On today's episode, Michael tells us about the Dancing Plague of 1518 which was most definitely not fun for one and all. It may or may not have been caused by a curse, moldy bread, or wives needing a spa day.
Then Wendy provides us with some Scandinavian folklore about the Gjenganger and the Draugr. Basically super old school zombies or ghost zombie hybrids out for revenge.
**Nerd Alert** Unfortunately, there is no Skyrim talk anywhere in this episode.
