What is the myth of candy man?

Answer 1

The story went that a freed-slave turned artist had an affair with a white man's daughter. He had his hand chopped off, dipped in honey, and then he was stung to death by bees. That's messed up enough as it is. Well, apparently if you stood in front of a mirror and said "Candyman" a couple of times he would appear behind you and kill you with his hook hand.
