We tell the eerie story of "The Watcher" case, an unsettling true crime mystery. In 2014, the Broaddus family purchased what they thought was their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey, only to find themselves targeted by an unknown letter-writer calling themselves The Watcher. The letters quickly turned from bizarre to terrifying, as the anonymous writer revealed details about the family and made veiled threats.
