Back Away Slowly

22: The Babysitter & the Man Upstairs [Part 2 of 2]


Listen Later

Time to wrap up the Babysitter & the Man Upstairs, now focusing on the symbolism within the urban legend. Who is the man upstairs, and why is he even there? We also go back to a few crimes in the 40s and 50s that certainly fanned the flames of the story, if not outright creating it. 

After this, we’ll have 1 more episode in our season on urban legends.
