Episode 277 Hot Stuff - The History of Spontaneous Human Combustion with Author Dan B. Fierce

We begin with a trigger warning, this week we talk about the results of people apparently catching fire spontaneously and the gruesome remains that sometimes leaves behind.  We attempt to go easy but still if you find yourself challenged by some of these descriptions, feel free to skip the episode.  You matter.  What a week!  This week we tackle the burning subject (quite literally( of spontaneous human combustion.  We dig into historic cases both fairly mundane and incredibly strange.  We discuss cases and theories from ancient to modern, including the wick effect and how it literally demands the person sit in one place, unmoving while they burn to mostly ash.  We discuss the very strange case of Mary Reeser and so much more and we also talk to author, and friend of the show, Dan B. Fierce about his upcoming plans.  Check it out!https://linktr.ee/danbfiercehttps://a.co/d/2wRgwvcBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
