BuzzFeed Unsolved Network THE BOIS ARE BACK
Eeeeekkkkk. When does it get uploaded
That being said
Im getting nervous.....what are you guys going to do when you run out of cases to talk about???
Alexa Portas in two hours 💓
Ryan: *is creeped out that the stalker might still be active*
Also Ryan: *gives their location*
thepiningtree I was thinking that too 😂😂
i google this place it real and on zillow funny right
can't like or you won't have 666 likes anymore lol
It feels wrong to like this comment it’s at 911 rn✊
I could travel....
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
He *wheeze* in yellow letters when the screen goes blacc
😂‼️
This comment would be even better if the wheeze what's actually in yellow
19:10
Not even funny
@@innuendoamdmore9504 yeah it is, so sorry you cant enjoy. Good joke. ;/
and the fact he stopped sending letters after the family installed security cameras around the house just screams how puny and scared he is
Seriously, this guy calls his neighbors his “Soldiers of the boulevard” and then ends his letter with “All hail the watcher!” If I got that letter all fear would leave me and I’d phone the cops and tell ‘em don’t bother
@@rebeccamorris3290lmfao it’s definitely just some guy 😂 i love this case
@@ladydelulu He just playing around 💀
Fcking cope lol, it shows how SMART he is
@@mega1chiken6dancr9We really need to stop praising creeps. That’s why they keep doing it. They get infamy, they get attention, they get people like you giving positive reinforcement. Maybe it was smart, but it’s a creep at the end of the day. And clearly people like that aren’t so smart, considering the fucked up and depraved actions they take. Let’s not sugarcoat it and baby them. Creepers are weird, that’s it.
five years later… rip the watcher channel
Knew someone would come here lol
So sad what they've done. Become the very thing they sought to destroy.
I am sad right now 😢😢
Sad times
What happened!
just burn it down and collect insurance money then write a letter to the watcher and say "your move"
Next thing you know he sent mail to your new address.
David Ortiz move to Canada and remove all evidence of your past identity
Disappear and three years later send someone to send a letter saying “lol still alive will send updates XOXO missing u
Ever heard of arson?
@@frantic9724 that's one hell of a power move
Cloud Dawn But didn’t his thing was with the house, not the family?
Ngl it would be funny if he sent them a letter saying: “they always ask who is the watcher, never how is the watcher”
LMFAO
Lmao I really wheezed
😂😂😂 The Watcher would actually send a letter like that though!!
;-;
LMFAOOO
Just visiting the video that probably inspired their channel name. Many will flock to the old Buzzfeed Unsolved videos now that the Watcher Team decided to insult majority of their fanbase.
i sure am! makes me realize what watcher was missing was the simplicity of this show.
My favorite part was when The Watcher said “it’s watching time” and then started watching everyone. Truly one of the moments of history
W
“You just took a poopie and don’t have any more toilet paper” hits different in 2020
This was not a joke, it was a warning.
BAHAHAHAHA corona virus checkkkkkkk ( I’m starting online school tmr wish me luckkkk)
MY GUY. I WAS THINKING THE SAME
Clau Rodriguez Did anyone ask for your white girl comment.
Ethan Green I’m not white but go off
why do some people never lock their doors?? it doesn’t matter if becky from across the road came over with cookies and everything is the color of roses, the door will be locked.
Depends on the neighborhood. I've lived in areas where you both can and can't do it.
@@Ray-py7ui an alarm system and a guard dog won't stop a gun
same. like, i don’t care where i live or who i live near, all doors are locked. i’m not flirting with death no thank you.
We only lock the doors at night. _. Idk pal¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ashley miranda my family used to not lock our doors because our street was safe, it never had any break ins, assaults etc. So we thought it’d be okay to keep it unlocked, but then one day someone got in and attacked us, so we now lock our doors all the time no matter what.
I am genuinely flabbergasted at the fact that the family actually did sell the rights of their story and now there's a Netflix show about it
Rightt
Why flabbergasted?
The family are the watcher.
@@johnharveyanor3784 I was thinking that honestly a couple way in over their head on a 1.3 million dollar house and needed a way out that wouldn't cripple them financially either that or it's the realtor.
@@Sky_Blaze but it did cripple them financially so that doesn't make sense.
I love that the watcher made such an impression on the boys they made a whole UA-cam channel
Is that a joke or is that actually why its named that?
@@bran_done it’s probably why they did it
All Hail The Watcher!
Plot twist: They were the Watchers all along.
@@Phoebe5448 All Hail The Watcher!
I love how the watcher could find out nicknames and birth orders but can't spell their names properly
Well, if he was listening it would make sense that he would know what it was but wouldn't necessarily know how to spell it.
Well, birth order can be guessed pretty easily.
I think I remember seeing that the previous owners would leave the doors unlocked...maybe the watcher could’ve snuck in and bugged the house?
He might be dyslexic don't be mean
@@yankeefan1018 literally what I thought when I heard that
This watcher dude sounds like an edgy teen that wears an "anti-social social club" jacket and enjoys watching onision.
Don't forget he uses reddit and loves keanu reeves
Instead of doing his English homework, he's editing an ahegao face on *[1930s German leader].*
