Can you give more nutty historical events that seem fictional?

The Salem Witch Trials are really crazy. In 1692 - 1693 in Salem, Massachusetts, many people, mostly women, were accused of being witches. Hysteria spread throughout the community. People were condemned based on flimsy evidence like strange behavior or dreams. Innocent lives were lost, and it's just so hard to believe that such mass paranoia and false accusations could happen in real history.

One such event is the Dancing Plague of 1518. In Strasbourg, France, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the street and couldn't stop. This then spread to around 400 people who danced for days, some even to the point of exhaustion and death. It's so strange that it seems like it could be from a fictional story.

The story of the Princes in the Tower is also quite nutty. In 1483, King Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, were placed in the Tower of London by their uncle, Richard III. They were never seen again. There are many theories about their fate, ranging from being murdered to escaping and living in secrecy. It's like a real - life mystery thriller.

Antiquarian fiction. This term is not as commonly used as the others, but it refers to fiction that has a strong focus on antiquity or ancient history. It might involve elements such as ancient civilizations, their cultures, and their myths.

Sure. In 'Alice in Wonderland', when Alice keeps growing and shrinking unexpectedly. It's embarassing as she can't control her size and has to deal with the reactions of the strange creatures she meets. For instance, when she gets stuck in the White Rabbit's house because she has grown too large.

Sure. Take the succession in the Roman Empire. The back story often involved military might and political intrigue. For example, when Augustus became the first emperor, the back story included the end of the Roman Republic, with years of civil wars. His adoption by Julius Caesar was a crucial part of the back story as it gave him a claim to power. And there were also rivalries among other powerful figures in Rome at the time.

One example is the Trojan War. A huge war fought over a woman, Helen, with a giant wooden horse used as a ruse. It seems like something out of a fantastical story but is part of ancient history.

Sorry, without more context, I can't provide more details on the '2019 Fargo True Story'.

Yes. Writers often use techniques to make fictional stories seem true. They might use real - life situations as inspiration and then fictionalize them. For instance, a story about a small - town mystery might draw on the typical layout and social dynamics of real small towns. Also, by using a narrative voice that sounds trustworthy and adding in details that seem like they could be real, a fictional story can be made to seem like a true one.
