Spontaneous Human Combustion: Unexplained Fires in Human Bodies
Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a controversial and poorly understood
phenomenon characterized by the sudden and unexplained ignition of a human body, resulting in partial or complete incineration. Cases of SHC typically involve the discovery of charred remains with little to no external evidence of fire damage to the surrounding environment. While skeptics argue that most alleged cases of SHC can be attributed to external ignition sources, such as cigarettes or open flames, proponents of the phenomenon suggest that unique chemical reactions within the body may be responsible. However, scientific consensus on the existence and mechanisms of SHC remains elusive, relegating it to the realm of mystery and speculation.
