**UPDATE** “Sir” Patrick is a dangerous fraud. He was never knighted and is actually a convicted sex offender who has a ton of aliases, his original name is Roger Eldon Floyd Sisson (the first) and he is from Michigan where he lived with his parents. Yes he does have a family, quite a few actually and many children whom he has abandoned.
After his real history was uncovered he fled from Florida and is now living in California mainly under the alias ‘Prince Dr. Khristian Knight’. Yes, seriously. To find out more about his criminal history see ‘The Troubling History’ post.
He uses hundreds of online ‘dating’ profiles for predatory purposes so watch out for this man or you might end up with empty pockets or worse. He’s required to register as a sex offender so if you know of him violating any of the registry laws please contact the police.
I know that there’s a lot to take in on the various blog posts and the hundreds of comments about and by him here. If you have any questions or need the Cliff Notes on things feel free to contact me via this link.
To see what happens after he is able to lure his victims to his house go to this post on the SP Info page:
Thanks,
Anita
——————
Who out there has seen that Hoarder’s episode with Sir Patrick? What a story! He was such an epic hoarder that he even hoarded words in his name, which he claimed was: Sir Colonel Dr. Patrick Donovan Flannagan O’Shannahan.
Camelot
Sir Patricks’ house was filled with wall to wall collectibles…dolls, vases, statues, paintings, really all kinds of miscellaneous tchotchkes…each one highly fragile. They covered every surface and you had to turn sideways just to walk through much of his house. The overall effect of his decor was a sort of ceramic fantasy land of prettiness that he called Camelot, an escape from the stresses of life and a bad childhood.
How bad was the childhood? He says he was found in a coal bin in Ireland and had to grow up in an orphanage before being brought over to the US by a priest. Then he says later in life he went on to serve in the military and became a doctor/tunnel rat in Vietnam that earned many medals. Oh and he was knighted (hence the Sir in Sir Patrick) after saving two royals from certain death during the war. Wha? Yeah.
What Lies Below
During the show Sir Patrick was faced with the difficult task of having to sell some of his most beloved possessions to keep himself out of bankruptcy that was looming due to the purchase of…well all those beloved items.
He is addicted to buying stuff for his collections and even his car was decked out with glittery knick knacks and a life-sized doll perpetually sat in the passenger seat.
But when the layers of stuff started to get peeled back they revealed an underworld of roaches living beneath all the pretty decorations.
Sir Patrick, Epic Storyteller
To me it seemed like Sir Patrick was using storytelling to cloak his true self and history. There’s been a lot of talk on message boards about how it would have been impossible for him to earn all those medals, or even serve in all the wars the medals came from. But regardless of the authenticity of the medals I think most people would agree that the majority of his story simply seems…improbable.
That said, it was very easy to be swept up by his epic storytelling skills. The sheer volume of his fantastical things, wacky outfits, and enthusiasm made for a story that just sucked you into his world. His storytelling set the stage and at the center of it all was the larger than life self that he had created: Sir Colonel Dr. Patrick Donovan Flannagan O’Shannahan.
No doubt he is a guy who loves stories, fiction stories more than anything. But for all his great stories at the end of the episode I was left wondering who he really was…
You can watch the full episode with Sir Patrick in it (actually it’s only the first part now) here on the Hoarder’s website.
*UPDATE: Following an anonymous tip that was posted in the comments section here I decided to do some research into Sir Patrick’s history. Turns out he’s a convicted felon and his true past doesn’t match up with the stories he’s been telling. See this post for more: The Troubling History Of ‘Sir’ Patrick O’Shannahan, Epic Hoarder And Convicted Felon’
*UPDATE 9/28 Posted a follow up to this blog called Brides For Camelot, Some Digital Footprints Of Sir Patrick O’Shannahan
*UPDATE#2 9/28 Some readers of this post may be interested in a related comment by Steve Vallillo in my Contact section. He says that I singlehandedly ruined a multi-million dollar tv deal for him and Sir Patrick.
Also, I would be killed if I didn’t live in such a far away place like Alaska. However he did stick to the polite road when it came to curse words, which was nice. Here’s the rest:
http://anitasnotebook.com/contact/comment-page-1#comment-2186
*UPDATE#3 9/28 Sir Patrick responds to this blog post and others. Well I’m not even sure how to summarize what he said so here’s the link:
*UPDATE 10/2 Started a Sir Patrick forum in the message board as an alternative to the comments section here.
*UPDATE 10/3 Looks like I got a very ugly and possibly drunken email from Steve thing morning.
*UPDATE 10/5 Hi All,
I agree with EdM’s comment on this blog about the key to Sir Patrick’s past being in Michigan. I followed this same trail last night and have privately messaged one of the possible family members.
I am concerned for their privacy (especially the girl’s) in light of his history. They might not be aware of what he’s doing nowadays or have seen the show.
I am waiting for the family response before posting any other findings.
*UPDATE #2 Hi All,
Well that settles the privacy concerns…his family has posted in the comments sections in the various blogs about him. Sir Patrick Donnovan O’Shannahan is even more despicable than I had thought and it took a lot to pass that!
The girl he associates with the bedroom dolls is his own daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for all the exclamation marks but I am thoroughly disgusted. I’m in contact with his family and am trying to sort out the true story of Sir Patrick aka Roger E F Sisson.
Will write more later, I’m sorry I haven’t had a chance to respond to all your comments yet got a lot going on today. Check out the comments left by his family and please be very kind to these poor people who have had to live through a lot.
Thanks,
Anita

SINCE THIS IS SO SMALL I’M WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS, SORRY.
I AM THE STEVE THAT TOLD THE STORY ON THE SHOW. SIR PATRICK HAS NO IDEA HOW OLD HE IS , I THINK IN HIS LATE 60′S. BUT HIS BD IS SEPT.24TH. FOR HIS PRESENT AFTER THE SHOW AIRED, HIS 1976 GRAND PRIX’S 4 TIRES WERE SLASHED.
BUT HE REALLY WAS KNIGHTED BY PRINCE CHARLES IN 1981. HE CARRIED & DRUG A JUNGLE MADE STRECHER WITH A COUSIN OF THE QUEEN. HE BEGGED SP TO LEAVE HIM THERE TO DIE. SP SAID I’M LEAVING & SO ARE YOU. THAT WAS IN VIET NAM, 1976. THE CHAP NEVER SAID ANYTHING OF THE QUEEN. BUT THEY WERE RE-UNITED WHEN HE WAS KNIGHTED IN IRELAND IN A FULL KILT PROVIDED BY PRINCE CHARLES AS A PRESENT. HE IS THE 2ND HIGHEST DECORATED SOLDIER IN U.S. HISTORY, FIRST WAS AUDIE MURPHY. SP IS ONLY 5 FT. TALL OR SMALL I TELL HIM ,I’M 6’4″.WE ARE THE “MUTT & JEFF ” OF OUR CHURCH CHOIR.HOARDERS TAPED US SINGING IN THE CHOIR DURING CHURCH . BUT THE CHURCH HAD THEM PULL THE TAPE , THEY DIDN’T WANT THE BAD PUBLICITY FROM “HOARDERS”. NOW SINCE IT WAS A HIT & THEIR RATINGS WENT UP 80% THE CHURCH WISHES THEY GOT THE PUBLICITY. (TOO BAD FIRST PRESBYTERIAN OF PORT CHARLOTTE ,FL )SP IS IN REAL GOOD SHAPE ESPECIALLY NOW , AFTER BEING TORTURED IN THE POW CAMPS IN VIET NAM FOR ALMOST 7 YRS. A CERTAIN CONGRESSMAN WHO WAS IN THE SAME POW CAMP WITH HIM & SP NEVER GOT ALONG, SO HE HELD UP SP POW PAY & TO THIS DAY SP NEVER GOT ANY OF IT, WHICH IS OVER $640,000.
