Scary Stories (2 of 10) Candyman...

Candyman helped his friend Rufus run away from the plantation but was later caught. Rufus told the slaveowners that Candyman helped him escape, and the men wanted wanted revenge. They hired some people to cut off Candyman's right hand with a rusty blade and no one came to his aid. There were local beehives near Cabrini Green. They got the honeycomb and covered Candyman's naked body with the honeycomb. Candyman was stung thousands of times and died a slow, painful death. His ashes were scattered all over Cabrini Green. As the legends have it, say "Candyman" five times with the lights turned off or four times with the lights on and on the fifth time, turn off the lights and he will appear behind you, breathing heavily and then cut you up. My friend tried it and three minutes after she did it, she felt something stinging her ankle... then her legs... and then her fingers. After ten minutes, the pain was gone-because she was dead!!
