Stranger

The **Stranger** is a supporting character in *Night Shift* and *Stay Out of the House*.

## Description

### Appearance

The Stranger appears to be a rather tall Caucasian male with black hair in an afro haircut. He wears glasses, a pair of mitten-like gloves, brown pullover, grey pants, and grey shoes.

### History

This mysterious man, whose actual name is unknown, lives in a trailer park on the outskirts of Cedarville, Oklahoma. He is implicitly an accomplice to the Night Shift Abductor, who resides in a large manor just a few yards away, and works alongside him in capturing victims by staking out potential kidnapping sites and serving as a go-to decoy in the rare case of escapes from the house. Due to this affiliation, he might also be a member of CFV.

## *Night Shift*

The Stranger is the third and final patron who arrives during Debra's shift. Unlike the previous customers, he walks to the shop and does not appear with a vehicle. Upon entering, he will tersely greet the cashier and ask whether she's are alone on shift. Regardless of the answer, the Stranger will suspiciously wander around the store, oftentimes stopping in his tracks and looking around the interior, as well as covertly glancing at Debra, before picking a beer and bringing it to the check out. Following his purchase, he will walk away from the gas station into the empty road.

Though it is unconfirmed, it's suspected that the Stranger may also be the driver of the white van, which is purportedly the Night Shift Abductor's transport vehicle, that regularly circles the gas station throughout the night.

## *Stay Out of the House*

The Stranger appears in the Parasite ending. After Roxanne manages to flee the house, the Night Shift Abductor, wielding a chainsaw, begins a hot pursuit of her. As she enters a residential area in the form of a caravan site, the Butcher abruptly disappears while Roxanne bangs at the door of one of the trailers. The Stranger opens up and acts eerily calm and disconnected as she begs for help in a blind panic, simply asking whether Roxanne would like to come in. He keeps up his nonchalant demeanor, even as she doubles over and pukes blood at him, before the screen cuts to black as a worm-like creature squirms from Roxanne's mouth.

In the Mother ending, the fate of the Stranger is unknown, considering the explosion that destroys the immediate area surrounding the Butcher's house.

## Quotes

* *"Hi. You here all alone?"*
* "*Hello*"
* "*Do you want to come inside?*"
* "*What's wrong?*"

## Trivia

* When *Night Shift* was first released, due to their tall heights, suspicious behavior and consecutive appearances after another, the Stranger and Night Shift Abductor were thought to be the same person. Following the implementation of the Parasite ending in Version 0.7.2. of *Stay Out of the House*, this turned out not to be the case.
* In the extended ending of *Murder House*, Jordan uses a retextured version of the Stranger's model.
* In the full release, the Stranger is voiced by Corpse Husband in an uncredited cameo.
