    The Candyman

    In 1987, Ruthie Mae McCoy made a frantic 911 call. Someone, she claimed, was trying to get into her apartment - through the bathroom cabinet. Two days later, Ruthie was found murdered. Her death was all too real. But the horror didn’t end there. Five years later, a new nightmare was born on the big screen. With the chilling command “Be my victim,” the legend of Candyman took hold - a vengeful spirit with a hook for a hand, summoned by saying his name five times into a mirror. But what if the story behind the legend is even more terrifying? Join Fruitloops as we delve into the eerie true crime that inspired Candyman - the life and tragic death of Ruthie Mae McCoy. Who, or what, is the real Candyman? Is he a supernatural killer… or a reflection of something far more sinister lurking in plain sight? Looking for listener letters, shout-outs & tips on how not to get murdered? You’ll now find them tucked away in our Love You, Bye episodes. This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams. Thanks for listening!
