Granny Smokestack (a.k.a. The Ash Mother, the Cinder Witch, Grandmother Ingleside and She that Sits Among the Ashes)
"Kids tell each other a lot of stories about places they’ve been told are dangerous to go. More than one foolhardy kitten has been dared to climb inside a cremation furnace while they’re inactive as a sort of a schoolyard hazing. They do say that if you’re lucky – or unlucky – you’ll hear the voice of Granny Smokestack once it’s just you and the dark and the ashes."Kitty Storm tells Connie Furr about the orphanage tales of Granny Smokestack.
Granny Smokestack, also known as the Ash Mother, the Cinder Witch, Grandmother Ingleside and She that Sits Among the Ashes, is, according to
