Spontaneous Human Combustion

By Crusader1307

The strange and still unexplained phenomenon that is known as Spontaneous Human Combustion or SHC - is a reputed condition, whereby a living or dead human body erupts into flames (slowly or with more dramatic speed). Theorized as early as the 1740s, the exact cause is unknown. Many link SHC linked to alcohol consumption. Some link it to various forms of Cancer. Statistically, it it estimated that between 1834 to 1995, 200 verified Cases has been documented and left unexplained. No combustible materials or other common causes were found. Bodies simply "caught fire". Females are reputedly more susceptible to SHC. In addition, the legs of victims appear to remain unaffected (with the entirety of the body completely burnt to ash). Of this residue, reports of the material ash as "foul smelling and greasy" have been noted. Further, no other nearby items are affected by this "Supernatural Fire". Just what is the cause of SHC A latent "curse" placed upon an unwitting victim, or a unknown biological corrective action Perhaps we will never know.
