A childhood belief about ghosts

I have heard so many versions of this story. But the one that I remeber most is probably the one I was told in 3rd grade. One of my newer friends had told us that bloody mary was a bride when she had died and that she was married to a guy named "candy man" I have no clue where they got this idea at ALL. Well that story when that he killed her and becuase of the blood on her dress she was givin the name "Bloody Mary". Also that "Candy Man" would appear out of the mirror and kill you if you brought candy into the bath room with you. I didn't bring sweets near the bathroom mirror for quite a while.
