Dancing Plague of 1518
In an attempt to wrestle my humble website from being a chore and instead a natural extension of my rambling mind, I bring you a new type of post named: "Hard To Believe" (please excuse my abuse of quotation):
"The Dancing Plague of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, France in July 1518. The outbreak began when a woman, Frau Troffea, began to dance fervently in a street... Within a week, 34 others joined, and within a month, there were around 400 dancers."
"Over the period of about one month, most of the people died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion."
