Description
Alana tells us all about the chilling case of Jean Hilliard, a young woman who miraculously survived being frozen alive. It's our very first survivors case, but even still, the events of the night she was frozen (and even more so what it took to bring her back) are not for the faint of heart. Warning ahead, our forecast calls for the blood skeeves.
