Of course in some vampire movies a bat will be shown transforming into the humanoid shape.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wf-FWgS78A Well, at 44 seconds into this video, a bat under a blanket starts to turn into a peculiar shape. Even if its CGI, it's a great depiction of the mythological transformation. But what if it isn't just CGI?

Strange Urban Legends That Turned Out to Be True

A Pennywise-style clown 'stalking' streets of Scottish village

 https://news.sky.com/story/pennywise-style-clown-stalking-streets-of-scottish-village-leaves-games-for-residents-to-solve-12986106

Even if he means well, he could still frighten some people.

https://news.stv.tv/west-central/creepy-clown-terrifying-residents-by-stalking-streets-of-skelmorlie-in-north-ayrshire-ahead-of-halloween

However, someone else could put on a similar costume and pull kids into the sewer.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12635579/moment-morning-reporter-tracks-real-life-pennywise-clown-scottish-village.html

Unfortunately, in this day and age, anyone in such a costume should not be approached by anyone alone. Safety in numbers is the best way to be. No one in their right mind would want to be taken underground into a shit-pipe where IT the clown can party with you. 

"A menacing clown said to be stalking the streets of a sleepy village in Scotland weeks before Halloween is daring police to catch them.

The clown, dressed in a Pennywise-style outfit complete with a mask and make-up, has reportedly been terrifying locals in Skelmorlie - a village of around 2,000 people in North Ayrshire.

A Facebook account has been set up for the clown under the name Cole Deimos, with a video uploaded to the page daring police to hunt them down." 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/clown-pennywise-skelmorlie-north-ayrshire-b2429210.html

If this bloke wants you to pull his finger, he just might pull your pants down. Don't submit to IT and his Bull Shit!

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/clowns-police-dc-threats-reports-b1853491.html

This urban_clown phenomenon isn't just another urban+legend. It has been going on for several years.

The 'Curse' of Lake Lanier

A lot of urban+legends can be explained away or simply ignored. However, sometimes an enduring mystery remains.

From urban legends to rural folklore...
http://doubtfulnews.com/2013/09/le-loyon-mystery-character-of-the-swiss-woods-is-photographed
There really are mountain men & hermits of all sorts, someone like Mr. Gas-mask can be difficult to confirm, especially if he wants to be very elusive. Perhaps most of them are benign, if not harmless. However, there are also strange & mysterious mountain_men that aren't just living off the land, like in yesteryear. Of course, some of them are ferociously bearded, stinky & monstrous.
http://www.history.ca/mountainmen Like a Lion-man or the 'Le Leyon' man in the Swiss Woods.

Its one thing if a person has become lost in the Australian Outback under suspicious circumstances.

Perhaps for some, its a way to intentionally disappear from civilization.

However, reoccurring sightings of a Swiss mountain man wearing a gas mask strikes fear for the local folks.
