Billy Burnham

Billy Burnham was a former alcoholic and the owner of a Sydenham motor business.

On Christmas Eve, 2008, Billy was driving to Warrington with a present for his son - a yellow hot rod - in the hope that it would make up for all the Christmases that he wasn't there. On the way, he stopped to pick up a hitchhiker, a girl called Natasha, who was hoping to get to Blackpool.

Instead of taking her all the way, Billy planned to drop her in Warrington, from where she could hitch a lift up the M6. As he opened the door to let her out on the approach road, the Zynog possessing Natasha attacked Billy and entered his mind. (AUDIO: Death in Blackpool)
