What is the evidence? How do firemen react to mounds of human ashes found inside unburned buildings, even inside unscorched clothing?
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.
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 be 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.
If no other explanation can resolve these human fireballs, then SHC must be added to the growing catalog of mystery ailments that plague mankind.
Thus more questions are raised. Can the human body cremate itself biochemically? Or by its own electrical energy within? Is there a new form of energy (energies) being revealed that may herald limitless non-polluting power? What is the role of geography, quantum physics, and--indeed--human consciousness in outbreaks of SHC?
Can animals and households also spontaneously burst into flames... while firemen stand by helpless to explain or quell the baffling blazes before them? And: Could you protect yourself against this most mysterious of all the forms of human transition?
