Here is a true story, not just an urban legend. Names will remain anonymous.
A friend of a relative of ours was asked to "watch" an adult with Down's Syndrome while the mother (a friend of the friend) was out of town. This adult with Down's was fully capable of looking after himself during the day. She was just asked to stay with him in the evening.
The first day, she kept getting calls from him while she was at work. He kept telling her, "I have caught a troll." She did not know what he was talking about. When she arrived at his house that evening after work, she found that he had a closet door barricaded with chairs and other various furniture stating that he had the troll in there. So, she removed the barricade and took a peek inside.....
There was a midget locked inside that had been by earlier that morning to share his religion as a Jehovah's witness! The guy with Down's had taken him for a troll and locked him in the closet.
After he was released and calmed down, he decided not to press charges.
Wouldn't that be interesting, "I was mistaken for a troll and locked in a closet all day...."
Just thought you might want a laugh today. And it really is a true story!
Maybe he looked something like this:
