Fan visits

In recent years, Chris and/or Barb have occasionally been visited by fans at their house.

Joey Vance


On 18 October 2019, Joey Vance and his older brother visited Sonichu Headquarters to meet Chris. Their accounts were posted on Reddit in r/ChrisChanSonichu the next day.

The two brothers were initially visiting Charlottesville and since Ruckersville just happens to be in their way, Joey decided to make the most of their time together to personally visit Chris. The overall visit was described as a calm experience between the two parties, with the older brother (known by his Reddit handle xv5qx) even giving a Sonic toy as a "peace offering". One interesting note Joey mentioned is the fact that Chris smells of weed. Whether the musk is the result of his usual poor hygiene or his new drug habit is still up for debate.

Audio
Joey also recorded conversations regarding Jacob Sockness.

Swag, dripped out baby! (higher pitch) Dripped out!

Anon on /pol/
On 28 June 2021, an anonymous user on 4chan's /pol/ board visited 14 Branchlord Court to take pictures of the house and the Dodge Caravan. The user played the flute near Patti's old doghouse and apparently saw Chris peeking through a window in the house.

hoov2002
On 27 July 2021, Reddit user hoov2002 visited Chris at 14 Branchland Court, and took two photos with him. Of note is how both of these images feature Chris wearing negligee, which he claimed he had been wearing during some instances of his affair with his mother. This visit was not publicly posted about until March 2022, likely due to the fact that Chris' incest came to light just a day later.

Phillip Jeffries
On 29 August 2021, during the fallout of the incest incident and the August 2021 arrest, a Kiwi Farms user called Phillip_Jeffries visited 14 Branchlord Court with a friend in order to see the condition of the aforementioned Dodge Caravan and the cats. Phillip was able to confirm that the vehicle was back at the house, and that at least two cats, Baby and Sylvia, were still living at the residence. Most notably, it was also confirmed that Barbara had returned to the house and that the Caravan had been registered with replacement license plates.<

Winfield Winfield
Dylan Winfield, also known as Winfield Winfield is the self-published author of the first book in a planned horror novel series. Dylan seems to have found promoting his book by spamming Reddit and Twitter ineffective, so in June 2021 he hit upon the idea of sending a copy each to Chris and Barbara and asking for their reviews. Needless to say, the events of late July and early August would make that difficult, but Dylan continued to promote the idea of reaching out to Chris.

On 6 September 2021, Dylan traveled to Ruckersville, where he took a video at 14 Branchland Court as well as numerous still images in an attempt to promote his book series by piggybacking off Chris's Internet infamy. In addition to committing the crime of trespassing, he can be heard making his agonizingly cringey commentary about the house and its surroundings throughout the video as well as mentioning his book, revealing his true purpose in making the trek to 14BC in the first place. The following day, he uploaded the video and messaged GiBi on twitter. This resulted in his exposure on the Kiwi Farms, and several people calling him out on his clout-chasing attempts, after which he deleted his video within an hour, suggesting he was following the thread. Why, then, he didn't know better is a mystery.

e1ectricthunder
e1ectricthunder was a young woman who posted a very brief video of her and an unknown accomplice interacting with Barb. The two of them went to the Chandler home, claimed to be friends of Chris's looking to get in touch with them, and were met only by a very confused-sounding Barb. Their visit was not well-received, especially on the Kiwi Farms, where this was viewed as the harassment of an elderly woman, who was a subject of sexual abuse from her own son, for Internet clout, which lead to her doxing.

On 20 September 2021, she and an unknown male visited 14 Branchland Court, knocked on the door to reveal a seemingly confused Barbara, and asked, babbling, whether Chris was home or not. Barb was previously described as looking frail, more "gone" than usual, and growing facial hair. Barb seemed to be confused when asked about where her son was while Clover howled at the door. Given that Barb did not know that she was being recorded, this was seen by some as evidence that she is not faking having cognitive difficulties as some claimed she did in Chris's begging videos, or at least that her alleged difficulty hearing is getting worse.

The video was then posted to the r/ChrisChanSonichu subreddit, but was deleted though not before being mirrored.

[dog whimpering throughout the video]

Ellen : Hey. Um, I was just wondering if Chris was home. [steps in front of her friend to get closer to Barb] I was just wondering if Chris was home.

Barbara : Pardon?

Ellen : Y- is Chris home?

Barbara : I do not understand.

Ellen : My- My friend Chris, I was just wondering if Chris was here.

Barbara : No.

Ellen : Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry to bother. [Barb closes the door]

Larry Vaughn
On 16 December 2021, Larry Vaughn decided to visit 14 Branchland Court after the totaling of Son-Chu. While there, he took two photos of the property, most notably with the van missing. He would later post both of these photos on Reddit. Larry had also claimed that Barb still lives at the house, despite the accident, and that the property was mostly cleaned up, clearing up the hoard, and possibly all of Chris's belongings.
