24 June 1374 - DANCING IN THE STREETS CAUSES ALARM IN GERMANY:
Originating in Aachen, Germany, in 1374, the world’s worst outbreak of dancing mania quickly spread to towns in Belgium and the Netherlands
along the Rhine River.

Afflicted villagers took to the streets by the hundreds, dancing to
music nobody else could hear. Whether their writhing, jerking movements constituted dancing or something else entirely, those affected were
seemingly in a trance, unable to control their bodies.

Onlookers spoke of the dancing maniacs as wild, frenzied and
hallucinating. Some dancers screamed and cried out in pain, but they
couldn’t stop.

Barely able to eat or sleep, they danced until their bloodied feet could
no longer hold them up, whereupon they collapsed with exhaustion.

The dancing mania went on for weeks, affecting thousands of people.
Then, almost as suddenly as it had started, it ended.
