The Oakville Blobs

The Watcher

In June 2014, Derek and Maria Broaddus, after months of searching, completed the purchase of their new property, located in the town of Westfield within the US state of New Jersey. Commencing renovations prior to moving in, the family frequently visited the house to check the progress of alterations. When Derek stopped by the house alone, checking the work that had been done, and then collect the mail from within the mailbox. Derek pulled out a white envelope endorsed with handwriting unfamiliar to him and addressed simply to “The New Owner.” The contents of this letter would start a chain of events that created suspicion, fear, police investigations, and ultimately saw to it, that the Broaddus family would never live their new home.

The Oakville Blobs

On a quiet August morning in 1994, the residents of Oakville in the US state of Washington, woke to find something falling from the sky. It wasn’t rain, snow or hail. This was different. Something soft. Something translucent. Something alive — or so people said. Within hours, people began to fall sick. Some animals began dying. And the town found itself at the centre of one of the strangest environmental mysteries in American history.

In November 1980, Police Officer Alan Godfrey, is driving his car along a country road within the County of West Yorkshire in the north of England. Responding to a report of cows wandering loose from their paddock, Alan is reminded of the body he helped recover 5 months earlier, while driving near the same location known as Todmorden.
