It is the night of 19th November , 1995. The sky over the small market town of Wem in Shropshire is glowing a violent orange. The historic Town Hall is burning to the ground. But amidst the roaring flames and falling timbers, a local photographer captures something that shouldn't exist. Developing his film, he finds a clear, black-and-white image of a young girl, standing calmly in the heart of the inferno, staring directly at him. But was this a visitor from the grave, or a trick that fooled the experts for fifteen years?
