THE MIDNIGHT BOX — EPISODE 5
“THE DANCING PLAGUE OF 1518 — A QUIET HISTORY”
Narrator: Vesper Kline
Tone: Calm • Reflective • Human • Historical

Good evening.
This is Vesper Kline, and you’re listening to The Midnight Box —
a quiet space for late-night stories, gentle histories, and the quieter corners of the human past.

Tonight’s long-form episode explores The Dancing Plague of 1518,
a strange and heartbreaking event that took place in the city of Strasbourg
when hundreds of people began to dance without rest,
without joy,
and without the ability to stop.

This is not a story of terror or superstition.
It is a story of human exhaustion,
faith,
fear,
and survival in a time when life asked more from people than they had to give.

Through quiet storytelling and historical context,
we explore the city, the people, the emotional landscape,
the attempted cures,
the pilgrimage to Saverne,
and what modern historians now understand about this event.

Thank you for spending your evening with me.

Until next time…
be well,
stay curious,
and let the night be gentle.
