised but was shocked that he didn't even respond to that.

I want to set the record straight once more.

1.  The blog was idea from a friend.  Since we kept getting questions wanting more of our story, he suggested we write a book or a blog.  It seemed like a great idea and something that was easy to do.

2. The purpose the blog is to share our story and give others the strength to come forward and get the help they need.

3.  We have not profited in anyway from the blog.  The advertising on the blog earns pennies.  All that money is donated to charity and it's not a big donation.

4.  We have been offered a lot of money for the rights to our story.  $500,000 as a matter of fact.  We turned it down because that's not the purpose of sharing our story.  We felt that accepting that would dilute the mission of our blog-helping and supporting others.  We have also turned down paranormal teams who wanted to pay us, as well as individual groups who wanted to have Halloween parties on our ranch.  So if we wanted to profit from our experiences we could have easily done so, the fact that we didn't makes Kerry's comments invalid.

5.  Sharing our story has helped us heal and recovery.  We still have 2 children in therapy over this and the therapist has encouraged us to openly talk about what happened.

6.  I wish Kerry would have gotten his facts straight before shooting off his mouth.  

7.  We have been very open about our experiences and have done our best to answer every single question.

8.  The blog is about the show and has always been supportive of the show.  Amy Allan has even retweeted some of the blog entries.  

A couple of other Facebook friends confronted Kerry.  Their post were deleted and they were blocked.

Post questioning Kerry.

Additional Post

After deleting them, Kerry sent the message below to Cynthia

I'm not sure how many more times I have to say this but since Kerry is unable to comprehend my messages or my post accurately, I'll say it again.  We do not profit off our blog! 

I want to respond to a few others of his comments.

1.  The other admin reached out to me directly and we discussed it.  I respected his decision and didn't post any further links.  Kerry just deleted me and then made a public post calling me out.  Kerry didn't have the decency or courage to reach out to me directly.

2.  I don't have the time to set up a fake profile account.  If I got something to say to you, I'll say to you and there is no question it's coming from me.  His claim here is nonsense and insulting.  He's basing his claim off things he cannot see and frankly he is thinking too much of himself.

3.  How dare he say what he said about my children and how dare he assumed that I'm doing that.  My response to Kerry, is screw you.

4.  Steve was skeptical but Amy confirmed everything.   E V E R Y T H I N G!  My wife had a breakdown for crying out loud.

5.  Kerry's discussion group is for like minded people only if they support his views and opinions.

6 I was active on his page, answering questions, giving my opinions, etc.  Kerry just deleted them and he's even admitted he's done that.

7. Again, why didn't Kerry just reach out to me directly?

This has worn on me and caused me to think about the blog.  I feel that Kerry's actions not only plants doubts in the mind of others, singles out my children, and questions not only my credibility but the credibility of the show.   I sent Kerry one last message with my phone number asking him to give me a call, my phone hasn't rung.  Someone as cowardly as Kerry will never have the balls to call me...never.

We had to deal with a lot of non-believers but for an admin of a Dead Files discussion group to do this is too much. It was a slap in the face and rehashed too many negative memories about how we were treated when we told others and how we tried to get help but no one helped.

Therefore I've decided this will be the last entry in our story and I have plans to delete the blog in 30 days.  We will no longer discuss our experiences publicly or answer any other questions.  We will go back into seclusion as we did when were experiencing everything.

I want to thank everyone who has supported us.  Your kind words have helped us through some difficult times.
