How do I begin this story? I needed a new phone after mine fell into a toilet 2 months ago.  I wasn’t ready for an upgrade and to replace the phone through insurance would have cost the same as buying a new one. I had no choice but to wait to upgrade. So last week I went to T-Mobile to get a new one and I also upgraded my plan to unlimited minutes. Yay for me! I got an HTC Sensation and so far I just love it! It feels like I am carrying around a mini computer rather than a phone. Somehow after unpacking the phone the earbuds got misplaced. I do not want to talk on the cell all day without earbuds because of the possibility of getting a brain tumor. So not wanting to spend more money than I already did last week I started going everywhere looking for my new lost earbuds. I tore my house up looking for them. After a week of searching and looking back again in places I already had searched, I finally saw them.

At the time I was on the phone with a good friend from Arkansas who has a negative entity attached to him. Several groups other than ours have investigated him as well and claim it is perhaps a demon. The thing has never introduced itself to me personally for me to agree with them. There are none of the hallmark features of the thing being a demon either. I am not going to commit to the thing being anything at the moment other than negative. In the absence of evidence how can there be a commitment one way or the other?  Even though I can’t commit I have a nickname for my friend….. demon guy. Why? Well for one it is easier to explain it as 2 words than for me to go through the whole story when asked “who are you on the phone with”.  I have a long story about that I will have to share with you one day but for now I want to get back to the earbuds.

Like I said I, was on the phone with my friend and saw something resembling what might be my earbuds across the room. I walked over for a closer look and yep it was what I had been searching for all week, my earbuds. They were in the strangest place. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! How could it be? There is no way my earbuds could be where they were.

Guess where I found them?

Inside of a candle!

Yes, I said inside a candle

Inside the wax!

How is that possible? I stopped mid sentence and told demon guy all about my earbuds. I took pictures to prove what I was seeing was real. As an investigator I want photographic proof if I can get it. I send my friend a picture and I stayed on the phone while trying to dig out the wires. The wax was soft enough that I did not have to melt the wax. We were chatting about how they could end up inside a candle. I was able to finally dig them out. I took pictures of the earbuds now that they were out of the wax as well the mangled candle. I put the candle back on the ledge where I had found it and began the process of cleaning up my earbuds. I was getting wax everywhere so I had to get off the phone. I even had to clean myself up from working with the soft lavender scented wax.

First let me say that the candle is on a window ledge above my bathtub. It is a southeast facing window that is in the shade most of the day. I have a whole collection of candles there and none of them have melted. Later in the day I noticed that the wax had leveled itself out even though it is in the air conditioning and shade. I remembered when I was digging out my earbuds that the wick was not where it should have been. I started research on the candle to see if I could find any issues with wicks disappearing. I noticed that the candle maker had changed from soft wicks to wood. I thought perhaps the wax was soft enough that just something laying there would slowly sink. I also wanted to watch the candle more closely the next day to see what changes if any occur throughout the day.

My husband comes home and I tell him the story. We are both going to watch the candle

The next day I monitored the candle to see if any melting took place. Even though the candle is in shade most of the day there is a very small time frame when it does melt and then it’s quick to solidify. Aha! One of the puzzle pieces solved. So how did my earbuds get on to the top of the candle? I understand how they went into the candle but not onto the candle. They smell like lavender. I left them inside my husbands car when we went out to eat that night. They made the whole car smell like lavender by the time we got back outside.

Hey phone companies are you paying attention??? Make scented earbuds!!!
