Week 4: Urban Legends

The scariest Urban Legend that I have probably ever read is the Babysitter and the Clown Statue, but yet again I don't read many urban legends so it wasn't that scary. This story is about a babysitter who babysat one little boy and girl. The parents of the children had an obsession of clowns and had a room full of them, some were even life- size. There was one particularly placed in a rocking chair, and one night the babysitter started to feel uncomfortable about this statue. She felt as if the clowns eyes were following her whenever she moved with the children. So the babysitter called the mother of these children and asked about this clown, and she couldn't remember any clown with this description. By the orders of their mom they went over to their neighbors house and were safe. Later the mother explained to the girl that for years the neighbor had been giving them problems for years, and was mentally ill. Many different times before this, he had tried to sneak into their house and kidnap their children. But he would always would dress up like a clown and wear all the make up and everything whenever he had the opportunity to do it. Later they informed the police that and they never had any actual proof until now.