HE RAN AWAY FROM BOYS TOWN & JOINED THE MARINES @ 14 YRS. OLD. HE LIED ABOUT HIS AGE TO GET IN. HE STARTED IN THE MARINE BAND, TOOK THE TRAINING FOR RECON AND PASSED. THEN SENT TO VIET NAM. HE WAS SO SMALL HE VOLUTEERED TO GO DOWN A TUNNEL & CAME UP AT A FAKE COOKING POT INSIDE THE CHARLIE CAMP WHERE THE 12 MEN OF HIS UNIT WERE OUTSIDE THE CAMP.THE CONG WERE WAITING TO AMBUSH HIS UNIT WHEN HE JUMPED UP WITH 2 – 45 CAL PISTOLS & KILLED THEM ALL & HAD A HAND TO HAND FIGHT & KILLED HIM & TOOK HIS GUN AND KILLED THE REST WITH HELP BY THAT TIME FROM HIS UNIT. AFTER THAT HE WAS THEIR “TUNNEL RAT”. HEY AMERICANS , “HE’S !” A HERO, AND HE TELLS HIS STORIES !” WE ALL ARE FREE & YOU ALL ARE MAKING FUN OF HIM !!! HE HASN’T HAD ONE NIGHT OF SLEEP FOR 8 HRS. WITH-OUT A NIGHT MARE SINCE 1976 ,SO SHUT UP !
Hi Steve,
Wow! Thanks for getting more of Sir Patrick’s story out there, it was really interesting to read.
I had a few hours free tonight so I went ahead and did some digging through public records to see what could corroborate Sir Patrick’s life story. Certainly such an outstanding history would show up in a few places here and there. But unfortunately his name doesn’t show up anywhere, including a list of POW’s in Vietnam or people who were knighted.
I also looked into the ’2ND HIGHEST DECORATED SOLDIER IN U.S. HISTORY’ angle but…nothing. Nothing about Sir Patrick on any of the most decorated lists even in the top 50. Was he maybe known by a different name at the time or something, because he’s not mentioned anywhere which would be an unbelievable shame if he was such a highly decorated hero.
Also, who exactly is this congressman? Were you afraid to mention his name for fear of retaliation or just didn’t feel like specifying? $640,000 is an awful lot of money I’m sure it could help Sir Patrick pay off his debts. Now that he has all this publicity I’m sure there’s lawyers or other people out there that could help him get that if he deserves it.
You seem like a very devoted friend to Sir Patrick both on the show and in the previous comment. An article I read said you were the one who called Hoarders to help which shows a lot of care and commitment. Maybe you could help him get the documents to prove his stories, which would be easy to get. Or maybe he already has them. You could get those documents out in the public somehow (post some or all online, get a newspaper to verify them for a story, etc etc) and that would shield your friend from all this skepticism. That would probably be the only way to get people to truly ‘SHUT UP’ as you want them to.
I have a lot of respect for Sir Patrick’s amazing storytelling skillZ but so far much of his history still seems in the realm of fiction. Despite that though I’ll keep looking into this as I get the time to see if anything out there can verify his story in some way. Anyway, once again thanks for the comment!
John Mc Cain call him and see, OK ?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the clarification!
Are you suggesting I call the alleged head of the alleged conspiracy against Sir Patrick? I’m not sure how that would prove anything since John McCain could just deny involvement.
But maybe you have tried to call McCain yourself and have gotten confirmation of Sir Patrick’s story somehow?
McCain is not a Congressman. He is a Senator.
I’m not saying this blows a giant hole in your story, but given that Senator McCain is a rather well-known US politician, it sounds a little fishy to me. Perhaps you made a simple mistake, but please understand why this seems a bit off.
Also…The Vietnam war ended in August 1974, so I really doubt that he would’ve dragged that cousin of HRH through the jungle in ’76.
LoudPrincess,
True that.
Drunkenatheist,
Thanks for commenting. Also, lol.
Hi Anita,
Did you check the Charlotte County Sheriff’s booking website? He is there as a registered convicted felon. Also look under the POW/phonies web site. the other name is there.
Hi Concerned Citizen,
Thank you so much for the tip off! I followed your leads and came up with a lot of stuff about Sir Patrick in the public record, including how he is apparently a convicted sex offender.
Check out this blog post for more:
http://anitasnotebook.com/2010/09/the-troubling-history-of-sir-patrick-oshannahan-epic-hoarder-and-convicted-felon.html
Steve I think you will be interested in reading this too.
Thank you again for bringing all this to light Concerned Citizen.
If you are willing and able to hear the truth, I talked to my children and they said go for it.Im ready to tell the story, from begining to end. Just let me know how you want to procede. Thanks
You are a courageous lady.
OH, please…. Thank you so much for sharing the true story of “sir Patrick”. Thoughts haunted me for a very long time and now… I feel like my wishes are fulfilled. Maybe it’s a good idea to send all your information/pictures/etc to Anita so that this information will appear as a major blog entry (just like I did it).
In case you decide to take a legal actions against him, I can send all my electronic communication with this pervert to you or the authorities. Back then (2002 — when this happened) I was just 16 y.o. (that must count for something). Once again, thank you.
Olena, there it is..your age at the time you were interacting with Sir Patrick in a romantic manner. Why were you interacting with any 47 year old male on the internet at the age of 16?
China,
Wow blame the victim much? It’s like interrogating a child for what the child molester has done. “Why did you let the old man touch you in a romantic manner little girl?” Can this be real?
I’m trying to keep an open mind about you but it’s getting really difficult with stuff like this and the fact that you came in searching Google for:
email address Sir Colonel Doctor Patrick Donovan Flannigan O’Shannihan
Why do you want to open up the lines of communication with SP exactly? I’m sure when you finally get a hold of him he’ll be very happy about the things you’ve been saying here.
I don’t have to reply to your ignorance but I will. China, before judging people, read all supporting information provided on this website and all the referenced links of dating websites (he’s in his 20ies in some of them).
He NEVER clearly stated his age in any of our conversations/chats/emails although I tried my best to get this info out of him. All his bull shit about the ageless, young soul, etc is all I got. In addition, I could not corner this bastard because I was young and barely knew conversational English (for his benefit). At that particular time I was using chatrooms to improve my English writing and make some friends. In 2001 and 2002 there wasn’t any information in the net on this pervert although I tried my best to find A REAL AGE or any tangible information on the man.
I have no idea who/what u are but I definitely don’t like the way you address/judge me for what happened.
Olena,
Damn I’m sorry you had to read that stuff. There will always be a few out there who will take the side of a predator even in the face of overwhelming evidence and common sense.
I could never have imagined that the truth would be way, way worse than I imagined. Thanks, Phyllis and family, for being willing to share it.
Hi Phyllis,
Just a quick note to say I got your voicemail from earlier and have messaged you back about it.
On behalf of everyone let me just say our hearts go out to you guys. That’s a huge understatement but I’m not sure how else to describe it.
I hope that all this will bring some sense of closure and empowerment to your family after these long years of silent suffering.
I cant believe that Im shaking, I havent stopped sience I heard about This. Funny thing I did see part of the hoarders show. and thought to myself it just a pathetic old Queen. and changed the channels. remembering all that happened is very emotional for me, I put it away like something that happened to someone else. Now Its back bigger than life. I have tried several times to give you just facts and figures but the other things squeeze in between the dates and places.I thought I was stronger than this. GOD DAMN HIM TO HELL!
Phyllis, this must be very upsetting to you. I hope you take care of yourself. Please, if you need support, go to your church or your doctor or a close friend. I’m sure your family will be there for you, too. And they need you. Don’t get sick or be anxiety-ridden because of this man.
fyi, I went to social security last year and they told me he has 14 children from several different women 5 of them are mine. his youngest is younger than my oldest grandaughter shes 16.he is getting ssi for all these kids except mine they are over 18.plus he receives va benifits.I had him declared incompent to handle money but the court changed it to spendthrift. and they had a bank take over his funds and pay his bills.and he gets an alowance. He might have gone to court and had it stoped.
better check your info again I personaly know for a fact that sir pat. (alias roger sisson) never saw royalty let alone saved them or got knighted. he was to busy making my life and my childrens lives a living hell in 1981.
