The Clown Statue/Doll

Example 2

A girl is babysitting a sleeping infant. She goes up regularly to check on the baby and the third time notices a life-size clown standing in the corner/sitting in the crib. A few minutes later the parents call and the babysitter mentions the clown and how unnerving it is. The parents relate that they've never bought a clown and the police are called.
The "clown" is discovered to be a local sex offender waiting for babysitter to go to sleep before attacking her.
