Anyone else heard of this story?

 

Couple purchase home in Westfield and begin receiving creepy letters. Letters says the house has been "watched" by his family for generations, that it's turn to watch the house and that he'll be calling the children to him.

 

Sounds like a disgusting prank or someones trying to get out of purchase or scare the new owners into selling for cheap. New owners moved out, are suing previous owners who allegedly had received similar letters and have listed home for sale but haven't been able sell because story about "The Watcher" is now national news.

Another article with a timeline of the house. Interesting the numerous sales for $1 but could.just be being passed down from generation to generation:

Heard it talked about on 101.5 a few times. Last time they reported the letter had female DNA on it.

I guess we can rule out Bill Clinton.

Not necessarily, depending on whom he was with at the time...

This story made me pull out and watch my DVD of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window"

I know all about the story.

 

If it was my house, I'd clean my guns on a folding table on my front lawn while wearing several loaded sidearms.  Such table would have a HUGE sign leaning up against it that simply states, "WATCH THIS!"

 

When the Cops show up I'd clean their guns too.....and make coffee!

The cops would show up for sure. The sight of those guns would put the soccer moms of Westfield into a frenzy.

 

 

Last I heard the police were refusing to comment on this. Anything new?

owners should call Stephen King and sell the movie rights! 

King wouldnt show if you were cleaning guns. Hes very anti gun..... too bad My wifes a big King reader not anymore though......

The Watcher doesn't like clean guns?

There ya go, making me belly laugh again, lol!

 

FWIW I'd thought you'd say you'd bring the donuts, lol!

I was hoping to dress up like a cop and bring some guns for cleaning!

Step 1, buy house.

Step 2, create mystery.

Step 3, sell movie rights.

Step 4, pay off mortgage.

The fact that it's Charles Addams' home town doesn't hurt. The List murders don't hurt. Etc.

owners should call Stephen King and sell the movie rights! 

 

 I was thinking the same thing!
