A Crystal Ball Was Left in the Sun and Sets a Person's House on Fire

Firefighters in Delton, Wisconsin responded to a fire last Monday after someone came home and found their entire living room engulfed.

And it turned out the fire was started by a CRYSTAL BALL.

They had a crystal ball sitting out on a table, right next to a big window. And when the sun hit the crystal, it created a HEAT RAY that set their couch on fire.

It sounds like it was just a decoration. Which is too bad. Because if the person had actually been USING it, they might have seen this coming . . .

Anyway, firefighters were able to put the fire out before the entire house went up, so it wasn't a total loss. But it was still significant. 

They estimated the damage at around $250,000. (WHIO) (Here are the photos.)
