RICHARD FREEMAN: THE MONSTERS OF PRAGUE (Part 5)

The Burning Man #2

This flaming entity is said to prowl Karlova Street. It is supposedly the ghost of a miser. In life he was a property owner and amassed lots of houses and money. A great fire broke out on Karlova Street but he would not leave the money he had stored on his premises and he feared his gold would melt. Trying to carry it in a sack on his back he died of a heart attack and his body was consumed by the flames.


He is said to manifest as a flaming figure whenever a large fire breaks out in the city. He will only cease his manifestations when someone helps him carry his bag of gold.
