    Nick's story is so much deeper than he had time to share on here & I encourage anyone who got something out of this very condensed version to seek out his books, the film The Fear of 13, & his social media. Nick has taken the time to personally write back to me & is a kind, strong, wonderful human. His choice to work to transcend his circumstances is one that deserves respect.

      Thanks for saying this. I would encourage anyone that really cares about humanity to take away something positive here and avoid focusing on slandering Nick or debunking his story. Anyone who's seen the fear of 13 will know that his story has been independently verified (not that anyone could make it up). Simple, uneducated comments without a lot of substance fall on deaf ears and are mostly not real people or accounts anyways, so I would urge folks not to waste their energy on such things. I'm a professional photographer who just spent a week following Nick around while he lived in my home amongst the beings I care about the most. He's a beautifully imperfect person just like all of us. May you know peace.....

      He is different for sure. He also said that it was so cold that the shakes almost broke his ribs.
