Picture it: a fairground in Nottinghamshire, England, July 1980, over 500 young students assembled to compete in a marching band competition when, suddenly, they start passing out by the dozens. This is exactly what occurred during the Hollinwell Incident.

Later on, many of the victims would describe feeling faint and nauseous. One girl is reported to have said, “My legs and arms felt as if they had no bones in them, and I had a bad headache.” Despite so many cases among the students, most of whom were taken to the hospital, no cause was ever found for the phenomenon.

There was speculation about nerves getting the better of the children and causing mass hysteria. While being nervous before a big performance is normal, it seems unlikely to have effect so many students so strongly. However, there is no evidence to support any of the other theories, which include food poisoning, radio waves, and pesticides from a nearby field.

Do nerves hold you back? Stop you from applying for a new job? Keep you from building a better life? Make you unsure about accepting a new opportunity?
