"Can humans spontaneously burst into flames? A lot of people think spontaneous human combustion is a real occurrence, but most scientists aren't convinced." &mdash science.howstuffworks.com/shc.htm

In December 1966, the body of 92-year-old Dr. J. Irvin�g Bentley was discovered in his Pennsylvania home by a meter reader. Actually, only part of Dr. Bentley's leg and slippered foot were found. The rest of his body had been burned to ashes. A hole in the bathroom floor was the only evidence of the fire that had killed him; the rest of the house remained perfectly intact.

How could a man catch fire -- with no apparent source of a spark or flame -- and then burn so completely without igniting anything around him? Dr. Bentley's case and several hundred others like it have been labeled "spontaneous human combustion" (SHC). Although he and other victims of the phenomenon burned almost completely, their surroundings, and even sometimes their clothes, remained virtually untouched.

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a name used to describe cases of the burning of a living human body without an apparent external source of ignition. There is speculation and controversy regarding SHC � some regard it as a unique and currently unexplained phenomenon, while others feel that cases described as SHC can be understood using current generally-accepted scientific principles. There have been about 200 cited cases worldwide over a period of around 300 years; however, most of the alleged cases are characterised by the lack of a thorough investigation, or rely heavily on hearsay and oral testimony. In many of the more recent cases, where photographic evidence is available, it is alleged that there was an external source of heat present (often cigarettes), and nothing occurred "spontaneously."

Appearing during the first three hours, the Director of ParaScience International, Larry Arnold discussed his pioneering research into spontaneous human combustion (SHC)-- inexplicable incidents where people burn up while their surroundings show no signs of fire. One of the rarest of physical phenomena, SHC raises profound questions, and has stirred up controversy in the quest to explain or deny its existence, he said.

The 1951 case of Mary Reeser in St. Petersburg, Florida generated a great deal of public interest. The 175 lb. woman was found reduced to 8-10 lbs. of ash, though her left foot was undamaged. Her skull was said to have shrunk to the size of a tea cup, he recounted. Reports of such cases extend back hundreds of years, and have been seen around the world. In one especially curious case from the UK in 1899, two sibling girls spontaneously combusted, at separate locations a mile apart.

In some instances, witnesses have observed sudden ignitions of people, where a blue or silver flame is seen on the victims' body. In 1974, a man named Jack Angel suffered from a partial SHC incident. His right forearm was burned from the inside out as he slept, and the burns seemed to be of an electrical nature, Arnold detailed.

Arnold dismissed the "wick theory," a popular explanation for SHC which suggests that clothing becomes ignited and then body fat becomes the wick for a fire. It has never been conclusively demonstrated, he stated. SHC cases tend to peak every 32 years, and may be related to solar activity or geophysical factors, he offered, adding that unidentified subatomic particles within the body might trigger a chain reaction that leads to SHC.
