00:00What if your feet refused to stop dancing, even when your bones begged for mercy?

00:04In July 1518, in Strasbourg, one woman stepped into the street and never stopped.

00:09At first, they laughed, a lone dancer, possessed by joy or madness.

00:14But by sunset, dozens had joined her, then hundreds, their bodies jerked and spun under the blistering sun.

00:20Bleeding feet, broken ribs, still, they danced.

00:24No music, no rest, just terror in their eyes and sweat-drenched prayers on their lips.

00:30City leaders called it hot blood.

00:31They brought in musicians to help them dance it out.

00:33The air stank of fear and rotting flesh.

00:36Mothers collapsed mid-spin.

00:37Lovers screamed as partners twitched into the grave.

00:40Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped.

00:43The square emptied silence, no explanation, just echoes of footfalls and the stench of something ancient.

00:48Some say it was hysteria, others whisper of curses, but deep under Strasbourg, in tunnels sealed for centuries, drums still echo.

00:56And sometimes, only sometimes, people say they hear tapping in the night.