In 1981 Roger Eldon Floyd Sisson Was Living in Wyandotte Mi and destroying lives steve. but thanks for being such a sucker
You’re not Steve V, you were SP. I have to LULZ at someone slashing SP’s tires. I have to also LULZ that you cannot seem to write as your friend, instead you go back to the usual caps lock shouting routine. Oh yeah, and thanks for slamming the church. At least those people “tried” to like SP, even though he was a creepy pedobear who chases after lolis.
Anyway if you are mutt and jeff, then I’m thinking you should keep your head down, the police might want to see what you have on your computer too.
I read your blog with great interest, especially since I saw last night’s episode of ‘Hoarders’ on A&E. Quite an interesting tale ‘sir’ Patrick has woven himself. Writing as an armchair psychoanalyst, it seems that even if what ‘sir’ Patrick says is false (hmmm) there is definitely some underlying trauma that has caused this huge fantasy world in his mind.
Also, from my limited knowledge, no U.S. citizen can use a royal title. It also seems unlikely that he could have rescued to ‘royals’ in 1976, a full year after the U.S. involvement had ended.
It seems to me that allowing someone to continue they delusions is not only dangerous for that person, but for those who defend them. A misguided sense of loyalty can be almost as bad as the delusion itself.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the comment! Yes you are right about no U.S. citizen being allowed to use the title Sir in reference to being knighted. If a U.S. citizen is knighted (which is almost exclusively done by the Queen) then that person can use the letters ‘KBE’ after their name.
For example, Bill Gates was knighted by the Queen and now can use the name ‘Bill Gates KBE’.
I also share your concerns about his friends, especially if they are being put in situations involving the transfer of money if you know what I mean.
FIRST OFF, THIS PURE RENAISSANCE, MOST GENTLE GENTLEMAN EXTREEM, DEEPY REGRETS HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS. SECOND: I KNOW THIS THE WORLD’S MOST UNIQUE AND TORTURED SOUL FOR YEARS. HIS FRIEND MADE SEVERAL ERRORS. SIR PATRICK DID NOT RUN AWAY FROM BOYS TOWN, HE IS 3RD MOST DECORATED WAR SOIDER, HE WAS RAPED, POISEND BY HIS OWN BIO PRODUCER IE..THE FEMALE WHOM GAVE BIRTH TO HIM, WAS BEATEN, FED CLASS AND WORSE. YES..HE DID CHANGE HIS NAME AND HE IS A CLASSIFED (HELD TOP SECRET) AND SO NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. THIRD: HE IS NOT IN HIS SIXTIES, IS WAS NOT A CONGRESSMAN BUT A USA SENITOR WHOM ALSO WAS, IS A TRAITOR. THERE ARE ALOT OS ERROS MADE BY BOTH HIS FRIEND AND THE NETWORK. HE HAS AKSED ME TO ASK YOU ALL TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. HE HURTS NO ONE, NEVER HAS AND SINCE YOU WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT HIM, SPEAK NOTHING AT ALL PLEASE. THIS MAN IS THE MOST WONDERFUL, GENEROUS, THOUGHTFUL, CONSIDERATE AND GENTLE HUMAN ANYONE COULD EVER BE BLESSED TO ENCOUNTER, SO LEAVE HIM ALONE. HE HAS BEEN A RECLUSE FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS..HE HAS SUFFERED EVERY KIND OF TORTUES, CRUELTY, INJUSTICE AT THE HANDS OF 99.99% OF ALL OTHERS ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LONELY LIFE. PLEASE I PRAY YOU, LEAVE THIS MAN OF GOD ALONE IF YOU CAN NOT BE KIND AND A POSITIVE PERSON. HE IS WELL AWARE THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY NEGATIVE, ARE NOTHING MORE THAN SOCIETAL PROGRAMMED ROBOTS, FOLLOWING THE DICATES OF ALL THE PLETHORA OF POIOSNS THE INJEST INTO, INCORPORATE INTO THEIR MISERABLE, HATEFUL LIVES. SIR PATRICK IS THE VERY EPITOME OF KIND, GENTLE, NON PUGNACIOUS, A MAN OF HONOR AND A CORNUCOPIAS MORE THAT WAS GIVEN BIRTH DO THIS WORLD. THIS MAN IS NOT EVIL NOR LIKE ANY OTHER ON PLANET EARTH SO EITHER ACCEPT HIM IN A POSITIVE MANNER OR KEEP YOUR STUPID, UNCULTURED, IGNORANT AND BIGGOTED THOUGHTS AND WAYS TO YOURSELF. THANK YOU AND MAY YOU BE WISE ENOUGH TO DO AS HE DOES AND TREAT ALL AS JESUS CHRIST, HIS AND MY SAVOR DOES AND WOULD…
Oh shut up.
Stop before you hurt yourself. You’re so arrogant, and full of yourself. You agreed to go on the tv and internetz and now you just got pwned.
You need serious help. You need to go to a doctor and get medicated. You need to go admit yourself to a hospital. You’re not a gentle spirit, you’re not a renaissance man, and your sure as hell ain’t Irish. You are a dirty old pervert, who has used people’s trust and abused the communities reputation just for the sake of your own sick pleasure.
And stop typing with that stupid Irish accent. I mean really? C’mon people have no pity for a liar, hell I don’t have pity for you. You get what you deserve mthr fkr.
For all the girls who got mislead by you, I’d hand you the gun to off yourself. Cause there isn’t a drug in the world that helps someone as messed up as you.
Anita, I have to say this. Sir Patrick is no one to me, not a friend, etc. I am just another female that he initiated contact with on Plenty of Fish. Even though his profile info on all his many websites, is very whimsical and intriguing, and at the least makes him seem like a good hearted guy, it did not take me more then two exchanged communications with him to clearly realize that he was not mentally right. Now, I am either much more highly intelligent then most women or…these girls that were misled by Sir Patrick have issues themselves. Such as possibly being to desperate for love or some other emotional/mental dysfunction. I think the latter of the two is the problem, rather then me being superiorly intelligent.
To even dig into and prove or disprove if he was really knighted, born in a coal bin and orphaned, or all the other fabulously told stories he weaves is just silly. Sir Patrick is obviously a very colorful person in his own mind. He is emotionally and mentally ill, his communications scream this fact, and this is his world he has created for himself in his mental illness. He says he does not like reality, he states that straight up himself. This fantasy life is his protective shell. Bottom line is he needs help, but so does any woman that felt she was misled by Sir Patrick because there is something real wrong with that picture.
Two years ago, after being single for two years, a friend bribed me (A bet of sorts) into joining three dating sites. After about eight months I logged out of them and never logged back in. I have been approached concerning writing a book about my experiences with online dating sites..as I am a journalist. What I found in that online date world is a bunch of crazy people all congregated in one place..several places actually because most are on them all. Even the most normal appearing and good men that I met and actually dated, and grew to like, turned out to have deep dysfunctions. Guess that is why they are single huh? lol
Some of the men I met were just totally nuts, certifiable..such as Sir Patrick. One I met, and ended up in a five month relationship with, turned out to be certifiable and makes Sir Patrick look sane. You could not tell with him like you cand Sir P. He is a dangerous and scary one, a true predator on the date sites, because he can pull off normal when he is totally insane. Not only can he pull off normal, he can pull off totally charismatic personalitied, everyone who meets him is drawn to him and loves him. Truth is, behind that false person he puts up, he is more crazy then Sir Patrick with his fantasies..he also is a knight, a warrior king, he can never die, has lived for millions of years like a vampire, and he would literally battle invisible demons in my living room. He also tells a tale of being in the war as a secret agent for the government where he had to kill children, and he is an ex mafia man also. He was the worst alcoholic I ever seen in my life, blackouts, insanity and he hid it all well until he moved in..then all hell broke loose. You want a real predator to call out and protect woman from, go look up Frank B. Hernandez, aka Oz, aka Raven, aka Ravenhead. So yes, I could definitely write a book about online dating.
So, having been misled myself by someone certifiable on a dating site, it just boggles my mind that any woman could have been or can be duped by Sir Patrick, he is just too discernable as to not being right upstairs, right out of the chute he is transparent. Like I said, two communications with him and I was omg..this man is cuckoo, and I stopped all correspondence with him.
