00:00 Spontaneous human combustion is a real phenomenon that has fascinated people for years.

03:12 Spontaneous human combustion has been documented since the 17th century and has occurred between two and three hundred times, making it a significant phenomenon.

06:23 Spontaneous human combustion is characterized by the burning of a person's torso and head while leaving the extremities intact, often with strange burn marks and a greasy residue, and very rarely do victims survive.

09:32 One theory is that methane builds up in the intestine and ignites, causing spontaneous human combustion, but this theory is contradicted by the fact that most victims have more damage to the outside of their bodies than internal organs. Other theories include static electricity, magnetic force, and a subatomic particle called pyroton, although the existence of pyroton is theoretical. The WIC theory, which suggests that the body's fat acts as a fuel source, makes the most sense.

12:50 The limbs of people who have spontaneously combusted are left intact because they don't contain as much fat and heat as the rest of the body, causing the flames to eventually extinguish.

16:18 Spontaneous human combustion incidents have occurred throughout history, such as a woman's dress catching fire for no reason in 1938, a woman being found burned down to the size of a teacup in 1951, and a mentally handicapped woman sitting with her father in 1982.

19:17 A woman's upper body was suddenly engulfed in flames, with her father witnessing flames coming out of her mouth and making a roaring noise, leading to her death from third degree burns.
