There's the story of the Dancing Plague of 1518. In Strasbourg, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the street. And then, inexplicably, more and more people joined in, dancing for days on end without rest. Some even died from exhaustion. It's a very strange and unbelievable event that still puzzles historians today.
