The Candy Lady – Terrell, TX

The Candy Lady will leave candy on the edge of children's windowsills in attempts to lure them out of their warm beds. Once the bait is successfully taken, she kidnaps them back into the woods where she pulls out their teeth and stabs them in the eyes. The legend was derived from the true story of Clara Crane, who murdered her husband by poisoning his candy. She was sent to a mental institution as she wasn't fit enough for prison.
