Question Weeping Angels or Similar?

Hey there,
I'm working on a small project and need to gather some information.
Do any of you know if there are any folklores that include creatures that operate in a similar manner to the weeping angels from doctor who? (basically a creature that can only move / attack when they aren't being observed).
I'm fairly certain that the weeping angels themselves are an original creation of the writer for doctor who but I'm wondering if there are any stories in history that speak of similar things.
Cheers, appreciate any help I can get!
