@The Shape Yeah, srsly.
r/september5th is a cult
@Emperor DarK fans?!?
The real crime here is buying a $1.3M house and it requiring renovation.
My family bought a house for $950k, and the side of the oven was burning the cabinets, which could’ve caused a fire. House was a wreck when we bought it, but that was then.
People are just dumb when it comes to spending money
*cough* Toronto *cough*
You must not live in California 😔
Welcome to New Jersey
All I could think of when listening to his letters honestly:
"Who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell."
"XOXO Gossip Girl"
HAHAHAHHA
LMAO!!
Hahahahahahah 😂😂😂😂
LOL 😂💀
IT’S PROBABLY THE BOY WHO WAS BLACKMAILING HIMSELF OVER TEXT 🙌🏻
Idk why but the fact this individual keeps referring to the kids as "young blood" makes this even worse.
Idk why but this comment gave me fall out boy's "the phoenix" flashbacks.
It's like he's gonna sacrifice them
Would you have preferred “young money”?
I also find it very odd how the address is mentioned so many times in the letters, almost like it calls the house by it's birth name, i found that very weird.
And everyone was wondering who the watcher was when I'm more curious about what the house was hiding. But wouldn't they have found something during renovation?
You don’t know why?
When I was 18, back in the 90s, my family started getting weird and creepy letters in the mail. The letters were hand delivered and claimed that my Dad had "dark sins" to atone for and that I was a little whore and that's why I was pregnant at 18 (I wasn't pregnant). The police were called but couldn't really do anything, there wasn't much to go on until one of our neighbors came knocking. He had found a couple of letters in progress just like the ones we'd received in his wife's possession and had come to 'fess up so to speak.
They was an elderly couple that had always been lovely neighbors but his wife had developed dementia and the letters were a result of her delusions due to her condition. He was so ashamed and his wife went off to a care facility shortly afterwards and passed away a few years later. It was really sad.
Wow.
Perhaps Andrea Woods was developing dementia as well?
@@dippingshtick3 Seems like a case of buyers remorse to me. Like Amityville but it's a fake stalker instead of a fake ghost
Joe Biden is one step away from doing this
I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS LMAO
A memory just came back from something I thought had long since left me, and I want to share some advice:
If you have children and suspect someone is either watching you or them, it may help not to say names or genders while out in the yard of your property.
I say this, as I was being stalked by a senior when I was a freshman in high school and cops never did anything to stop him from coming to my home. I have five younger cousins that are all girls, and I would quite literally die for them. So, because I knew my stalker, I had the sickening feeling he wouldn’t stop with just me. Without scaring them, as they were all quite young, any time we’d go to leave the house, I’d simply refer to them as my little ducklings. Which worked oddly because none of them ever liked wearing dresses and frilly things and I’ve always had grouped nicknames for them. My stalker ended up thinking I had boy cousins, and left them alone.
That's horrifying!! I'm glad you and your cousins are safe
So sorry you had to go through that...I’m glad you’re safe now!
That's super smart of you. You really played your cards correctly!
This "watcher" guy sure is an edgelord
from what I recall, from analyzing the letters they believe the writer to be a woman :|

