Check out Hidden History! In this preview, Dr. Harini Bhat discusses the Dancing plague of 1518. The city of Strasbourg was overtaken by one of the strangest epidemics in recorded history. It wasn't the plague, it wasn't a war, it was dancing. Dr. Harini Bhat is a clinical pharmacist and storyteller obsessed with the moments in history that still can't be fully explained. Every week she investigates real events that defy easy explanation. Mass hysterias. Vanished civilizations. Medical oddities. Strange signals. Unexplained phenomena that keep repeating across centuries, as if history is trying to tell us something. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
