  • On 7 July 2018, the web site Feedy TV posted an article reporting that a security camera in the home of the Peerc family had captured their babysitter, a serial killer named Nancy James, placing barbed wire around their infant's crib. This footage did not originate with a home video surveillance camera, nor did it provide the FBI their first visual record of serial killer Nanny Nancy James. This video was staged with actors and props for a creepypasta YouTube channel called Don't Turn Around. Don't Turn Around originally posted this clip in April 2016 along with a brief and fictional story about a serial killing babysitter. The details in that description, such as the babysitter's name, the FBI's involvement, and her purported capture date, were repeated in the 2018 FeedyTV article: The original video's description also included some information about the intent of the video channel — to create original, exclusive scary videos and creepy pasta — as well as a disclaimer informing viewers that the baby was never in any danger during the making of this short film: The YouTube channel also offered more descriptive information in its About page: Don't Turn Around scares you with anthology horror stories, creepy texts, text messages, text stories, short horror films and stuff to creep you out. Best watched with headphone on, lights off and home alone. The fictional character of Nancy James has popped up in at least one other Don't Turn Around video. In June 2017, the YouTube channel posted a video about James, supposedly now a substitute teacher, and her creepy book Fishing for Kids. The original World's Scariest babysitter video featuring the totally non-existent serial killer babysitter Nancy James can be below: This is at least the second time that a video made by Don't Turn Around was mistaken as genuine by enough people to warrant a fact check from Snopes. In May 2017, some viewers mistook one of the channel's creepypasta videos about a child named Chloe Jones being abducted on a school bus as a real-life event.& (en)
