Hey Spooksters! This week we are discussing The Dancing Plague of 1518. This strange case of dancing mania occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace, in the Holy Roman Empire from July 1518 to September 1518. It has been reported that up to 400 people took to dancing for weeks. We'll discuss some history, the almost month long event, theories, and more!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
