Sinopse
Today we’re talking about Ruthie Mae McCoy, the real-life inspiration for the urban legend of Candyman. We’re going to read the article that started it all and react to it as we go. But before we dive into the real-life case that inspired Candyman, let's set the stage by talking about the legend itself—how it started, where it came from, and why it freaks people out so much.
