VietNamNet Bridge – Nguyen Phuc Giac Hai, who has spent years researching special human abilities, said that this was a rare phenomenon and could not be explained by science.
The hair of a girl caught fire three times within two days. How can you comment about this as a scientist?
There are people who can burn themselves. With their special power, they can influence surrounding things. Some people have discovered their bodies, or parts of their bodies blazing, but the footwear, clothes and surrounding things remain untouched. These people are burning themselves; the fires are not caused by outside factors.
Some people, who practise yoga, can create a source of heat which comes from their bodies. Many of them can sit on ice for several hours. The heat from those people is so strong that it can burn their bodies and make them crazy if they cannot control it. To date, the phenomenon is still beyond the knowledge of scientists.
In other cases, telepaths can also launch a very strong electronic current. Sometimes, strands of hair themselves twist into each other and cannot be separated even with a comb. In this case, those people may suffer a kind of mental disease.
The phenomenon when people catch fire themselves was seen in the last century. Several tens of cases of burning people have been recorded since the beginning of this century. However, scientists still cannot give concrete explanations of the strange phenomenon.
I think that it is a very rare phenomenon, when the hair of a girl catches fire. Vietnam has several times witnessed people burning themselves. Most recently, in 2006, a boy could create fire, which would burn nearby things like straw and clothes.
How have scientists explained the strange phenomenon?
If you want a trustworthy and scientifically methodical explanation, I must say that there has been no such explanation given.
Is it possible that the girl wears a pullover, and her hair caught fire as a result of an electrical charge as it is cold and dry?
There is not a link between the pullover and felt-made clothes and the burning. The hair of the girl burnt three times within two days, and after that she got the headache. She should be supervised so as to find out under which conditions she gets burnt. I mean to find out if there are any unusual things happening before the burnings.
How prevent the burnings?
No exact reasons have been found; therefore, it is very difficult to say what to do. I think there might be a link to epilepsy. As far as I know, some places in the world can train dogs to sense strange things occurring within humans. When people are about to experience strange phenomena, the dogs will bark.
