Spontaneous combustion is a crazy topic! Before I started researching for this video, I had no idea what was out there on this, and the story is much more incredible than I could ever imagine! 

Did you know that in 1725, a man was acquitted of murder based on the fact that a surgeon testified that the cause of death of the person he was expected to have killed died of spontaneous combustion?

Or that prohibitionist in the United States used spontaneous combustion as one of their arguments against alcohol?! 

And the craziest thing I can think of with this is that in 2010 a person's cause of death in Ireland was officially written down on the coroner's report as due to spontaneous combustion! 

There are a number of theories out there, and we'll take a look at them from the paranormal to the scientific, and of course we'll dig into some of the most interesting cases of spontaneous combustion.

We take a look at the paranormal case of Eleanor Zugun, an 11 year old Romanian girl who had paranormal experiences that began in 1925 and lasted for about two years.

Some of the witnesses were researchers such as psychiatrists, university professors, and physicists. Eleanor's experiences started with things flying off shelves around her but the escalated to her being physically attacked, bitten, and scratched.
