Spontaneous Human Combustion - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

[@janethilger9781]

I find it interesting that this seems to only be a problem when people are alone.

[@eternalbyzantium262]

It's impossible to not love Jimmy Akin. Full stop.

Many tried... and many failed...

[@brookekennel2636]

This honestly terrified me as a child

[@renee1741]

me too... I was scared it would happen at any moment... lol

I lost 85 pounds in about a year on your weight loss advice. If I had know about your human fat theory on spontaneous combustion beforehand I would have been way more motivated to lose that fat faster. I guess we now know your real secret motivation for your own weight loss success.

[@HerotPM]

I saw a special on this topic when I was a little kid with my slightly older brother. This happening to us was a legitimate concern we both shared for some time after.

[@agentjs09]

In the skinwalker ranch episode, there was mentioned a dog who was completely incinerated by mysterious flying orbs. The circumstances of that combustion seems very similar to this one, wouldn't you agree?

[@josephreagan9545]

I was just thinking that as well.

I love how you cover such random, interesting material! Perhaps a suggestion here.. when I was younger I read a lot about the children with black eyes.. they are said to be demons and I’ve read many accounts about them. Not sure what there is to be said about this, but you should look into it! It gave me the ebee jeebees and still does

[@JimmyAkin]

Black-Eyed Children are on the list!

Microwaves produce "hot spots" in food that "imoliate" that spot, while leaving the rest of the food untouched. Microwaves = Radar. I remember several of these incidents documented in magazines. But I've never seen an ANIMAL case. I also remember intentional animal mutilations, always farm/ranch animals - never seen a game animal mutilation case.

[@edinnm8212]

Ah yes, spontaneous human combustion. I remember back around the early 1980's that this was covered in the TV show "That's Incredible!" with Fran Tarkenton, John Davidson, and Cathy Lee Crosby. The show made it sound like spontaneous human combustion seemed incredible, but was likely true. Jimmy and Dom, your handling of the topic was much more reasonable and balanced.

[@keepingthebooks]

When I saw this video's title... I was hoping that there would be some reference to This Is Spinal Tap. Hope fulfilled within the first two minutes.

[@HeroQuestFans]

three survivors of spontaneous human combustion downvoted this video

[@ShaunCKennedyAuthor]

This was a hot topic!

[@notrueflagshere198]

I'm viewer 451, but that's for books.

[@Engem0411]

This.

[@cameronbyers5710]

Wonderful episode as always! Will you be doing an update on Skinwalker Ranch? Hulu has a new documentary out from the History Channel that is actively following the new owner and his team of researchers. There’s been some new and disturbing activity!

[@LostArchivist]

The astronomy news made me think of a topic. Might there me an episode on the Black Knight satellite possibly?

[@JimmyAkin]

Black Knight Satellite is on the list!

[@LostArchivist]

@@JimmyAkin Awesome! Thanks Mr.Akin for the fast reply! God bless you!

[@patricklechner617]

Perhaps Miss Havisham from Great Expectations was a victim of spontaneous combustion. She was certainly stressed enough, and her dress was dry enough. Her dress was also a wedding dress, likely with many layers, providing much fuel. The only issue is that she likely did not have much fat on her given her description. Though now that I think of it, she had been described as a wax figure, which may have grimly foreshadowed her immolation.

[@FourKidsNoMoney]

I remember reading about the Reeser case in a Urban Legends comic book my dad had back in the 90's... thought it was so cool haha

[@TrialAndError8713]

Ok, I just listened to the episode about the heretic Pharoah. Very interesting! But what I had to go look for was the Bigfoot story from Provo. Interesting footage, and I, also, appreciate that the guy interviewed in the news report is not insistent as to the nature of the creature in the video.

[@TrialAndError8713]

I just jumped over here to ask a weird question. I'm not caught up to this episode yet. If the word "bachelor" is based on the verb "to bach", or having to, essentially, fend for oneself on a daily basis, is it feasible to have a "married bachelor" in context of the definition of the verb "to bach", rather than the currently accepted definition of the word "bachelor"? Thank you! I'm going back to Spotify.

[@JimmyAkin]

It appears that the English word "bachelor" is derived from an older term meaning "young man" or "squire." The verb "to batch" (fend for oneself, to live as a bachelor) is a later development that is derived FROM "bachelor." While it's possible for new word uses to develop, the idea of a married bachelor (married person who fends for him/her-self) would be a non-standard usage at this point. Hope this helps! Here's info about the word origin of "bachelor": www.etymonline.com/search?q=bachelor

[@TrialAndError8713]

@@JimmyAkin that helps. I didn't know that was the original definition of the root word. Thanks! (It was a thought...😕)

[@swoosh1mil]

What!?! You mean it's not always demons 😈 ...or aliens 👽? Interestingly enough...This is the second episode I'm watching. The first episode...It's always demons 😈 or aliens 👽! Mysterious!?! I'll let you all be the judge of that....

[@ante3973]

Btw also rainbow bodies would be an interesting topic

[@josephreagan9545]

I think it is a combination of all of the theories. I would also like to remind you that in your video on skinwalker ranch, you mentioned a blue orb (similar to ball lightning) the incinerated the guy's 3 dogs. Also, your views for this video are unnaturally low. Is CommieTube restricting your content?

[@ante3973]

Here's a controversial topic..... Muhammad? Btw I love the show!!!!

[@LaserVelociraptor]

Could get him in trouble with youtube
