What Cries Out
We are a monthly Mother-Daughter True Crime Podcast. Each month we will focus on a case that cries out to us. What brings an individual to the precipice of darkness? Can we make sense of societies darkest edges? Sometimes we share generationally opposing views or push our own minds to that edge, but we do this to bring souls into remembrance all while bringing a social issue to light... This is What Cries Out.
What Cries Out
The Murder of Ruthie Mae McCoy and Menacing Mirrors
Welcome to our Halloween Bonus Episode! Candyman was the feared urban legend that would come to life. By saying his name five times, while looking in the mirror, you could summon him. But why would you want to? He is a most vengeful and diabolical spirit that will appear to you with a large hook in place of what was once his hand. What he does with that hook…. let’s just say it’s gruesome. This is obviously fiction, but with every fiction, there is a grain of truth. And sometimes, the truth is just as terrifying. What is little known, is that the movie Candyman was inspired by a real-life, tragic horror story. And what is it about mirrors???
