The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs — also known as The Baby-sitter or The Sitter — is an urban legend that dates back to the 1960s about a teenage girl babysitting children who receives telephone calls from a man who continually asks her to "check the children". The basic storyline has been adapted a number of times, including in ''Foster's Release'' (1971), ''The Sitter'' (1977), ''When a Stranger Calls'' (1979 and 2006), ''When a Stranger Calls Back'' (1993), and ''Amusement'' (2008). (''The Sitter'', ''When a Stranger Calls'', and ''When a Stranger Calls Back'' are all the work of director Fred Walton.) It has also been covered in the television programs ''Freaky Stories'' and ''Mostly True Stories: Urban Legends Revealed''. == The legend of The Babysitter and The Man Upstairs == A teenage girl is babysitting at night. The children have been put to bed upstairs and the babysitter is downstairs, watching TV. The phone rings, a man is laughing and telling her to check on the children. She at first dismisses the call. After a second call of the man laughing and asking her to check on the children, she asks who it is, the caller hangs up. Rather than checking on the children, the teenager decides to ignore the call and goes back to watching TV. The stranger calls back again. Eventually the girl becomes worried and calls the police, who tell her they will trace the next call. After he calls again, the police call back, they tell her that the call is coming from inside the house and to get out now. She goes outside and the police meet her. They tell the calls were coming from inside the house, and he was calling her after killing each child. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
