Clown Doll

The Clown Doll (or Clown Statue) is the main antagonist in the urban legend based somewhat on "The Babysitter And The Man Upstairs" legend.

Legend
A babysitter must take care of a baby who wakes up crying in the middle of the night. As she tries to comfort him, she watches as the collection of toy clowns in her room seems to stare at her.

The girl has already worked with the boy for weeks and has experience with many other babies. But of course this is not her favorite house, since the father has been collecting a collection of toy clowns on his various trips. Her dolls give him chills when she must enter the child's room to watch over him in her crib.

The night she appears normally; Suddenly the baby starts crying in her room. For more care and attention that she gives him, the child does not stop crying.

To top it all, the father looks like he has bought a new clown almost the size of a child, a terrifyingly realistic piece that they have sat in the rocking chair.

The girl, after more than an hour trying to get the baby to sleep, decides to call her parents to ask them if she has taken a nap longer than she should and if they gave her the right bottle before going to the party. She is desperate for the incessant crying of the creature. Her mother tells her that there is no reason why the child should cry, but that in any case she gives him a little more milk and tries to put him to sleep by rocking him while she rests on the rocking chair, so she can also rest.

The girl asks if she can remove the new clown from the rocking chair and where she should leave him; the bewildered mother immediately passes the phone to her husband.

The man asks him what the figure that he told his wife is like. Without saying more words and deeply concerned, he tells the nanny to immediately take her son and cross the street to her neighbor's house; once there she must call him again.

The scared babysitter carries out the orders she has just been given. She walks into the boy's room, picks him up from her crib and. Without turning her head toward the rocking chair to look at the clown, she carries him down the stairs to the street. Upon arriving at the neighbors' house, she calls the lord of the house again.

He is really scared and answers him while he drives his car at full speed towards her house. He explains that he has never bought a clown of those characteristics and that someone in disguise would probably enter the house to rob, when he felt that he was going up the stairs he would sit in the rocking chair to be confused in the darkness.

The totally terrified girl watches through the window of the neighbors' house as a few minutes later the little clown escapes. The woman she does not believe that he is a thief.

An hour later, the police arrive and search the house but find nothing.They tell the woman that it may have been a thief who tried to rob the children's rooms to kidnap the child or steal something of value while they father sleep. But the woman with uncertainty doubts that she was a thief, because there was only one exit that is the one in front and at no time did she see anyone leave.

Biography
A "friend of a friend", (normally a girl in her teens), is babysitting for a family in Newport Beach, Ca. The family is wealthy and has a very large house with a ridiculous amount of rooms. The parents are going out for a late dinner/movie. The father tells the babysitter that once the children are in bed she should go into this specific room (he doesn't really want her wandering around the house) and watch TV there.

The parents take off and soon she gets the kids into bed and goes to the room to watch TV. She tries watching TV, but she is disturbed by a clown doll in the corner of the room. She tries to ignore it for as long as possible, but it starts freaking her out so much that she can't handle it. In most versions, she calls the parents, who then tell her they are not in possession of a clown doll. She ends up calling the police.

The police arrive and apprehend the "clown", who turns out to be a man with dwarfism who escaped from a mental hospital. In some versions he is a homeless person dressed as a clown, who somehow got into the house and had been living there for several weeks. He would come into the kids' rooms at nights and watch them while they slept. As the house was so large, he was able to avoid detection, surviving off their food, etc. He had been in the TV room right before the babysitter right came in there. When she entered he didn't have enough time to hide, so he just froze in place and pretended to be a doll.

In darker versions of the tale, he is instead an escaped mental patient or serial killer rather than a perverted homeless guy. Sometimes he is the ghost of a clown that died in the house. Sometimes he follows the babysitter when she goes to call the police. In either example, he can be considered an antagonistic and dangerous enemy.
