It was laughter—violent, uncontrollable, and utterly joyless. Girls collapsed. Villagers shook with convulsions. Officials arrived. Doctors left. And the sound never really stopped.This is the chilling true story of the Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic—a mass hysteria event that spread across communities, defied science, and left survivors questioning whether it ever really ended.