@@richardplacko1589 so they are safe then ok
@@hippo6billion811 what? i never said that
@@richardplacko1589 I did you dummy
“Youngblood” who’s writing this letter? Dwight Schrute?
The FBI agent who analyzed the letters said that the person tended to use archaic language, and this suggested that the culprit was very old in terms of age or that she (the DNA was female) was very literary in that she read many books very frequently.
@@pinecone1113 who knows, maybe that is what they wanted. maube that's their (i am sorry) ✨aesthetic✨. that is their vibe in scaring the family.
I think it was Uncle Drew
@@pinecone1113 The letter stated that the first watcher started in the 1920s the second watcher then started 40 years later in the 1960s then the current watcher started 54 years later so they're around 54
This is literally the plot to an X-Files episode.
Why didn't they put camera's facing the mailbox
ourshare psn That’s what I was thinking!
Or buy guns. A lotta guns
The last theory is why...they knew all along who it was.
TRUMP 2020
@@mgray999 You can keep things hush while still getting a surveillance camera
'Get rich quick scheme' they buy a 1.3 million dollar house, spend $100k on renovation and hire a team of people to help them. They sound rich already to me.
Bruh rich people are also the cheapest people ever, they would probably want to lower the cost of the house. Or even get a grant.
As someone whose one side of the family is wealthy (banking barons), rich people tend to be the smartest when it comes to making and managing wealth, otherwise they wouldn't be rich for long eh?
You've probably heard of many idiots who win the lottery to just blow it on stupid things, rich people who built their way to being that way usually know how to manage their money and where to put it (investing, bonds, stocks, overseas banking, property, ect).
@@SilvesterBathroomStallone and knowing to use the labor of others, exploit the system, and beg daddy president for tax breaks lmfao yea sure it makes them more money but it always comes down to if the person is ok with hurting other to get there- and it sounds like these people are. they ARE better with money, in that sense. rich people wont pass an opportunity to get richer.
@@saouer I wouldn't really know, I'm not them, so I'm not loaded lol.
Dunno why you assume people are heartless if they're good at accumulating wealth.
Sounds like a personal gripe bud.
And rent it out for $10k a month because of the lore
My big question is:
*What was in the walls?!*
There was a bust in Australia some year ago where every space in the house - walls, under floorboards, behind power points - was full of meth. Total value of the contents was estimated at AUD$900,000,000.
My theory is that someone was pissed that their safehouse got sold from under them and wanted it back and so tried to scare the fuck out of them.
This is based on nothing but I feel it's as good as guess as any.
Exactly my question, open the damn walls!!! There's probably money from a heist in there.
Apparently they used a device to search the walls and found nothing
@@RecklessInternetting The hole in that theory is that the house wasn't 'stolen', it was sold by the previous owners.
So, unless there was some guy sneaking in to hide meth in the walls, that theory is pretty far fetch'd.
It has no name
OoooOooOoo
-creepy fingers-
Yo, this is some nice material for a generic, medium budget horror movie!
Combine
This is Netflix we're talking about...it's going to be a tiny budget.
it sounds like sinister (tho imo that movie was good)
i’m pretty sure it’s already happened. or it loosely inspired a movie at least, i remember first hearing about the “case” through it. i’m pretty sure it was called The Watcher
6:6
is anyone else mad they never tried to search the walls?? i'm just sitting here like 👁👄👁
I know just....I feel like someone should have checked? That's too bizarre a detail yo just have been thrown out there.
The One Piece is within the walls!
Same! But chances are that it was added just to scary they away, or if there was something, they are too busy being creeped out to look for it.
They are making renovations and one of the letters did add: "have they found it ye?t" so who knows though.
@Zane Burns or they did look but found nothing?
@@NeoShot Luffy wants to know your location
These letters honestly sounds like a greasy Redditor trying to make a creepy post
This is literally the plot to an X-Files episode.
@@ZeranZeran what episode if you remember?
@@mf1672 i think its called "Arcadia" but theres another one with a "groundskeeper" and a guy whose watched a house for generations, but turns it into a giant trap to catch people for feeding his monster son! its creepy
yeah and you would react how gettin such a letter after living in a new a home?
"hah redditor" "our children are not in any danger"
I’ve always thought this is a hoax.
If this was happening and the “watcher” was delivering the letters in person why not get a security camera?
Your logic has no place here sir!
Right?!! This is dumb, they are sooo close that they can hear you, that means wide-angled cameras around the house would work. Even if the house is bugged, they could've hired people to search for them. They have money to restore a 1.5m dollar house but not enough to set up cameras and hire people to search the house???
Yeah my thought exactly. Unless it was delivered through USPS, it was probably physically put there by the culprit. If the letters always show up in the same place, just put a hidden camera within sight of said place, and next time the culprit leaves a letter, check the recording!
there’s a few cases where that happen
@@lucy_sl they don't have enough money because of the renovations...? Nobody should be so quick to assume the worst out of people. Maybe it's something they've been saving up to do when they bought the house, but obviously you cannot foresee being bugged or watched by a stalker, how the fuck to you know to prepare or save money for that?
This watcher's letters infuriate me more than scare me tbh. too edgy
I know right when he kept calling the kids "young blood" I was like okay bud tone it down a little you're trying too hard lmao
HONESTLY "let the party begin" "youngblood" "The Watcher" like, this isn't a roleplaying site or middle school theater
YoUnG bLoOd
Ah I cringed so hard with the let the party begin line.
It’s definitely a fuckin teenager
It seems like a security camera directed at the mailbox could have helped. And the rest of the area surrounding the property, really.
" Hand delivered " By the post? Or by the person thats actually doing it.
Im just sayin.. If they could afford THAT house, renovations and a team of private investigators.....?
Why was there no cameras.. This alone makes me skeptical.
And why couldn't/didn't the cops suggest it to them? Why couldn't they help? Unless...they were a part of it all along
The stalker would have probably seen them putting up the cameras and learnt their blindspots
That theory in my opinion is the most absurd one (well all of them are pretty dum). If you have the money to buy a new house, and 100,000 spare dollars to renovate it, why the hell would you go through such a elaborate scam to try and get money out of the previous owners in court which could last years to settle, for a little more money? Then theres the movie theory, why would they care about getting a movie if they have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend, and who in their right mind would make such an investment of buying and renovating a new house in order to have the slim chance of getting a movie out of it. Then theres the getting attention theory, people will say anything is done for attention, it’s absurd and reaaally grasping at straws. If any of those theories is plausible, than perhaps one of the neighbors could have committed it in order to avoid getting new neighbors into the area. Everything else is just overly absurd to even suggest, you can’t just make a single point disregarding everything that doesn’t make sense with what you just said and call it a valid theory...
@@MrMono009 I completely agree, I hate it when people use the cheap "they just want attention" theory
@@cultellus915 Well...if he can't communicate, he can't threaten them
Sounds like someone's pissed cause they lost the bid for the house.
I also thought about that
@@merncat75 wait do you have a source on that? I can't find anything and I'd like to read or watch more
merncat75 That video is about a completely different house, different people, and on the other side of the continent. Try again?
@@thirty0dd sh*t! I checked and confirmed the names before posting but I just checked the description and you're right, WTF? Hold on.. I have to check there was an article I found that determined the same outcome. Let me go back.. until then, my bad 🤔
@@thirty0dd thank you for pointing that out!
"Is attention really worth wasting police time, incriminating your new neighbors and possibly being charged as criminals?"
If the internet taught me anything; for some people-Yes...
True! And u like jet set radio? :)
@@ch3rry-b0mb Hell yeah, man. I love Jet Set Radio (Sega, make a new one, pls).
Well she really phrased it lightly there. The real question is, is attention really worth several hundred thousands of dollars out of your money to buy a new house, 100,000 dollars to renovate it, committing a felony by reporting a false crime to the police, hiring private investigators to sell the lie of the watcher, trying to sue the old owners to make the lie more believable, and then acting depressed and paranoid in front of everyone related to the situation to even push the lie further. And then finally not moving into the house you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the end to further sell the “lie”. In my opinion the whole “they did it for attention” mentality for many of these conspiracy theories is just lazy narrative.
@@IIIOldSchooLIII Nah man Sega too busi making trash Sonic games. Forget about that dream
@@LikeAGaruda Yeah, I've pretty much accepted that for some time now. As much as I want another one, they weren't exactly making a killing in terms of profit. From Sega's perspective; why should they put time and resource into a project that historically doesn't sale well?
It's unfortunate, but c'est la via. At the very least, I would be cool with Future getting some kind of remaster or something, similar to the original game some years back. I still have my original copy on Xbox. I'm just missing the Xbox...

