Shut off the fucking light.
:14:12
Sorry.
:14:53
Last week, we discussed
folklore as a gauge...

:14:58
for the values of the society
that created them.

:15:00
Today--
:15:02
Today, we get more specific.
:15:09
A baby-sitter receives
menacing phone calls.

:15:14
And upon investigating them...
:15:16
she realizes that
they are originating...

:15:19
from an upstairs bedroom...
:15:22
the very room...
:15:24
where she's left the children
under her care...

:15:27
to sleep.
:15:29
Now, who's heard this before?
:15:35
Well, that really happened
to a girl in my hometown.

:15:37
Oh, yes.
l'm sure it did.

:15:40
l'm sure most of you...
:15:43
grew up thinking
this did happen to girls...

:15:44
in all your hometowns...
:15:46
but it didn't.
:15:49
You see, the baby-sitter...
:15:52
and the man upstairs...
:15:53
is what we call an urban legend.
:15:58
Contemporary folklore...
:15:59
passed on as a true story.
