About
Witches were accused and executed in Salem, while possessed nuns meowed and had seizures across Europe. Hand-trembling epidemics spread among Swiss and German boarding schools, and laughing attacks were widespread among Tanzanian girl students. Female adolescents in Afghanistan experienced fainting outbreaks, while over 600 boarding school girls in Mexico suddenly lost the ability to walk straight. In Cambodian garment factories, thousands of women have inexplicably fainted during the last decade, and American cheerleaders tick compulsively and have seizures without a biological explanation.
