Spontaneous Human Combustion

Listen Later

Spontaneous human combustion refers to the death from a fire originating without an apparent external source of ignition; the fire is believed to start within the body of the victim. This phenomenon is believed to have occurred for centuries, where the earliest documented incident can be found in the 17th century, with a large number of cases recorded in the 19th century and a handful in the 20th and 21st centuries. Altogether, there are a few hundred recorded possible cases.

In this podcast version of the episode, I will feature three more exclusive cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion and also a more in-depth view of the mysterious phenomena.
