The tale of The Watcher just about put Lynze over the edge. Dan told a very well documented story that would not traditionally fall under the paranormal category but then again, maybe it does. A couple buys a new home, their dream home in fact, only to find out that someone else does not want them to be there. Or do they want them to be there so they can get the "young blood" of their children? The story is terrifying, overwhelming and will add a new reason to be scared. In the second story, Dan...

And then, when I was about half-asleep, laying on my side facing the window, it felt like someone crawled into bed behind me. As I started to wake up and roll over, not really expecting to see anyone, I felt hands on my upper back and I started to panic. I suddenly thought that someone else really was in my bed with me. My mind raced, wondering how they could have gotten in so quietly? Were they already hiding in the closet or something when I entered the room? Was...

Then, from inside the house, he heard a crash rang out. And then he heard something else that make his skin craw l. It didn’t sound sinister exactly, not at first.
