Candle Face Chronicles: The Lost Souls

Candle Face Chronicles: The Lost Souls

Welcome to Candle Face Chronicles: The Lost Souls, a true paranormal investigation told through two interactive books, and real-life cases.

What begins as a collection of ghost stories quickly reveals itself to be something far more urgent, a call for help from real spirits, victims of one of the most dangerous entities ever encountered, Candle Face.

This series isn't fictional horror. These are documented cases, backed by my thirty-plus years in intelligence analysis, missing persons investigations, and human trafficking cases. I, Arthur Mills, barely survived my own encounter with Candle Face in the mid-1980s.

Now I need your help.

Your Role in the Investigation

You're not just a reader. You're part of the investigation.

These books weren't written for entertainment. They were created to enlist your help in solving real cases. Each testimony from a lost soul is filled with clues: names, places, dates, and cryptic details that may lead to answers.

There are three areas where your involvement is needed:

Locating the Lost Souls’ Remains
Every victim was killed, but most of their physical remains have never been recovered. Their stories may contain overlooked clues about where they were taken or left behind. Your attention to detail could be the key to bringing them home.

Identifying Their Killers
Some spirits reveal that Candle Face manipulated her followers into carrying out the murders. Their testimonies offer scattered details, possibly enough to form a clearer picture of who was involved.

Protecting the Fugitives
Toward the end of Book Two, a new group is introduced. These are the Fugitives: 31 souls who escaped Candle Face’s lair but remain in danger. Candle Face’s Master Shadow is searching for them, trying to pull them back. To keep them safe, each has been entrusted to members of the paranormal community and a select group of avid readers. Their energy has been kept separate, scattered across the county, making it nearly impossible for the Master Shadow to locate them. This protection will hold until a more permanent solution is found to free them for good. Your awareness and interpretation of their stories may help keep them safe.

Meet the Lost Souls

The Lost Souls are more than victims. Each one has a name, a story, and a reason to come forward—even after death.

They visit me at night. Some show up clearly, others appear in pieces. They're not just sharing what happened to them, they're trusting us to pay attention. Many of them didn't believe in Candle Face while they were alive. That disbelief cost them everything.

Their testimonies are real. Their pain is real. And the details they offer might help us figure out what really happened to them.

Below are just a few of the souls who have come forward. Some have given names. Others haven't. But every one of them matters, and every one has something to say.

They Want You to Know

Here are a few of the lost souls. Each one carries pieces of what happened—details, emotions, and warnings. Some provided names. Others didn’t. But all of them are asking to be heard. Take your time. Read closely. What they share may help bring peace, and maybe, if we’re lucky, justice too.

This young girl’s story centers around her mother and grandmother—the only people who made her feel safe. Candle Face ripped her away from them. Her final memories are filled with love, confusion, and a desperate cry for protection. She speaks often of her “Mama,” and her words suggest Candle Face's rage may be rooted in her own connection to family. A dedicated reader may have discovered the girl’s identity, proving that the interactive investigation works—and that real lives are still asking to be heard.

Clues Point to Her Identity

A woman in her thirties appeared at the foot of my bed, a man’s tie knotted tightly around her neck. Her story began with a crumbling marriage and a secret relationship, but it ended with betrayal. Her boyfriend had become loyal to Candle Face. As shadows filled the room, he leaned in and whispered, "She requires devotion, and you don’t have it."

He appeared in a sharp suit, his steps echoing on my floor like clockwork. He had built his life around profit, deadlines, and ambition, never making time for anything that didn’t serve his image. One night, a man tried to hand him a flyer on a street corner—a warning, maybe, or a plea. He laughed and threw it away. Hours later, alone in his luxury apartment, the lights flickered. Candle Face appeared. She asked him one question: "Do you still disbelieve, businessman?"

Cayman appeared with a broken jaw and blood from her mouth. Her story is one of abuse, survival, and defiance. Her husband, obsessed with youth and control, killed her in a drunken rage. Candle Face claimed her early, punishing her in death for her disbelief. Her name came through broken teeth, but her message was clear: she was never supposed to die that night.

Later, I used remote viewing techniques to witness her murder through the eyes of her killer.

Witnessed Through the Killer’s Eyes

A spirit came to me with memories of handwritten letters, a pen pal from San Francisco, and a growing obsession with Candle Face. Her testimony ended with a violent blow to the head and being left near a creek bed. The details she shared closely mirror a real cold case from Central Texas. Whether she's connected to that case or another person who died under similar circumstances remains uncertain, but her visit shows how the lost souls may be pointing us toward real-world answers.

Clues Point to Her Identity

Dave was a metalhead with big dreams and a tight-knit group of friends. After meeting at a concert in 2000, they started planning a band. Their drummer wanted to embed subliminal messages into their music, using lyrics and reversed audio to serve Candle Face. Dave hesitated. That hesitation cost him his life. His body was never found, but his voice came through clearly: “Ray, my name is Dave, and I’m here to tell you my story.”

Crystal worked the streets of North Austin. Tough, self-reliant, and unafraid to fight back, she thought she had control—until one regular client turned possessive and violent. She bit his cheek and escaped, only to be lured back weeks later. That was the last time anyone saw her alive. Now she speaks from Candle Face’s lair, trapped in a cycle of torment. There’s something different about her story, a presence behind her killer’s actions—one that feels far from finished.

How You Can Help

Also Available on Amazon

You can purchase both books directly from my Shopify store or from Amazon—each option has its advantages. Buying here means you'll receive a personally signed copy and directly support me as an indie author, since Amazon takes a significant percentage of sales and doesn't offer signed copies. However, Amazon provides faster and sometimes free shipping, plus easy returns, whereas signed copies from my Shopify store are non-returnable. The choice is yours, and I appreciate your support either way!
