A little over a month ago, I shared a journal entry about a visit from two lost souls—a couple who appeared in my living room one restless night when I couldn’t sleep. The man was initially hesitant, but they eventually shared their tragic story. They described how they once lived peacefully on a ranch east of Austin, Texas, only for their lives to spiral into chaos when the woman began hearing tormenting voices from Candle Face after losing faith in her. These voices were relentless, pushing her to the brink, until her husband, in a desperate attempt to end her suffering, took her life with a gunshot. Their story took an even darker turn when the husband himself was shot by their son, who acted out of anger and misunderstanding, convinced that his father was abandoning him. The couple’s remains were buried together, their story lost to time, as Candle Face held them in her cruel grip, ensuring that their torment continued.
Unlike many previous visits, this couple’s story didn’t feel like a simple recounting of their suffering—it carried specific details that felt like clues. Candle Face’s influence was clear, yet something about their account suggested there was enough information to potentially identify them. I felt compelled to dig deeper, hoping to see if historical records could corroborate their story.
With that in mind, I turned to research. The couple had mentioned a ranch east of Austin, the man’s Mexican heritage, and a violent end involving a firearm. To start, I used Google and tried search terms like “elderly couple disappearance Texas ranch,” “missing couple gunshot ranch Austin,” and “Texas couple killed.” At first, my search results led to dead ends, filled with unrelated cases, but then something caught my eye. An article described an unsolved case from 1976 about an elderly couple who vanished from their ranch under circumstances strikingly similar to what the lost souls had told me.
Comparing the Two Stories:
The Lost Souls:
During our encounter, the elderly man confessed that he ended his wife's life to free her from the torment Candle Face inflicted through cruel voices. He admitted to taking drastic measures to cover up the evidence of what he had done. He specifically mentioned that the bathroom door had a bullet hole in it, which he couldn't repair, so he took it off its hinges and hid it in the barn under a pile of hay. He also revealed how he was shot by their son, who believed, in a fit of rage, that his father was abandoning him. Their son then buried their bodies together in South Texas.
The Article:
The article detailed an unsolved case involving an elderly couple who disappeared from their rural ranch east of Austin in 1976. Investigators found signs of violence: a bullet hole in a window, bloodstains, and most notably, a missing bedroom door that was later discovered hidden in a barn on the property. Authorities speculated on various motives, from family conflict to outside involvement, but the couple’s bodies were never found, leaving the case unresolved.
Key Similarities:
Location & Background: Both the couple who visited me and the couple in the article lived on a ranch east of Austin. In both accounts, the husband had roots in Mexico.
Unusual Circumstances of Death: Both stories involve a missing door and evidence of gunshots. The man who visited me explicitly mentioned hiding a door with a bullet hole in the barn, while the article noted that investigators found a hidden door in the barn during their search.
Family Conflict: In both stories, the son played a tragic role, acting in anger.
Torment by Voices: The woman in both accounts seemed to be driven to her breaking point by cruel, incessant voices. These voices could well have been Candle Face’s way of breaking down her will, forcing her husband into a desperate act.
Key Differences:
Confession vs. Theories: The couple who visited me shared their story as a direct confession, filling in details that the investigators could only speculate on. The article, on the other hand, presented theories based on limited evidence, leaving the story unclear.
Direct Contact: The lost souls came to me directly, seemingly to set the record straight and share their side of the story. In contrast, the article is pieced together from fragmented details and speculation from the authorities, without the personal clarity I received during the encounter.
Despite the similarities, I must emphasize that I could be wrong. While the parallels between the lost souls’ story and the historical case are striking, it’s possible that I’m misinterpreting their messages or that Candle Face’s manipulations have distorted the details. For that reason, I can’t definitively say that the couple who visited me and the individuals in the article are one and the same.
Out of respect for any surviving family members who may still be searching for answers, I won’t reveal their names here. But you can do your own research. My goal is to honor the spirits who reach out to me and share their stories in a way that respects their pain, without causing further harm.
Whether these two stories are truly connected or not, what remains clear is that these souls are reaching out for closure. And as Candle Face continues to weave her web of torment, I'll continue to listen, to give them a voice, and to fight against the evil she spreads.
