Richard Ramirez GENUINELY ate raw meat

[asdvek]

Richard Ramirez (the “Night Stalker”) was reported to have eaten raw meat,


Here’s the nuance:

• Multiple people who knew him (including acquaintances and some jailhouse accounts) claimed Ramirez sometimes ate raw or nearly raw meat, believing it gave him strength or energy.
• This behavior fit with his deliberately shocking, antisocial persona—he often tried to cultivate fear and mystique around himself.
• Psychologists generally view such stories as part of his self-mythologizing and extreme behavior, rather than something clinically significant on its own.

So: yes, the claim exists and is widely repeated.
