In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents during the years of 1971 to 1972, former Salisbury University students and professors collected folk legends. For this collection, these interviews focus on various stories of the urban legend about the babysitter who was one the phone with a killer who was also inside the home. Most interviews include personal descriptions of the interviewer and informant, and the story.

Materials within the Folklife Collection are for research use only – names of students and the interviewed subject(s) may not be published without the explicit permission of the Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University.
