Deep Lore

Maria and Derek Broaddus, along with their three kids, were preparing to move into 657 Boulevard, Westfield, New Jersey in June of 2014. The Broadduses' ideal home was located at 657 Boulevard. The nightmare began even before they moved in, though. They started getting letters from an unknown sender signed "The Watcher." The nightmare did not end until they sold the house and relocated far away from 657 Boulevard.

The Odozi Obodo Cult was created by Nwiboko Obodo, who hailed from Isieke, a village a few kilometers from Abakaliki. In the village, he put together a group to stop crimes from happening. But the group's actions soon became dangerous and oppressive, and people in the village started to think that the group was killing people. During this time, cult members' incomes started to rise, and they started to show off their money, which brought in more people. The village's high priest, Obodo, would pay the taxes of adults in the village and then charge them fines. If they couldn't pay, their farm or property would be taken away. Eventually he was arrested and convicted for murdering his wife in cold blood.

In Japan Macaques Monkeys are running rampant and attacking civilians. The police are trying to hunt them down, but it isn't easy due to how organized the monkeys are.  In 2011, Rebecca Zahau from San Diego seemingly unalived herself after a tragic accident involving her Boyfriend's son.