seeing this makes me happy, im glad that almost everyone hates onision
Distant it makes me smile too
It was onision
These guys so deserved a cameo on the Netflix show. I would love the family to hire private detectives and these two show up. One named CC Tinley. Ryan gets scared and runs away, Shane yells at the empty house to posses him as the family looks on flabbergasted!
LMAO CC Tinsley is on the case! Then no one ever heard from him again 🤣
Shane could be C.C. Tinsley and Ryan could be Ricky Goldsworth. That would be a squad to be reckoned with.
To think that Shane and Ryan later became Watcher :((
We lived long enough to see them become the enemy
this aged well
the watcher: does random creepy things
shane and ryan: *all hail the watcher*
also shane and ryan: make an entire company called watcher
The watcher did it
They ARE the watcher
They're just joking when they say that.
I thought that was hilarious
Subscribed!
Your hoodie string got pulled out in the dryer?
Watcher.
Can we get a fat R.I.P to whoever this happened to
Mary Whitman 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
thats me!! happens every time!!!
Thank you
Mary Whitman damn bro the watcher got me yesterday
I feel like the Watcher was someone in the neighborhood who probably had a grudge against Maria. Maria grew up in this neighborhood, left, and wanted to come back. The Broaddus's were clearly targeted, and the fact that the person got so upset after the Broaddus's sent letters back to the neighborhood shows a deep personal investment and grudge. It's just so petty and sad. I wish the Broaddus's would've stayed in the neighborhood and just protect themselves. Once this story became viral, it's pretty clear in my opinion that whoever the stalker is has far more to lose than the Broaddus's if the truth plays out.
69th like - youre welcome
Especially after that whole "wench" comment. It's like, ok this person clearly has a special amount of grudge towards Maria and there must be something to that.
doesn’t make sense. if it was someone with a grudge against maria why would they also send neighbors letters who had nothing to do with her? plus they wouldn’t have even known that maria was going to live in the house because they were sent before the family moved in. so that theory just doesn’t really add up at all.
@@greennlover00it does lowkey. Maybe the whole neighborhood adored Maria, and clearly someone was jealous. Could be someone too close to you..
would you really risk your own children tho?
The fact that this video is way more scarier than the Netflix show is outstanding to me
It’s really creepy that the person who’s the watcher has most likely seen this video
Most likely *watched
@Con 101 okay smartass
@Definitely a George Soros funded bot I didn’t know I was mad mb
@@who_againn_ now you know..
@@who_againn_ I think by saying "watched" they were referring to how that guys name is the watcher
Honestly if I lived there and I got that watcher letter I’d get a huge banner and put it above the door saying
“HELLO WATCHER! PLEASE WATER MY PLANTS WHILE YOU WATCH”
Lol same
Also take care of my dog while I'm out :( Dogs get sad when you leave them alone you know. :'(
Watcher letter I'd get and put plants wheile you watch
Yeah, I would respond with a friendly or comical approach.
I would be happy to have someone be there to look after the house, and also give him some chores to do while I'm gone. You know, keep him busy from taking the young blood. I'd also give him the task of cat-sitting while I'm gone. I'm sure He'd be happy to be doing things. If I got the letter, I'd write one back saying "Great! I have a list of chores that you can do, here they are...."
I remember watching this video years ago and learning about this case. Now, after watching the new loosely based Netflix series I decided to re-watch this video to separate fiction from fact. Great work guys!
I literally did the same thing lol, while watching it on Netflix I knew the story sounded familiar. Then I realized i heard it from buzzfeed some years ago lol.
I think the couples were the watcher
“Loosely based” is an understatement
The series honestly is maddening to watch after having done research and stuff on the case. They know there's no true resolution so they're tying in other entirely unrelated true cases like the List murders and trying to claim it's based on a true story. If I don't think about the true story, it's an interesting show, however.
@@omowry2374 that's not really netflix fault though. the family said they didn't really want to be associated with the series and they wanted a lot of details to not be included in the story so netflix had free reign to make it however they wanted.
Oh, the irony
We all know the watcher is actually just the mannequin in the back
That lowkey scared me
fr tho
I've seen that mannequin move I swear.
@@Jasmine-hw5hf I don't know but I've seen that mannequin move when they visited Hannah William's home.
Yoooo
Me : I have really bad paranoia
Also me : *watches the entire video*
Omg same then I can't sleep😂
Moooooood
i’m home alone watching this right now.
I live like three towns over from this
Facts
Saaaaaaaaame
I remember seeing this video a few years back and now I just finished watching The Watcher. This story is absolutely crazy
funny that shane and ryan named their new channel watcher lmao
the tension was building up and then, "his wench of a wife maria". -y'all I spit out my coffee.
Lol! Me too!
i had a shake and i choked on it
I crushed my origami
I was gonna ask why you guys were watching unsolved mysteries at breakfast, and then I realized I'm a huge hypocrite bc I'm watching them before I get up for the day.

