The Paranormal CURSE That Caused the Great Fire of LONDON

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ The great fire of London, started on Pudding Lane in 1666 is known as one of the greatest tragedies in British history. But if it is known as an unavoidable accident, why was it predicted years earlier, and even drawn and depicted beforehand by soothsayers? That’s because there is a compelling argument that says the great fire was no ordinary fire, it was the result of a paranormal curse on the city of London. From biblical plagues to raining blood, to the number of the beast 666 in the date itself, something odd was going on. But what caused these paranormal events? Time for Rory and Kit to find out.
