Circleville, Ohio. 1976.
Circleville is a small town. One of those small towns where everyone knows each other and everyone likely knows each others business. It would have especially been this way in the 70s and 80s. Back then, it was likely one of those small towns where doors were left unlocked during the night and newcomers settled in there to get away from madness found in bigger cities. Circleville was a quiet, idyllic town… Until it wasn’t.
In the late 70s, residents of Circleville, Ohio began receiving anonymous letters postmarked from Columbus with no return address. Letters were seemingly being sent to everyone in town, detailing personal information about the recipient and claims that they were being watched. Scandalous accusations were being made by the unknown writer. In many cases, the letters threatened harm, either physical or through the destruction of careers and personal lives. Some contained graphic drawings and most concerning for the recipients, many of the accusations in the letters were true. In total, thousands of people had been or were in the firing line to be contacted by the unknown writer.
But out of everyone in the town targeted by the letters, one person in particular seemed to be the main focus of the anonymous sender.
