Late one night just as the sun began to set behind the distant hills a piercing scream was heard in the distance. Could this be the return of the psycho man that disappeared ten years ago that went around and knocked on children’s windows and would scream until he made them cry many years ago? The man’s name was Jeff Reddy , he was supposed to be shipped off to a mental asylum. When he was a child he was dropped on his head and his parents and siblings were mean to him. The psycho man did not graduate high school because he was always scaring people in school until one day a girl named Mary told the principal and he was suspended and they put a 350 foot restraining order from Mary. Jeff had it out for her because she got him in more trouble …show more content…
with his parents then he did from the principal and the restraining order. When he got home his parents were so mad they disciplined him bad and he had to go to the basement and not come out until he had to go back to school. One day, he got tired of being in trapped in the basement, so he found a screw driver and he unscrewed all the screws that held a metal frame around the window so he would not escape. Jeff pried the frame all the way off and he popped the window out and he took off straight for school because it was not dismissed yet. He waited for Mary to get out. Finally, school was dismissed and he seen Mary and he followed her home and she walked in her house and locked the door, Jeff hid in the bushes before the coming of dark. Mary locked the door so Jeff could not get inside so he decided to wait for her to crawl in bed so he could scare her. When she got in bed Jeff had been waiting in the bushes watching her every move waiting for her to close her eyes. She just laid down when she noticed something move in the bushes and she shut her window because she was scared already. She just fell asleep when Jeff slapped the window as hard as he could so that it would wake her up and he screamed a long, and rambunctious scream. She woke up and seen his shadow from the street light and she was frightened and scarred for life. While he was running off a young child seen him do that and the kid called the cops. Jeff was scared so he ran back to his house to make sure his parents weren’t suspicious about him being the guy that scared Mary. Jeff waited for the next night and now he wanted to do it for fun and scare all the little kids in the town.
He was walking down the streets when he seen a little kid just getting ready for bed so he snuck over to the bushes and waited for the kid to get in bed and he did the same thing he did to Mary at her house, but for the little kids he would let them fall dead asleep. Then he would crawl through their window and he would lock their door and break the handle so the kid could not leave the room. Then he would crawl out and jam the window shut and slam on it and scream and the kid would be horrified and not leave the room and then when the kid started crying he would leave so the parents don’t catch him and turn him …show more content…
in. The town was small but he would do three or four kids a night and he would go home before he got caught. He did this every night and he would make sure the kids were horrified and his suspension was coming up and he had one week left until he had to go back to school. His parents still had him locked in the basement they slid his food under the door when they remembered that he was down there. His siblings were so mean that they would eat his food and slide him crackers and spam under the door. He only had warm water to drink out of the sink down in the basement. Jeff was not looking forward to going back to school so he skipped one night of going out to scare kids and he thought how he could either get kicked out of school again or just disappear. He thought and thought about getting kicked out and he was thinking that it was going to make his parents more mad at him. He figured if he ran away he would not have to deal with his parents and siblings no more but on the other hand his parents would have a possibility of finding him and get even more angry at him. Jeff was still making a decision on what he was going to do he had thoughts on where he was going to live if he ran away. He was thinking if he got expelled from school his parents were going to make it harder on him then how mean they already are to him. Jeff made his decision to run away and find an abandoned house that nobody lived in or an old barn to hang his hat. He was planning on escaping like he normally does but he would have no way to put the cage back on unless he found a way to latch the window from the outside. The window latches from the inside only so he switched the latches so they were on the outside. Jeff finally escaped and it was dark so he was going to scare everyone he seen going to bed so he ran around the block and scared a few. His new thing was he found an old mask in his basement that had a old man so if they saw his face it would be the mask instead of his actual face. Jeff thought that since he no longer had to deal with his parents he was going to scare Mary every night and become a stalker. When he was walking around he found a sticky note with a pen laying next to it. At that moment he figured he was going to start leaving notes that would say “I will be back!!”. He figured that he would stick that on the window of the persons houses he was scaring. Jeff was walking around when he walked into a big lot with a big abandoned mansion that no one has lived in for years. He walked in and seen that there was couches everywhere then he wandered up the stairs and seen a big hallway that had rooms everywhere so he found the one with the most comfy bed and claimed it as his home. Laying down in bed, Jeff thought that he was living the life he didn’t have to deal with his parents no more but he figured they were going to be on the search for him so he was going to scare only three people a night and he would make sure that Mary’s house was the first one to go to.
