About this episode
In Medieval Europe there were all sorts of illnesses and outbreaks, but none were as strange as the dancing plague. Those affected would dance for days without being able to stop. At the time people believed the dancing was caused by mischievous demons, and there's still no scientific explanation. Athena and Tiernan have gathered all the evidence, do you think you, our Chief Detectives, can find the real explanation? *** If your chief detectives want to hear more from the investigations, including more compelling evidence and extra fun facts, then you can become a paid subscriber of the show.
