Default "It's the devil !!!"

Really strange story and interisting insight into mass hysteria.

A large family jumps from second floor windows to flee 'the devil'.

Nice to see these types of idiots don't only live in the US. It's heartening in that sense.

Oh, not at all. The Dancing Manias were all the rage in 16th Century Europe.

11 People in one room. and they can be scared so much with "the devil!!!!" that they rather jump from the second floor than checking what's really going on?
Makes you wonder whether those people are native French....
