This is the hill atop Owls Head Park – aka Bliss Park. It’s a natural hill that’s part of the glacial ridge left behind from the last ice age.
It is also the scene of the fiery death that a homeless man met late in December of 2008.
It was a cold and windy night atop the hill, and he was apparently trying to keep warm by way of numerous candles lit up around him when the wind caught a flame and ignited the man himself.
No word on how the wind didn’t just blow the candles out like it would have on just about any other day…
