Honestly? Same. Light me up and leave a good scent behind.

☠️ So… What Is It?

Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is when a person suddenly bursts into flames - 
with no clear ignition source,
no nearby fire,
no accelerants,
and no logical explanation.

Just… whoosh.
Human candle.
Torso BBQ’d.
Legs often untouched.
And usually, no furniture damage.
Just ash.
And trauma.

🧬 Is It Real?

YES.
There are over 200 documented cases, dating back centuries.

• Some from ancient texts

• Some reported by firefighters

• Some caught on CCTV (👀)
  And always the same eerie patterns:

• Victims found reduced to ash in the middle of otherwise undamaged rooms

• Often seated

• Often alone

• Sometimes mid-task - like writing, eating, or literally sleeping

• Their surroundings untouched, but their bodies obliterated

🕯️ Theories? Oh, Honey…

There are many, and none of them are satisfying:

🧪 The "Wick Effect"
→ Body fat acts like candle wax, ignited by a small spark (like a cigarette)
→ Cool in theory, but it still doesn’t explain how the fire starts

⚡ Static electricity buildup
→ Sounds like a rejected X-Men power tbh

👻 Paranormal intervention
→ Ghosts, demons, angry spirits with a Bic lighter

👽 Alien tech malfunction
→ Honestly? Wouldn’t be the weirdest thing aliens have done

🔥 Repressed rage or cursed energy finally erupting?
→ Now we’re talking.

🧍♀️ Iconic Case Time

Mary Reeser (1951) – St. Petersburg, Florida

• Found: A pile of ashes in her chair

• Only her left foot and a portion of her spine remained

• Everything else? Obliterated

• Plastic light switches in the room? Melted

• But her newspapers and curtains? Untouched.

Firefighters couldn’t explain it.
Neither could scientists.
But witches?
We have vibes-based theories.

🔮 Witch Tip:

If you feel like bursting into flames - own it.
Burn with purpose.
And for the love of spellwork,
smell like something sacred when you go.

Light a Protection Candle before bed,
carry your Fortune Soap like it’s a talisman,
and remember: if the world makes no sense,
you might as well go out as an aesthetically pleasing mystery.

🖤 Moral of the story?

You never know what’s going to set you off:
Mercury in retrograde,
a passive-aggressive email,
or your body just deciding to combust.

So live boldly.
Spell safely.
And maybe don’t ignore that inner fire, babe - because it might not stay inner.

💬 Would YOU combust from rage, ritual, or vibes alone?
