paranormal explanations
In general, there is nothing that allows experts to identify the source of the fire.
DIVINE PUNISHMENT
In the 17th century, when the first cases appeared, the population and even some scientists attributed the occurrences to punishments from God for those who defied society. Alcoholic women considered to be unbalanced would be the main victims
SPECULATIVE CHEMISTRY
In the book Ablaze!, the American Larry Arnold, a scholar of paranormal phenomena, suggests that combustion is due to pyroton, a subatomic particle. Under specific conditions, it would increase body temperature. The existence of pyroton has never been proven.
HOT HEAD
The English police expert and self-taught John Heymer wrote in the book Entrance Flame that the phenomenon would occur with people in a psychological trance. The condition, caused by social isolation and loneliness, would trigger chemical reactions and combustion
*In 2010, in Ireland, Michael Faherty was charred at home. The responsible coroner classified the case as spontaneous combustion.
