Did Mimi Johnson really destroy Candy Cane's Music Career?

OK, this might sound like a creepypasta, but let me explain:

On Tuesday, August 1, 1995, a disabled girl named Mimi Johnson was kidnapped and murdered while she was on a family vacation. The news of Mimi's death spreads throughout her hometown of Bolindale, New Mexico, where many concerned families with disabled children decided to send their children away to cities in Oregon, Nevada, and California rather than allow them to be targeted and killed. The next year, a young woman named Pamela Jensen wrote the song "Mimi" in memory of Mimi Johnson. Pamela's band, The Psychic Symbols, later performed that song during a summer concert. The crowd's reaction to the song led to a 19-year-old man named Derrick Fischer to confess to killing the little girl. He was later beaten to death by a group of angry people.

But that's not all, as the Psychic Symbols discovered that the song "Mimi" was the cause of Derrick's false confession and senseless death, so they decided the song would never see the light of day. However, on Wednesday, April 24, 1996, the band's first album The Fallen Dreams was released in music stores, with "Mimi" being the most-played song on the radio. This upset Pamela and she ordered radio stations to stop playing the song. She also ordered Odin Entertainment to take "Mimi" off the soundtrack and replace it with another song.

Yet the DJs and the businessmen didn't listen to her which was when the tragedies began.

On Tuesday, July 23, 1996, 23-year-old Paul Kleeson of West Port, Florida was struck by a car and killed while he was walking his dog. The driver of the car that killed him was listening to "Mimi" on the radio.

On Friday, December 13, 1996, a family of three teenagers and two adults, looking to start a family rock band, were struck by lightning and killed after playing a song cover. What was the song in question? "Mimi" by The Psychic Symbols.

When The Psychic Symbols released a reissued version of The Fallen Dreams as well as their second album The Valley of Storms on Monday, October 6, 1997, 15 people were killed when a fight broke out due to the fact that the song "Mimi" had been replaced with a song called "Scryer". The band eventually got their wish and "Mimi" was removed from the radio.

By then, it was too late, as "Mimi" was responsible for many more deaths.

On Thursday, May 6, 1999, the popular punk-rock band The All-American Princesses were scheduled to performed the song "Mimi" at an end-of-the-year concert at Gothanburg Academy in Miami, Florida. Yet, a riot broke out and 37 students were killed. The band in question barely escaped with their lives and later sued the school for damages.

On Monday, October 16, 2000 , popular karaoke singer Jackie Stanley (given name Matthew Knox) was beaten to death after performing "Mimi"; this prompted many bars and clubs in the United States to ban the song.

On Tuesday, March 26, 2002, 16-year-old Laura Mercer was killed in the infamous Lochland High School shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. (57 people were killed in the shooting.) She was listening to the song "Mimi" the night before her death; the tape containing the song was found in her bookbag.

At this point, Pamela found herself regretting that she had written "Mimi" in the first place. She felt as if little Mimi Johnson was tormenting her from beyond the grave. A trip to a local psychic revealed that in order for her to save her dying band and bring peace to Mimi, Pamela would have to find a way to destroy the song. Despite the anger at the deaths of many people and calls for "Mimi" to be taken off the air, the song continued to be popular. Not even The Psychic Symbols' third and fourth albums The Radical Tedium and Salvation of Night was able to shake off the public's obsession with "Mimi". Pamela wondered if she was forever doomed to be a 1-song wonder, in which the song killed anyone who listened to it.

But a miracle happened on Monday, August 22, 2005.

Famous pop singer/actress Candice Canelva Brenner, better known as Candy Cane, came to Bolindale, New Mexico to participate in a charity concert to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Yet many people were convinced that Candy Cane was actually Mimi Johnson and began singing the lyrics to "Mimi" whenever they saw her. Yet Candy Cane created the song "Notorious", which expresses her displeasure with being referred to a murdered child. She also sang the song "Mimi" at the concert, yet changed most of the lyrics to scold a town obsessed with the memory of a dead child and rejecting their own disabled children rather than raise them.

And the rest, they say, was history.

The song "Mimi" was eventually taken off many music websites and the radio; it had already been banned from clubs and karaoke bars. It was also removed from The Psychic Symbols' discography and deleted from Pamela's LiveJournal blog and MySpace page.

So, did Mimi Johnson destroy Candy Cane's music career? Before we can answer that question, there was an unexpected outcome to this story. The band responsible for "Mimi" was later killed in a bus accident on Tuesday, August 1, 2006, 10 years to the day Pamela Jensen had wrote the song "Mimi". She was 27 years old.

As for Candy Cane, she announced in 2011 that she was taking a permanent hiatus from her acting and singing career. She was 27 years old. Did Mimi kill Candy Cane? The answer to that question is still unknown.
