URBAN LEGENDS
A young girl in need of a job was able to find work as a babysitter for a couple who lived in a large, isolated, old house. They were going out to see a movie that night and left the teenage babysitter in charge of their two young children.
The babysitter put the children to bed when it got late and then went downstairs to watch some television. She was just getting comfortable when she heard the phone ringing. When she answered it, all she heard was heavy breathing followed by a man's voice asking, “Have you checked on the children?”
Freaked out she hung up the phone, trying to convince herself that it was just someone playing a practical joke on her. She went back to watching television but about fifteen minutes later the phone rang again. She picked up the receiver and heard hysterical laughter from the other end of the line. Then the same voice asked, “Why haven't you checked on the children?”
The babysitter slammed down the phone. The poor girl was frightened out of her wits and immediately called the police. The operator at the police station told the babysitter that if the man called again, she should try to keep him talking. That would give the police time to trace the call.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again a third time and when the babysitter answered it, she heard the heavy breathing again. The voice on the line said, “You should really check on the children.” The babysitter listened to him laughing hysterically for a long time. She hung up the phone again and almost immediately it rang again.
This time it was the operator from the police station who yelled “Get out of the house right now! The calls are coming from inside the house!”
The babysitter dropped the phone in shock and suddenly she heard heavy footsteps walking down the stairs. Without pausing for a second, she ran out of the house as fast as her legs could carry her. Just as she closed the front door behind her, a man's hand slammed against the glass. She screamed and ran out into the street just as a police car was pulling up outside.
The police searched the house and found the two children upstairs, hiding in a closet, crying uncontrollably. In the parent's bedroom, they found a bloody axe lying on the floor next to the upstairs phone. The back window was wide open and the curtains were blowing in the breeze. There was no sign of the madman who had made the phone calls. He had escaped into the night when the police had arrived and managed to interrupt his plan to kill the two children and the poor babysitter.
Mary’s family lived very close to the graveyard where she was laid to rest. The first night, Mary’s mother thought that she heard a scream coming from Mary’s grave, but no one believed her.
Days later, Mary’s mother convinced the family to dig up her grave. When they did, they found Mary dead, but they also saw scratches on the top of the coffin and Mary’s fingernails were bloody from her efforts to escape the grave.
Now if you follow these instructions, you may be able to see Mary for yourself. At midnight on Friday the 13th, turn off all the lights in your house. Go to the bathroom and turn on the water in the shower and the sink. Flush the toilet, look into the mirror and say “Bloody Mary” 5 times. She will appear in mirror. You need to hurry and turn on the light or she will stab you in the back.
On a foggy night a young couple were driving to their school reunion in their old 1987 Toyota. They heard a special news report “…warning everyone that a convicted killer, had escaped from the near-by criminal asylum and was last seen in a woods at Calderdale…”
The woman started freaking out “That’s just on the other side of the valley! Turn the car around I want to go home” but just then the car bucked twice then died. An overhanging tree branch went THUNK… THUNK… THUNK… on the roof of the car and they both jumped. “It’s fine. I’m going to look for help” said the man, “climb in the back and cover yourself up in that blanket. When I come back I’ll knock on the roof 3 times. If you hear more or less than 3 knocks DONT OPEN IT UP.”
The young woman tried to persuade him not to go but her partner said “What are we going to do? We can’t just sit here until someone drives by.” and so he left.After he had gone she locked the car doors and climbed into the back seat and
covered herself up in the blanket and waited. She looked at her watch
25 minutes had passed… 35… 40 then she heard a knock… “oh
come on two more” knock… “yes! Come on just one more” knock…
“ok! stop no more, please let that be you!” knock… “NO!”
her blood turned ice cold knock… knock… knock… “please
someone! please! someone help me!”
Then the knocking stopped. She could hear a radio, with a dispatcher’s voice giving instructions that she couldn’t make out. Two men were staring at her through the window. She realized they were police, behind them she saw the spinning blue and red lights of the police car, “It’s ok young lady. You can come out now” said the 1st police officer.
Her shaking hand finally found the lock and she stumbled out. “Where’s is my boyfriend? Didn’t he come with you?” she asked.
“Come to the patrol car. DONT LOOK BACK – just keep your eyes straight ahead” said the 2nd police officer.
