When I got back to Texas, I reopened the Candle Face witness file. Two of the three original witnesses had disappeared, and the third changed their mind after a frightening dream. The investigation hit a wall before it even began.

Main Subjects: Candle Face
- The Empty Lot Next Door
Returning to Texas pushed me to find out who Candle Face really is. She’s the 11-year-old ghost girl from The Empty Lot Next Door. Her melted face haunted my childhood in nightmares and in daylight.
But she didn’t stop with me. Over the years, other Austin residents shared their own frightening encounters. Many sent letters that I set aside for future research. Now I’ve gone back to that file.
Almost immediately, the investigation took a bad turn. Two of the three original witnesses I contacted have vanished. They stopped returning calls and emails. The third had once been eager to talk, but after a threatening dream about Candle Face, he backed out without warning. He described what she said to him and decided silence was the safer choice.
Their stories have gone quiet for now. If any of them decide to come forward again, I’ll go to Austin without hesitation to document and share what they know.
The investigation continues in the three most recent entries below. Each adds to the record on Candle Face (Isabel), the Lost Souls, and the Fugitives. You’ll find every entry to date in The Journal.
Arthur Mills
Arthur Mills served for more than two decades as an Army Intelligence Warrant Officer, specializing in piecing together what others missed: patterns, threats, enemy intent, and clandestine activity. He trained intelligence professionals, built threat models, and briefed commanders and world leaders on global threats and battlefield strategy. After retiring from the military, he moved into private investigation, focusing on missing persons, human trafficking, opposition research, and domestic terrorism. He holds a degree in Counter Terrorism Studies.
He has been writing books since 2006 and is an award-winning author. He publishes under his own name, though much of what he has written has appeared under pseudonyms. Readers may already know those titles without knowing they are his. The separation is intentional. His books invite readers to interpret what is hidden, and so does the way he publishes them.
