Thousands of hand-poured candles and trinkets fill the Candle Shoppe of the Poconos in Swiftwater. Stuffed monkeys are popular items, why you may ask? Because the shop is known for alleged paranormal animal activity. “We started to have paranormal experiences,” said Linda Schlier, owner, Candle Shoppe of the Poconos. “It went from there to calling some psychics in and some mediums, and got ahold of Animal Planet because we had animal activity here.” continued Schlier. Schlier opened the shop 18 years ago on Route 611 not knowing its haunted history.