@@Th3Watch3r could I get an autograph?
My mom was watching the last episode of the Netflix show and I started to recognize the storyline because of this EP of Unsolved. When I asked my mom, who was already done and tired with the show, if it was based on the true case of the Watcher that was NEVER SOLVED she lost all hope 😂
Same
This literally happened to me and my sister. I was hoping for a great reveal and she told me it must be based on this real case that was never solved. I was so devastated 😂😂😂😂
@@serenapeterson7569honestly!! The show was more confusing than my math hw!!
I ‘watched’ (😉) this when it came out and now I’m back after seeing the Netflix series and honestly no one tells the story better than Ryan and Shane. Funny that the family actually ended up selling the rights of their story lmao
I feel like it has to be them right? They jumped up house values so quick, they got in deeper than they thought they would have and needed out?? Idk much like the show, all of it is way to weird.
in another comment someone mentioned that in a recent interview they apparently didnt give their consent for the netflix show. idk tho, i may give it a watch (🙃) but other commenters dont seem to favour it x
they sold the rights to netflix (from everything i’ve read it was unenthusiastic) after lifetime made a movie without their permission. they received no money from lifetime but where given some narrative control and payment by netflix.
@@neuroticgurl0295I feel like they don’t need their consent tho cuz they didn’t use their names but maybe would if they still lived their cuz they used the address I think ik this reply is late sry I just watched the show and searched it up on here.
I can just imagine the watcher getting triggered when he goes to the comments section and everyone is making fun of him
Or her. It's weird most ppl assume the Watcher is a male. Meanwhile a psycho woman is hiding in plain sight. 😉

