Spontaneous Human Combustion

Join us for a look at the phenomenon that is Spontaneous Human Combustion. People have long believed that in certain instances the human body can burst into flames on their own accord. Flames of such ferocity that within minutes the victim is reduced to a heap of carbonised ashes. The idea, some call superstition, has been around for centuries, smouldering in the belief of divine retribution. ‘By the blast of God they perish.’
