Bullcrap?

That’s what 17-year-old Jacqueline Fitzsimon thought in 1985 before she burst into flames in front of witnesses, her life extinguished 2-weeks later.

It’s rare, but the mechanism is described in long, scientific-sounding words on Wikipedia:

… burning of a person’s body may occur without an external source of flammable ignition.

… many theories and hypotheses have attempted to explain SHC’s existence and how it may occur, some grounded in current scientific understanding. The two most common explanations offered to account for apparent SHC are each discussed below: the non-spontaneous “wick effect” fire, and the rare discharge called “static flash fire”.

Spontaneous human combustion

Personally, I think it must have something to do with radio waves.

Some of the American Presidential candidates have denied spontaneous human combustion — but they’re the same ones who deny evolution and gay soldiers.

(Not “you don’t have to be straight, to shoot straight” Hillary.)

I first learned about the phenomenon from an important 1984 documentary.
