I've seen some strange claims about this that seem impossible to refute. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=spontaneous+human+combustion

I don't think its false, just rare.
I was going to give you links on the topic but it seems you have already looked at them. I remember reading about this topic when I was a youth. There are several accounts of it and scientific evidence that suggest that it is possible. Just don't see why all of it would be made up. Plus, as you said, there is just so much information it seems difficult to argue that it's impossible or false.
Maybe you haven't tried this information site.

I've heard claim that it isn't, and claim that it is. I'm a scientist, and personally, I think that it's not likely. My reasoning, the term "spontaneous" means essentially without cause or provocation. i think that if somebody were to burst into flames, there's a reason for it, whether it's because they were wearing flammable clothes or perfume in a really really hot area, or their blood cells roughed up the insides of their arteries and caused flames (both of which are really crappy, personal explanations for combustion that would seem spontaneous).

my high school friend used to go on and on about it. I'm do not believe that it is impossible eespeciialy if a person experiences some sort of digestive blockage.
