In theNew Yorkstory, Derek and Maria Broaddus were besieged by menacing welcome letters from an unknown source.
My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s, went one letter.
It is now my time.
Do you know the history of the house?
Do you know what lies within the walls of 657 Boulevard?
Why are you here?
I will find out.
The letters continued through the articles publication, even as the Broadduses tried to sell and rent the house.
PerNew Yorks reporting, the Broadduses received several offers for film deals but previously turned them down.
In 2016, Lifetime released a movie calledThe Watcher, despite a cease-and-desist letter from the Broadduses.
