A woman was lying on the ground; her skin blistered and distorted with extensive burns that covered her head and upper body.

The flames kept going back again”…*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, editing assistance, additional writing, and production direction by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.Listen to our companion podcast ‘They Walk Among America' here: https://play.acast.com/s/they-walk-among-americaMore information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Beyond all Time by Moments.