tinyrocketship oh _really_
Ayyy it worked thanks _mate_
my biggest fear is also looking at my window and seeing someone standing, watching me-with or without a smile.
With a smile would be scarier
lmao no one ever thought of this. But if the watcher made a creepy letter or if you experience anything creepy in general like being watched, phone calls, letters. You should become one with being creepy like standing outside and giving a creepy face, heck no one has ever done this just to see which one is creepier. smh
Lol
my curtains can't be open at ALL or i'll get crazy panicky
I be turning on my lights cause I ain't finna risk anything
As soon as Netflix recommended the show, I was like “THE UNSOLVED EPISODE???” and here I am.
I know it’s only been a couple hours… but I’m 3 episodes into the Netflix show now and the ghoul boys tell it better.
literally same!!
Bring back them 😢.simple production yet very entertaining
“Both were inflicted with-“

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 holyfrick
NOT THE BODY WASH! ANYTHING BUT THE BODY WASH!
Hahaha
true crime with ads is the best:
“The body had been severely injured with what was thought to be a ~new eyeliner from maybelline~”
Update: they sold the house in April 2019 at a 400k loss and Netflix bought the rights to make a movie, according to a NYT article
You da real MVP here ✊🏽
Did they make the movie yet
Capital Orca idk why
@Capital Orca Different time zones?
Did they make the movie? Yes Or No? 😂 I Really Wanna Know
I love how the more you learn about this case, the more you realize it was just some scraggly little guy who thought he was being super edgy and cool
“I walk into buzzfeed, ‘mornin’, all hail the watcher’” this sentence is so funny 3 years later
Maybe it’s a mailman? Someone who passes the house regularly, has access to their mailbox, and wouldn’t raise suspicion. Also a ‘trustworthy’ person that can casually talk to children.
That....... Makes a lot of sence but the guys dad and grandpa and dad have to be mailmen as well
Naley Dyck omg imagine a bloodline of mail men being like
What if we messed with people
And it just continues honestly family goals
@@iguanas_in_a_trenchcoat I mean, the only proof of that is the Watcher's claim. They could have just made it up.
BUT, WATCHER, IF YOU'RE READING THIS (WHICH I'M SURE YOU ARE BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR WHOLE SCHTICK), I'M JUST TRYING TO CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR HYPE. I DON'T ACTUALLY DOUBT YOU, I SWEAR. ALL HAIL THE WATCHER.
@@piequals314 yup, you do make a good point. all hail the watcher!
I think it's the Broadus Family.
maybe it’s just a dude trying to lower the property value so he can buy it cheap later
"New twist in 'The Watcher' mystery - No copies of threatening letters, no summons served, and former residents insist there was NO stalker - but family still demanding triple its $1.35m sale price"
But the family didn't fake it for money..
They missed out their 11 mortgages..
😂
Ohh and the whole "they didn't do it for movie deals" isn't there a movie now🤣
well somebody bought it few hours ago for cheap rate
Somebody bought it a bit ago for like half the price
jerrey n loss of nearly 500k
What if someone who wanted to buy the house did it so he could lower the property value
After seeing the new Netflix show I can say it wasn’t as scary as it would’ve been if I hadn’t watched this back in the day. Since I knew the real story it was weird to see the difference.
I think since he mispelled their name in the letter, he overheard what their names were rather than looking them up or something.
Creepy
So he was probably close to them without them realizing
@@sympathiser_of_Germans_in_40s yeah, I feel like that's so much creepier than like stalking them online.
@@sympathiser_of_Germans_in_40s I feel like he heavily implies in his letter that he bugged the house. That way its feasibly for him to actually be listening in on them without anyone noticing
Or this was a clever attempt to make it appear like a stalker. If you misspelled names then it couldn’t possibly be the parents or new owners.
The real question is “Who watches The Watcher?”
Bryce’s Life easy. The watchers manager
And all of us watching this video
Shane does! Since he scares demons he must scare the watcher!
Then who watches the person that watches the watcher?
@@markh1562 The CEO of Watcher
When Netflix does a whole series with cast and large budget yet cannot beat the Ghoul Boys telling
Came back here before watching the Netflix version. Shane and Ryan are the best. 😊
if i was being watched by the watcher i would do semi-concerning weird things just to make him confused. like dressing up in a rat costume and dancing to “stayin’ alive” and “never gonna give you up” in the middle of the living room alone. edit: guys i actually didn’t do this. yes i did. no i do. no i didn’t because i did.
carly barker exactly be equally as weird and they’ll leave u alone

Then after you've finished dancing, cry for 15 minutes while eating raw pasta. Do this every night at 4:20 am for 3 weeks and boom. Stalker no more.
I was taking a dump when Ryan looked at the camera and said "oh you just took a poopie and you ran out of toilet paper?" I feel really uncomfortable now.
All hail the watcher

Who's here after Netflix's the watcher? So glad Ryan , Steve's, and Shane's new UA-cam channel is doing well. We love it.
What channel is it

