Any record of locking children in houses and burning them, particularly in late 1500s- early 1600s?

Asking for a friend. 👀 Cough, cough. Said friend has what she thinks is a past life memory and is... uh... too afraid to post herself for fear people will call her crazy or judge her. So please don't judge her. Cough, cough. Cough, cough. 👀 Friend is also aware this could simply be a DNA memory and not an actual past life memory.

Anyways, the memory is as follows. My "friend" (👀) was a little girl living in a town with mostly half-timbered buildings that looked very much like Rothenburg ob Tauber in Germany. It wasn't a big city or a tiny village, just a proper town. Thanks to some sleuthing with chatgpt, she has come to believe that this was sometimes between the late 16th century and the early 17th. The town had a cobbled market square, and she can describe brief glimpses of Market Day in this square. She lived with her parents, grandmother (who eventually died of natural causes), and a baby brother.

As for the home she lived in, it mostly consisted of one bigger main room with a door leading to a teeny tiny bedroom where her grandmother slept, located behind the hearth wall. The grandmother's room was so tiny that the bed mostly took up all the space. As for the main room, I live in a small-ish suburban bottom-end-of-middle-class home, and the main room was about the size of my combined living and dining room. As for the layout of the home, the north and south walls were longer, the east and west walls shorter. In the middle of the south wall were 2 windows, no glass, probably with wooden shutters. In the eastern corner of this same wall was probably the door. The eastern wall had the heart, and in the corner to the left of the hearth was the door leading to the grandmother's room. On the other side of the room near the west wall and centered was a square wooden table, and she recalls a metal pitcher sitting on it. The table may have had a rug beneath it. There may have been a bed in the northwestern corner of the room. The walls seemed to be made of something clay-like. There may also have been simple decorative writing on one of the walls. Have come to find that the home layout resembles way too closely the inside of a German early modern home, with the main room with the fireplace (stube) and the tiny unheated bedroom behind the hearth wall (kammer) that was often reserved for elders.

As for clothing details, these are very vague. The clearest detail is her father wearing a probably-solid-color green Renaissance style partlet. (Is that what you call it, or is it a doublet?) The garment was long sleeve, not the kind where it's the sleeveless vesty thing on top of a white shirt.The garment had little lengthwise decorative slashes at the elbow joints, revealing white fabric beneath. The ends of the sleeves had white ruffles, suggesting this green garment was worn on top of a white shirt with ruffles at the ends of the sleeves. He also had pants, slightly puffed but nothing too dramatic, that may have also been solid green. My friend 👀 describes that she herself always seemed to be dressed simply, almost like a peasant, while her father's clothing gave middle class vibes, or lower end of middle class.

This next bit is the bit I need the most help with- how she died. She says it was a normal day, when out of the blue people came to their door, took her parents away by force, and locked her and her baby brother inside the house on purpose. They were left there for some time and she was terrified. Suddenly there was a boom noise and the entire house exploded very quickly into flames, destroying the house almost instantly and killing them. It may have also caused the home to crumble. She says the destruction happened very quickly. Btw, the men who took her parents MAY have been wearing puffy pants striped lengthwise black and white, but this is NOT for sure, so take it with a grain of salt.

She has no clue what happened. Some theories so far have been... 1) Religious persecution during the Reformation, 2) Violence by the Spanish or Dutch working for the Spanish during the 80 Years' War, 3) Violence by Landsknecht mercenaries (not likely, as there is no record of Landsknechts doing anything like that, and the intruders were not flamboyantly dressed), 4) something like the Mérindol Massacre of the Waldensians.

Another detail if it at all helps- My friend's father has a very vague past life memory of being a guy in an old world, probably Renaissance era town similar to the one she describes. He says that he went to some kind of inn or tavern every night to play music, and that he believes he had a family he would come home to every night after work. She wonders if their past lives are connected. Craziness runs in the family I guess.

Btw, my friend had phobia of fire as a young child that made her neurotic (she was even terrified of fajitas bc they smoked), understood that everyone dies from age 4 and would stay up at night worrying and asking questions about how long she would live and how long her parents would live, and went nutty for Praetorius's Dances from Terpsichore at age 1 1/2, which her father would play for her over and over because it made her smile and dance like crazy. She also says she already knew what "Elizabethan" meant and recognized Elizabethan style at about 5 or 6 without being taught about it before.

Anyways, please give your two cents on where, when, or what this potentional memory may be. And please, I already know I'm going to get judged so much but... please don't judge!!! 😭😭😭 Agh so nervous for people's reactions.
