About this episode
The episode explores a bizarre historical event where nuns in a French convent began to act like cats, leading to military intervention and questions about supernatural influences.
During the Middle Ages, a French convent experienced an epidemic like no other—the nuns couldn’t stop acting like cats. The behavior was so strange it caused an army to intervene. But it’s not the only time in history a plague like this has affected nuns—which makes many wonder if it’s the work of the devil himself.
