This week we dive into two mysterious phenomenon from history: the dancing plague and spontaneous human combustion. The first took place in mainly medieval times, with hundreds of people dancing themselves to the point of exhaustion, sometimes ending in death. The second is a supposed situation where a person randomly bursts into flame and burns completely without any evident external ignition source or accelerant helping them burn. We look at possible causes and try to find the truth in these strange happenings.
