“There are round burn marks on the walls of the hallway where my deceased husband walked through. He had walked from the end of the hallway into my bedroom one evening while I was getting ready for bed. I was sitting on the bed, and as he got closer, his eyes had a look of pleading, they were fiery red. His lips were moving, but I never heard a sound. I was in shock! After about 10 seconds, I fell back to my pillow, stared up at the ceiling and prayed. The next thing I remembered, it was morning. I felt a heaviness in my heart. When I spoke to the priest at my church, he told me to have Masses said for him. And I have. I pray fervently for his soul. The burn marks are still there to this day. The walls of the hallway are painted white and you can see the brownish stains that DO NOT go away even after scrubbing them away! This happened in 2009, my husband died in 2008. I believe in the Holy Souls. I believe in praying for them. PLEASE EVERYONE…………………PRAY FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY EVERY DAY!”

Assuming that it's Purgatory and not the other place associated with flames.

"his eyes had a look of pleading"... seems to say it was Purgatory.

I was taught the souls in Hell are there of their own will, the souls in Purgatory plead for help.

Perhaps. But that's subjective. There were no actual words. Even the "Rich Man" (who mistreated Lazarus) was pleading for a drop of water.

Sometimes God permits a soul from Purgatory to appear in this world in order to ask for prayers.

I am reminded of the story about a farmer. He was out in the field one day and he cried out in pain and he fell over. He was brought into the house. When he woke up he said that a soul in Purgatory touched him and the pain was so great that that was why he passed out.
