I listen to all these podcasts every night to fall asleep but this one is creeeeeepy!!! P.S love Casefile. Best narrator ever. Maybe because I’m Australian and it feels like someone from home telling the stories :)
Get into a zone with your podcast... I respect your consistency in quality and thorough coverage of the tragedies. You present the information to us in a way that keeps the victims humanized, as opposed to becoming a topic of conversation that is easily removed from any empathy or regards for the person or persons affected by said tragedies.🤝 We always know what to expect from you as far as quality goes, and I commend you for that, much appreciated also.
The person telling the story has a great unique voice and I have listened to 90% of Case file stories because I like the way they are presented. I prefer Case File for this reason. I agree with your comments as well.
You're in lockdown? Because what we hear about Australia is that covid is practically non-existent over there 🤔 in any case, sorry to hear it. And if you're ill please feel better soon! I fell asleep last night watching an old episode of Sensing Murder, hosted by Rebecca Gibney. It's still quite strange for a northern hemisphere citizen to hear August referred to as 'nearing the end of winter', and hearing Christmas spoken of as being a "hot summer day'. It must be the same for you guys when you most likely have stumbled upon children's books about Christmas and there is snow and bundled up people "dreaming of a white Christmas", lol! Really wish I could live down under half the year and truly enjoy Endless Summer (speaking of, both wonderful surfing movies by the same people, 30 years apart!) Again, feel better if you are ill and try to keep busy if you are not. I can't wait for all the books to come out with titles like,, 1001 Ways to Enjoy a Productive and Fulfilling Lockdown"lol
@@danrobinson572 hey Dan! 🙋🏼♀️ Just finished listening to the case. With a few interruptions, currently 7:59 a.m. here in beautiful but soggy coastal Connecticut🌧️. Have a great rest of your day, neighbor!😀(relatively speaking haha!) And have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!,🇺🇸
@@danrobinson572 Aww, yes, as my son made me acutely aware, poor Pittsburgh, damn those pesky islanders! so sorry, but there's always next year! However, thanks for the support for Boston~we New Englanders generally have each others' backs. Indeed, Bruins for the win! (Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about, haha, probably not, but there's nothing for it, I guess being that I'm a ⚾ girl from birth! Go Mets!!!
1. Of course the Woods weren't particularly distressed by the letter they received on the way ...OUT. And not a very sensitive initial response. At least they participated in the meeting at the police station 2. Someone in the neighborhood threw a barbecue just to welcome new neighbors?? I can barely throw a big pot of spaghetti together for the five people that are here at suppertime who never eat the same thing at the same time (spaghetti being the only common dish.) Sincere kudos and much respect for whoever managed that one 👍
Wasn't expecting a bonus episode - and even though it's not murder, there's definitely a heinous crime committed. Moving home is complex enough without a troll threatening you and your kids. Such a toxic beast.... Reminds me of the Circleville Letter Writer, good luck solving that one...
The police were so wrong to keep quiet about it initially. What the family should have done was go public with the letter immediately, made copies for everyone in the street, give out copies at the welcome event.
So why didn't they? I still think it was the woods family writing the letters. I know it sounds implausible but I don't know what their motive would have been. Very strange case.
All I kept thinking was why on earth a camera or doorbell cam or similar had not been set up to cover the letterbox?? Those letters didn't float in there all by themselves! I'm not suggesting it was the new family who was responsible but it seems fishy to me. A prank that some proper surveillance may have put to bed long before they resolved to sell up at such a loss.
Wow what a fascinating story. But I am left perplexed what was the real motive I can't think of anything. Still scratching my head around weird story. Since no one got hurt I guess the police didn't pursue the matter any further. Very mysterious.
My opinion is the real motive is attention. He or she lived a Hollow and shallow life, no one was interested in them. These letters gave them a reason to live, they couldn’t find meaning in life so they found meaning in these letters.
@@mispelling totally 💯 agree! It’s some right sad miserable old goat (and goat as I’m actual goat not the new meaning of the word) and they probably don’t have friends because they are not good to get along with etc
Same! As per the never ending first thing in the a.m. treat, gift from the gods, which is coffee, that is. I don't exactly have a 'nasty' neighbor actually they are all either lovely or neutral, however there is one, who's a bit of a d- -khead, about his precious 'garden' (literally, don't walk past too slowly, you might breathe on it, right?)🙄 Have a great day and if American, have a lovely Memorial Day holiday weekend!🇺🇸
@@Frenchblue8 have a lovely weekend yourself! Canadian so we just had our Victoria Day long weekend....known as May 24 and usually celebrated by partying with friends with a 24 ( Canadian slang for a case of beer). As I am pushing 61 celebrated with 24 cups of coffee instead LOL
@@nancychisholm5399 lol! So, wishing you a Happy belated Victoria Day! 🇨🇦. And I believe in the UK they have the equivalent to our spring and fall sort of observances (Memorial Day (traditionally, May 31st, and, Labor Day, early September, generally the first Monday of the month)called May and August Bank Holidays, respectively, which pretty much correspond to America's Memorial Day weekend, the observance of present and former military servicepersons, all branches, who have passed, in active service or not. But however they are called, wherever they occur, I personally think it's quite nice to have holiday weekends that mark the beginning (😀!!!) and the end (😪) of summer. Peace☮️, Nancy,...... And never-ending coffee!!☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
@@Frenchblue8 yup it’s bank holiday may 31st and that’s my birthday (41 now) and I never had a birthday on a school day as a kid because it’s always bank holiday , I hated that lol
@@Jolenesmart1980 why did you say you heard about Casefiles latest episode 65years ago and "how time goes so fast?" Now you're 41. That makes no sense. Why lie jojojase?
True. Although it's not hard to poison a dog if you're crazy enough to do something like that, which the watcher certainly seemed like he was. But at the same time every time I've heard of this case i had my doubts that the watcher ever really posed a serious threat. The letters to me sounded more like a pathetic attempt to scare the new neighbors and get some kicks from doing so. Seems like only a real loser would do something like that but i can understand when put in that situation yourself it probably wouldn't be as easy to brush it off...
Since the watcher hasn't messed with the new residents I have to assume that the couple must have done something to upset him/her. I mean something that truly caused a lot of grief for the watcher. Hard to imagine someone would take that much time out of their life unless they were dead set on getting even for something. Just a theory.
if what you are saying is true then I agree it seems plausible, "The Watcher" has this emotional connection to it, it justifies his(and yes I believe it is a him just a gut feeling). Just imagine sitting outside, planning the days to watch, writting the letters
If I could afford it I would move out with my family straight away, get the police on to the if I was a rich get someone to pull all the panels of the walls and see if anything is hidden and then after that burn the house down. I do not believe in ghosts also I am agnostic these are just things I would go through to find out home it is sending me these letters that could also be murderer. I have other ideas although if it was risking another people my wife girlfriend or children that is the route I would take
24:10 ish so he put up webcams in the house , how come he didn’t put one to face letterbox?! I agree with some of the comments it could’ve been them sending them to their selves
I never heard that a neighbour said about it would be nice to have some young blood in the area??? Never heard that on the other episodes on this iv watched - that would be such an obvious thing to be caught on
it is the shame that they could just not move the house to another lot. I know that's not a trivial pursuit but it is possible and not unusual I wonder how the neighbor would have felt about selling them 2-4 feet of his property, so then the owners could split the lot, probably not all that great. Then again both houses (on each side) could have bought half the property, donated two or three feet each and then split the property, and they both would have made money, or they could have split the property had the house moved and 657 would disappear.
Those girl Scouts can get real pissy if people up and move and have a unpaid bill for their mint and lemon cookies;it is rumored that the good people of Dresden ,in Germany,ordered a pallet of assisted cookies to be shipped to them. Then the war broke out,the girl Scout that brokered the deal got stiffed and then bullied by her peers ,never to fund raise again.We all know what happened to Dresden.

