The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join me in The Red Treehouse for a truly unsettling urban legend--The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. A common horror movie trope, you may not realize the legend has its roots in the horrific, 1950 real-life murder of 13-year-old Janett Christman.
Is The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs nothing more than an urban legend? Or is it more a case of fiction imitating real life?
Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
