sorry, I don’t buy it. the police could easily trace these posts to their origin. the sender has to have an ISP, sounds more like the police are just putzing around, more public relations for them.

Before email, people used to write letters on substance called paper. They would seal the paper letter in more paper, which was called an envelope. You’d then put these things called stamps on the envelope so that someone called a mailman would deliver the envelope to a mailbox that corresponded to the address you would write on the envelope. Weird, huh? I guess I’m sort of dating myself.

Haha! I thought the exact same thing in response to @cpinva. I didn’t know paper had ISPs!

Dating yourself? At least you didn’t mention that the mail used to be brought by pony.

On point, that is super super creepy. The cops need to find this guy, he clearly is severely deranged. The ‘young blood’ comment worries me for other children in the neighborhood as well. I want to hear from the former owners, if this guy really is a long term nutjob, or if he just picked up with these owners.

He was stalking beach goers a few years back. Ordered them off the beach.

Maybe he is also becoming fixated on GW Bridge traffic and random single family homes, perhaps?

Put a big sign in the front yard with the question:

Who watches the Watcher?

And the answer:

You won’t know, until it is too late.

I’m just glad for the correction, I mean, a crazy stalker is one thing, but a crazy stalker with bad tense usage, that’s creepy!

You realize these are letters, not email? You know, old school analogue pieces of paper put into an envelope with a stamp on it?

This creeps me out too. Time and again I see stalkers, rapists and kidnappers use woeful spelling, grammar and bad tenses (many times because they are simply too lazy to search enough newspapers to cut and paste the correct words). They seem oblivious to the fact that the words they choose, how they write reflects directly on how potential employers view them. If they could be hung by the neck by their hanging participles I would certainly support this mode of capital punishment.

Sorry, Ghost, didn’t see your reply.

It looks like the Amityville “horror” house, which in itself means squat as it wasn’t actually haunted.

Hope they catch the guy.

On the other hand, the writer claims to have been stalking the house for 20 years. Install cameras, motion detector lights, research previous owners who lost the title and live your life paying attention to weird neighbors.

But who doesn’t like a good ghost story? I’d love to own that house.

Liver…

Or as I like to say, ¨typing with one hand¨.

This sounds like someone who is hoping to get the house for a bargain price.

You win the intertubes for today CF!

ok, ok grandpa.

Got any stories about them newfangled horseless carriages?

Or, as my kids like to ask: what was it like to ride a dinosaur?

The story does say “letters” so I assume there must be some physical evidence? Unless this guy (and of course it will turn out to be a white guy) is Ted Kasinski(sp?) I’m sure there would be something to trace. It should be made somewhat easier to trace because the sender is almost certainly in the same town.
Maybe this is bigger than the “exhaustive investigation” by the local PD can muster.
