Candlestick Man

The Candlestick Man is one of the primary malevolent forces in TalesFromTheSpidersWeb.

He is presumably the driving force behind the events of the series, first being seen by Madison White, and later the rest of the characters in TalesFromTheSpidersWeb. What he is and what he wants is one of the bigger mysteries to the protagonists. He is referred to as "the tall fucker", or "the faceless fucker" by David.

Summary
At first, The Candlestick Man is rarely seen in the beginning of the series, although, during the times hes visible, David will react to himself and acts like he doesn't see him. He likely thinks its a hallucination. According to his description in, The Devil Is In The Details, he can't see the distortion in his videos.

Jesse is seen later talking about how he disappeared before he could hit him, right before he appears once again behind him, in his closet. Jesse puts in the description that he called the police and they couldn't find anyone.

Why I Was In The Hospital - David reluctantly answers his door and the Candlestick Man is seen standing outside.
