Do you know what it is?

It is a strange phenomenon,
which can not be explained by scientific evidence.

If a person get burned suddenly without any spot of fire around,
it 's called Spontaneous Human Combustion.

When it comes to spontaneous human combustion, it reminds me of that Discovery channel had a topic of it earlier.

According to the investigation of the authority, this weird phenomenon is a result of "candle effect". In fact, it's not a fast or short procedure but a slow, long mechanism. The corresponding experiments have showed that the "slow burn" of "candle effect" will firstly burn the body fat contained in our peripheral tissue, and then burn into the bone .

Actually, the bone tissue is abundant of fat. The burn from inside of the bones is considered one of the main sources of the high temprature to keep heating. The temperature which finally reach to about 800 degree of Celsius scalecould can even burn the bone itself into ash.

However, fat tissue is not abundant in human crus. And that's why the victims were usually burned untill the crus left when they were found. What an awesome scene... Shocked
