Babysitting Job Turns Nightmare [0:08]
A 22-year-old woman takes a babysitting job for a man named Craig, who needs someone to watch his dog, Max, while he's away for a week. On the third night, she notices a modern digital alarm clock in the guest room that seems out of place. Upon closer inspection, she discovers a small pinhole camera pointed directly at the bed. Suddenly, she hears a door closing elsewhere in the house and footsteps approaching the guest room. Craig is back, earlier than expected.
Craig claims he left something in the room and needs her to open the door. He then tries to downplay the camera as a motion sensor for the dog, but his demeanor turns aggressive when she refuses to open the door. Fearing for her safety, the woman climbs out the window and escapes to her mother's house. She consults a lawyer but is told that without physical evidence, it would be difficult to press charges. The woman is left traumatized, constantly checking for hidden cameras and haunted by the thought that Craig may have been watching her the entire time.
