He asked. <br>Yes, I replied, like a family ghost. <br>I thanked him for his help, then left.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I decided to leave Miss Featherbone out <br>as the ghost fires had started long before <br>she came to the village. <br>I went along to see Mr Gains at Rose Cottage. <br>Gains was well into his seventies. <br>He viewed the Burning Bush as a nuisance. <br>He had come to the village for peace and quiet <br>and was most annoyed by what was happening. <br>I then went to see the Palfreys. <br>Unfortunately, they could not help me neither. <br>It was mid afternoon when I arrived at Beech Cottage. <br>I knocked the door and recognised Harwood <br>as soon as he answered. <br>He recognised me as well <br>and ushered me into the living room, <br>then made us both some tea.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">You know who I am Oliver, he said. <br>I nodded, yes, the creator of the ghost fires. <br>It was very clever illusion, James. <br>The use of holographic images of fire. <br>I would never have guessed <br>until I accidentally found this little box <br>wedged between some loose bark on the tree <br>where the tramp had slept. <br>I said placing it on the table. <br>It was only when I accidentally activated it <br>before going to bed last night <br>that I realised the truth. <br>You have fooled a lot of people, but why? <br>If the visitors left the village, <br>it would become, <br>as the Americans would say a Ghost town. <br>The village needed an attraction, <br>hence the Burning Bush. <br>I hope you will not say that it is all a hoax Oliver. <br>I smiled and said I wouldn’t <br>I would let it remain a mystery to all.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Therefore Mr Rogers <br>that is the story behind The Burning Bush, <br>the true story, <br>not the ones that many books will come out with. <br>You see James Harwood used to be called <br>The Amazing Santini, <br>the man who could light his whole body <br>with fire without being burnt. <br>Of course, it was an illusion. <br>It wasn’t until the Burning Bush episode <br>that I found out how he did it. <br>Oliver rose from his chair, <br>moved across to his desk, <br>and shuffled some papers until he found several photographs. <br>These are photographs of The Burning Bush, <br>now I am getting rather tired. <br>I rose and bid him a goodnight <br>until we would meet again.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>28 November 2007</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Harris">David Harris</a><div class=q>

I stepped back slightly in amazement, 
and then I smiled to myself. 
Originally, the mystery of the ghost fire 
had poised several questions in my mind.
