My return to Texas initiated an investigation into the origins of Candle Face, an 11-year-old ghost girl from The Empty Lot Next Door. Her haunting presence became a regular occurrence in my childhood dreams and waking hours, marked by her disfigured, melted appearance.
Although I wasn't her only victim, accounts of terror stemming from Candle Face haunted Austin locals for years. Years ago, their correspondences to me were destined for research and were sidelined—until now.
Back in Texas, my investigative journey commenced, though fraught with dark mysteries. Two of the three original witnesses I reconnected with have vanished without a trace, refusing to return my calls or emails. One withdrew in fear after a threatening dream warning from Candle Face herself. Despite his prior boldness towards talking to me, her menacing presence was enough to silence him.
Now, their stories hang in a suspended, unnerving silence. Should they resurface, a desperate dash to Austin awaits to capture and share their stories with my readers.
In the meantime, my research languishes in a haunted pause as I scour for new leads and tiptoe further into Candle Face's origins.
