Episode 4 - Plague & Pestilence - The Dancing Plague Of 1518

On July 14, 1518, a woman identified only as Frau Troffea stepped out of her house in Strasbourg, Alsace -- in what is now France -- and started to dance. After many hours, drenched in sweat and twitching, she finally collapsed. Then, a few hours later, she got up and started again -- and then again the next day. By the third day, her feet were bruised and blood soaked through her shoes, but still she continued to dance.  https://allthatsinteresting.com/dancing-plague   Credits:  https://allthatsinteresting.com/podcast-credits
