This is redicelous. I feel sorry you believe there is a slight chance this isn't an hoax. But after reading all your replies I can understand why you would. Maybe at some future time you will start to understand that suspcious circemstances + unlikely story + no meanstream coverage = hoax.

This is a cruel joke of a publicity stunt lol if this were real they wouldn't be doing these crappy camera angles and hiding the cloth while it's being "lit" and stuff.


The videos are from one of the Philippines' largest broadcasting companies, so the videos do get a few additional points for credibility. Yes, it's extremely frustrating that the camera angles suck. I do hope they actually put more investigation on this. If this were a hoax, well, let's say that could mean the downfall of millions of dollars worth of a company.
Interesting comeback. How long did it take you make one?

Yes I am aware of that. I really am leaning towards hoax here, but that fact that a mainstream broadcasting company in the Philippines released this news, does make me think twice about automatically dismissing this as a publicity stunt. I know that not everything on television is true, but really it does make me think about possibilities.

True. But I'm also interested in how long they can keep up this "hoax" if this really is one.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-10-17/11-craziest-media-hoaxes

The media covering this fire-girl is just there recording her. They're not claiming she has superpowers and when it turns out to be a hoax they will just say they were tricked.

The reason why you are getting so many negative responses is because bullshit like this appears everyday. How bout making a deal about it once they actually have some real evidence...But oh wait they're already claiming the girl is too young and will probably have a whole bunch of reasons why they can't get the proof. I mean just stop for a second and think. If she really could do this, why don't they just tell her to point at something and set it on fire while taping it?

Point taken. I really want to somehow contact the company and ask for clear footage, but obviously it will be a ridiculous waste of time. I guess we'll just have to see what happens next.

This is what I was thinking/hoping for as well. A moment where indeed she did point/yelled at something to see it being set on fire. Instead, some vague shots that could just as well be a "normal day in the life of people living in town x, and something caught fire" report. That sucks, 'cause I'm a sucker for stuff like this. Same with UFOs and other kind of stuff. The sad truth is that people want to believe (so do I, but damnit rational thinking/hard proof always gets me) this kind of stuff really hard, and tend to then ignore the facts or think straight for a moment. As mentioned, I really like this kind of stuff myself but blantly believing "the news" (public station or commercial, doesn't matter that much), or just one source in general isn't a good thing. Not keeping track of rational sense besides that, isn't making it any better either.

I want to believe. But this isn't helping me believe harder

Experts however, remain skeptical.

Sorry to be nit-picky, but I don't think they're claiming she is too young - she actually is young, very young in fact.

But anyway, I too remained sceptical as they did not show any footage of any material igniting... only footage of stuff just on fire.
I fear that the whole thing may be a hoax, just in order for the family of the girl to get money.. (before you start calling me racist, I'm Filipino and I know how poverty-stricken some of the bayans are)

okay i m skeptical but I also am a scientist so let us analyse it for a second, shall we?

In the current understanding of physics there are 4 groups of forces.
Gravity, Electromagnetism(noted EM in the rest of this post), strong interaction and weak interaction.

In order for something to burn it requires an increase in energy, that is to say an increased vibration of its atoms.

Now in order for gravity to heat something up it requires a movement and a high speed, the heating then occuring through friction (think about a shuttle reentering atmosphere, or a meteor).
This is obviously not the case here.

weak and strong interaction only occur at atomic/molecular distances and cannot be the cause here either, the distance being way too big

So we re left with EM.

If the girl were radiating EM, everything would burn between said girl and the target object, and even all around her (it s extremely likely that such a radiating EM field be isotropic, unless emited by a specific organ in a mono directionnal way, i ll come back to this later).

Now the fact that it seems to only happen (once again i m considering the OP post as true, for the sake of demonstration) when she says the word fire is interesting. Voice indeed travel rather forward, creating waves in the air (that generates sound).
the only way for this to heat up an object to the point of burning would be to heat the specific resonance frequency of one of the material composing the direct.

Let s imagine a pure iron target. If "fire" was introducing a resonance then the target would resonate (ofc) and be destroyed (structural rupture, but not fire!)

In order to cause fire one element inside a polymaterial structure has to resonate, that creates a friction with the other elements and the whole things eventually burns.

But that would be extremly situational and highly unlikely (though physically possible, if a material had a resonating frequency alike one of the word "fire", yet the voice is only between 20Hz and 20kHz and not powerful enough to generate such a vibration in a solid object)


All in all, this doesnt seem possible

Unfortunately you shared this on the Internet, which means nobody will believe you regardless if it's true or not. Personally I'll wait until they do it in a controlled environment to make an opinion.

They're not gonna keep up this "hoax". Chances are, there will never be any update to this news ever again.
