    There really was more explanation for the Belgium Cola Hysteria. People can read more online but when they dug into the details they found that of the original complaining kids, most were from a school and region and families that rarely allowed the kids soda pop.
    Each child was allowed a single can of coke. A number of students did not want to drink the coke and gave it away to some students who, in particular boys, were delighted to quickly guzzle their extras or just all their cans. 1 boy had drank 3 cans of coke within 30 minutes.
    However, even the children who'd only drank their own single can were found to have never drank any kind of soda pops ever before and were surprised to burp. Others a sugar high and otherwise a very standard case of what mom warned you about if you gobbled sugar.. the standard sugary upset tummy. Happens every halloween a million times too.

    I was a victim of my own hysteria when I was like 13. I was becoming more aware of my health and therefore more aware of what I eat, and I somehow convinced myself I had diabetes because of how much sugar I had. Now if you don’t know one of the symptoms of diabetes is extreme thirst which causes them to drink a lot and of course having to pee a lot. Suddenly when I convinced myself I had diabetes I was going to the toilet like every hour. I wasn’t thirsty at all and yet I was going every hour. My mum took me to the doctor, they did a lot of tests and they said that I did not in fact have diabetes but they also couldn’t find anything wrong with me that could have caused me to go the bathroom that many times. Then after like 2 weeks of this and I was 100% sure I did not have diabetes it completely stopped and it hasn’t happened again since. I was convinced I had some other illness but looking back I think I was just super anxious, which is what my mum and the doctors suggested it was. Also didn’t help that I didn’t drink much water during the time cause I was so sick of going to the toilet I stopped drinking so that probably confused my body even more

      A lot of nuns started life at the convent really young, very much pre-puberty, so they might as well be teens who did the most boring chores every same day trying to have some fun - with the grown ones, that knew nothing much beyond the covent walls, being in on the joke and jumping in out of similar boredom.
      Which frankly? Good for them. Same.
      Meanwhile young monks were all night preaching in fright, drenched in cold sweat, terrified of the wrath of God because “their pp was sinfully hard”.

    My grandad is one of the kids who helped start the Liverpool Leprechaun rumour. He was about 14 or 15, hanging out at a park with a friend, and they decided to tell some younger kids they had seen a pixie or a leprechaun or something, and it spread from there. He kept it up and told my mum and uncle when they were young that he'd seen them. It was only when they were older he said "oh yeah, I made it all up back then to mess with some of the other kids". Gotta love your family legacy being mass hysteria 🤣

    I remember after 9/11 everyone was freaked out about anthrax being sent through the mail. I'm a New Yorker, so I was already experiencing some PTSD, but I was completely freaked out if I saw any kind of powder anywhere or even just smelled something odd. I don't think anthrax even has a smell, but you know how you'll be sitting in a room and smell something and not be able to figure out where it's coming from? Well, post-9/11, my brain automatically went to "we're all going to die" whenever that happened.
    You hear some of these stories and wonder what the people were thinking, but it really doesn't take much. We were all in a heightened state of panic and it escalated quickly.

    There's Paris shock syndrome, which is kind of like a mass hysteria lite. Japanese people who go to Paris are often so shocked between their expectations and reality and can become really depressed. From Wikipedia: The syndrome is characterized by a number of psychiatric symptoms such as acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution (perceptions of being a victim of prejudice, aggression, hostility from others),[1] derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, as well as psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia, sweating most notably, but also others, such as vomiting.[2]

      I guess it’s the shock of having this image built up over a lifetime and finally making a trek over there to have the image brutally shattered.

    as for the blackburn faintings, i can attest to it being VERY mental. anxiety can absolutely cause one to lose consciousness. i passed out in high school once because my teacher was describing what happens to a body during crucifixion (it was an ancient history class i went to public school) and a mix of not eating breakfast, having done the pacer test that morning in gym (lol) and hearing gory stuff and him prefacing it saying people had thrown up hearing it before is what caused me to pass out. after that I was terrified of anything gory but specifically when i was in school, and i ended up passing out during a drivers ed video where they talked about horrific 911 calls and how they collect bodies from crashes. gory stuff had NEVER bothered me before and no longer bothered me once i left high school. but there were multiple times i had to FIGHT not to pass out because my body associated passing out with hearing about anything gory in school. my sister had something similar where she passed out while handing in an assignment in a college lecture and after that her anxiety was so bad she missed a lot of that class in particular. her brain associated that class specifically with passing out and she felt like if she went she would pass out again. it was a long time ago so I don’t know if she did end up passing out again, but I know it severely affected her grade.

