Wed, 26 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

In the summer of 2019, Ina and David Steiner began experiencing a series of increasingly unsettling incidents at their home in Natick, Massachusetts.It started with something they couldn't explain. Then came strange messages, unwanted deliveries, and other disturbances that seemed too specific to be random. As the incidents continued, the Steiners found themselves trying to piece together what was happening while dealing with something they couldn't quite identify. Who was behind it? Why were they being targeted? And was there a connection between all of these seemingly unrelated events? What began as a strange situation would soon become much more serious, and at the time, Ina and David were simply trying to understand what was happening to them. This is the bizarre story of the Steiners and “FidoMaster.”