Where and how did these ‘misled girls’ miss the ‘crazy’ signals?
I know I’m late to the party but this is the second time I have seen a a person, probably the same person state that a senator is not a congressman…….. I mean I learned that in 5th grade. We just watched the hoarders episode for the first time and I am still in disbelief that he is a Chomo and a liar. I guess now SP is saying to himself ” If I’m gunna lie about my past maybe I shouldn’t be so fantastical about it…”
that’s just one of the many discrepancies in his lies. unfortunately he is still at it to this day, and he’s doing it all on taxpayer dollars.
have you seen the info page? do so and show it to your friends and relatives.
You would think so but he’s actually ramped up the lying and is claiming to be a Prince now.
JUST A FEW ADDED NOTES FOR YOU ALL TO THNK ABOUT AND TO COMPREHEND IF THIS BE POSSIBLE. SIR PATRICK IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF: A TRUE ANACHRONISM, PURE RENAISSANCE, AN ETERNAL PETER PAN AND A VIRTUAL CORNUCOPIAS MORE. IE..HE IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF WONDERFUL TO ALL…ARE YOU, I THINK NOT…SO CLEARLY THOSE WHOM DENAGRATE, PUT HIM DOWN ETC..ARE NARROW & CLOSED MINDED, SUPERFICIAL, BIGOTS AND ALOT WORSE..THIS IS A MOST REASONABLE HYPOTHESIS. YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS GENTLEMAN/FRIEND TO JESUS CHRIST WHOM ALSO WAS A MISSIONARY IN THE JUNGLES AT HIS OWN EXPENSE ENTIRELY. HE IS A REAL MAN, WHOM NURTURED BOTH OF HIS TWO SIDES, FEMININE AND MASCHULINE AND HIS VIRTUES ARE UNSTANDABLY SO VAST, THEY SEEM UNBELEIVEABLE..BUT HIS VIRTUES ARE VAST INDEED.BUT HE IS NEVER ARROGANT, HE TREATS ALL WITH COMPLETE LOVE, AS IF YOU WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ALIVE….CHRIST LIKE YES!!! DO YOU DO THIS ? I THINK NOT..
Hi ‘IS NOT IMPORTANT’,
Thank you for your comment detailing more of Sir Patrick’s story. Judging by what you said, it seems like you are very very very close to him.
Also it seems like you have a very high opinion of him considering how many times you compared him to Jesus Christ.
But I do wonder how accurate your judgement of him is on the point of ‘HE HAS BEEN A RECLUSE FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE OF YEARS’. It seems unlikely that such a reclusive person would agree to go on an internationally televised show, let alone work so hard to cultivate such an attention getting front yard and car. Just sayin.
Thanks again for your comment. It looks like you have a lot of the same great storytelling skillZ as Sir Patrick. The flowery language used in sentences like ‘THIS PURE RENAISSANCE, MOST GENTLE GENTLEMAN EXTREEM’ I thought was especially awesome!
I guess that last part could come off as being sarcastic but I was totally serious.
“No One Important” Is Patrick himself…he uses the same phrases and language in dating websites elsewhere on the net.
Hi bhigh,
Yeah it does sound a lot like him doesn’t it? I specifically remember seeing the term ‘pure renaissance’ used in his WAYN profile. Also the bad spelling and name dropping of Jesus all the time is consistent with his other profiles.
Either that or it’s the most epic troll ever :D.
Creepy isn’t it???
Sir Patrick, stop it… only you could put down these words because I know you from my past. It looks like someone from your past finally caught up with you. Stop praising yourself, you are too proud, not seeing your own faults. I bet you don’t want to remember little chats and emails of early 2000nds. I just can’t stand you actually defending your dirty reputation here. If you don’t want to hear all these bad things about yourself, better stop visiting www and turn off your computer.
awesome :)
Thanks!
I really do find this all very fascinating and it gives me a chance to do some research (because I get bored in my retirement).
Firstly, to address the statement of ‘sir’ Patrick’s knighthood (given as being performed in 1981) – According to this website (http://www.scribd.com/doc/29247472/List-of-People-who-Have-Been-Knighted) there were no people knighted in 1981 by Prince Charles, nor the queen for that matter.
Secondly, as to the statement that ‘sir’ Patrick was a U.S. Marine, well to be perfectly blunt (keep in mind that I am a bisexual man myself) ‘sir’ Patrick does not seem to me that he would have passed a certain question that was legally required back then. Namely, “are you now or have you ever been a homosexual or performed homosexual acts?” (I enlisted in 1992, just before DADT was put into effect, and I had to lie). Now granted he may in fact be completely heterosexual. I do apologize for bringing sexuality in question, but it seems a valid point to refute his statements.
Thirdly, when did he attain the rank of Colonel? If he lied about his age to enlist (giving 14 years of age) and saw “action” in 1976 (again, a full year after U.S. withdrawal) /after/ spending 7 full years in a POW camp, this could put his age at something like 55, assuming of course he somehow went straight from POW to rescuing “two royals” without any recuperation time (1976-7-14=1955). Of course, there is a large margin of error here. Now, Sen. John McCain was captured in 1967 and released 5 1/2 years later in 1973. Given this bit of information, I conclude that ‘sir’ Patrick must have been a POW between 1960 and 1966 and of course released between 1967 & 1973. 1960 seems highly unlikely given the U.S. didn’t send combat troops to Viet Nam until 1965.
In short, it seems painfully obvious that this person claiming to be Sir Colonel Doctor is nothing more than a fraud. It’s painful to watch, especially when dupes who believe him to be their friend are falling for it.
Hi Dave,
Looks like we have similar curiosity about Sir Patrick’s history! After a tip off I was able to confirm your suspicions about Sir Patrick not ever being knighted and just being a fraud in general. I posted it here:
http://anitasnotebook.com/2010/09/the-troubling-history-of-sir-patrick-oshannahan-epic-hoarder-and-convicted-felon.html
I feel really sorry for his friends and the people in his church who have done so much to help him. But I’m sure it can be really easy for people to get sucked in by his storytelling sometimes…
I do not think anyone is duped by Sir Patrick Anita, not his friends, his church or anyone else. I think they are all well aware that he is mentally ill and they just accept him and the fantasies he weaves. He is a really sad case. He is a lonely man, isolated, hopeless, emotionally and mentally handicapped and his fantasies of being someone other then who he truly is, are how he survives, they are the only thing that make him feel alive. He is a pitiful man, but he seems harmless actually. I do not think he has the capability of ever following through with a relationship with a woman, if there was one who would be with him in his fantasy land. He probably could not handle anyone that close up in his space. I think his online romance attempts are just another venue of fantasy for him, another means by which he tries to feel normal, he tries to feel something as close to being loved as he can. Like all humans, he needs love..it just cannot get to close for comfort with him. And that is probably where these women get upset. Again, I think any woman that actually ventures into any kind of a romantic exchange with him is so desperate that she is blind, that are she has like issues as him, not right in the head. The woman also enters into some kind of fantasy love and romance with him, and then when it shatters and the fantasy is gone, the wake up call, she feels devastated that the fairy tale was not real. But what fairytale is real?..that is why it is called a fairytale. Sir Patrick lives in a fairytale world..and any woman who steps into that world has issues and needs help themselves. He does not hide the fact he lives in a fairytale world..it is very obvious from the get go that he is in fantasy land. Peter pan, you be my tinkerbell, things like that? Hello!
Roger E. F. Sisson, was in the Marines did a tour of duty in Nam. got wounded receives a disability pension. was never a colonel. when he turned thirty he started taking ten years off his age.I havent heard from him for thirty years so I dont know what age or name hes going by now.
he was in the first forest recon.
he was never a pow.
Do you remember his rank by any chance? And how long did he serve? Was his an honourable discharge, or was he booted out for some reason? Those details would be interesting. Thanks so much for the information you’re providing.
Im not sure but I think it was Lance corperal
Great difference between Lance Corporal (E-3) and Colonel (O-6). Not sure what promotions were like back then, but my partner made E-4 in about two years.