    True story, my family suffered an isolated case of mass hysteria that lasted years.
    Full story as short as I can make it: Me and my two younger sisters started talking on the Ouija board, didn't know any rules, didn't follow any of them. Incidents started happening, and I do still believe a small percentage was true hauntings. (say 25%)
    BUT.
    After my (alcoholic) mother became aware of these, she began experiencing incidents too, and further terrified me and my sisters, especially my oldest sister, who claimed some next level demon sh*t, such as possession , growling and threatening to kill one of my younger sisters.
    My mother's bf we would later find out was a manipulative narcissist, so wr believe he was tricking my mother, orchestrating a lot of incidents, who, do to being an alcoholic was very easy to fool.
    Anyway, it was out of control. Wake up with a scratch? Scratched by the devil in your sleep. (this was me) Front yard is packed full of dead people none of us can see. (Older sis) Every bump, every stranger noise, every item falling, it was a ghost. Siblings wouldn't sleep alone, and it genuinely got to the point that my mother was calling priests. (3 total)
    Again, there were a few things that I genuinely believe were true hauntings, and we may have even created our own poltergeists with how badly we freaked out. The thought of the few genuine spirits we may have summoned watching us panic at every gust of wind is hilarious.
    So, eventually I ended up going to live with my dad for unrelated reasons, but go figure, once I was away from the mass panic, and my dad was like, "Ya'll are scaring the sh*t out of yourselves," things stopped happening, other than a few tiny things here and there. My two younger sisters also stayed with my dad and I for unrelated reason at different points, things stopped for them too.
    The three of us look back now and understand a small portion was real, but that the majority of it was mass hysteria and manipulation of my mom's bf to keep us all scared and easy to control.
    My older sister never really got out of his circle, even after my mom and he split, so she still believes much of that was real, and my mom stayed an alcoholic till death, so she always believed it.
    It was bonkers

    Fun fact! Sports curses actually have a long history. In Ancient Rome, there were these things called defixiones, or curse tablets. They were thin sheets of lead, inscribed with text which usually called upon either underworld deities or spirits of the deceased, asking them to place a curse on a specific target. (Sometimes they just list the names of targets.) Some were target towards business rivals, some towards thieves... and many curse tablets were addressed towards athletes, written by their opponents or particularly dedicated audience members. I can only assume that the average Roman sports game had so many curses flying around that they all cancelled each other out.

      I was a little kid at the time and I feel that it somewhat qualifies. There weren’t ever any actual killer clowns, at least not in the masses people were scared of. there were a couple of public pranks that started it iirc, which freaked out those communities who didn’t know it was a prank, which spread across the country. The only reason I’d be hesitant to call it mass hysteria is bc the panic was largely caused by shitty family vlog channels faking attacks for clout. In that way it feels more like a consciously created hoax that terrified dumb kids like me and their offline parents who didn’t know the context. Either way, while I can’t say there were ZERO people dressing up as clowns and assaulting others, it wasn’t an epidemic.

    I wanna give a bit more information on the Daycare Abuse story.
    So apparently a couple years before this there was a Therapist who used Hypnosis with one of his patients to recall Traumatic Memories from her past. This led to her remembering that she was being tortured by her parents as a part of a cult and that a ton of people were involved. Now this Therapist did the honorable thing and wrote a book and sold thousands of copies with the two becoming famous. Because of this book and event more people started using Hypnosis as a treatment to help recover lost memories with a surprising amount of children suddenly recalling that they were victims of abuse, many times at the hands of there parents or people they are nearby a bit. Another detail that is important due to the time period is a lot of these involved cult activity.
    On top of this many of these cases were being reported in the Newspapers and parents were getting arrested due to accusations from there Neighbors.
    Also Leading questions and Hypnosis were used a lot. If you know Anything about Hypnosis or the Human brain then you know exactly how bad an Idea this was lol.