Video starts with discussing how a couple can afford a house. Suspension of disbelief completely broken already. They even have three kids!
It actually started with an annoying ad
@@Brandon-dy8us hey, gotta get that bread somehow

@@Brandon-dy8us i hate channels that do this crap. Dynasty does stuff bout video games news and rumors and now he has started that bullcrap with mobile ap ads n whatever.
Machete 87 the only way to continue making videos and support yourself is by doing ad reads. how do you think creators make money?
duwudle shucks umm maybe by making more than 1 video every 2-3 months? Funny how this chick always knows everything about everything but needs to do garbage vpn sponsors or $5 shave club sponsors. And then she has simps who actually become monthly patrons. Shit is unreal
From what i read from the letters, the watcher seems to be more focused to stalking the family rather than the house itself, the letters talks about them more than the house. My guess is the multi generational stalking thing was made up as an excuse to stalk a poor, unsuspecting family.
So did they find what was in the walls?
There could be gold in there!
Wait I meant mold. There's mold in the walls.
Kargoth The Mad mold from the dead bodies
imagine if there was? that make sense why they wanted the house so much.
@@Machete87 I like to think there are dead bodies or something
Yea i believe this watchers family have been trying to tell the residence that they have a serious golding problem in the wall for decades.
Mmm, black mold. Great on toast.
Hmmm there's a really expensive house near me. I wonder how long it would take to scare away people till the listing price is something I can afford. Hmmmmmmmm
You can always murder someone in there. That usually makes prices drop real quick.
I mean that's what it is probably
@@-._.-KRiS-._.- but then you’d probably get caught it’s much harder to find stalkers though, especially one this elusive. Someone probably got outbid decided to scare the owners so they can pay less for the house. Dad gets mad thinking it’s the neighbors and sends out dumb letters and now everyone thinks it was him.
The letters try so hard to be edgy it’s comical 😂😂
It could also be written by someone who is genuinely insane. (I was a vagrant for four years, I know how crazy people talk) They make things up, they make false identities and they honestly think they're being cool or intimidating.
This is a sad story to me just because the whole neighborhood turned vicious so quickly and attacked the family. I think it was a salty elderly person mad they didn't have the better house.
Or an elderly Karen 😂
As a Westfield resident a block away from Boulevard I don’t really know what happened post letters,but we didn’t unanimously turn on them
Yea man old people be trippin like that
a dream home? in THIS economy? if only...

