Summary

In the city of Strasbourg, Alsace (modern-day France), a mysterious plague gripped between 50 - 400 townsfolk. This plague was not bacterial or viral, but rather an epidemic of dancing. Beginning with one woman and infecting possibly hundreds of individuals over the course of many days, some danced themselves into a delirium while others danced themselves to death. What could have been the cause for this strange affliction? Join us on this mini episode of Let's Get Haunted and hear Nat tell Aly the story of The Dancing Plague of 1518. Also check out our friends over at Monsters Among Us who we did our first ever promo swap with on this episode! http://www.monstersamonguspodcast.com
