NOT A True Crime Tuesday

Have you ever looked around and realized everyone is panicking… but no one can explain why?

In this episode of Don’t Quote Me… It’s Probably Nothing, we’re talking about mass hysteria and collective delusions the moments in history when large groups of people fully lost the plot together.

We get into:

• What mass hysteria actually is (and why our brains are so susceptible to it)
• The Dancing Plague of 1518, when people literally danced themselves to exhaustion
• The War of the Worlds radio broadcast that convinced America aliens were invading
• The Satanic Panic, when fear outran facts
• Modern internet-era hysteria, panic trends, and why group think spreads faster than logic

This isn’t about people being stupid, it’s about being human.
Anxious, social, pattern-seeking humans with Wi-Fi.

No true crime.
No heavy stuff.
Just history, psychology, and a reminder to maybe pause before joining the panic.
