According to widespread belief across multiple spiritual traditions, a candle that repeatedly extinguishes despite normal burning conditions—particularly during prayer services, funerals, or commemorative rituals—indicates supernatural presence in the immediate vicinity. This flame behavior supposedly reveals spiritual entities interacting with or attempting to communicate through the physical environment. Some traditions specify different interpretations based on flame behavior: steady flickering might indicate benevolent presence; sudden extinguishing suggests resistance or negative energy; while momentary brightening before extinction often represents specific messages from the deceased. The phenomenon gains significance when multiple candles exhibit similar behavior or when it coincides with the anniversary of a death.
