I heard a story like this where a crackhead was living in the walls of a hotel. The mirror covered up the hole. She'd steal from guests when no one was in the room. Her smoking addiction gave her away

There's footage on youtube of a woman climbing down from an attic to steal shit from a guy's fridge every night after he'd gone to sleep. She'd creep down real silent like, frail as hell, and just drink his shit. Then snake her way back up the countertops and into the ceiling. Dude was wondering why his stuff kept moving or depleting faster than usual and set up a cam in the kitchen.

It wasn't scary to watch, kind of funny actually, but just the idea of someone hiding in your house is unsettling as fuck.

I remember seeing that. At one point he actually came into the kitchen while she was there and he didn't see her I think she was standing in a closet or something

Think Mr Ballen might’ve done a video on this. I’ve definitely seen the footage on YouTube anyway.

I think a variation of this story was how the original movie Candyman came out — cept instead of a hotel it was the projects in Chicago

Nah. It was quite literally because he was unjustly murdered by police and he typically gave kids candy. There is a scene where he comes out from behind a wall in the projects, but he wasn’t living within the walls.

No, in real life Cabrini green the apartment walls in the bathrooms were not sealed/secure and a woman was murdered when her assailant came in through the mirror hole in her bathroom. It was part of the inspiration for candy man coming out of the mirror.

What they described was a real incident. I remember I read about it a while ago in an article complete with pictures and everything.
