Smithell's "cold flame experiment," in which phosphorus vapor is oxidized at slightly above room temperature (25 degrees Celcius), produces a flame cool enough to hold your hand in. There are directions on how to run the experiment on the reference site in the section "The Glow of Phosphorus."

The one in the film 'She'. When the light of the full moon struck it it became cold and anyone that stepped in it was given eternal youth, but don't step in it twice or the gift is taken away. Terrible if you've lived a few hundred years.

dunno... but substances like ether burn at really low temperatures (35deg celsius)... some other things don't burn until they're several hundred degrees...
