In November 1974, traveling salesman Jack Angel survived a partial spontaneous combustion event in his motorhome in Savannah, Georgia. Angel awoke to find his right forearm burned black through the bone despite his pajamas and bedding remaining unsinged. Medical practitioners documented the burns as "internal in origin," and extensive engineering inspections of the motorhome failed to find any external mechanical or electrical cause for the injuries.

The conversation shifts to the mechanisms behind afterlife visions, questioning if they are external realities or subconscious projections designed to comfort the dying. Dr. Scott Kolbaba admits that while medical science might suggest decreased brain circulation as a cause, the doctors he interviewed felt the experiences pointed to something "higher." The segment introduces the idea of deceased loved ones using physical objects as signs for the living.
