'Dream Home' Turned Nightmare As Union County Home Buyers Recieved Distressing Letters From 'The Watcher'
Three days after a couple closed on their $1.3 million "dream home" in Westfield, disturbing letters began to show up from "The Watcher".
Just three days after a couple closed on their $1.3 million “dream home” in Westfield, disturbing letters began to show up from “The Watcher”.
It started in June of 2014 - the alleged stalker wrote disturbing messages such as “My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s. It is now my time” and “Do you need to fill the house with the young blood I requested? Once I know their names I will call to them and draw them to me. I asked the (prior owners) to bring me young blood”, according to nj.com.
The couple is now suing the original owners claiming they knew of “The Watcher’s” threatening letters, but did not disclose any information while selling the home.
