Time: 8pm
Admission: $8 ( Tickets Here )
Location: Morbid Anatomy Museum, 424 Third Avenue, 11215 Brooklyn.

Tonight’s talk will explore the hot topic of spontaneous human combustion. Find out how and if this can happen to you and see images of those who have been purified by fire (and left a few remnants to show for it).

Professor Karen Bachmann, who has a long-standing interest in Spontaneous Human Combustion, and who has written on the subject of human body part relics, will sift through these remains during this heavily illustrated lecture.
