In the four years since the article was published, I’ve gotten a stream of questions - and tips - about the mystery. The article detailed Derek and Maria Broaddus’s agonizing decisions over what to do about the stalker and the house and their desperate attempts to figure out The Watcher’s identity to no avail. The Watcher suggested they would be keeping tabs on the family and possibly worse: “Once I know their names I will call to them and draw them me.” The Watcher included details about the Broaddus family and what they were doing at the house: In one letter, The Watcher said they could see the family’s youngest child drawing on an easel in a room on the side of the house. The anonymous notes were signed by someone calling themselves “The Watcher.” They thanked the Broaddus family for bringing “the young blood” - their three small children - to 657 Boulevard, a home the writer claimed to have been watching for years. In November 2018, I published a story in this magazine called “ The Haunting of a Dream House” about a mysterious stalker who sent creepy and threatening letters to the new owners of a home in Westfield, New Jersey.
