I wonder if spontaneous human combustion has anything to do with ball lightening, which can appear anywhere for seemingly any or no reason. In THIS case, the lightening thought it had a ground, but the soles of the shoes tricked it into a form of capacitance that reacted with the natural capacitance in the ground, triggering a reversal of polarity inside the guy, which acted to repel him away from his shoe-sole capacitors.
