Located in Old Town San Diego, California and was crowned the "Finest Home in Southern California '' at its completion in 1857, now it is reported to be the "Most Haunted Home in America ''.

Built by Thomas Whaley to be the gathering place for the community. Besides the Whaley family home, it was also San Diego’s first commercial theater, the second county courthouse, and a bilingual general store.

The property was infamous amongst the community as the site where horse thief Yankee Jim Robinson was publicly executed, and now haunts the house. Jim was too tall for the gallows constructed, and instead of a quick hanging, he suffocated slowly.

The house is haunted by many members of the Whaley family; baby Thomas Jr who died at 18 months due to scarlet fever, Violet Whaley shot herself in the chest at 22, Anna, Francis, George, and Corinne Lillian Whaley who all died in the house.

All candles are made with 100% domestically-grown soy wax, fragrance oils, and organic cotton-core wicks. The fragrances we use are paraben-free, phthalate-free, and are never tested on animals.

Following Candle Care helps to ensure product quality + longevity. We highly recommend following each of the following steps:

Trim your candle's wick to 1/4" before each lighting or once your candle has cooled.

Never attempt to trim a burning candle.

Discard the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.

The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.

Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.

Safety first - because candles contain a small flame, we encourage following these rules:

Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.

Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.

Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.

Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.
