The Watcher creeped out the whole family by anonymously sending letters; the letters depicted these words “Once I know their names I will call to them and draw them too [sic] me.” the letter had no address or insight regarding the writer behind it. The letter closes with the line, “Welcome my friends, welcome. Let the party begin.” The final and fourth letter differs from the previous letters that Watcher had sent.

And The Watcher won.” At the show’s end, the audience could get a reference that John Graff was The Watcher.
