Spontaneous Human Combustion And The Enlightenment - Bowdoin College

If you miss Dr. Beachcombing as much as we do, missing for nigh 9 months, Tom Porter has an interesting analysis of an 18th century murder trial replete with fortean elements. A sordid affair where an innkeeper was accused of burning his wife alive, and the one countryman who argued for the accused's innocence. Of especial interest is how the argument for spontaneous human combustion emphasized the virtues of reason and science during the Enlightenment. In the 21st century, science and reason appear to have failed Dana Negrey. Who? According to Tim Binnall, he's the Canadian Man Who Can't Escape The Maddening "Mystery Hum" which has haunted him since 2008. Dana's torture is Tim Binnall's reward as he recaps the the investigations and potential solutions. Mr. Negrey should count his blessings after Brent Swancer's recounting of The Mysterious World Of Real Golems. While there aren't any contemporary accounts, nor tutorials for creating one, Brent has a great stepping stone for those who've always wanted their own servitor. While these brutes may lack a soul, the same can't be said for humans. Taking a page from the ancient Egyptians, and Robert Crookall, Michael Prescott muses upon the Four Bodies and a curious intersection between them and computers. (CS)