Roger must not have been in for long, or he was demoted…Thank you for your answer, Phyllis.
He was wounded.(shrapnel in his ankle) he might have been discharged for that.and he was getting dissability for that battle fatigue or something like that.
I found this site: http://www.vietvet.org/command.htm
It lists: LCpl. Ronald P. Sisson Silver Star 16 Dec 65, as killed in action.
It might not be related to Roger Sisson story, but I found it interesting this brave soldier was in a Marine recon unit in the right time frame, and his first initial, last name, and rank match Roger Sisson’s claims.
One thing I do know: LCpl. Ronald P. Sisson, recipient of the Silver Star, is a true hero.
Best,
Paul
Ok first things I knew SP was parading his story tellimgs form the get go. But whats really interesting, non of the stories he tells or his friends tells on his defense collaborate. For example they said he was the 2nd most decorated soldier in history 1st would be Audie Murphy. Which is true if you are referring to the US Army, but wait SP is a so called “Marine” and every Marine knows the most decorated. Shame on you SP for your lies, may God have mercy on your soul cause the service members will not.
Secondly, your portrayal as a military officer and wearing of the uniform as such is illegal. Better change your ways old man before it bites you in your hind side. People like SP are a disgrace. I dont care Steve has to say our any others, shame on you guys for being gullable.
OIF3 disabled vet
Hi Full Metal Jacket,
Thanks for the comment and thank you for your service!
Yo! Two things. One, Marines NEVER refer to themselves as soldiers. Soldiers are in the Army. Airmen are in the Air Force. Seamen are in the Navy. Marines are always called Marines with a capital “M”. “Most decorated soldier”??? The Top 3 most highly decorated Marines are:
#1 Lt. Gen. Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller. Also gets my vote for coolest name.
#2 Maj. Gen Smedley Darlington Butler
#3 SgtMaj Daniel Joseph “Dan” Daly
Second, the message from “Steve” is a lot like the ones from “Is Not Important”. Structurally, grammatically, everything. I’d not be surprised if “Steve” and “Is Not Important” are one and the same. The person told the story using Steve’s name (who knows the reason why), got caught in lies and changed the story, saying that Steve was mistaken to cover up tracks.
Love your blog, Anita.
~Waverley. Actual Marine.
Hi Semper Fi,
Thanks for your comment and for your service to this country! Yeah I looked on all sorts of lists of most decorated from any and all branches and didn’t find a thing about him. But apparently according to him that’s due to his ‘top secret’ status.
I agree that Steve and Is Not Important sound a lot alike but I don’t actually think they’re the same person. I think that Steve is who he says he is and Is Not Important is Sir Patrick. I was going through my WordPress comments info page a couple of days ago and noticed the information there indicated that the two comments came from two different locations. And the email that Steve put in matches the email address that Steve Vallillo uses and Is Not Important’s email matches an email that Sir Patrick is known to use.
That said I think it’s interesting that the two comments are so similar. Assuming that my theory about who wrote them is right, it really shows how much Sir Patrick is in Steve’s head.
Anyway, thought you would be interested in that behind the scenes stuff. Thanks again for your comment!
Schizophrenia. That or sociopathy. I feel this man is dangerous. Like a kettle waiting to go off. His words are like listening to the wordy yet infantile drivel of one gone mad. I am caused to wonder why he attends Presbyterian church services, if he were brought up Roman Catholic? I should have thought his allegiances would have gone to the church that saved him, as he tells it. Just another peculiarity among dozens.
I think also that his friend is quite mentally disturbed himself. Perhaps a schizophrenic clinging to another? Only time or heaven can tell.
Hi E. de Monmouth,
Thanks for the comment. It seems like Sir Patrick gets caught up in the stories that he tells to the point that much of the time even he believes them to some degree.
You can kind of see it during the show where he gets really devastated that his things aren’t worth the tens of thousands of dollars that he was saying they were.
I think it’s highly likely that there was no appraiser of those items and he had just made up the amount they were supposed to be worth, but had been telling those stories so long that in some ways it became truth to him. He felt so confident that he was able to say all that on camera about the tchotchke’s being worth mad money without even batting an eye.
Same with the roaches, which of course had been excluded from the mythologies he tells about his life. I.e. Sir Patrick’s Camelot would never contain something as negative and non-beautiful as roaches. So when he was confronted by the organizer and therapist about the roaches a big part of him was truly surprised.
I think the more deeply Sir Patrick becomes invested in his fantasy world 24/7 the more aggressive he’s going to be when confronted with reality. You can see some of this happening in the show but I bet it’s a lot less restrained when there’s no cameras rolling.
Like he said ‘Everything reality-based is poison to me.’
Totally.
It’s very interesting that you went back to his Missouri record. I noticed that the crime happened in Michigan, though. It would be tres interesting to see back that far. I looked around a bit, but I think he must have went by another name in MI?
Also, props for the sleuth work. Some people might say, “You have too much time on your hands,” and the like, but I think that when something is intriguing, it never hurts to investigate it. In this case, it’s good to let people in on some “reality”. And if silly people want to go visit him with their children, they have at least been warned. This is interesting stuff.
(I see why he loathes reality. It doesn’t seem he has created a very good one for himself.)
Lol yeah some would definitely say I have too much time on my hands looking into things like this. But from my perspective there isn’t nearly enough time to get to know all the interesting stories out there.
The day Concerned Citizen left the tip I was actually scrambling around getting everything ready to fly out of state later that evening and be gone for a week. But the tip just seemed too interesting and important not to look into. So I guess even when I don’t have the time I make it work :D.
Funny that you should mention the lady who wants to visit Sir Patrick with her son, even after being told that he is a sex offender, felon, etc. I was really horrified when I read her posts about that. The next blog here about Sir Patrick will address people who are thinking about having that kind of contact with him. If the convictions aren’t enough then maybe some of his own words will raise a red flag in people’s minds.
The Michigan connection is very interesting, will have to look into that too!
Here is that next blog I was talking about:
Brides For Camelot, Some Digital Footprints Of Sir Patrick O’Shannahan
Roger e. f. Sisson has been a mormon, catholic,baptist every thing except a Jehovas witness.
Phyllis, I really admire your telling everybody these things. Anita was a wizard to be able to find you so quickly.
Is Roger (Sir Patrick) mentally ill or is he a liar and con artist?
Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but now that you have found him, I think you should notify whichever authorities might be of help to you. It sounds like he has greatly hurt your family. I hope you all are doing better than can be expected now knowing all these things. I’m sure it’s a lot to grasp at the moment.
In answer to your questions, yes he is mentaly ill, He spent several years, off and on in the battle creek v. a. hospital for mental illness this is in Michigan.he is supposed to be on medication but I dont think hes taking it anymore. My kids are stunned my son Will who remembers him more than the younger kids, keeps saying its not him. but yes it is. his face might have changed, but I would know him anywhere.
I just came across this website and WOW just WOW. This is fantastic. Fantasticly Awesome.
I wondered about that guy when I watched the show, but I didn’t think there was such a great amount of research done by anyone –
This was a great read.
Thanks Thanks Thanks :-D
Hi Should be cleaning,
Lol great user name. Whenever I watch Hoarders I always end up cleaning like crazy during the commercials. If only it was on every day then the house would be spotless :).
Anyway, thanks for reading the blogs and for the comment I appreciate it!
I just read Sir.patrickdonovan O’Shannahan’s face book entry. It corresponds to what IS NOT INPORTANT’s rambling messazge. The
strange thing is 17 females and 1 male signed up to be his friend. I guess there are others out there who also do not have common sense. I hope none of them contact him personally. He is a dangerous mnan when confronted with reality,
Hi Sunny,
I didn’t even know he had a Facebook account. All I’ve seen so far is the fan page which somebody made after the show aired. If you ever come back to read this, care to share the link?
People out there please be cautious when dealing with Sir Patrick. I’m sure he’s a great person in some ways, seems like he can be charming and tell jokes very well. And his fantastical storytelling is what inspired me to write this blog about him in the first place.
But please please please keep in mind what the psychologist said during the show ‘There’s no room in his world for other humans, only himself.‘ This does not bode well for people who try to come into his world and want to be themselves.