    I have a fun mass hysteria story. In high school I was sitting in class and felt a tickle in my throat and I started coughing. I tried to keep it quiet but the girl next to me asked if I was ok and I told her I felt something in my nose and throat and she said she kinda did too and she started coughing. Then the whole class was coughing and our eyes started watering and the teacher thought we were pranking her but I know for a fact I felt something and none of the kids were faking either. Eventually we all left room and stopped coughing outside. I got in trouble for “causing mass hysteria” and tbh I believed it cuz I knew I felt something, I thought maybe I made the other kids start coughing. Flash forward a few years to last week, I was talking to my boyfriend about it (he was also in that class) and he started laughing and said that he knows why I was coughing. I sit one row away from the vent and the kid that sat behind me directly in front of it had poured some paprika in the vent and bragged about it after school, that’s why I was coughing. So I guess it wasn’t actually my fault 😂😂😂

    My favorite mass hysteria from a historical perspective will always be the War of the Worlds broadcast. For one, being a voice actor and seeing the effect that a well-put-together production like that was able to have is really cool. But I think the coolest thing I will associate with it will be a few years ago, our local radio station did a full re-enactment of the broadcast for the 80 Year (I think, I'm bad with math lol) anniversary of the original broadcast. One, getting the chance to see a radio production done live right in front of you is super cool, and they even went the extra mile for those of us watching in the studio by having everyone dressed in period-accurate clothing, and they even had an actor acting as one of the producers who was waving at the actors through the window in the studio to try and get them to stop the production, going so far as to hold up a sign that said, "People think this is real" on it. During the intermission that actor even came in and all the actors had the same conversation (though who knows if it was word-for-word accurate) that the actors and producers had when the broadcast first went live, discussing how to stop the mass panic. When the production was broadcasted on the actual radio that Friday (the recording happened on a Tuesday or Sunday I think) they didn't air that conversation, and obviously there was no way for those listening at home to see the visual gags of the producers trying to shut down the show. That was just for those of us there live in the studio. It was amazing just how dedicated they were to a full reenactment of the entirety of that broadcast, when the majority of the people experiencing it would never know about those things. Of course I did listen to the broadcast on Friday with my grandparents to get the full experience, and of course it was also amazing, and my grandma commented that "It really is easy to see how people thought this was real." One of my favorite historical moments, and definitely my favorite mass hysteria moment from history.

    Not really mass hysteria but there were a group of us at school (I think we were 12??) who all started panicking and even hallucinating on Halloween.
    If I think about it rationally my best guess as to how it happened is I started panicking cuz my friend was kinda out of it and someone came to the conclusion that he was possessed and then another one of our friends joined in on the panicking and eventually there were just four 6th grade kids sobbing and panicking over ghosts/demons/odd sightings and our teacher literally interviewed us one by one so she could figure out what tf had happened.
    Our entire class was just staring and four years later the kids still brought it up occasionally cuz they thought it was a weird prank.
    It was not and none of us really know what caused it

    I mean… for the Hollinwell Incident, assuming its marching band he’s refering to, those uniforms can get really hot. The chest usually has two layers, my band required long black socks to match (but some use white), and darker colors turn the thick uniform into an oven. Locking knees and directors not giving water breaks during practice can also cause fainting during or after the marching. Locking knees is a big one though. That’s my suspicion, either that or the director said what all can cause fainting and some people really took it to heart and just did it, but dehydration during/after practice would explain the fainting and sore throat in my head. Idk, it’s just an idea coming from an ex-band kid with fainting problems and not enough water breaks.

    The screaming/possessed schoolgirls are actually quite common in Malaysia. It is something that usually occurs to mostly Malay Muslim schoolgirls and women. There was even some research about the phenomenon. I actually saw one happening at my school some time ago, though only on one person (heard that there was actually a few people that 'kena rasuk' (possessed) that whole week however). The atmosphere of the school on that day quickly turned more silent.
    There was also an incident two years ago where doors of houses were mysteriously knocked on in the middle of the night. This originally occurred in one village in a state, but it later spread to other states, causing a mass hysteria of sort. Search 'Malaysia mysterious knockings'. There was even videos of it.

