Welcome to a spine-chilling journey through the haunted streets of Flint, where our tale tonight revolves around a legend so eerie it may just make your skin crawl. Gather close, if you dare, as we unravel the story of Captain Bubblegum—the mythical villain who once haunted the Northside of our city.

Our story begins in the darkened woods of Forest Park, now known as Max Brandon Park, where the legend of Captain Bubblegum first took shape. Picture this: the 1980s and 1990s, a time when Flint’s Northside was being stalked by a figure unlike any other. This wasn’t your average villain; no, this was a man draped in a superhero cape, riding a moped, and terrorizing children with a bizarre and unsettling presence.

The legend tells of a man clad in a costume adorned with bubblegum wrappers, leaving a sticky trail of fear in his wake. Some accounts claim he carried a bunch of keys, boasting that he had the key to every house and could come in anytime he pleased. His twisted antics were no mere playground gossip—people were genuinely frightened.

One vivid account comes from the early 1980s, shared by the blogger Würstside Warlørd. According to their story, children arriving at Walker School were terrified by this man in a superhero outfit. The bus riders from the northwest side spoke of being chased and frightened by this figure. Even though he never physically caught anyone, the fear he instilled was all too real.

MadeMommy, another eyewitness, recalls her traumatic experiences with Captain Bubblegum during the late 1980s and early 1990s. She and her sister were stalked by this eerie figure who not only chased them but left a lasting impact with his bubblegum-adorned jumpsuit. She describes how he followed them from Wisner and Pierson to the Civic Park neighborhood, striking terror into their young hearts.

Despite numerous reports, Captain Bubblegum’s identity remains a mystery. Why did he target children? What drove him to such horrific behavior? These questions linger, unanswered, as years have passed with no sightings of the infamous villain.

In 2014, the legend of Captain Bubblegum was given new life in a horror film created by Flint twins Dameicko and Tameicko Smith. Their film, aptly titled *Captain Bubblegum*, brings the urban legend to the screen and can still be found on YouTube for those brave enough to watch.

So, as we conclude our tour tonight, remember that some legends are more than mere stories—they are shadows of the past that continue to haunt the present. As you leave, keep an eye out for the lingering echoes of Captain Bubblegum, a reminder that sometimes, the true horrors are not the ghosts of yesterday, but the very real fears that we carry with us.

And remember, in Flint’s haunted history, some tales are best left undisturbed.
