Is this the first ever footage of spontaneous human combustion?
The man appears to lie peacefully in a doorway as flames roar from his chest and stomach
Spontaneous human combustion - Wikipedia
Basicly people being lit on fire with no source of ignition. There are hundreds of recorded cases. That's scary af.
On 2 July 1951, Mary Reeser, a 67-year-old woman, was found burned to death in her house after her landlady realised that the house's doorknob was unusually warm. The landlady notified the police, and upon entering the home, they found Reeser's remains completely burned into ash, with only one leg remaining. The chair she was sitting in was also destroyed. During the investigation, detectives found that Reeser's temperature was around 3,500 °F (1,930 °C; 2,200 K), which puzzled the investigators, as almost everything else in the room in which Reeser was found remained intact.
Even crematorium burns at lower temperature. What could possibly cause such a high temperature?
