We were joined for our first expert interview of the season by John Waller, historian at the Michigan State University. We discuss the causes of the plague, why other possession epidemics were most prevelant amongst women, and what happened at the shrine of Saint Vitus. If you want to learn more about this topic, we recommend John's book "The Dancing Plague: The Strange, True Story of an Extraordinary Illness".
