Urban Legends have been around for centuries and they are creepy or scary stories that
have been passed on by people who claim that they are true.
There are a ton of them out there and if you’re interested in watching all of our Urban Legend
videos you should check out our Urban Legend playlist.
But first we are going to dive right into the Top 10 scary Candyman urban legends.
The original Candyman urban legend starts us off in at number 10.
The Candyman is an urban legend that has many different variations from around the world.
But one thing that these stories all have in common, is that they will absolutely terrify
you.
The original, and most told Candyman urban legend is about a murdered slave who returns
from the dead in order to seek revenge.
According to the legend, you can summon the Candyman if you look into a mirror and say
his name five times.
It is said that he will appear behind you and kill you with his hook.
For the sake of the video, I think we should summon the Candyman.
Well now that we have summoned the Candyman, keep an eye out for him…because he might
just appear in this video.
Let’s get this list started in at number 9 with the origin story of Candyman.
According to the legend, the Candyman was a real person.
Many years ago, during slavery, the Candyman was said to be an African American man named
Daniel Robitaille who worked on a plantation in New Orleans.
He was a talented painter who was chosen by the plantation owner to paint a portrait of
his daughter.
But Daniel quickly fell in love with the daughter and when the racist plantation owner discovered
that his daughter and a slave were in love, he got an angry mob to chase Daniel out of
town.
The mob caught up with Daniel and severed his right hand with a rusty saw, then they
doused his body in honey and threw him into a beehive.
Daniel died from his injuries but not before he cursed the men who killed him.
Daniel vowed that he would return and get his revenge on all of them.
It is now believed that his spirit would never rest and that his ghost roams the Earth, waiting
to be summoned.
The Candyman’s powers and abilities makes it onto this list in at number 8.
So apart from mutilating his victims with his hook hand, the Candyman has a lot of other
tricks up his sleeves.
He is said to be immortal because he has been around for centuries and does not age or need
food or water to survive.
He is able to teleport at high speeds and even go through walls, which is exceptionally
helpful when he is chasing his victims.
He also has superhuman strength because he is known to throw his victims through walls
with no effort.
Lastly, according to the urban legend.
He is able to summon a massive army of killer bees.
Hmm… maybe I made a mistake by trying to summon the Candyman here…but one way to
beat him is to destroy the mirror that contains his soul.
So, if I find this soul, I can destroy him.
But where would I find this mirror?
In at number 7 we might have proof that the Candyman exists?
There are a ton of videos on YouTube of people attempting to summon the Candyman.
So I’m about to play you guys a clip of one YouTube user who claims that she was able
to successfully summon the Candyman in her bathroom.
Let’s take a look for ourselves.
Okay, okay, I know a candle going out isn’t exactly proof so let’s watch another clip
that happened later on in the video.
She has a disclaimer on her video saying that this game is extremely dangerous and that
you should never ever attempt this at home…well too late because I already played it at the
start of this video, and so far I am completely safe.
Or am I?
The Candyman board game lands into our number 6 spot.
Yep, that’s right…there is a Candyman board game.
As if playing the free version wasn’t enough, a manufacturer decided to make profits from
this urban legend by selling it to young children.
But seriously, what kind of parents would buy this game that promises to summon the
real Candyman?
The manufacturer denies all rumors that if you play this board game, the real Candyman
will crash your party.
But for those people who have actually played this board game, they claim something entirely
opposite.
People who have played this game reported hearing bee buzzing, being stung by bees or
even seeing Candyman written in red on their bathroom mirrors.
Yeah, I think that’s a good indication that you should probably go throw this game over
a bridge and into the water.
And maybe burn some sage in your home and move far far far away.
But that’s just my opinion.
The dos and don’ts when playing Candyman comes in at number 5.
If you are brave enough to try and summon the Candyman in your own home.
There are several rules that you need to follow in order to make sure that you are safe and
so that basically, you won’t die.
Well I think the obvious tip I can give you is to never attempt to play this game like
I just did but if you don’t believe in the Candyman, then it really doesn’t matter.
But apparently, after you summon the Candyman by chanting his name five times in the mirror
with the lights turned off, you are supposed to see red eyes from the mirror and when you
see them, you should immediately turn around and run to the brightest spot in your house.
If you don’t, the Candyman will torture and kill you with his rusty hook.
Playing Candyman at 3am drops onto this list in at number 4.
It is commonly believed that if you dare to summon the Candyman at 3am, terrible and scary
things will happen.
And apparently doing this challenge at 3am will intensify the whole Candyman experience.
Why would anyone attempt to do this freaky challenge at 3am?
Don’t you have better things to do like sleep?
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m pretty content with the original version of the Candyman
urban legend, I don’t think I will be waking up at 3am to try this…But, for research
purposes, I stumbled across a YouTube user who attempted to summon the Candyman at 3am
in a remote and deserted gas station bathroom.
So let’s take a look at what happened.
Did you guys hear the bees buzzing?
If you guys remember, bees are a big part of the Candyman urban legend so this is pretty
freaky.
But let’s watch what happens next That’s pretty messed up.
The Candyman wrote his name in blood on the bathroom tile, but I don’t know.
Do you guys think this video is real?
Would you guys ever try to summon the Candyman at 3am?
The real life Candyman slices his way into number 3.
Dean Corll is a serial killer who was believed to have been responsible for violently murdering
and slaying 30 teen boys in the early 1970s.
He had two teenage accomplices and together they would rape, torture and murder their
victims in Houston, Texas.
They would lure their victims by offering them rides or inviting them to parties where
they would be restrained and killed by either strangulation or shooting.
Dead Corll was known as the Candyman because his family owned a candy factory and they
would give out free candy to the local children.
He was a really sick and twisted person because he would force his victims to drink lots of
alcohol, until they passed out and then he would sexually abuse and torture them.
He also kept souvenirs from his victims as a sort of trophy and he would force them to
write to the parents and make up an excuse as to why they are missing.
Thankfully, his killing spree came to an end when he was shot to death on August 8th, 1973.
We have another terrifying true story about the Candyman, and this jumps into number 2.
Let’s travel back to October 31, 1974 when two young children went out trick or treating
with their father.
After a full night of trick or treating, the kids were tucked into their beds but the little
boy asked his father if he can have just one of his treats from his Halloween bag.
So, their father brought him back one of those Pixy sticks and when the little boy poured
it into his mouth, he said that it tasted awful.
The little boy immediately began to vomit and go into convulsions.
When the ambulance arrived, they saw him foaming at the mouth and he died less than an hour
later.
An autopsy revealed that the little boy died from cyanide poisoning and when police did
their investigations, they realized that the father was the one who put the cyanide in
the pixy sticks and he had intentions of poisoning other kids and murdering his daughter as well.
He was dubbed as the Candyman and he was found guilty of capital murder and four counts of
attempted murder.
So, I guess the urban legend about poisoned Halloween candy isn’t just a legend after
all…
The inspired Candyman murder makes it onto our list in at number 1.
Alright, so we know that in order to summon the Candyman, we have to chant his name five
times while looking in a mirror, right?
Well for one woman, she got a lot more than she bargained for when she was looking into
her bathroom mirror.
A very paranoid woman called 911 to report that someone was coming through the medicine
cabinet of her apartment armed with a gun.
No, she wasn’t hallucinating and she wasn’t even trying to summon the candy man, so this
actually happened in real life.
Ruthie Mae McCoy was absolutely terrified when a man entered her apartment through her
medicine cabinet.
He shot her four times where she later died because of her injuries.
The 911 operator initially thought that she might have been hallucinating but she definitely
wasn’t.
