The Disappearance of Sydney West & The Dancing Plague of 1518


Listen Later

In this episode of Grim & Guilty, we uncover two mysteries separated by centuries.

First, we look into the chilling disappearance of 19-year-old Sydney West, who vanished near San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in 2020 without a trace. Then, we travel back to 1518, when hundreds of people in Strasbourg danced uncontrollably for days — a strange phenomenon that ended in exhaustion, madness, and death.
