«Dear homeowner, it’s time you knew that your home is being monitored every day. I welcome you to your worst nightmare.” This is the beginning of a letter sealed with sealing wax, deposited in a chest of drawers next to the front door of apartment 217 of a building in Borgo Treviso. A text of a few lines full of details, signed “The Watcher”. A story that sounds far from new for fans of TV series. What happened is the exact implementation of the script of the TV series “The Watcher”, which was already inspired by the real story that is in the was reported in glossy magazine The Cut, signed by Reeves Wiedeman. The news originated in June 2014 in New Jersey at the new house that Derek Broaddus and his wife Maria bought at 657 Boulevard. In the mailbox, the couple found strange handwritten letters, in where a person told them he was watching them, giving details of what they were doing, what they were saying and who they were, forgetting the house for its beauty oed and stressed that they weren’t the right owners.
THE CASE
The True Story was then made into a TV series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan and released on Netflix on October 13 last year. The names of the protagonists change and the plot has been enriched with details, but the basic thrill associated with these mysterious letters is faithfully reproduced. And it seems the same is happening in Borgo Treviso, where a lady found this letter outside her house on Friday, which she described as “disturbing”. «In front of the door there is a chest of drawers that I rarely use, I even thought about throwing it away – explains the woman – I opened it because I had to take something with me and in the top drawer I found this letter. I opened it and was scared. I immediately called my son, who doesn’t live with me, and he meanwhile told me that it was written really badly and that it was inspired by a TV series. He told me to shut up, it was probably a joke. But I’m worried. I went to the police and lodged a complaint.”
THE LETTER
The woman’s concern became even more intense when she read the last few lines of the letter: “You will soon discover what lies within the walls of your house – we read – I like the fact that you never or almost close the brings . You will find a surprise.’ ‘It is true – he admits – that I very seldom lock the front door. Now I always will.” Somehow, these few lines have already influenced the life of the lady who works in a bar in Castelfranco. “This letter has already influenced me – she tells us – isn’t someone listening to us while we talk? I find out quickly if there is anything, my house is small and I live alone, I know where I put my stuff, whoever wrote knows things about me, it’s obvious, I rule out that they my neighbors can be. There are three of us on the landing, all decent people, and I hardly know anyone from the apartment building. I don’t know why anyone would do this to me, even if it was a joke. I’m worried, hope we the best ».