Morgan Williams I agreee
Dude if anything creepy happens I am going to be a person of interest because I wear all black most days, am shy and awkward, have a copy of the satanic bible and love unresolved mysteries.
Is it just me or did the whole "my family has watched this house for generations" sound wholesome until right up until she mentioned the kids? like I thought this was some old generational home thing.
Same, it started as a wholesome “Welcome to the neighborhood, this was my family home, take care of it” type thing- but then 😶
Why does nobody ever get security cameras? After the first letter I'd have half a dozen cameras pointed out of the windows, especially towards the mailbox.
Add in a hidden tripwire connected to an alarm at the mailbox then you’re officially set
Good thing Ring cameras exist now and are easy to come by
Exactly. Hidden cameras at that so he didn't know he was the one being watched. Unless there never was a watcher to begin with.
I would say they are expensive, but this family would've had no problem getting them instantly. They spent 1.3 million dollars on the house, and were already renovating it any way.
@@PissyLissy A standard wifi porch cam can be had for $50. You can get them even cheaper if you want some cheapie Chinese knockoff from AliExpress. This is no excuse even for a non-wealthy family.
Me, if I received one of those letters:
"Pack your things, we're leaving."
Where do you live?
I could use a cheap home.

Really? That’s kinda cool
Do you u know? Hmmm...
Keep the ones watching for public masturbators. Distracted? Come and see
So are you the watcher then?
She is from the town that this happened in, so the wife knows who “the watcher” is, she just doesn’t realize it because they are so good at putting up a facade.
It could be a (secretly) jealous friend or friends mom even, an exes mom, a jealous family friend, or even a family member. The wife knows, she just doesn’t know she knows.
I honesty highly doubt that anything would have happened to that family based on the type of threat. Whoever did it does not want to get caught. They enjoy the psychological manipulation and control.
I wouldn't be scared about the guy watching me, but that he might tell my mom ive been up at 5 am on my computer.

"here's the story according to Derek and Maria themselves"
Ad starts playing, "oh nice story"
I've a theory about "the watcher"
I think that the previous generations of "the watcher" used to live there..then due to some issues (maybe financial....idk) caused them to move out of the house and the owner ( "the watcher's grandpa" ) was obsessed with it and this passed on to his family
( idk maybe this is why "the watcher" knew the layout of the house ...)
You can get floor plans for just about anything. Pretty sure the county clerk will give them to you for like 20$
Ohhh thanks for that info😁✌️ but how would they get the floor plans if the house has already been purchased?
@@idgafb._4681 pretty sure when a property is built the builder has to register the floor plan with whatever local municipality.
Real estate websites generally post pictures and videos of walkthroughs while they are on the market too

I was actually just watching the buzzfeed unsolved episode on this and I got so happy when I saw my favorite creator was covering it
Im so petty that I'd destroy the house
"What ya gonna watch now ?!"
You’d also find out what’s in the walls.
When he said the Wood's family sold the house, I lowkey started to assume he wasn't a threat and was just trying to get cash of of scaring people. So essentially, I thought he was a Scooby Doo antagonist.

