In fall of 2022, many were intrigued and creeped out by the Netflix series, "The Watcher," based on true events that occurred in Westfield, New Jersey. It proved to be a good show that kept us on the edge of our seats, but for the family it actually happened to, it was not so entertaining.
Do you know the real story?
Derek and Maria Broaddus got way more than they had signed up for after purchasing their brand new dream home at 657 Boulevard. They began to receive creepy letters in the mail that were unsettling to say the least. The letters expressed animosity for the couple at times, and mentioned all three of their kids' by name.
Now the purchasing of the home that was once considered their dream was quickly turning into a nightmare, with their every move scrutinized, they were constantly looking over their shoulder, asking themselves of every person they encountered--is this "The Watcher"?
Join Elaine, Joann, and I for part 1 of 2 on "The Watcher", as we talk through the real events of this odd case, and how it compares with the TV series.
