But before the hook-handed ghost ever terrified you in your nightmares, there was a real woman in Chicago whose screams went unanswered.  In 1987, 52-year-old Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911, terrified that someone was breaking into her apartment through her bathroom mirror. Hours later, Ruthie Mae was dead. What followed was a horrifying chain of neglect, systemic failure, and indifference that would later inspire one of horror’s most iconic stories.  This episode uncovers the real tragedy that birthed the Candyman myth, which was Ruthie Mae’s fight for safety inside Chicago’s most dangerous public housing project, the police who didn’t listen, and the killers who slipped through the walls like ghosts.  Before there was Candyman, there was Ruthie Mae McCoy....and her story is far more terrifying than fiction.

• EP150: McKamey Manor: Fear Fetish

  Please consider supporting the show on Patreon! (www.Patreon.com/PsychopediaPod) Join to get AD FREE episodes, merch discounts, exclusive content, behind-the-scenes, private group chats, and much more!  TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sexual abuse, physical violence, and torture.  Listener discretion is advised.   Welcome to McKamey Manor, the so-called “haunted house” turned torture chamber that doesn’t believe in safe words.  This isn’t your average Halloween attraction with rubber masks and jump scares. McKamey Manor is a real-life psychological nightmare, an "extreme haunt" where participants are bound, gagged, waterboarded, shaved, abused, assaulted, and buried alive, all for the false promise of a $20,000 prize. Founded by Russ McKamey, a sadistic showman with a camera and a God complex, the Manor isn’t about fear for fun; it’s about control, humiliation, and pain. What masquerades as thrill-seeking quickly devolves into torture porn, all under the guise of consent.  In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most disturbing “entertainment experiences” ever created, the cult-like following that has amassed, the twisted mind behind it, and the shattered participants left in its wake.

Patreon: www.patreon.com/psychopediapod Instagram + TikTok: @investigatorslater @psychopediapod In the late 1500s in the village of Bedburg, Germany, children, women, and in many cases pregnant mothers and their unborn babies were found slaughtered and partially eaten, leaving a trail of terror across the autumn-stained countryside.  Rumors claimed that a farmer named Peter Stumpp had transformed into a bloodthirsty werewolf who prowled the woods with his inhuman strength, leaving villagers in fear for their lives for decades. In December 1589, Peter was finally captured, tortured, and forced to confess to horrific crimes that blended the supernatural with the utterly grotesque. In this episode, we explore lycanthropy, Peter's chilling confessions, his barbaric trial, and the eerie folklore that has haunted this small German village for centuries.  Aaaaaaooooo!!! 🐺 To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