“Why can’t I look back?” she asked.
“Just come on to the patrol car miss” said the police men.
Overcome with curiosity she looked behind her and saw her partner, still wearing his evening suit, hanging from an overhead tree branch. One of his shoes was gently hitting the roof of the car, knock… knock… knock…
There were two girls who were the best of friends in school. When they went to college, they decided to live together and become roommates. One night, they were staying up late, trying to do some last minute studying for a midterm exam that was scheduled for the next morning.
One of the girls was quite lazy, so she decided to give up studying and went to bed early. The other girl was a hard worker, so she stayed up late because she wanted to do well in the exam.
During the night, the girl who stayed up remembered that she left one of the books she needed in her bedroom. She didn’t want to wake her roommate by turning the light on so she sneaked into the bedroom and rummaged around in the dark for the book she needed.
She heard some heavy breathing and she whispered her roommate's name, asking her if she was awake. The was no answer. Then the girl heard something moving around in the dark and she whispered, “can I turn the light on I need to find something” there was no answer. The girl sighed in frustration and continued to search for her book in the dark, she eventually found it and make her way through the dark room to the door. She stayed up all night studying and in the morning, raced down to the exam hall to take her test. But she noticed her room mate never showed up. The girl was worried about her friend so when she got home, she rushed upstairs and knocked on her friends door. There was no answer again. The girl was getting quite anxious at this point, so she opened the door and turned on the light. She was met with the most horrible sight she had ever laid her eyes on. Her room mate lay motionless, sprawled on top of her bed in a pool of blood. She had been brutally murdered. Then the girl turned around and saw something that chilled her to the bone. Written on the wall behind her in blood were the words “aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?”
A few years ago, there was a wealthy couple who had two young children, a boy and a girl. The family lived in a large house in the country. After taking care of the kids all week, the mother and father decided that they needed a break, so they booked a table at a nice restaurant.
That evening, they called a teenage girl they knew and arranged for her to come and babysit while they were out. When the babysitter arrived, the parents told her to fix supper for the kids and put them to bed.
“After that you can watch tv and help yourself to anything in the fridge” said the father.
“And if you wouldn't mind,” said the mother, “could you watch tv in our bedroom? The kids have been having nightmares recently, so if you hear them crying, you can just go in and calm them down.”
The babysitter happily agreed and the parents left for their dinner date. The girl gave the children some milk and cookies, then sent them up to bed. She started to read them a bedtime story and, before long, the children were a sleep. After tucking them in she switched off the lights and went to watch tv.
When the babysitter walked into the parents room and sat down, she noticed that there was a creepy looking clown statue standing in the corner of the room. She tried to ignore it, but it looked so eerie and disturbing that it sent a chill down her spine. She felt its eyes always on her while she watched tv.
As time passed, the babysitter felt more and more uneasy about the clown statue. Whenever she glanced at it, she got the unsettling feeling that it had moved, ever so slightly.
“Hi, its me,” said the babysitter, “everything's fine. The kids are fast asleep in bed, but I was just wondering .. would it be okay to watch tv downstairs?”
“Of course,” said the father. “But why?”
“I know this sounds silly, but the clown statue is creeping me out.”
“The clown statue?” said the father.
“Yeah, the clown statue in your bedroom” the girl said.
The phone went silent for a moment.
“Listen to me very carefully,” said the father. “take the children and get out of the house. We will call the police. Go now!
“What's wrong?” said the girl.
The father gulped and replied, “we don't have a clown statue.”
For a second, the babysitter just stood there, stunned. Then she dropped the phone and raced upstairs and grabbed the children. Carrying one under each arm, she raced downstairs again and fled out into the street.
Huddled on the side walk, comforting the two children, the babysitter looked up at the bedroom window and saw something that made her scream out in horror.
Peeking through a gap in the curtains was a white, painted face of a clown. It stared at her for a moment, then sank back into the darkness.
Within minutes, the police arrived and cautiously entered the house. In the upstairs bedroom, they found a man dressed in a clown suit. When they arrested him, they found a knife concealed in his costume.
The clown turned out to be a mentally disturbed midget who was a convicted murderer and cold blooded killer. The evil man had been stalking the family for months, lurking in their attic during the day time and coming out to sneak around at night.
