Demonic possession? Mass Hysteria? Seizures brought on by ingesting a deadly mold? Or was it the hand of God? In 1518 in the town of Strasbourg, France, a strange and deadly curse appeared to grip the town as the inhabitants began to dance uncontrollably, not just for a night, but for weeks on end, beyond the edge of sanity and self-harm, people literally danced themselves to death!

The Searchers, Ray Causey, Shane Pittman and Josh Purvis tie up their dancing shoes to enter this mosh pit from hell to deconstruct the story and discuss the theories surrounding the Dancing Plague of 1815. 

Shane opens up about the similarities to an event in his life that he was an active participant in, taking the discussion in an interesting direction.
