Abandoning Genesis: The Rise of Isabel

January 27, 2025


In October 2023, I started researching who or what Candle Face really is, who she was before she became Candle Face. I thought I was beginning an intellectual investigation, something grounded in history and folklore. But just days after I started, the dreams began. At first, it was only faint screams, distant and shapeless. Then, the voices took form. Soon, the lost souls came to me, their words filled with desperation. They claimed to be victims of Candle Face and her followers, pleading with me to find their bodies and name their killers.


For over a year, I focused on their voices. I did what I could to help them, to follow their guidance, to solve their cold cases. But now, the voices have gone silent.


This should bring me peace. Instead, I’m worried I didn’t help them, that I caused them more harm than good. But like I mentioned before, maybe it was never about helping them. Maybe it was about distracting the Master Shadow so some of the lost souls could escape.


So I guess my mission transitions into protecting the thirty-one fugitives who escaped. But that original question, the one I asked at the very beginning, still stands. Who is Candle Face?


With the lost souls gone, I have been going through Mr. Smoe’s old boxes. What I have found so far is disturbing. Names, locations, sketches, and notes scribbled in a handwriting that seems almost frantic. Some pages are covered in symbols I don’t recognize. Others list locations pinpointed on an old map of Austin. Some of this information I shouldn’t have. I may need to consult an attorney before I go any further.


But one thing is clear.


I think I know Candle Face’s true identity. No, I’m sure of it.


The name is right in front of me. It’s in the notes, over and over, written in Mr. Smoe’s own hand. But there's something else, something even more disturbing. He calls her Mother. And she calls her followers Children.


What does this mean? Is Isabel Mother to her followers and Candle Face to her victims, a name I coined back in the seventies?


And the most disturbing part. Is Isabel really the forgotten third child of La Llorona? This will require a lot of research, but a lot of what I have found in those boxes points to it.


I don’t have the full answer yet, but it’s enough to change everything.


Candle Face Chronicles has always had two parts. The Lost Souls and Genesis. The Lost Souls led me to the fugitives, to those who escaped Candle Face’s lair. But Genesis was always meant to be the deeper investigation, the search for what Candle Face truly is. Now, it’s clear that Genesis was never the right name. That phase of the investigation is no longer about a nameless entity. It’s about her.


I’m renaming it Isabel.


For those who have followed Candle Face Chronicles, this is a major shift in the investigation. The question is no longer what Candle Face is. It’s who Isabel was and how she became what she is now: Candle Face. I’ll update my website with the new name and the new focus soon.


I don’t know where this investigation will lead. But I know one thing. The lost souls may be gone, but Isabel is still here.


And she knows I’m looking for her.