Is anyone coming back to rewatch this episode after watching the Netflix series??
No?? Just me?
Netflix stole your flow bar for bar 😂
Plot twist: The boyfriend never showed up because he doesn't exist. She was sending the letters.
He lived near them, there's proof he exists
the dna on the letter was also a womans sooooooo probably lmao
Charli i’m soooooo glad someone mentioned that
BOOOOOWOWOWOO
Right! And if she's imagining her bf, she might be mentally unstable and capable of doing anything which includes being the Watcher.
for post mortem: wouldn't it be fun if the Broaddus randomly send a "Hello, The Watcher. I know it's you" letter to their neighbors and see which one freaked out.
#postmortem

Do one of those things where you change one detail for each one so you can find out which one is guilty

I mean anyone that is not in their shoe or have been heavily stalked in their life cannot understand stress the family was going through. Totally insane stuff. I'm glad they have moved on now and settled elsewhere. The new Netflix TV series based on this is being premiered too
I love that this story is now so popular that it has its own Netflix show
it's open ended just like real story
Well it’s genuinely scary.. this community is fucked up..
Teacher lost your homework?
All hail the watcher I guess
Lana Rob haha
Best comment hands down
Is it really paranoia if there's someone literally watching you and sending threatening letters though?
It's still Paranoia; Just justified paranoia!
Wouldn't you become super wary in this situation?
Yes. Yes it does
Who knows ;)
The Watcher wtf
I guess it would come down to whether or not you could handle that type of physiological abuse.
This house is 2 blocks away from my home, I grew up in Westfield. I was 12 when this started.
IS THIS WHY THEIR NEW CHANNEL IS CALLED WATCHER?? ahhh! I’m 33 and I care about this.
"the watcher" sound like a name that a 13 year old would call himself on a free mobile game or on his xbox
Followed by a series of numbers or x's.

Honestly I was thinking it’s probably just like a teen messing with them cuz it’s fun.
Coming back to this video because I knew there was something familiar about ‘The Watcher’ on Netflix. The writers totally saw this video. ❤
And then several years later, these two became 'The Watcher', iykyk. I love you ryan and shane💗
Y'know how they revisit haunted locations? They should also revisit this case in mystery files, but y'know, with their own production value and whatnot
What if the watcher is actually the Duolingo bird making sure the new owners of the house didn’t miss their Spanish lessons

They could’ve literally just put a camera facing the mailbox.

@The Watcher well I've not changed what I've written so
@@soreenloaf7519 Ring Doorbell
The thing about that is “The Watcher” would mail out his letter and it will arrive the next day, and the mailman would deliver the letter to that mailbox. I think the best way is to open each mail and see where it was sent out from, but again it would be illegal to open someone else’s mail.
Honestly I would have gotten a fancy mailbox and shoved a GoPro in
Revisiting this video after watching the Netflix adaptation and oh man did they take some “creative” liberties when making that one.
I love the idea that the watcher was just heavily dyslexic and spelt there names wrong
Imagine the watcher watching this video and being like HELL YEAH IM ON BUZZFEED UNSOLVED

"To the vile and spiteful Derek and his wench of a wife Maria" *woah there buddy*
Derek is writing the notes so he can show his true feeling about his wife and kids 🤣
I reacted before Shane did, that was excessive!
I been obsessed with this case since this episode and I’m so thrilled Netflix made a show about it.
And then they created their own channel called Watcher 😂
"I'm watching you!"
Me: alright but I gotta warn you, you'll have more questions than answers.

