I really don't get why Owd Akela wants this information.
What will knowing how many casualties of this fire do to help with her(and her colleagues) feeling of a ' presence'?
If you are feeling a presence the just accept this.....or ignore it.
Or if it really bothers you so much then seek out a member of the clergy to dismiss this presence(though I am not sure that approach works).
If the presence is peaceful then go about your business and let it go about its business.

Now for all those who do not believe in such things I have had my card marked as 'nutter'...but that is nothing new and is something I am quite happy to live with.
