Within The Mist

Macomb Firestarter


Listen Later

In the summer of 1948, a peaceful farm outside Macomb, Illinois, became the site of one of the strangest fire outbreaks in history. Hundreds of blazes erupted out of nowhere, scorching walls, igniting furniture, and consuming entire buildings—all without any identifiable cause. At the center of the mystery stood 13-year-old Wanet McNeil, a girl accused of arson despite reports that the fires ignited when she wasn’t even in the room.


Was this a case of pyrokinetic activity, an extreme emotional outburst manifesting in the physical world, or something even more sinister? Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they explore Within the Mist of Illinois for the truth of the eerie events of the Willey farm, the desperate search for answers, and the lingering doubts that leave this case unsolved to this day. Tune in and decide for yourself—was Wanet truly to blame, or did something paranormal stalk the farm that summer?