Shaurya Joshi You’re spoiling the joke my good friend
I've always been torn on this whole situation. Theres not 1 conclusion that jumps out to me as the 'best/most likely one'.
But the phrase "Young blood" always puts a chill down my spine. I mean it's just so weirdly worded. It sounds like an old term to refer to kids, or someone just made it up on the spot.
I think it was one of the cops tbh, they didn't even suggest a surveillance camera lmao
Shit my kids are gonna be Young Cripps
Nikorasu Manshisouru If someone is buying a million dollar home I’m sure the police assumed the owners would’ve already thought about that or had cameras already.
@@staticalphabetsoup637 Yes, because assumptions are professional, should just assume everyone in Texas has a firearm too
Nikorasu Manshisouru Was I making an assumption? That’s odd considering how I didn’t assume anything, just pointed out facts. If you can afford a million dollar home then it’s blatantly obvious that you should have security systems, police know that, everyone knows that.
I'll never forget the Ghoul boys episode about this. It was really cool to get some more information and a fresh perspective!
The whole "i see you through your windows all day" makes me think its a neighbor either next door or across the street cause you'd notice someone standing out on the street watching you but if he lives across the street then you might not you'd think its just a curious neighbor, plus this guy CLEARLY wanted the house and he is pulling the ole scooby doo "scare people away from something I want" bit
I remember this!! It was in the paper I think because of the court case. Very creepy. Maybe they thought people would want to rent it because of the attention? Doubt it though
Hey at least it wasn't, The Looker.

Or the Listener (ooooh)

why tf they didnt dna test the wife tho ?!?
Has anyone considered the real estate agent? Lots of incentive to keep turning over the house to new people. Commission on a million dollar home sounds good..
Not if the house gets that reputation, the price will go down and will become unsellable.
More likely to be a someone who wants the house cheaply or wants to scare that family (if not an inside job).
If I was in this boat and I had some “Watcher” telling me they had an obsession with the house I reside I’d see if I could get planning permission to knock the house down and rebuild it from the ground up that will surely annoy them enough to attempt to make themselves known then it’s just a matter of getting video evidence of them approaching the house to put their next letter in the mail box or enter the house ? Plus if there was something in the walls I’d probably find out what it was if it doesn’t get destroyed during the demolition. That said it’s a pretty risky move so anyone else living in the house would have to go stay somewhere else. But realistically I think the family was behind it. money was the motive.
Seems a whole lot like a scam the letters stopped after their involvement with the house.
Well, unless the person that wrote it didn't like their family specifically
i haven't seen anyone actually mention this, but after the family got involved with the house the case became infamous and well known (as said in the video). this would make it MUCH riskier for the watcher to continue committing crimes, since there would be so many eyes on the house and so many people eager to pick apart any interactions with it. if they are real and it's not a scam or hoax, it makes sense that they would keep a low profile following the fame of the case.
@@miles4939 Well...seeing as the first message of the Watcher was sent while the previous family was moving and stopped when the new family decided to no longer move...it's definitely suspicious
@@cinnastag agree, I just wanted to mention that point since I felt it was important to consider
@@miles4939 100% correct
'weary" means tired, 'wary' means suspicious
Sounds like a Scooby Doo scheme minus having a costumed nutcase scaring them away
To be fair, this could make a pretty cool movie
They should've hooked cameras up to try to get the stalker on film
This story has always fascinated me..another creepy one I remember hearing about but I can't find the info (forgot the family name) I think happened in like the 60's, 70's?
There was another family was left all these weird, cryptic notes, letters..someone broke and stole a camera (I think) but later brought it back and left in front of the door, I think they moved things around in the house to show they were inside. The wife was assaulted and hit in the head causing her to be in the hospital. The couple were older (late 50's, early 60's I think), if memory serves and the harassment went on for YEARS. I know it was mentioned that the husband and adult son would often stake out the house at night, hoping to catch the person doing it but I don't think anything came from it. I know for a while it was thought that the family was somehow doing it themselves but that was never proven either and there were too many other witnesses that backed the idea that it was not the elderly couple or their family doing this to themselves.
Man, I wish I could remember more, I'll keep searching and if I find the family name and links I'll edit (or if anyone else recalls it, please reply since it's gonna drive me buggy, lol)
The wackers!
This is spoopy. Imagine getting driven out of your house because of some stalker smh
Spoopy haha =)
Better to be safe then sorry.
When I see the word watcher i think of Shane and Ryan.
didn't they base the name off the unsolved they did on this
@@muddy3074 yeah I'm pretty sure
I always think of cox 'n crendor
The only good buzzfeed series
@@ratman7212 exactly but I did enjoy lady like when safiya was still there, but that was it.
Why didn’t they just put a camera in the mailbox?
Yes! Pretty simple. Even then they can scan car passing near by through camera.
Because mailman brings letters
@@herovidijo5172 The letters were hand delivered so if anyone other than the mailman is recorded putting letters in the mailbox, it would be them. Besides, it's a $1.3M home. They really should have some basic security system.
@@herovidijo5172 It was mentioned that the letters weren't in envelopes. If someone delivers it, it's them. If the mailman devilers it, then it's them.
Because the husband didn’t want the cameras to catch him sending letters to himself.
“Been looking for you, got something I’m supposed to deliver, your hands only. Let’s see here, a letter, not sure who from, just says he’s a friend of your house, looks like that’s it, got to go”

