Hi all! Today I'm bringing you an episode from the Strange Dispatch archives. This episode was originally released on our Patreon about a year ago. But don't let that dissuade you! It's one of my favorite episodes from our back catalog, and it's a truly bizarre story. If you're one of our Patrons, you've probably heard this episode already, but maybe a year later is a good time for another listen!
In 2014 a family in Westfield, NJ, was preparing to move into their recently purchased dream home when they started receiving bizarre and sometimes threatening letters from an anonymous author. It seemed as if someone in the neighborhood had a vendetta against the family and was attempting to stop them from occupying the old colonial house. The person, who referred to themselves as the Watcher, made it clear that there was more to the house than meets the eye and that the family was not welcome there. What at first seemed like an alarming prank escalated into a life-altering situation that tore the family apart and ostracized them from their community.
In this episode of the Strange Dispatch, Ian and I discuss the peculiar, unsolved mystery of the Watcher.
