An article on Curious Archive describes the meowing nuns of France. Purportedly an example of mass hysteria, the phenomenon started with one medieval nun meowing like a cat and continued until other nuns in the convent joined in. The nuns were reportedly so loud they disturbed the citizens of the town below the convent. Eventually, the police were sent in and the threat of whipping put an end to the clatter. No one ever explained why the meowing started in the first place.
Mass hysteria? Bored nuns? Demonic curse? What do you think caused the nuns to go catty? What happens next?