He wanted to make sure to get her because he wanted her to be scared of a stalker and he wanted revenge on her for making his life even more miserable. When Jeff arrived at Mary’s house that night he went and waited in the bushes and seen her crawling into bed but he noticed that she wasn’t in pajamas she was still dressed in pants. She just rolled over and that was the signal for Jeff to bang on her window and when he went up there, he was going to bang on it, then 3 cops jumped out of the bushes and pointed guns at him and they yelled “put your hands where we can see them!”. Jeff panicked so he took off running and the cops wouldn’t shoot because they didn’t have the right to so they went and hopped in their cars. Jeff headed straight for the woods. He found a big tree with a coon hole in the side of it. Jeff was a small kid he fit in this whole for the coons and he hid out in there til the cops left the area and he jumped out and went to his abandoned home. When he got there he went back to Mary’s house and seen she was in a deep sleep and he banged on the window and screamed and woke her up. Mary got up and ran to the window and yelled “What do you
want?”. Jeff yelled at her and said “REVENGE!!”. Jeff took off running because Mary was chasing him and he figured she was mad and was going to catch him but he had his mask on so she wouldn’t know who he was. He ran about 2 miles and he led her right to his house. When they got there he locked the door as soon as she went through and he had her trapped. He said he was going to keep her hostage here until he found a way out of town without being caught. Jeff was worried because he seen flyers of a missing man and it was a picture of him and it said he was going to be shipped off to a mental asylum once he was found. Jeff was figuring out when the trains leave town every day. When he was thinking about it he heard Mary screaming something but he couldn’t figure it out he had her tied up so he went in the room to find out. Mary was screaming “let me go!! You will pay for this!”. Jeff had her tied up for a few days until he figured out when the trains were leaving so he was going to leave her in the house when he heard a screeching sound coming from the room Mary was tied up in. She was opening the window and he yelled at her “stay back from that window!”so she does not escape and get him caught. Just as he said that she jumped out of the window and fell head first onto the cement patio and she died right there. Jeff thought that the train doesn’t leave for another hour and there is a dead body lying in the front patio. If someone saw the body, the house would be under investigation and he would have to leave the area so he wouldn’t get caught. He ran to the train station and found a place to hide until the train left. Consequently, Jeff got on a train and no one has heard from him since until tonight when we just heard a piercing scream coming from the distance hills!
The knife that served as the murder weapon was sourced from the kitchen. Their bodies, which were burnt quite badly, were found in their bedroom, which was upstairs. This crime scene was uncovered by fire officers who responded to a 000 call by a neighbor at approximately 3:34am, after Jeffrey had told him his parents and his brother were dead.

Even when Jeffrey was incarcerated for the death of Tim in the penitentiary institution he was still being bullied! He thinks about being reborn as someone better. Jeffrey told the truth when he was tried in court, which proved he showed remorse. Jeffrey proved that he was really strong and has a lot of self-control (you know, besides when he hugs his bully of a boss to death), considering the circumstances, anyone would have eventually snapped. At least Jeffrey did not kill a complete innocent. In the end, Claude used his observation skills against Jeffrey to maintain his authority he had on the job.

But once the accusations started, she couldn’t back out for fear that her name would be ruined even more. She was just as scared as the other girls involved, but had to hide it behind the lies and cunning actions because she had no one to turn to in her time of need.
