00:00imagine this you're walking through an old library dusty books line the shelves pages untouched for
00:15centuries but inside these pages are not just records of kings wars and inventions hidden
00:20within them are whispers of strange events prophecies unexplained disasters and mysteries
00:24no one can solve today we're going to ask a question most historians avoid could history
00:29itself be hiding supernatural secrets stay with me because by the end of this video you might
00:35never see the past the same way again history is often taught as a collection of dates and events
00:41a straight timeline from the past to the present but look closer and you'll find stories that
00:46challenge everything we think we know could some of the world's most important events have been
00:51influenced by forces beyond human understanding of course skeptics will tell you it's all superstition
00:57or coincidence they'll say history is written by the victors and strange events are just exaggerated
01:02myths but when the same kinds of bizarre stories appear in different cultures across different
01:08centuries you have to wonder what's really going on
01:11let's start with one of the most famous names in mysterious history nostradamus in the 1500s this
01:31french apothecary wrote hundreds of cryptic verses over the centuries people have claimed his writings
01:36predicted events like the french revolution the rise of napoleon even the great fire of london
01:41were these just vague lines people interpreted after the fact or was nostradamus truly able to see into
01:48the future and if he could where did this ability come from divine inspiration some kind of supernatural gift
01:56before you decide let's move to a case so strange that even modern science struggles to explain it
02:23this one didn't just involve one person it swept through an entire city
02:28in 1518 the city of strassbourg faced something bizarre the dancing plague
02:33it began with one woman dancing in the street
02:36hours passed then days and she didn't stop
02:40soon dozens joined her
02:43then hundreds
02:45they danced until their feet bled until they collapsed from exhaustion and some never got up again
02:50was it a disease mass hysteria or could it have been something more a curse perhaps
02:58or an unseen force compelling them to move and the dancing plague is just one example
03:03history is full of strange and unexplained events
03:07in 1908 a massive explosion in tunguska siberia flattened 80 million trees yet no impact crater
03:24was ever found the voynich manuscript a centuries-old book written in a language no one can read still
03:30baffles experts and across ancient cultures from the mayans to the greeks we find stories of visions
03:36omens and supernatural signs that supposedly shaped empires
03:40so here's the question are all these just coincidences and creative storytelling
03:45or is there a deeper truth we're missing
03:48could supernatural forces have guided or disrupted
03:52the course of human history
03:55maybe the past isn't as silent as we think
03:58maybe it's still speaking if we know how to listen
04:01what do you think
04:03is the supernatural woven into the fabric of history or is it all just imagination
