Spontaneous Human Combustion: Granny's on Fire

Spontaneous Human Combustion Join hosts Kenny and Garrett as they get into the mystery of spontaneous human combustion (SHC)—where people burst into flames with no apparent cause. From a 14th-century knight torched after too much wine to a 2011 Irishman officially ruled an SHC victim, we explore bizarre historical cases, common traits (think elderly alcoholics and detached limbs), and wild theories. Is it the "wick effect" turning bodies into candles, ball lightning zapping folks, or something spookier like Kundalini energy gone rogue?  Sources: * Spontaneous Human Combustion- Wiki  * Is Spontaneous Human Combustion Real? * Spontaneous human combustion in the light of the 21st century [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22269823/] * History- Is sponatneous human Combustion real?
