The Hartford circus fire occured on July 6, 1944 in Hartford Connecticut and it was one of the worse fire disasters in the United States history. The fire started during an afternoon performance at Ringling Bros and Barnum & Baily circus that was attended by 6,000 to 8,00 people. Some had claimed the cause to be a careless accident. But there were some people (mostly family members of the victims) who believed the fire was a murder crime-it was caused by an arson. Robert Segee who was an employee said in 1950 he was seeing an Indian riding a flaming horse telling him to set the fire. He was sentenced 40 of imprisonment. Hartford investigators had doubts of his confession. Segee had a history of mental illness-it can be proven he was somewhere in Connecticut when the fire happened. In 1994 Segee denied causing the fire then died in 1997. Many historians, investigators and family members of the victims believed the fire to be cause by an arson-if it was caused by an arson, that would be a big mystery.
