This is a Ristartyth production.

Since the 1400s, there has existed a very bizarre phenomenon.

Without any discernible source of ignition, individuals would burst into flames.

It is believed that the source of the fire came from within their own bodies.

But today, we're going to analyze the history of spontaneous human combustion.

This is Redweb.

Welcome back to another Mystery Monday.

I'm Trevor Collins with me, as always, Alfredo Diaz, coming in with the gut check.

Wait, wait, that's a real thing.

We're talking about spontaneous human combustion.

Who knows?

I mean, I guess it's conspiracy, but for real.

Is it real?

I thought it was just something that's in the movies.

It's in the movies and it's in real life, purportedly.

This is going to be another one of those interesting episodes that we do that kind of breaks

the mold, kind of like the Ragnotica one, where it's another ongoing mystery series

that we're talking about.

It's a topic that doesn't really have an opening-shut case.

It's just an ever-living mystery that we want to kind of take a look at.

Some classic cases of what's going on here, some stories, some firsthand accounts, and

then we'll make our own conclusions at the end, you know?
