2. The Clown Statue (A.K.A "The Clown Doll," "The Killer Clown," "It the Clown," or "The Clown Serial Killer")

According to the story, the "Clown Statue" is not really a statue, but it is a human who pretends to be statue. Instead of hiding, he just froze. Last 2006, there's a reader who explicited the story about the "Clown Statue."

"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."

3. The Russian Sleep Experiment

This story is about the Russian researchers conducting a study. Their subjects were five prison inmates. They were sealed in an airtight chamber and dosed with an experimental stimulant gas to test the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation.

The group of researchers promised prison inmates freedom if they could go without sleep for 30 days. On 9th day of experiment, one prisoner was screaming at the top of his lungs and the other one was ripping apart the books they'd been given to read, smearing the pages with feces, and plastering them over the mirrored windows so their actions could no longer be observed.

After several days, one prisoner died while the rest had ripped open their own abdomens with their bare hands and some had even eaten their own flesh.

The 4 prisoners who are still alive were transported to the hospital, During the surgery, chief researcher pulled out a pistol to the 2 prisoners and asked "What are you? I must know!"

One subject answered:

"Have you forgotten so easily?" the subject said, smiling. "We are you. We are the madness that lurks within you all, begging to be free at every moment in your deepest animal mind. We are what you hide from in your beds every night. We are what you sedate into silence and paralysis when you go to the nocturnal haven where we cannot tread."

After that, he fired a bullet into his heart and the subject murmured : "So...nearly...free."
