Candle Shoppe of the Pocono's

We went to see this candle shop.  It is supposed to also be haunted!  This entrance is just for the "museum" basement section with the main entrance on an upper level around to the right.  They wanted $13 per person to see a laboratory and an "actual monkey cage".  We didn't go.  But we did see the candles.  They advertised a 31' (yes) carved candle that I had to see.  I've seen big candles before but not bigger than 3-4'.

 Dr. William Redwood Fisher built the home for his family in 1897.  The home was built over a cemetery.  He was trying to find a cure for Small Pox and Yellow Fever.  He performed many valuable experiments, using animals for testing, particularly spider monkeys in the very early 1900's.  It is said the" basement is full of restless spirits of monkeys".
 The candles occupied every room of the entire house.  Lots of colors, smells, shapes, styles and sizes that you can imagine.  Every room I kept looking for the carved candle.  Since I didn't see it I was going to ask someone where it was before we left.  Maybe in the haunted basement?  I forgot to ask by the time we left.
 I had to have my picture taken on this giant chair that's located at the front of the candle shop.
Driving by a few days later I found the so-called 30 foot carved candle in the front of main entrance to the Candle Shoppe of the Pocono's.  Can you see it?  Now, also check just to the upper right of the castle picture above.