WERK
"One of the safest neighborhoods" ** has neighbor who likes peeking through windows and going in peoples yards**
It’s probably a pretty small town. Small towns are always fucked up.
I live in Westfield rip.... the house is so nice and I feel so bad for them
I’m from the town there is no crime or anything this was weird to happen
Shane: ALL HAIL THE WATCHER!
Also Shane: This guy sucks!
Coming over to this old episode from their new The Watcher stuff 😂❤
I feel so bad for the family I can’t even imagine the psychological pain and paranoia they must’ve gone through in their everyday life...I hope they’re okay now
Same. That’s my biggest fear and I’ve kinda been in that situation... so I can relate
Titanus Rodan really?! What happened?
I think they are, my mom went to school with one of the homeowners. I think they're still in touch. My grandparents still live in Westfield, and I've seen the house. It's on the same street as my grandparents house
@@georgiagelderman4949 Are you aware your grandparents are watchers?
@@dootperfect6542 nah, they're not. Dont worry, I've asked them lol
The fact that he knows their names, but misspelled them is terrifying. That means that he didn’t look them up, but he HEARD them say the names. He wasn’t just trolling them from some computer 30 miles away, he was there, listening.
Actually, to me, the misspelling is the biggest red flag that they did it themselves. Like, that just screams, “Well, it couldn’t be us! See? They misspelled our name!”
I can’t make up my mind about if they did do it, but that particular detail is really suspicious.
@Gianna Carter I just wish I shared his musical skills lol I’ve been on a puppet history binge today.
agreed, not good to think about
@@83gemm You're trying to say 'we misspelled our names because we totally assumed you would totally not think we would misspell our names when we totally actually did." like you're trying to Jojo bizarre adventure this mystery when the harder theory comes from the op. Hers requires insight. Both are possible. Hers is more valuable as it places the location of the killer.
Ew ew ew ew ew that grosses me out about how real that could be so creepy I'm so scared for no reason
Love how this video is more scary than the one that Netflix made... Netflix version feel like it's parody instead..even their actings
i heard it wasn't great, so i came here instead.
@@smudgeeee6259 well they took an unsolved case, and added too many irrelevant fiction in it to make it interesting..they added an evil character n plot but still keeping it 'unsolved'..now who would explain the thing about that character..it still needs a closure
For those interested, my family has lived is Westfield for years. It’s a very safe and wealthy suburban town, but there are alot of old-Victorian style homes that have been occupied for years some of which were passed down and are now home to elder recluses who dislike the “yuppy” types moving into town. Developers try and purchase this Victorian era homes to build more modern houses but these lifers refuse to sell. We are friends with many in the town government and the police chief has said they believe it was one of these old reclusive residents, probably living in a family home, who decided to mess with the new home owners.
Honestly? I agree with Shane's mini-theory that the whole neighborhood was in on it.
at least that they knew who it was and stayed mute
Either that, or it was a scam like _The Amityville Horror._
I think that too
We weren’t I lived down the street I knew nothing until I was questioned by police
Agreed. The rest of the neighborhood was acting way too suspiciously and terribly to the family for them to not be involved in SOME way.
This sounds like a men who thinks the Joker is about him
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY
*BOTTOM TEXT*
they literally found a *womans* DNA on the note
Like a men ? This comment sounds like the person who wrote it needs to check his poor grammar skills.
@@FootSauce89 I don't know, I don't think someone called "Julia" is necessarily a "he."
@@jillianc7485 they haven't found dna on any other note it could be his mother's or girlfriends.
Watching the Netflix show The watcher now and it reminded me of this episode. I knew it sounded super familiar. Can't wait to finish this show.
Karen from the Netflix show was just on a Christmas add for this video lmao what a funny coincidence
Yeah I saw that too lol, that's also stiflers mom from American pie
If this was a movie, the family would have still moved into the house anyway despite the creepy letters lol.
Netflix spent a million on the movie rights for this
yeah, you can totally see this as a lame horror movie too, probably starring Nicole Kidman lol
Just your standard horror movie family
and then they start seeing creepy things and are shocked
Hmmm.... a house that had 3 murders, 2 torcher chambers, and a unknown watcher in a pear tree?
*I will take it!*
I realize that this is probably a little detail that people probably won’t take much notice of, but… I think that was super nice of the Broaddus family to rent the house out to someone, but would let them move out if another letter arrived. I just think that it was nice that they gave the new people who lived there a way out. I can always appreciate an act of compassion.
Another act of compassion....SHANEIACTS BURN DOWN THE HOUSE.
Lele Scarlet I’m guessing the renters requested it be in the contract
The Hamburgler possibly. 🤷🏽♀️ But even if the people renting the house requested it, it was nice of the Broaddus family to agree to was still pretty nice. Also… your username is awesome 👏🏼
I want to believe this but I really think this was the only way they could get tenants
I could always be wrong, but it could have just been a way to protect themselves from legal troubles, like being sued or whatnot.
And NOW Netflix has a series abt this. I’ve been known abt the watcher bc of y’all 😭
Bro the writers board and the walking around snapping visual you guys drew up actually made it into the show. Lol well put gentleman.