Anyway, thank you for the comment Sunny!
All you have to do is join facebook.com and then you can look him up. He is listed as Sir.patrickdonovan O’Shannahan
Ok so I went to that Facebook page and all the writing definitely sounds like him…but one weird thing…on his ‘Wall’ it says that he thumbs’d up this blog post about him.
Does that mean it’s a faker or that he’s changed his mind about this post lol?
Anybody got theories out there about this?
he might have done it as mistake. There are lots of things that he leaves behind and that’s the reason he gets caught.
Olena,
Very true. It must be hard to juggle so many fictions at once, especially online ;).
I think I know him better than anybody FAKE,FAKE,FAKE.
Thanks ever so much for putting all of this together. I do like to cackle and rub my hands together when someone is outed as a fantastical fibber. From that first post by “Sir Liar-pants’” defender my spidey sense was tingling…
If you don’t know your year of birth, how can you lie to the Marines about your age?
Just sayin…
Hi Juicy,
Good point about the year of birth thing! I bet it’s John McCain’s fault somehow…
Thanks for taking the time to read the posts and comment :)
sEPT.24 1947. He will not admit it.
sorry 1945
sir pat.( roger sisson was born in the projects in Detroit mich.
I’m several days late with this, but I want it to be known that…
“…There is a formal procedure to remove an honour but only if the individual has been awarded one in the first place and then only after the person concerned has been convicted of a civil or criminal offence after the honour was awarded.
As far as I am aware the UK was not involved in the Vietnam War and the Royal family had no role to play in the conflict.”
That came from a contact at the Cabinet Office,
Honours and Appointments Secretariat who wishes their e-mail to be private. So, “Sir” Patrick, your imaginary knighthood, which you were awarded for something that never happened could be revoked because of your nasty crimes. I was just so happy to hear that no Royal was involved in Vietnam in any way. I love this proof, even after the fact.
dear anita Im sorry that I havent been in touch with you, my daughter needed my support and I thought that all this should be put on the back burner for a while . after my daughter bloged her father, there was a message to her from steve,wanting her info and a picture. this scared her. she is in hideing right now. and because of all this,other people might find her. shes been through enough.
Phyllis,
Yes Steve Vallillo has been hitting up Tim and I for several weeks now asking for a picture and info. He also has been emailing me trying to make a deal with me in exchange for him to tell me some ‘secrets’.
If Steve sent a personal message directly to Michaela I would strongly advise contacting your local police and Port Charlotte police about this event, as it goes beyond just bothering me or Tim and crosses over into harassment of a victim. The police can trace where the email or message came from and take action accordingly.
Holy cow, Phyllis. I was blown away to see all of this online. You are incredibly brave to be sharing your story. What a freakshow that guy is! How on earth could you have put up with him?
Anywho….Much love and many kind thoughts to you.
I believe that I have read every comment made by everyone that has posted here & elsewhere about SP. So I have done my own research on him and having a very functional brain, which it seems that 99% of you do not either by choice or by design have several questions to pose and for you all to ponder on. This will take some time to elaborate etc. Must start somewhere so I will begin with this. Is it possible that an innocent person can be convicted by the zeal of the police to nail and/or make some one accountble for a susposed crime? Yes! Do prosecuters & police frame & convict innocent people daily? Yes..Does a sexual conviction mean that all incorporate preditors? No. Is it not true the for the extreme portion of offenders of what ever crime convicted of and accused of, repeat the same offense? Yes. So, how long between convictions, how many years between the conviction of SP and his next conviction and was it for the same offense? It does not seem to appear so and from what I have found out, there some 30 or more years between the two felony convictions. Next, after looking up his drivers license, it states clearly that he has only one or two offences in some 40 years, speaking of driving offenses. A recent seat belt violantion and one other. Next, there are always at least two sides to a tale and in most case 3. His side, her side and the truth. The truth being somewhere in between in most cases. When did Sp leave Michigan & why? I have read so many tales that can not possible be all true if any? That phyllis woman states he left her, or was it Tim, when he was 2 years of age. I am very doubtful that a 2 year old has any memory of all of him and more likely the case, it was his own mother that fed lies to him, to all the other children, adopeted or not. It is stated somewhere that Hell hath no furry as a woman scorned. It is reasonable to believe that if SP left her, he had good reason and I would bet my very life that she gave him very good reason to leave and I do NOT believe that he molested anyone. The records to not validate this. Another point among many errors in all you write. In the state of Michigan, if you do time in prison for 2.5 years, you were not convicted of a blainted act of csc charge. He did, according to records, 2.5 years, did not take a plea and his sentence was 2 to 5 years, which means he was found guilty of a 3rd or 4th degree charge, the lowest felony a person can be charged with and is technically a high mistominor. Again, why did SP leave her and is she a saint? No. I believe with all of my heart that SP Loved the childen he had or adopted. I also do not believe that he had 16 children or was actually married to phylis or anyone else. It simply is not logical since I saw the show and did alot of extensive research on, about him. He is far too depressed, sensitive, articulate and more and he does not fit the profile of anything you all call and make claim to be able to prove. Also the photos, not all look like the same man. Phylis also stated that he served in viet nam, was in force recon but she did not know his rank and had no knowledge of additon subjects pertaing to him. This leave me to speculate that she is a liar, out to demean and distroy him. She also stated that the va supported his additional wives and children but hers are too old, if this is correct, then by her own addmission, she had control of his money and knowing the va system, they would allocate money out of his checks for her and any proven children they had together. Next point. As another message stated there, there are many forms of sexual csc that is under the codes of having to be registered, not all are preditors and it clears has been shown that he is not, is not a repeat offender for csc if he ever really was one and the time between crimes is far, far too long in between those. She and Tim are contradicting each other as to when SP left MI and why? I suspect that she drove him out and I challange all here to find this out for yourself, though I doubt any of you will or even want to know. She, phylis did not even know his rank for certain. I also know that if a person in the military is convicted of a crime out of military durtiction, not held in a military court, they can give that person a leave of absence and then decide if they wish to pursue a case in military court or not. I have found out that SP received an honerable discharge, two: SP, according to his DD 214 was discharged in 84 and shows many decorations. I have also seen documents that state that he served under a different name, has a top security classifed files. I also believe as most of you that this man has severe problems due to being a combat recon, tunner rat etc in the war, but I do NOT, NOT believe that his is a preditor or any kind. Possibly he has a psychosis, is severely handicapped but there is absolutly no evidence that he is a sexual deviant. Look at the stated facts. He was convicted & some a couple of years for intent to assult 4th degree, some 30 or so years later was found guilty, of his second felony, assult, which is touching a person without their consent and did 4 months in jail and had 4.5 years probation and that was about 7 to 10 years ago. This just does not ADD up to what you all state be your facts etc. I have gone to and read all of the posted, kept messages you statyed he wrote, which incidentally I think was made up inpart by most if not all of you, and no where does SP talk of sex, except that he does not wish to speak of it. Yes, he spoke of his fixation on the color white, God’s holy color to quote him and he is correct, white is God’s color and almost everything else he wrote was indicative of biblical sciptures. The clothing SP insist on, read Deuteronomy 22:5 for yourself. I have made a profile of Sp and it is obvious to any reasonably intelligent person that SP is an extreme perfectionest, eccentric, idealistic, a dreamer, so very romantic, and socially very immature and more. He is NOT a treat to any, point of reference, the police have been to his “Camelot” home which he has lived in for about 5 years and he has never been arrested there. He has not been charged with any crime other than the onabout 10years ago and a conviction for driving without a seat belt on. I also know that he, SP was taken into protective custody by the North Port police last thursday for attempting to kill himself with one of his 3 vechiles, carbon monoxide poisoning. Check this out for yourselves. Nothing about SP fits the profile you all paint of him. I do believe that he, SP is a recluse & has been for many years. His HOme is Beautiful, elegant and a joy to so many as his friend Steve stated. He is overly generous, to a fault it seems and inspite of his horrible life, which I do believe his has been and is still a victim, Sp is not taking it out any one one. I also concure with the person here who stated that she did not believe that he wants to meet anyone, for he is far too negative in his thinking to believe any one, male or female. It is also very likely he has, as he stated been abused, lied to and used by every girl, female he has ever encountered as he stated. I do believe that this man, Sp does want to die and sooner or later will take his own life which is very sad to have his life and never having known or been loved as he stated. There are many more false statements made about Sp that I might comment on later. As for most of you, I believe those attacking him, SP are filled with hate, even though you do not come out and say you hate him, it is not needed for your attacks speak louder than words. You attack, make claim that a man that likes dolls is somehow a pervert and so on. What arrogance and stupidity for those who make that judgement. I have friends, male that collect dolls and not one of them is a homosexual. You state he is a racist what blarney. SP’s belief that age and heigt are not virtues of any kind is also correct. The rest is superflous. If SP as you all refer to Sir Patrick did criminal acts, then why is he not Charged and/or arrested for those crimes or questioned at least by the police? And for all of those names to be one person, no way. Even others here stated that there is more than one R.E.Sisson and in several states. Having throughly checked all of this out, this is not possible to be in more than one place at a time. Yes, there is quite a story to be told, learned here but I doubt anyone will ever know or hear it as it really happened or is. I do believe that the extreme greater portion of you are nothing more than hateful, vindictive losers whom have nothing better or productive to do than join the band wagon, as-it-were and demean, attack and do your worst to defile and distroy a man who can not defend himself and that is why he is what he is, deleted all of his sights and as I have learned today, is no longer using the internet dating sights or even attempting to defend himself. I would wager that 99% of the so called stated facts as you all call them are not facts but that you take a little truth and add huge amounts of lies, false judgements and your own doubts, fears and more into it, to make it yourseves sound like saints in hot pursuit of law in order, dr’s and wonderful people, when it is obvious you get great joy in attacking anyone different than you all. Good bye to you all, as I believe SP stated. You sorry excuses for human beings. Praise to the 2 or 3 of you that have enough sense and humanity to appreciate and defend him even though you also were assailed for doing so.
