Spontaneous human combustion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) refers to the belief that the human body sometimes burns without an external source of ignition. There is much speculation and controversy regarding SHC, for it is not a proven natural phenomenon. Many theories and hypotheses have attempted to explain how SHC might occur, some of which are grounded in current scientific understanding. 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 is remote, due to the presence of water and the lack of highly flammable compounds and oxygen in the human body.

Alleged SHC deaths and survivors

Deaths

Robert Francis Bailey
Dr John Irving Bentley
George I. Mott
Mary Hardy Reeser (also known as The Cinder Lady)
Jeannie Saffin
Henry Thomas

Survivors

A number of people have reported serious burns that injured their bodies with no apparent cause. If this is not the alleged phenomenon known as SHC, it would appear to be a very closely-related occurrence. This list is not intended to be taken as comprehensive.

Jack Angel
Professor H (University of Tennessee professor whose clothing caught fire in 1835)
