Family flees house after receiving creepy letter from "The Watcher"
Are suing house's previous owner
Many people experience regret after buying a new home, even fear that they made the wrong decision. But a Westfield, New Jersey family took that terror to a whole new level when they bought a new six bedroom house for $1.3 million, then started receiving ultra-creepy letters from someone who refers to himself only as "The Watcher."
The first letter showed up just a few days after the family moved into their new home. In it, The Watcher informed the family that their house has been under surveillance by his family for decades, and that he has been "put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming."
In subsequent letters, The Watcher went on to discuss his request for "young blood," asked which child's bedroom was at the front of the house so that he could "plan better," and more.
The cops were unable to establish the letter-writer's identity, so the family has since moved out - and sued the previous residents for not informing them of this little quirk of the house. Apparently the former owners had tried to sell the house, but buyers backed out when they heard about the weird letters that the house received. So the former owners decided to just keep quiet about the letters and hope for the best.
