About this episode
In 1950, a teenage girl was babysitting for a local Missouri family when she was brutally murdered before the nights end. She was able to phone police and briefly ask for help, but the call dropped and was unable to be traced. Within years of her terrifying murder, an urban legend developed that has inspired numerous horror stories and movies… This is the story of Janett Christman, and The Mans Upstairs.
