@stranger.than.life: The Dancing Plague of 1518 In 1518 Strasbourg, France, hundreds of people began dancing uncontrollably—some until they collapsed or died. It started with one woman and spread to around 400 people. Authorities even hired musicians, thinking it would help, but the dancing only got worse. The cause? Still a mystery. Theories range from mass hysteria to hallucinogenic mold or even religious fear. After weeks, the dancing finally stopped, but no one knows why it began. #historytok #dancingplague #strange #horrortok #ancienthistory #timemachine #weird
