Great Fires of 1871 - Peshtigo, Wisconsin & Michigan Part3

The Great Deception Podcast

Welcome back for episode 56 of The Great Deception Podcast where we look at part 3 of the Great Fires of 1871; specifically Peshtigo, Wisconsin & Michigan. We take a look at a map of a cyclonic storm that occurred on the day of the fire encompassing 75% of the US. We will look at more first hand accounts of the harrowing details of the fires of 1871 in Peshtigo, Marinette, Manistee, and other towns. Then we dive into Reverend Peter Pernin’s account of the events of that day including description of fire balloons falling from the sky. Stone buildings were reduced to calcinated ash. One large house was observed to burst into flame and rise 85 feet in the air on its own updraft. What could cause such devastating effects? We’ll take a look at some alternate theories like: Was it the result of Biela's comet? Was it a firestorm weapon? Was Greek Fire used? Was there an electric phenomena?
