DO U MEAN HELLFIRE? THOSE WHO FIND JESUS AND REPENT WONT HAVE TO WORRY about that.

Answer 4

i think so, they have modern cases but the authorities wont say how its done. if its a paranormal thing, than the powers that be cause it to happen, if its a human conspiracy, it a biological chemical thing. in other words can enough ignitable material be put in the blood or flesh to have a chemical reaction once it tips over the burning point. the ignition point.

Answer 5

Yes. Happens all the time.

Answer 6

There are documented cases with photographs. There is no logical explanation though, so it is debatable.

Answer 7

Only after bad Mexican food

Answer 8

I do not think it is spontaneous as most cases have a source of ignition nearby. But there are certainly cases of people burning to ashes whilst little material close to them is damaged. Most of these people are elderly and obese, it seems that a dropped cigarette or gas fire can ignite clothes and turn the person into a candle, the clothing acting as a wick as it burns the fat off the body.

I understand there may be other cases where a medical condition may result in flammable gasses being given off from.the skin. This is not recorded as much and would still need an ignition source.

I seem to remember that the human candle situation has been replicated in experiments. Other cases that do not seem to be explainable in the same way have been reported, maybe there are reasons for these that we do not understand yet.

Answer 9

Depends on what you mean by "spontaneous."
If you mean "With no possible external source of ignition" then no. No such cases have even been seen.

Answer 10

From what I've seen it is mostly wicking effect that gets called it.
