Watcher

Background

The Watcher is an old spirit of the woods. He stole the souls of the Boss Hag, Hump Hag and Fat Hag when he promised to look after their souls until they found their whistles.

During the events of Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Season 3 Episode 3 The Tale of Watcher's Woods played by Tom Rack

The sun goes down and Sarah hears something call her name. She turns around and looks at a tree, and the face of the Watcher appears on the tree. He welcomes her to his woods and she runs away.

Later, as Sarah is running through the woods the Watcher calls out to her and then appears before her. He offers to keep her soul, but Sarah pulls out Kelly's lighter and threatens to burn down his woods and he lets her pass. In the morning as Sarah and Kelly are walking back to camp, an antique car driven by a driver who looks like the Watcher drives by with the young version of the Hags riding in the back, who wave at Sarah and Kelly.
