In this episode, I dive into one of the strangest events in history - the Dancing Plague of 1518. Picture it: hundreds of people in 16th-century Strasbourg, dancing uncontrollably for days on end, some even to the point of death. Was it mass hysteria, poisoned bread, or divine punishment? Join me as we unravel the mystery behind this bizarre event and explore the human mind’s wildest corners. Keep grooving, but not too much—just in case!
