Unexplained Phenomenon Of The Dancing Mania That Occurred During The Middle Ages

Ellen Lloyd – MessageToEagle.com – We live in a world full of mysteries and we often come across intriguing stories dealing with unexplained phenomenon that make us even more curious about the realms we inhabit.

One such baffling event took place during the Medieval period in Europe.

In July of 1374 in Aachen, Germany, a dozens of villages along the Rhine River were suddenly swept by a dancing plague called choreomania. For no apparent reason hundreds of people took to the streets leaping, jerking, and hopping to music.

The strange thing was that no-one else could hear the music except for those who danced. How was that possible?

Another odd aspect of this story is that these people didn’t want to stop dancing.

They did eat, drink or sleep. All they did was dancing, shouting, and hallucinating for days.

Sometimes, even when they fell, they continued to dance while they were on the ground. Obviously they couldn’t control their movements until finally their weakened bodies collapsed from exhaustion.
