  • My son and I were discussing that last week. We used to hear a great deal about it, then lately nothing. Maybe this can help. http://www.crystalinks.com/shc.html
  • Fatal cases often include alcohol comsumption and cigarettes. But this does not account for the burning being limited to body parts only. Anecdotal stories exist of folks who start to feel a bit of warmth in a body part, then see some flame that quickly goes out. There is not enough scientific evidence to demonstrate that it does not exist, or explain how it could exist. It remains a mystery.
  • I remember hearing about human combustion in old mystery tv shows... in search of.... that's incredible etc... The last burns were in the 20th century... about 1932 & 1940+.... I have heard nothing else either... maybe you could look in the internet...
  • u must be really hot in order for that to happen.
  • yes there were storys investigated in the 20th century... one story was about a elderly lady who caught fire while asleep... the possible causes were a massive electrical discharge & alcohol or the melting of body fat... either way the only remains of her left were a leg, a blackened skull & ashes of her & the chair...
  • To Any1 who is worried about this please read this scientific fact that i am about to write THERE IS NOTHING IN YOUR BODY THAT CAN CREATE ENOGH HEAT TO REDUCE YOUR BONES TO ASH all the cases of so called victims were all "found by" or "stubbled upon by" someone at least 3 or 4 days after and it has NEVER been witnissed scientist are now CONVINCED it is the wick effect caused by a heat source it has only happend to elderly people and over weight heavy smokers so there is no need to worry as it is pretty obvious there is NO SUCH THING thank you.
  • No, there is no definitive proof that such a thing has occurred.
  • There are too many scientific fields that we still need to understand to be sure whether this phenomenon is real or not but it would be wrong to rule it out. There are documented cases of it but absolute proof there is not. Consider that about 1500 years ago EVERYONE beleived the world to be flat.
  • Spontaneous human combustion is a myth, however bales of alfalfa have been known to burst into flames due to some chemical reaction during decomposition, so there is a type of spontaneous combustion that does happen.
  • just check wiki. like i did it happens.
