Candle Face Chronicles is an ongoing investigation into a figure I first encountered as a child in Austin, Texas. What began as a personal haunting eventually grew into a larger effort to document the victims connected to Candle Face and investigate her origins, motives, and methods.

According to the research behind Candle Face Chronicles, the entity known as Candle Face may actually be Isabel, a forgotten child connected to the legend of La Llorona. The evidence surrounding this identity is still being examined and debated.

The Lost Souls are individuals believed to have been killed by Candle Face or her followers. Their stories form the foundation of the Candle Face Chronicles investigation as I work to discover what happened to them.

The Fugitives are thirty-one souls who escaped from Candle Face’s lair. Their identities and stories are preserved in scrolls. These scrolls are sent to Guardians to protect them from the Master Shadow while the investigation continues.

Whether these pieces of evidence point to a supernatural entity or something else remains part of the ongoing investigation.

I'm a Candle Face survivor first and foremost. What happened to me as a child is what started this work.

I also bring more than 30 years of experience as an intelligence analyst and investigator, including work involving missing persons and human trafficking cases. That background taught me how to gather facts, study patterns, document evidence, and keep working when answers are hard to find.

I have also been writing fiction and nonfiction for decades, including analytical assessments.

For me, those three parts fit together. I lived through the original events. I have spent decades doing investigative work. I know how to document what I find. That is why I believe the Lost Souls chose me to help tell their stories.

The goal of Candle Face Chronicles is to discover the truth behind the events that began in the empty lot next door and the victims believed to be connected to Candle Face.

The name comes from the burned appearance of the girl I saw in my childhood dreams. Her face looked as if it had been melted by fire, like wax from a candle. As a five-year-old child, the name simply became the only way I could describe her.

Because silence never solved any part of this. As a child, I kept quiet, and that only made things worse. I'm not going to make that same mistake twice.

What began as a private childhood experience grew into a larger pattern involving victims, rumors, and questions I couldn't ignore. Sharing these stories gives readers a chance to examine the record for themselves, follow the investigation, and decide what they believe.
