Viewers of The Watcher say the Netflix horror series has left them too scared to sleep

Netflix viewers have been sleeping with the light on or calling friends for impromptu sleepovers after watching the new horror series The Watcher. Based on a true story, The Watcher follows a family as they move into their dream house, only to be stalked out of it by a mysterious letter writer.

Despite a long investigation by police and private detectives, the culprit has never been caught. After five years of torment, the real-life family sold the house without ever finding the answers they so desperately craved.

Now, fans have taken to social media to admit their paranoia after watching the seven-part series. Many have confessed that they have found it difficult to sleep, fearing that they themselves are being stalked by The Watcher.
