So I’ll try n make this fairly brief, so much to the entire story.
So I’m a small time contractor who does home remodeling n San Diego County. I’ve been working on a remodel project off n on for the past 6-7 months. Built a 30’ radius Yurt for the 55 yr old brother of the new homeowner to have his own place n the backyard. The main house will be occupied by his sister and a few kids.
So as time has gone by we have discovered the brother is just a tad “off”.
The place reeks of sage as he has encounters with spirits/entities on a daily basis. That’s it in a nutshell...now let me tell you a few things he has said to me in the time I’ve been there. One more thing....he is EXTREMELY intelligent and her he cannot function n society. Okay, here goes...these r things he has told me.
“I believe the spirits do not mean harm to me or anyone else, yet they do enter my body and try and communicate through myself” Then he proceeded to ramble incoherently for approx 10 seconds while his eyes rolled back in his head. This is the second time I witnessed him when the spirits were using him to communicate with me.
Here’s another that bothered me...
“ I’m sure there are many people in prison who think the same way I do”
What n the fuck is THAT supposed to mean?
Yesterday, the most disturbing of all.
“ apparently, if a entity enters my body and if I were to kill someone, I would be responsible for its actions”
Now that really has me concerned.
So I told his sister about a few of his ramblings and she assured me he is harmless. I don’t give a shit...all it takes is for him to go off and then he is no longer “harmless”
So me and my wife came in one day and there was a partially assembled gun on the kitchen table. I could tell what it was but I knew it was a rifle and it appeared he was either cleaning it or putting it together.
I consider you guys to have some common sense. What are your thoughts on how I should proceed? I mean he hasn’t committed any crimes ....yet. Do I look like a chicken shit and tell the sister I’m not working there any longer? What do you guys think?

This is America where we tend to "live and let live" but if he kills the neighbors because the spirits told him to...you're gonna have to live with that on your mind. He's living in a yurt...which already says, "different".
Different doesn't scream BAD but it it doesn't inspire trust either. This is a country of citizens...and that comes with the responsibility of protecting others from harm. His family members may say he's harmless but they are thinking of his interests...not others.
I know you'll do the right thing...even if it's tough.
People with mental problems are extremely unpredictable, personally I would stay away from him and maybe let the local authorities know too.
Schizophrenia.
Look up Son of Sam. It was the barking black dog that told/made him do it.
There is a good chance there are meds that will help the guy.
Unfortunately, he will probably resist taking them, and the sister will deny anything is wrong due to the stigma
she feels is associated with mental illness.
Hey, the gun thing makes it serious.......plowboy has a point.
The Shop
The friends dad asked my granddaughter if she could get some pain pills from us. If we said no....and she could steal them...he'd pay her.
We called the sheriff and turns out he's been in a shit ton of trouble. Assault, theft, drugs...the usual. The kids have been removed from the house before. My wife was really concerned because this went down while I was in Yuma AZ for work and she was worried about retaliation. She's British and pretty liberal but is a fucking deadeye with every gun I own. She just can't stand being forced to take a life...even if it's a pos junkie.
I appreciate the input on this. I’m really torn on what to do right now. May have a sit down with the sister first and make sure she is made aware that he may have a rifle n the house. I don’t trust him one bit and I’m wondering if he’s intentionally bringing up these discussions so that he does get locked up before he goes off.
A very nice couple hired me to do a fair amount of work. They were the kind of people I could never be. They had adopted 2 retarded kids from the Philippines if I remember correctly. Anyway they were very mentally challenged. One was about 6'2" and 280 and he was enthralled with my tools. I had to really watch them when they were home and I was working. The couple said they were harmless but I was nervous. One day, when I thought they were at their school, I rounded the corner in the bedroom I was working on and he had my sawzall in his hands and it was plugged in. I'm thinking Texas chainsaw massacre. I called out for her and she got it away from him but not easily.
I finished what I was working on in a couple of days and then told her I could no longer work for her. It was too stressful.
My feeling is that the couple were not in tune with what strangers in their house had to deal with. I'm sure you have had the situation where the customer has a dog that doesn't like you being there but they don't see it as an issue. It's a stipulation I have to make from the get go. Keep the dog out of my egress and work area. Period. I want to be able to enter the back yard with both hands full without worrying about your dog getting through the gate I was unable to shut. It's a real pain how people fight you on this.
You might be young enough to handle the stress but I'm not.
As a 2 year old I was mauled by my parents Great Dane. 500+ stitches in my face...left ear sewn back on. My parents loved the dog so they gave him to a older guy. The dog ate his wife up real bad. He had to shoot him to stop him.
My point is...family is not objective. If YOU were concerned about this fella...so would others if they knew.
Pit Row
I was thinking about going to law enforcement but wasn’t sure if they could do anything based on words. Then if he knows I went there and he doesn’t get locked up, I may be a target along with my family. Anyway thanks for all the thoughts everyone
Me i'd be at the local police station having an informative chat. You don't want to be a target but you do want to be safe, i have real empathy for you right now. Ask the Sister to keep him away from you while you are there at all times. Confront her with your fears not easy i know but better safe then sorry.
He commits an actual crime. And being wierd isn’t a crime.
I wouldn’t hang around that place. Get your money and get out. not worth it. If you’re gut is tellin you to get out, get out.
Does this guy ever speak to you normally?
If not, it's a "wellness call" from the local police.
If he can pull off a decent conversation with them, that's about as far as it will go.
The locals might want to at least talk to him.
Tell them what you know, and see what they say.
If you're in fear working there, they should come have a conversation with him.
Problem solved society safe.
My instincts kicked in and thought holy hell I can’t let the dumb dog get out, grabbbed it’s on the ass and it snapped at me and I barely dodged it. damn near shit my pants 😂 another time It chased me out of the yard.
I’m dog friendly but strangers and dogs just don’t mix. Some people are forever ignorant “she’s a nice dog”🤦♂️
To the OP, the dude sounds like a nut for sure. Sucks the past 6 weeks have been shittier than usual just because of that alone. Hope your time is well compensated! Why in the hell would that family/sister allow someone like that to own a gun. FFS. I would definitely express your concerns about the brother to the sister.... your in a pickle for sure. It’ll probably be fine, but I feel your pain
