Episode description
Throughout history, human beings from time to time have shown a propensity to, shall we say... follow the crowd. Sometimes doing so leads to a group of people engaging in what is known as "Mass Psychogenic Illness", or "Mass Hysteria". We explore some examples recent and old, from the ridiculous to the disturbing, and even some examples that tend to repeat themselves.
