Robert E. Bartholomew. McFarland & Co., Inc. Publishers, Box 611, Jefferson, NC 28640. 2001. ISBN 0-7864-0997-5. 292 PP. Softcover, $29.95. Foreword by Erich Goode. A series of case studies of mass hysteria and delusions. Bartholomew begins with a concise history of mass hysteria and social delusions.
Sections then deal with mass hysteria in closed settings (schools and work), mass hysteria in communities (mad gassers, the Pokemon TV show sickness, the medieval dancing sickness), collective delusions (penis vanishing panics; imaginary air raids on Canada; the phantom sniper of Esher, England; ghost rockets; the Roswell crashed-UFO myth; the Martian invasion panic), and major issues and future directions.
