Wunderground received strange reports this week from a New York nightclub where an estimated 95% of the people present in a were seen to be making what witnesses described as “strange movements with their bodies that seemed to almost go in rhythm to the music being played”.
It’s not yet known what caused the outbreak of strange behaviour but it is believed that this is not an isolated incident with reports coming from nightclubs all across the world that this strange activity is also taking place beneath their roofs.
“Well I was ready for a night of hard listening to music while sitting or standing perfectly still,” claimed eye witness Gerard Byrne. “I like to go clubbing and just appreciate the music being played while enjoying a drink or cigarette.”
“But on the night in question I walked into the club and I was terrified by what I saw. I don’t know if I can explain it,” he continued, “but it was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in my life. Everybody was moving their bodies, not in a functional way like you would when exercising or eating food. It was sort of like as if it was for pleasure.”
“It’s like they had a special floor area designated for the people,” continued Gerard. “They weren’t doing it around the bar area or in the toilets for example, it was only happening on a specific portion of the floor space just in front of the DJ.”
Describing some of the “movements” that he saw the people doing Gerard said that “it definitely looked like it was related in some weird way to the music. People were moving along with the beat by throwing their hands in the air or, if there was a piano bit, doing air piano with their fingers.”
Gerard claimed that people in the nightclub acted like everything was perfectly normal and the weird movements seemed to be an accepted part of the nightclub but that he’d never seen anything like it before and was terrified by the synchronised, almost cultish nature of the evening.
“When I spoke to some of the people there about what they were doing they said it was something called dancing or prancing,” offered Gerard. “I’m not sure which, but you could tell from the glazed look in their eyes that something wasn’t right and that this ‘dancing’ thing was giving them some sort of release or pleasure.”
“I’ll never go back there again that’s for sure,” concluded Gerard. “There was a point in the night when a particular track was played and everyone of them almost in sync began hollering and whistling. Some were slapping the palms of their hands against each other at the same time. Easily the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.”
