* [[Trope Namer|Named for]] a [[Shel Silverstein]] poem in ''Where The Sidewalk Ends''.
* The Pale Green Pants With Nobody Inside Them from the Dr. Seuss story ''What Was I Afraid Of?'' Scary-looking, but quite harmless.
* In ''[[Discworld/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]'', the surplus life force causes clothing and other inanimate objects to get up and walk (or, more accurately, run) around on their own. In particular the wizards notice a full suit running off, followed by another pair of trousers, chased by a man shouting "I paid seven dollars for you!" Ridcully is astonished by this; he didn't know there was a tailor in the city who'd include a spare pair of pants with a seven dollar suit.

* There is a Japanese children's picture book about a little boy who dawdles getting dressed, so his pants run off without him and he has to chase them. Basically, a silly story about not being late.
* The villains of [[Larklight]]'s second book are {{spoiler|aliens from near the end of time called Moobs, which disguise themselves as clothes (mostly hats) and can [[Demonic Possession|take control of]] or [[Telepathy|telepathically communicate with]] people who wear them.}}

* ''[[iCarly]]'' has a bra that tells [[Mundane Ghost Story|unscary scary stories]].
** A broken washing machine would be pretty terrifying to a bra.
* Willow does this with magic to one of Tara's shirts on [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]], to try and cope with being lonely.