Micheala! Have you ever actually spoken with SP, your acclaimed father since you were what age? According to Tim and Will, You had to have been still a baby when SP, whatever his name was then, Right? Do you have the courage to find out for yourself why he left, what he is really like or are you going to believe every lie, tale your mother has infected you with. I know females lie, constintly, especially those whom hate their former love, if she ever really loved him? Did she work or was he the only money maker? What actualy facts to you have to support all the claims, made by her and all the others? I know the actual location of your claimed father but I am very doubtful you care or even have the Love and more it takes to learn why he left and his feelings for you. From the show, it is clear that He Loves you still, from the fact that he has dolls, named one in particular after you and must have good reasons to have left. I suspect that your mother, phyllis however she spells her name made him leave? I would bet my life on this point as well. It is your and your brothers choice to hate him but I do not in any way believe a single word your mother stated for the facts as I have read them, seen them do not bare that out. Too many inconsistentcies, time lapses and more, much more. What you are going or have gone through is entirely the fault of more than one person and I am directly referring to your mother. I have also checked with the va and whatever name he has, used etc, the va did in fact take money from his checks always to financially support all of you, even if he is not really your biological father he paid for all of you and it was so convient for her, phyllis not to mention this or any other good facts about him. Just vile attacks, assults, claims etc. People Love dirt. If and this is a big if, you can be sival, decent and wish to speak to him in any way, just let me know and I will put you two in touch. If you do not, that also is fine for I do believe he is scared also wise enough to not tred as his long hidden history, absence, has been shown. God’s speed and blessings for you..
Hello All,
According to blog records ‘not relevant’ is Sir Patrick/Roger Sisson.
It’s a pattern, Roger, your pattern, your long-established pattern of behavior. You can still try to deny your long history of antisocial and criminal behavior, abuse and degradation of women, and skipping out on your responsibilities and obligations ,whether it’s rent money, paying for stuff you bought, or accountability to your family, but it won’t work anymore. No one made up or fabricated anything. It was all there for the finding. Your trails were found and exposed. They go back many years, long before the Internet, and now you’re trying to blame the messengers. It’s always someone else’s fault isn’t it?
**high five**
It is win!
Dear Sir Patrick,
I am now convinced. Your meandering, poorly articulated narrative is proof that you have lost touch with reality. I had hoped you might be re-introduced to it in the hospital, but they didn’t keep you long enough. Best give your medications some time to work, however there is no medication for lack of conscience and empathy accompanied by compulsive lying. Make sure to keep your psychiatric appointments!
You amaze me in that you accept no blame or responsibility for anything bad that has happened to you. In your mind, everything is everyone else’s fault. Everybody else is a liar. This is a hallmark of sociopathy. The only thing you probably regret is going on national television. Sir Roger, I’d love it if you could confess one thing to us that you have done wrong. Call it therapy.
Also, what university did you attend in order to get commissioned in the Marine Corps? Would you be so kind as to send Anita a scan of your DD 214? Perhaps you could send a pic from your Marine days, a boot camp graduation photo?
So many questions. I’ll wait with bated breath for your answers.
EdM
Sir Patrick? Roger? Not sure which you prefer. OK – that was very enlightening and your best writing to date, but still puzzling. I, for one, do not hate you. You can’t hate someone you don’t know. I hate a lot of the things you’ve done – specifically to women. I think you need a lot of help, and you’re not going to get it the way you’ve been trying – by posting lies about yourself, misleading people, and exploiting their trust.
Could you please be more specific about your past? Are you trying to say that one or more of your children are adopted? Also, I don’t think whether Phyllis worked is of any importance – she had 5 children to raise, and throwing accusations in her direction doesn’t gain sympathy for you. Misdirection is a very old and common technique of the guilty – children do it all the time.
And if you are a decorated vet, why embellish? Isn’t it enough to have served your country without giving yourself false titles and ranks? I think Anita may have said that before. Anita is a very fair person – if you provide any evidence of your service (or anything else, for that matter) she will post it and acknowledge it.
I could go on and on, but I’ll just say one more thing. I sincerely hope you’re feeling better and do not attempt to take your life again. That has never been the wish of anyone on this blog.
Think of this as your big chance to unburden yourself of all these lies and start living as YOU. Strange as it seems, this might be the best thing to happen to you.
So…I am wondering why the “poster” conveniently forgot the fact that “SP” lied to a world wide audience on the show about pretty much everything? SP had a family but he bailed on them. Most likely for the best, granted. He isn’t a knight, or a col or even Irish.
What about Olena? She got taken advantage of, hurt, yet nary a thought about her.
The poster did seem to “get” SP lots, shared the same opinion that Roger is a really awesome person that no one really gets because everyone is just bitter, hateful or stupid. It may be a good thing though, SP could use a few friends that think as highly of him as he does about himself. If that’s possible. Not sure it is though…
Roger Sisson(a.k.a. Sir Patrick):
Don’t expect any sympathy: you’re convicted sexual predator, a con-artist, and a threat to all around you.
Denying your crimes, and trying to justify the circumstances and severity of your crimes, demonstrates that you think only about yourself and nothing of your victims.
Tell me, can you still hear the screams and the cries of that scared, young woman in the car when you attempted to sexually assault her? Can you see the elderly woman lying with her broken hip on the ground as you screamed obscenities at her?
You make me sick.
I will never stop hunting you.
Paul.
so, SP, what can you tell me then? What fullish reason will you find to defend yourself in trying to lure a 16 yo immigrant girl to come to your Camelot and become a wife of a man who’s good to be her grandparent?
hm… no answer….nothing… and you want our sympathy and compassion? hm… what’s “compassion”? Oh yeah…something you took away from me. Or is it that my limited English language vocabulary is indeed limited (as it was 8 yrs ago)?
Man is guilty and only irritates me A LOT with his ramblings. I know he’s mentally ill but he sure knows how to manipulate people and irritate to the bone.
Again Olean, no disrespect intended, but why were you, a sixteen year old girl, interacting in a romantic way with a man Sir Patricks age online, or any man for that matter? Why were you not off doing sixteen year old things, including dating boys your own age? How did you manage to end up the ‘victim’ of Sir Patrick?
