My best friends, Amanda, was living in a small apartment in Galveston, TX. She had recently bought a house, with her mother, Tanny Kay (TK) and was getting ready to move in. I was staying the weekend with her, like I usually did, and helped with the packing.
It was a Friday night, Amanda, TK and I were grabbing boxes and packing what we could. I had a box and was collecting all the candles in the place. There were about 7 to 10 candles all together. Some blue, some red and white. I put them all in one box along with a few other things and taped the box up.
The next morning when I woke up I noticed TK had left for work. I knew it would be a while before Amanda woke up so I decided to fix myself breakfast and watch tv.
I went to the kitchen and made a small meal for myself, toast and cereal. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at that time. So, I cleaned up my mess and went to watch tv.
After a couple of hours Amanda finally woke up and we decided we would watch a movie together, which was our usual routine.
She searched through On Demand calling out title after title. We had seen 75% of the movies. It came down to House of Wax and another movie. I was in the mood for scary and we both wanted to see Paris Hilton get killed. As a bonus it also starred Jared Padalecki and Chad Michael Murray.
We sat down in the living room and started the film. It had an okay story line and had a few key creepy moments. Half way into the movie we both mentioned how hungry we were. So Amanda paused the movie and I went into the kitchen to make lunch for us both.
We decided on sandwiches and chips. I began grabbing the bread, meat and cheese from the refrigerator, etc. I was slicing on the cutting board, which I had previously used for breakfast, when I noticed a small dot of purple wax. I thought, how strange is that. Then I began to think, I don't remember there being any purple candles in the house, seeing that I packed every one the night before. As I was scratching at the drop I noticed another drop and then another. I was about 5 drops in before I started freaking out. I calmly called Amanda's name and said, "I don't want to scare you but, there is wax all over this cutting board." She, of course, thought I was teasing her and didn't believe me. I had to tell her a few times I was joking and that I was starting to freak out. So she got up and came into the kitchen to see if I was lying. She started scratching away at the wax as I was mentioning the fact that she didn't have any candles that color. While she was examining the situation I started looking around the kitchen. I was petrified when I saw wax all over the kitchen floor. Slash marks and drops everywhere. Amanda was starting to get scared at this point. While she was looking at all the markings on the floor that's when I noticed the refrigerator had long slashes of the purple wax on the door! I started screaming, "It's on the refrigerator too!" We both flipped out and ran to the living room. We didn't know what to think or do. All the candles had been packed, there were no candles that color and I had been in the kitchen earlier that morning and there were no wax droppings or slash marks of any kind. It still puzzles us to this day. We have no answers on how it could have happened.
Needless to say, we didn't finish the movie and refuse to watch it.
