He told them what street he lived on, which ended up being the same street she grew up on. She explained to him that she grew up on that street and that her parents sold their house years ago. After pointing out her house to him, he asked, “Wasn’t that the house that had a man looking in the window?”
She was surprised he asked this question because it was so long ago. When she told him yes, he replied, “Oh yes. I remember reading about it in the newspaper.”
This really floored her, as the incident was never written about in the newspaper. The peeping tom incident from all those years ago wasn’t very hot on the town gossip radar. In fact, the only thing neighbors might remember was the police showing up at the house one night.
There were no public reports made on the incident at all. Furthermore, this man had no relationship with her family, so she firmly believes there was no way he could have known what happened at her house that night.
This led her to believe that the old man sitting next to her in the van was the same peeping tom who had shown up in her sister’s window 15 years prior. After talking to her family about it, they all feel the same way.
“If I’m right and he was the creep, how often did he watch us through the window?” she asks. “Was the only time, or just the final time?”
Thankfully, she never saw the man again after they dropped him off at his house. But the strange coincidence of picking up her peeping tom in a snowstorm will always give her chills.