This is the creepiest story I've ever heard. They really can't catch this sadist?

Sounds like a male who got his mother to lick the envelopes, maybe got the info through the neighbourhood grapevine. I think it could've escalated.
Best start to Saturday. Thank you for and great case. 🙂🐈⬛
All hail the watcher
Hahahaha Ghoul Bois!
Hahaha !! That episode was great it’s the imo only thing buzzfeed did that was good
The police were so wrong to keep quiet about it initially. What the family should have done was go public with the letter immediately, made copies for everyone in the street, give out copies at the welcome event.
What if it was the woods family who were writing the letters?
@@evdaribarovski5698 good point but they got dna I’m sure they compared it to the broadasis family members - surely?!
So why didn't they? I still think it was the woods family writing the letters. I know it sounds implausible but I don't know what their motive would have been. Very strange case.
Well the positive side is no one was hurt or murdered.
@@evdaribarovski5698 yet
Another Casefile...I’m in
Very interesting but creepy nonetheless! You always do a great job with these and I appreciate your efforts! Thank you.
Creepy...But good!
It's like the suburban American version of Hot Fuzz but this time the movie ended early ;)

Are there transcripts of your episodes for those who are deaf or hearing impaired?
👏👏👏
Those girl Scouts can get real pissy if you take off and move and owe em money for the mint cookies and those tasty lemon bars.
Awesome!! Thx fo the comic relief.
I've heard this before, and I would have straight away gotten a home security system with cameras and a large scary dog
Defo 💯!! It’s probably a neighbour or someone close
They did get home security installed 😮

Put a bloody camera in a tree near the letter box . Or write letters back to the stupid "watcher" being bullied out of your own house sucks
Exactly why no cameras etc
24:10 ish he said he put webcams round his house - so weird why none of the letterbox. Must’ve sent them to himself