There is a psychological explanation for this kind of incidences, but I don't remember the exact explanation, other than that its related to stress.
      For the knockings one, there was a few news article stating that someone actually looked out and saw no one banging the door or looking at the CCTV but seeing no one outside. Some other logical explanations that I could think of are strong winds and animals. Interestingly, there was a similar case in the 90s involving a 'ghost' knocking on people's houses asking for milk for their child, which was said to have happen in a few states, though I have no idea if that actually happened or is just an urban legend.

      As a Malaysian I can vouch for this, victims of hysteria tend to be Malay Muslim school girls most probably because the girls could be on their period (menstrual blood is said to attract supernatural entities) and usually for some fucking reason female dorms are always the most haunted (a lot of dorms in Malaysia tend to be really haunted since they're surrounded by a lot of forests/or places with very strong supernatural presence) Also black magic here is a common practice in Malaysia esp among Malay folk so it's not too far-fetched or in fact such a common occurrence to see a student going thru hysteria/possessions.

    There is one very high profile case of mass hysteria that many just dismiss, seeing as everyone is aware of it but only at a surface level:
    *The Porygon incident/Dennō Senshi Porygon* in 1997
    As the story goes, this particular episode due to the flashing lights caused by Pikachu's Thundershock hitting some missiles, causing up to apparently 10k cases from some reports.
    The period of the year was most ripe, as it was a very stress heavy period for most middle schoolers as they were preparing their Middle Term exams, and high stress is very often present with Hysteria cases.
    The thing is, that everything goes to point out that at most there were around tens of cases (the night of the episode) _maybe_ , of which only 2 resulted in hospitalization whilst most of the others got better after immediate care (so only 2 important cases, which is more than 0 but nowhere near what many think).
    Many know that the news outlets were very stupid and showed the integral scene (which is where the tens of thousands of cases thing comes from), however it's INCREDIBLY unlikely that there were that many photosensitive epileptic people ALL watching those news. It's like every single person that could suffer from it was watching and the percentage of epileptic people vs not epileptic people currently watching Live was schewed boyond resonableness. It was basically a statistical anomaly.
    There is also one thing, maybe the most damning of all. Almost everyone that had reported having these cases did _NOT_ show epileptic seizures' typical signs. HOwever, all of them showed catatonic seizure signs, besided those 2 kids I mentioned earlier.
    So yeah, it's basically certainty that Mass hysteria caused this whole thing to be as big as it was.
    The parents probably caused most "cases" by calling each other asking for help/to warn them the first night, and the news did it again the second day on a much bigger scale

      The Porygon episode was on the first tier of the iceberg, but I agree he should have discussed it since the mass hysteria angle isn’t as commonly known. It was only recently that I saw the numbers broken down, before that I just remember seeing the 700-odd cases statistic being thrown around, and I assumed they were all genuine epileptic episodes. Nintendo’s outsized response- putting extensive health and safety preambles in their instruction guides, pretending Porygon doesn’t exist even though it wasn’t even Porygon’s fault, etc.- sort of lends the incident more weight as well. I wonder if those executives looked to the Belgian Coke debacle as a model of what to do the opposite of.

    Explaining the Portuguese story of the apparition of Mother Mary in Fátima (from a portuguese ex-catholic):
    It is said that these three children (Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta, ages 7 to 10) received either a divine "warning" saying Mother Mary would appear to them or that there would be a miracle (I don't remember exactly, I'm retelling this from memory). People did not believe them at first but then a bunch of people supposedly saw it happen like he tells in the video.
    Nowadays the children are known as Os Três Pastorinhos (The Three Little Shepherds) or Os Pastorinhos de Fátima (The Little Shepherds of Fátima) and statues of them are sold just like the statues of saints, I have one of Jacinta, given to me by my grandmother.
    This event is known as the apparition or the miracle of Our Lady of Fátima and is known in Portugal as an actual miracle to this day. Fátima is considered a sacred place and people travel there for religious reasons still. On may 13th we celebrate the day of Our Lady of Fátima.

