Spontaneous Human Combustion


Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a term surrounding reported cases of the combustion of a human body (living or recently deceased) without an apparent external source of ignition[wiki]. Personally, for me, this is the weirdest thing that I have come across while researching some mysterious phenomenon.


SHC is a weird one, and, as far as I know, it remains totally unexplained. There have been hundreds of cases reported, most of the similarities.

Usually, the victim’s torso has burned away entirely, with only a small area of charring to the surroundings. Often, limbs also remain, scorched at the end but intact otherwise. Just a couple of cases:

In 1986 retired firefighter George Mott’s remains were discovered in his New York apartment. According to some sources, all that was left of him was “a leg, a shrunken skull, and pieces of his rib cage.” Mary Hardy Reeser spontaneously combusted while sitting in a chair in her Florida home.

Upon discovery, all that remained was the burned seat springs, some bones, a shrunken skull and one foot that was still wearing its slipper. Again, the burning was localized.

This is a small story but an abnormal phenomenon to that I have come across. I was stunned on how a person can burn by itself without any external ignition to burn the person.

The mysterious teleportations allegedly lasted for several years until the boys reached puberty, and apparently lost the ability. Strange tales of teleportat...

Toys ‘R’ Us in Sunnyvale : Toy's Paranormal Event

Another compilation of the unexplained phenomenon is the toy paranormal phenomena. While reading about the even it just came to my mind, the thing that something out of the ordinary can occur and result is so strange. This is also the event that is compiled by MB Forde . Now let us know about the event. "Since the 1970s, weird stuff has happened at this toy store. The more common strange events involve staff hearing their names whispered, cold breezes and objects moving of their own accord. Taps would turn on by themselves in the women’s bathroom, and many of the store’s female employees experienced something unseen playing with their hair. The photograph above was taken with an “infrared sensitive camera” during a séance at the store during the filming of a TV show documenting the haunting. The single standing figure at the back remains unidentified and is strangely translucent in places. Nobody present remembered seeing anyone standing during the séance, and other camera...
