Candle Face told me my crystal ball is a window she looks through, and four nights later it's still eating at me. Because it explains too much, like the times a Lost Soul showed up at the exact moment I was making a decision. I've moved the ball to the back of my office, but I don't think that's enough. Do I destroy it, cleanse it, or keep using the one tool that actually works? And either way, why do I still feel watched every time I sit down in there?

It’s been gnawing at me since she said it. Four nights ago, Candle Face called my crystal ball a window and told me she looks through it too. At first I took it for another scare tactic. But thinking it through, it explains more than I’d like to admit. Too many times, a Lost Soul has appeared just as I’ve been making a critical decision, as though Candle Face knew exactly what I was thinking and sent them at just the right moment.


For example, back in December 2023, a paranormal investigative team contacted me, saying they wanted to help me with Candle Face. I was excited. Finally, a team that showed bravery instead of the cowardice I had grown used to. We spoke for about an hour over a video chat, where I explained Candle Face’s lore and described some of the visions I’d been having. But as the conversation went on, it became clear they treated the work like a comedy routine, poking fun at the very things they claimed to want to help with. A few days later, after thinking it over, I turned down their help. The Lost Souls want answers, not a late-night comedy show.


Just a few hours after that video chat ended, the eighth Lost Soul visited me, a woman who had been a paranormal investigator herself. She warned me not to allow any kind of mockery in my investigations, especially with the paranormal team I had just spoken to. She told me Candle Face doesn’t like being mocked. Could she have been watching the video chat through the crystal ball? Or was it Candle Face, monitoring everything and sending the Lost Soul to deliver the warning?


I’ve been wondering whether I should keep using the crystal ball at all, and after that night, I moved it to the back of my home office. But if it’s become a link for Candle Face to infiltrate my home, do I really want it in the house? Maybe I should move it again, out of sight, out of mind. But what if that’s not enough? What if Candle Face can still use it, no matter where I put it?


Another thought keeps crossing my mind. Should I destroy it? Smashing it could sever that connection once and for all. Or it could anger her, or leave me exposed without the one tool that’s helped me see into their pasts. What if the ball is also a protective layer between me and whatever else is out there?


Maybe the answer is to cleanse it instead, to purge her hold on it. A ritual might do it, or advice from a spiritual leader.


I don’t know the answer yet, but I need to decide soon. Each time I sit down in my office, I feel watched. The question is, watched by whom?