    this happened to me once, but with fewer people. I was 17 and studying in a public technical high school. the government cut our food budget so we did not get food for a while. we decided to protest. we occupied the technical schools managing building. the police could not legally take us out, but they would scare us all the time. they would send our version of SWAT to the streets with guns and big cars, making noises and threatening us.
    on the third night, after 2 nights of staying up guarding the building and watching the police threat us, I went to sleep in the auditorium with some other people. we all woke up to police lights and sirenes. I remember the colora on the wall. we huddled together and it took us some time to realize we were in total darkness in a place it would be impossible to see police lights. there no windows and we were far from the street.
    we looked at each other and laughed from despair lol
    it was hard, but we were very stressed and sleep deprived.
    we got our food back tho! it took us 9 days at this location and then 11 at our actual school and worse situations but we did it!

    I shut down a restaurant. Installing signs, my ladder sparked rumour in the kitchen that painters were working. Kitchen staff began to suffer nausea and headache from chemical fumes. Then the floor staff joined in, refusing to work in toxic conditions. Kinda deadlocked, as they couldn't decide the source of this maybe odourless irritant... until I brought an unopened paint can from the truck and offered it as the scapegoat, I'd happily remove from the restaurant.

    The dancing plague situation is actually really messed up. Doesn't even matter what caused it, if it happened the way it is described,
    You are basically aware that something strange is happening to you, even if you want to stop moving your body it will not stop.
    After many hours you are completely exhausted to the point where you might enter a trance like state, mixed in with the fear of not knowing what is going on,
    and the feeling of helplessness since you can not stop it.
    After a while you are in severe pain, your muscles burn, your bones hurt, and people around you have been collapsing by now.
    You are crying and sobbing in tears, begging for it to stop. While your body keeps on dancing, as if your were possessed.
    And non of the by standers can do anything about it.
    This must have been a living nightmare for the victims and a horrific sight for those who witnessed it.
    No matter what caused it, this is a living nightmare an entire town witnessed/lived through.
    I would start believing in demons too if a ever saw that, especially back then.
    If it ever happened in that way, might be made up. People have been lying back then as much as today...

      They believe it was caused by a fungus on the grain that had hallucinogenic affects and when the 1st person tripping from the fungus began to dance, everyone would join her when they started trippin too and they danced till they sobered up basically lol

    • @sam-psonsmith9951
      @sam-psonsmith9951 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      ​@@unchargedpickles6372 if you take the eye witness accounts for real, it doesn't really seem to fit the description.
      For one, supposedly there was random people joining in over a day after it had begun. they were fine one minute and suddenly they joined in the dancing, (not in joy and fun, but full of fear and crying)
      Next problem i have with a bad trip as an explanation.
      Is the part that even when people have some kind of shared bad trip, most of them sooner or later would just give in to the pain. They would drop once their feet are actually braking.
      But according to eye witnesses, people kept dancing, with broken bones and feet so sore you could see the bloody flesh.
      People died of exhaustion because their body literally danced until they died.
      I don't think that a bad mushroom trip would cause such an event to go on for days and have the same effect on all the people there, but no other effects on any other people in town elsewhere.
      Mushroom trip sounds like and answer someone came up with in 5 minutes because they didn't have anything good.
      EDIT: Oh and another problem, if they just had a bad trip why did most of them supposedly know that something was happening to them and kept asking for help. Based on descriptions they didn't seem to have any hallucinations or other mental effects.

    The Malaysian screaming schoolgirls thing is pretty common in SEA countries in general. In my home country, Indonesia, we call it "kerasukan" (lit. Possession), it's so common that almost every year you got at least 2-3 news about it in TV each year. As far as I know, almost all cases of it happens in public school and coincide with high stress (like national finals) or something spiritual (like a big tree which is believed to hold spirits, being cut down), as such I never saw it myself, but from recording of it that I saw, it looks like people genuinely lost control of themselves because once they're "cured", they're unconscious, supernatural or not, it's still really weird how they seemingly lost control of their body
