The Dancing Plague of 1518

In 1518 in Strasbourg, Alsace, a woman began dancing in the street. She danced for 4 to 6 days and was joined by 34 others within a week. Within a month, 400 people were dancing in the streets. Many died from heart attacks, stroke or exhaustion. Why? NO ONE KNOWS!!!

Battle Los Angeles

LaBAT

At around 3am on February 25th, 1942, the US Army began firing at an unknown object, or possibly multiple objects, over Los Angeles. After half an hour of intense shelling the firing stopped and when the smoke cleared nothing was found. No enemy aircraft. No enemy wreckage. No enemy casualties. If there was nothing there then what were they firing at?

Holes!

This week we look at three smaller mysteries that are similar and try to get to the bottom of things.

Mel’s hole

Mel Waters called in to the Art Bell show in 1997 and described a “bottomless” hole located on his property. To this day no one has ever seen it besides Mel and a man by the name of Red Elk.

All about Mel and his holes

Devil Kettle Falls

One half of the Brule River flows over a waterfall and continues to flow downstream until it meets Lake Superior, the other half pours directly into a hole and disappears. Where does all that water go?
Some science about the hole
Even more about the hole and a great video

The Band of Holes

On the side of the Nazca plateau in Peru there is a band of holes carved into the side of the mountain. They extend for over a mile and to this day nobody know who or why they were carved.

New theories have been brought forward about the actual path that Flight MH370 took and the are even backed up by math. In this mini episode we talk about these new theories about the course of the plane and what they mean to the search.

Some of our Research:
The plane is in Pakistan
The course plot is wrong

The Nazi Bell

NaziBell

An old Polish intelligence file reveals the confession of a Nazi war criminal that the Germans were developing something which might have changed the course of WWII. Was the Nazi Bell a super weapon? An anti-gravity device? A time machine? And where did it disappear to?
