Mystery Facts #2:
In July 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea turned onto a narrow street in Strasbourg and was suddenly compelled to start dancing. This convulsive, involuntary dancing fever gripped her for days, and then began to grip others. About 400 people were infected with the so-called “dancing plague” over the next month. This was all totally groovy until people started to collapse from exhaustion or die from heart attacks and strokes. This went on until September, when the dancers were taken to a mountaintop shrine to pray for absolution.

The dance plague in Strasbourg may sound like a legend, but it is recorded in detail in historical writings from the 16th century. Also, it is not the only known case of this kind. Similar mania occurred in Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands, though not as great and deadly as the one of 1518.
