On episode 5, Carrie takes Sean through centuries of history to dissect one of the weirdest phenomena of all time—spontaneous human combustion, a.k.a when people burst into random flame, seemingly for no apparent reason. Through a few selected tales, Carrie tries to figure out what could cause a person to burst into such white-hot flame that they’re completely incinerated aside from the odd foot, hand, or in one particularly bizarre case…a shrunken skull. Is it ball lightning? A mysterious medical anomaly? Or is there something more sinister at play….like very, very complicated MURDER??
