Strange Country Ep. 271: Candyman

from Strange Country · host Strange Country

Hey DashHounds, if you were listening last episode, we mentioned the true story of Candyman. This may be the very first time Beth and Kelly said "we should look into that" and actually did! Find out how haunting life was in Chicago in the 1980s if you lived in Cabrini Green housing. It is scary to think how people lived and even scarier to hear about how they died. Thanks always for your support and listening; it is an act of love. Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands Cite your sources: Bogira, Steve. "They Came in Through the Bathroom Mirror."