I am not defending him by asking this, it is just a legitimate question concerning your part in this event. It takes two to tango as they say and it is apparent that you were tango’ing with him romantically. What were you thinking and doing? If one of the things the public is going to castrate this man here for is the romantic exchanges with a sixteen year old, namely you, who (as stated) now has her wishes coming true with this revenge upon him..then I think we also need an explanation from you as to why you were doing what you were online with him. I think there is accountability in this on your part as well, lets be real about it if we are going to totally trash the man over it. Fair is fair and you are right here talking on this board and available to respond to that question..so explain yourself please.
Hello China,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, although quite long it’s been interesting to see things from your perspective.
First off I see that you came here by searching Google for
email address Sir Colonel Doctor Patrick Donovan Flannigan O’Shannihan
For goodness sakes please reconsider getting involved with this predator. Just because you came out fine one time doesn’t mean you won’t end up like all the other people he’s victimized. You said you cut off contact with him before why are you wanting to get back into it now just because he was on tv? Not worth it for romance or a book in my opinion.
If you want to see the raw documents concerning the Michigan and battery against an elderly woman cases then check out The Smoking Gun, they have it there.
Yes he is an active predator that victimizes people in many different ways. The internet has made us all in the same community now and there are plenty of people doing the right thing and keeping an eye on Mr Sir Patrick as you call him (aka Roger Eldon Floyd Sisson the first aka about a million other aliases).
As for you blaming Olena, Phyllis, his children, the elderly woman, and all his other victims…well doesn’t it seem a little odd that it would be everybody else’s fault but not his? Maybe you’ve missed it but there is an obvious pattern of him victimizing the vulnerable.
There is plenty of evidence out there to be found on SP, much on the sites I’m involved with but also out there on other blogs and in the public record, it’s your choice whether you want to live in SP’s fantasy of him being just an ‘kooky’ eccentric guy or face the reality of the situation, he’s a predator.
Anita, I came across your blog several hours ago. (I think I was using StumbleUpon, don’t really remember now) All I can say is WOW! Never in all my days have I read anything like this. Kudos to you and all the others who have given of their time in investigating this “Gentleman Extreem” I’m also impressed by your journalistic ethics. What a compassionate soul you have.
Far be it from me to judge anyone, but I do so hope this individual can get the professional help he so desperately needs. I just wish it had happened years ago. I also commend Phyllis for her courage and resolve. Madam, you have my respect and sincere best wishes.
Regards,
Joe
When “SP’s” segment on A&E aired, the first thing I did was contact the POW Network (which many others did, too). As a disabled Iraq vet also, I could easily read through all of his bravado and stories to see they were clearly false. Since then I have been periodically checking up on this via the net and found Anita’s blog here. Well done to all involved in exposing this animal. To anyone he has wronged and fooled: am sorry. This man is seriously mentally ill (as my wife, a clinical psychologist pointed out to me while we were watching it) and is in desperate need of some form of help. He also needs to own up to his lies and deceit, as well as furnish his military record to allow all of you fine taxpayers to see if it legitimately should be receiving VA benefits. Reading this has consumed my entire afternoon, but that’s ok because it was well worth it. I hope that ‘SP’ is publically exposed and all of this is cleared up so that it can never happen again. And how can A&E not have properly done any research on someone they were set to air on national television? Jaw-dropping. Every bit of it.
Hi MBB42,
Thanks for the comment and also for contacting POW Network. I was happy to see that they’ve updated their info on him and have requested his records, the more awareness people have about this the harder it will be for him to do damage in the world.
And as for A&E…believe it or not even after finding out about SP’s history they now have him featured in Air Wick commercials. I guess somebody decided to hell with SP’s victims and military people who legitimately earned medals…apparently selling air freshener is more important.
Anyway, thanks again for the comment MBB42 and thank you for your service to this country!
Hi Joe,
Sorry for such a late response to your comment, somehow I had missed it before. Thanks for your thoughts on this. I agree that Sir Patrick/Roger Sisson needs professional help. He’s been in and out of mental health hospitals (and jails) for years but I think it’s time for him to get some long term care. Somewhere where he is under a lot of supervision and is kept away from the internet since that’s how he gets many of his victims these days.
Thanks again!
Greetings all,
Just a note of edification: Prince Charles can not nor has he EVER been able to “knight” someone. The style of KNIGHT (carrying the peerage, “Sir”) can ONLY be bestowed by the reigning Monarch, i.e. Queen Elizabeth II. Since he is NOT, nor has he EVER been a British subject he is not eligible for Knighthood. Beyond that even if he did warrant a military honour it would be one of the following: The Order of Merit, or The Order of the British Empire. If this was the case, he would have certainly shown this medal to the Hoarders crew as it would have been a big deal. He has none of these honours. Being born in Dingle, (Which is in the Republic of Ireland, not the North of Ireland, which operates under the brown) he isn’t British.
In short, it’s a load of poppycock.
P.S. I checked the registry of all honours awarded to military servants during all the conflicts of the last century, and he (nor any of his aliases) are listed.
Hi M,
Thanks for your comment and looking into the honours registry!
The worst part about all this is that he uses these false stories to take people in so that he can scam and victimize them. Not everyone knows how to look this stuff up and many are dazzled by the lies of him being a military hero and an Irish orphan found in a coal bin.
Thanks to A&E re-running this episode and commercials with him selling air freshener (even after they found out who he really was) there are more and more people getting taken in by him.
It’s been really hard to convince some of the more gullible out there that yes in fact he is a rapist, scammer, fraud, and will even assault elderly women if he feels like it. They saw him on tv as this eccentric harmless guy and it sticks in their mind despite all past and present evidence to the contrary.
Wow! Been reading the all the great comments and it has my mind’s hard drive spinning back in time to a relatively brief relationship I had with a so-called cyber “friend” who turned out to be a Sir Patrick clone except for the sexual harassment bit and it was a female.
Good work everyone, especially Anita. These f’ing narcissistic lying psychopaths know what they are doing, they are not as disconnected as people think they are. They will do and say anything to get you to believe their con and when they get caught(which is inevitable seeing as most of them, but not all, are not so bright)they will do and say anything to put the blame elsewhere and if that doesn’t work they resort to the ultimate guilt trip–look, you ruined my life or you prevented me from making all this money or you made me attempt suicide or whatever other plethora of sorry ass crap they can come up with. And if that doesn’t elicit pity, they check “themselves” into an institution for a while. If they end up in prison they will say and do anything to convince the prison psychiatrist that they have changed–until they get out. They use devotion to Jesus and God like it was some kind of medicinal ointment for their case of con.
You people who sympathize with narcissistic psychopaths need a wake up call. These people are like a lion on the savannah watching and singling out which antelope will be the easiest target. Psychopathic liars have special feelers with which they can detect people who are trusting, generous, kind–and even greedy. They are masters at twisting and using the traits they find in others to their own advantage. On rare occasions, two narcissistic psychopaths find each other and cooperate or the narcissistic psycho finds someone very greedy and uses them because the greedy person hangs on for promise of future fame and money(Steve?) and doesn’t care about psycho’s lies.
Again, good work Anita and the others for bringing to light a despicable example of a human being. I wish all of you were around when “my” psychopathic liar was outed. I got little support for my efforts and a few bleeding heart idiots sympathized with psycho asking me to forgive her. That was maddening! What the heck people? Is everything short of murder forgivable now?
Hi Kat,
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate that. I think it’s good that you told the story about your encounter with the online psychopath…it’s good for people to understand that con artists don’t have to be male like SP.
I thought this description was right on:
…that’s so true and the thing to really consider is that with access to the internet, predatory people now are able to watch hundreds of ‘herds’ at a time whereas before they were limited only to the people in their local community.
This is why SP has so many online accounts with ‘dating’ sites and even gaming sites like Yahooligans. He is really only limited by how much time he is willing to sit at the computer to find his victims.
Anyway, thanks again for sharing your story and I’m glad that you got away from that crazy person who was bothering you!
