The Town that Danced to Death

When we speak of the word "plague", a plague that caused people to dance uncontrollably and relentlessly usually isn't what comes to mind. It sounds like a curse out of a fantasy book, but the dancing plague actually took place in history! In this episode of Random Facts for Random People, we will discuss one of the strangest plagues that struck the town of Strasbourg and the possible explanations behind the people's frenzied dance. Happy listening!