Nord VPN: Allow me to introduce myself.
Man if I was the family man I would put cameras above doors and windows and a motion camera at the sides,back and front, change all the locks and hide guns all around and install blinds, toss all the mail the watcher mails us in the fire
I would've torn down the house just to piss off The Watcher.
Yes, I don't understand why they didn't put cameras around the house so they could see any suspicious behavior. It really doesn't make much sense why they didn't.
I don’t understand why the street is simply just “Boulevard”... unless it’s a boulevard called Boulevard because a boulevard is already a type of street described as “a wide street in a town or city, typically lined with trees” , which is what Boulevard is... but if you search Google Earth for it , it still just says “Boulevard” not something like Plymouth Boulevard or Green Boulevard, no.. and it’s frustrating 🤣
boulevard of broken dreams
@stockart whiteman hahahah
Maybe ‘The Watcher’ was one of the renovators?
I remember reading about this, haven't looked into it in years. Thank you!
I MISSSSSSED YOUUUUU. make my day why don’t you! 🖤🖤🖤
I grew up in Westfield. There were a lot of weird, older people. There were families that had lived in that town for generations.
You told this story best (in my opinion) and out of all of the videos out there on this topic- this one is my favorite!
What if the stalker live somewhere in the house? "Have you found all it's secrets yet?" "Do you know what secrets the walls hold?". What if there are hidden rooms and stuff?
aaaa it's been a while Reign! Love to see you post again, stay safe though! 💖
i thought she was on about Westfield in Stratford.
until she finished the sponsor.
i was relieved
If Maria grew up a few blocks away from there, I wonder if it might be someone she knew from childhood/early life. Perhaps they are stalking the family, and not necessarily the house.
Oh my gosh you’re almost at a million subscribers now!!!! I’m so glad to have been a fan for so long and am excited to see you get the recognition you deserve!
The way that the author of the letters mixed up his 'you' and 'me' sounds like something someone's who was writing from the standpoint of the victim. It was the Broadus's trying to get a house for free or a movie or book deal. That last bit about the dude admitting he put letters in his neighbors boxes is just icing on the cake.
Me: *Thought Reignbot had stopped uploading for good*
**Reignbot suddenly uploads**
Me: *👁👄👁*
The Watcher seems like an amazing movie plot.
This sounds like the plot of a Scooby-Doo episode.
“When I leave you wanna keep doin this (mimicked talking with hands)... but then when I come around you don’t wanna post up”
That painter is so nice, to hold a stranger in his arms just out of kindness
Me: Don’t you dare do it
My brain: Yea we are gonna make her watch this in the dark before she goes to sleep 😌
Me: 👁👄👁
@@fis4939 👁👄👁
Early bird gets the reignbot
sounds familiar.....
"Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries..."
Didn’t think my boring town of Westfield would be on a TH-cam channel like this
perhaps a deranged mailman? they'd have access, an alibi, resources (addresses and such)...
But then why would the name be misspelled
1:11 ain’t it surreal when you sit down to watch a TH-cam video just to find a picture of your exact location. That’s the worlds most photographed lighthouse. It’s in Maine and I am there right now. Insane.
im gonna do this when someone outbids me on ebay
These messages bounce back and forth between warning or cautionary and downright threatening. I feel like the author of these notes was trying to come off as one but kept veering to the other before abruptly correcting themselves. The issue worth solving immediately is as follows: is the author providing a message of caution or of threat?
The husband admitted to writing the letters but never told his wife. So the poor wife has to deal with the effects of PTSD from this whole ordeal because of him
The husband is a sadist.
they spent over $100K on P.I's and lawyers and got nothing. Why didn't they spend $200 and get a couple of CCTV cameras. Especially 1 pointed at the letterbox???? Something stinks here!!!!! They should get the woman's DNA that brought the house?
