Urban Legend
The Babysitter
Here is my new series about modern
urban legends. This new series will cover several urban legends, stories like,
“The Hook”, for example. Please check this blog regularly if you want to keep
updated on these legends.
The
first urban legend I will cover is the well-known story of The Babysitter. Basically,
to start out things, let me write down the general gist of this myth, with my
notes in parentheses:
“A couple
living in a large and isolated house goes out to a dinner party. They hire a
babysitter to be in charge of their two children (the number of children
fluctuates depending on which version of the story you’re reading). The
children had been put to bed and the babysitter was watching television. The
phone rang, and she answered. However, all she heard was a man laughing
hysterically and saying, “I’m upstairs with the children; you’d better come
up.” (What the man says also varies, but it always involves him saying or
asking her to come upstairs to check on the children).
The
babysitter assumed that it was a prank call, she hung up and turn the TV sound
up. A short time later the phone rang again and she heard the hysterical
laughter again, and he repeated, “I’m upstairs with the children; you’d better
come up.”
By this
point, the babysitter has gotten very frightened, so she called the operator
and was advised that they would notify the police. The operator also tells the
babysitter that should the strange man call again, that she should keep him
talking in order to give the police enough time to trace the call.
Minutes
later, the phone rang, and the voice said again, “I’m upstairs with the
children; you’d better come up.” Even though she tried to keep him talking, he
quickly hung up.
Only seconds
later the phone rang again, and this time it was the operator, who said, “Get
out of the house straight away. The man is on the extension upstairs.” The
babysitter put down the phone and just then heard someone coming down the
stairs. She fled from the house and ran into the arms of the police. The police
burst into the house to find a man wielding a large butcher’s knife. He had
entered the house through an upstairs window, murdered both the children and
was just about to do the same to the babysitter.”
The story
most likely originated in the early 1960s, and deals primarily with the
adolescent insecurity with accepting increasing responsibilities and making the
transition into adulthood. The teenaged babysitter is not only left alone, but
she has children to look over, and fails at her duty catastrophically when it
is revealed that the children were killed.
Even though
it’s unlikely that any of this happened in real life (the story is very much
implausible once you think about it), it’s still a good story and one that
really packs in the suspense. This is probably why it was adapted into the 1979
horror movie When A Stranger Calls, and a similar story was told in the
1974 movie Black Christmas.
Urban Legend (definition)
What is an urban legend?
Urban legends are incredible stories – sometimes scary, sometimes funny – which have a tantalizing bit of plausibility to them. Urban legends contain many folkloric elements and they spread quickly through a community or society. The tales are usually told dramatically, as if they are true stories that have happened to a real people, although they may in fact be fictional. Local touches are often added to the legend.
Urban Legends
Well, talking about urban legends the first thing that I want to say is that I don't believe in ghosts, witches or any walking death.
I have heard many urban stories. For example, I know a man who had a very bad accident two years ago, because of that accident he was six days in coma. When he came to, he said that he was driving his car along Duarte highway, from Santo Domingo to Villa Altagracia, it was around 11:30PM and suddenly he saw a shadow or a figure in front of his car then he lost control and crashed into a tree. After that he has been operated twice.
