Today we visits McKenzies greatest fear, spontaneous human combustion! The phenomena has burned into the minds of the public for centuries. It reached its peak popularity in the 18,000s when the temperance movement used SHC as a propaganda tool. Charles Dickens even wrote about it! Even though most scientists and researchers  claimed it is impossible for a human being to suddenly burst into flames without an outside ignition source, the phenomena continued to grow. Now many scientists have tried to explain SHC through experiments. Listen along as we learn about their theories as well as the many cases of suspected spontaneous human combustion!
