 Crime Salad's Weird History: The Dancing Plague of 1518 | The Dead Dance

In the summer of 1518, the people of Strasbourg started dancing… and just didn’t stop. No, seriously—they danced for days, some even to their deaths. Was it a curse? A case of mass hysteria? Or just some really bad moldy bread? In this fun bonus episode, Ashley and Ricky are taking a little break from true crime to bring you something weird from history. Don’t worry—our regular weekly crime episodes aren’t going anywhere. We just love strange stories and history… and we love you. Thanks for listening and keeping things crunchy!
