Voodoo sex ritual leads to fatal fire
You know the sex is hot when it starts a fatal fire.
It’s even hotter, as a news item, when the fire is caused by a voodoo sex ritual.
The New York Post, which digs this sort of thing up regularly, said a woman visited the apartment building and paid a man $300 to perform a voodoo ceremony to bring her good luck. After the ceremony they decided to have sex.
The fire was sparked after the couple knocked over the candles that were arranged on the floor around the bed, igniting the bed linens and clothes on the floor, the Post article said.
Mary Feagin, 62, who was not participating in the ritual, died in the fire.
“Hopefully others will learn from this tragedy,” said NYC Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano.

Ok dawghuff, we get that you don’t believe in hell….but who really cares?? Why get upset at what someone else believes in. It’s not affecting you. I don’t get that.

I believe it says the 62 year old woman was NOT participating in the ceremony! So obviously she wasn’t the client, but a victim!

And after reading the real article, I see that Ms. Feagin was not involved. RIP. A victim of unnecessary circumstances

Voodoo, eh? The name of this victim is remarkably similar to the victim of the famous century-old murder at the Atlanta Pencil Factory. Thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan was murdered and her Jewish boss, Leo Frank, was lynched by some of the solid citizens of Marietta despite the fact he probably didn’t kill the girl.

Read the story people. The 62 yr old woman was not involved in the voodoo. She was an innocent bystander in another apartment. She lost her life because of the two fools who did a sexual ritual.

Can you guys read “Mary Feagin, 62, who was not participating in the ritual, died in the fire”. She was a victim of the couples sex act. Reading comprehension is not a strength of the people who assumed she was having sex. Reading is fundamental. Georgia is full of idiots with the “Fire-Ready-Aim” mentality.

If the 62-year old was an “innocent bystander,” doesn’t that imply that she was observing the sex act/voodoo and, in fact, a participant after all??? Some people enjoy watching others get it on. She was a geriatric (sp.?) freak-a-zoid!!!!!!
