They Came in Through the Bathroom Mirror

In 1987, Ruthie Mae McCoy, a resident of Chicago's housing projects, made a desperate 911 call claiming someone was breaking into her apartment through the bathroom mirror.

The call was real. The break-in was real. And the horror that followed exposed the terrifying flaws in public housing design and urban neglect.

Based on real events that inspired urban legends like Candyman, this slice of dark history is so much more than a spooky story. Adapted from They Came In Through the Bathroom Mirror: A Murder in the Projects by Steve Bogira, published by Chicago Reader in 1987.
