Combusting Cat of Stanmore
Anmer Lodge nursing home, Outer London: Stanmore
At Anmer Lodge nursing home in Stanmore, a bizarre incident took place in January 1987 that left residents and staff scratching their heads. Peppi the cat, a seemingly ordinary feline, enjoyed life at the nursing home before meeting an extraordinary demise. One day, without warning, Peppi suddenly exploded into a blue flame with a bang and a flash. This inexplicable event has been documented as a rare case of Spontaneous Feline Combustion, or SHC for short.
