Ginny Griffith burned down her house recently in an attempt to kill a spider with lighter.
The 34-year-old confessed to police that she used a cigarette lighter to set fire just some towels in order to scare the spider away, the Daily Star reported.
However, the blazes spread, therefore five fire trucks were called to her apartment in Hutchinson, Kansas, US to put out the inferno and they were able to bring the fire under control within a matter of minutes.
As a result of the fire, Griffith was arrested and charged with aggravated arson because she owned a shared home.
