Re: spontaneous human combustion
OMG, I saw a documentary on this. And my understanding from the program is that it's an actual phenomenon. They showed the charred remains of the spontaneous combustion victims. I vaguely remember the story about this old man who was sitting in a sofa watching tv or reading the newspaper or perhaps even sleeping.......when he self-combusted. And it was like his upper body just exploded and disappeared. All you can see was his shoes and maybe a bit of the charred legs left. YIKES!
Re: spontaneous human combustion
Okay here is what I found from Wikipedia on spontaneous combustion:
As it is an unproven natural phenomenon, there is much speculation and controversy regarding SHC. In most cases, a small shrunken skull, part of a leg(s) (with the clothing still on), or sometimes both are found in the remains of the person thought to have combusted.
One such hypothesis is the “wick effect”, in which the clothing of the victim soaks up melted human fat and acts like the wick of a candle. Another possibility is that the clothing is caused to burn by a discharge of static electricity. The likelihood that truly spontaneous human combustion actually takes place within the body is quite low.[1]](Spontaneous human combustion - Wikipedia) Another theory is every human body contains varying strengths of electrical field (which is why it is possible to get a mild shock from metal). Every living body also contains gases- oxygen in the lungs, and methane in the intestines. Electrical charges can ignite these gases.
