4 Unsolved Cases Involving Babysitters

If you ever attended a sleepover as a kid, or found yourself telling creepy stories around the fire on a camping trip, chances are you’ve come across the urban legend of “the Baby Sitter and the man upstairs”. The folk tale has countless different iterations, but always centres around a teenage girl who becomes the victim of an unknown stalker who repeatedly threatens her and the children she is looking after.

Though it can be notoriously difficult to trace the origins of any particular folk tale, what is often most interesting about these kinds of stories is what they reveal about the fears of the society in which they arise. It would seem that stories of disappearances and murders involving babysitters is a common theme, especially when you consider the broader genre of horror books, movies and television. Even more chilling, it seems that there may be a good reason for this, as there are several real-life examples of baby-sitting jobs that went tragically wrong.

Today, we wanted to take a look at a few cases like this, focusing on stories involving baby sitters that became the stuff of nightmares, and may themselves even have inspired an urban legend or two.
