The series is inspired by the infamous “Watcher” house in New Jersey. A couple bought the 1905 Dutch colonial revival in 2014 for nearly $1.4 million. They were forced to abandon their new home over chilling letters from “The Watcher” who claimed to have been “watching” the house for decades. “I am the Watcher. Bring me your young blood,” one of the notes read. The family put the house back on the market. It didn’t sell and they rented it out. In 2017, the renter received a sinister letter from “The Watcher” too, threatening their life. The house ultimately sold in 2019 for 959K. The identity of “The Watcher” has remained a mystery.
