so the "spontaneous" nature of it is pretty non-existent
But there is unexplained cases such as 'The Cinder Lady'. Noones figured out what happend to her. Her body was in ashes except for a foot and a shoe, her chair was destroyed, but nothing else was touched, except for some smoke stains. Scary scary.[/QUOTE]SHC has been successfully recreated using animal carcasses. It is a wick effect of the clothing and resulting cinders. Oil flames burn quite hot, but very small. The fat is rendered and the water escapes while the fat burns. A pig carcass, with similar body fat content to humans, was reduced to cinders bone and all. This was done in a room with common household items with the carcass laying on a mattress. It was covered with a cotton sheet and used 1 cup of grain alchohol for an accellerant. The room remained intact. Items placed high were partially melted by accumulated heat, but unburned. Most of the mattress along with the bottom part of the pigs legs remained intact. I watched this experiment on TV. That's it!
