Hollinwell incident : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hollinwell incident The Hollinwell incident refers to an unexplained event in July 1980 when around 300 children suffered fainting attacks, nausea, and other symptoms. The incident happened at the Hollinwell Showground in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, in Nottinghamshire, England, and the exact cause has never been determined. The two leading theories relate to mass hysteria and the use of pesticides in nearby fields. ==Background== In 1980 the Hollinwell Show, an annual event at the Hollinwell Showground near Kirkby-in-Ashfield, took place on Sunday 13 July.〔 As part of the event the Forest League of Juvenile Jazz Bands decided to hold a charity show,〔 creating a Junior Brass and Marching Band competition, with entrants coming from across the East Midlands.〔 Around 500 children from 11 marching bands were in attendance, many of them brought in by coaches from up to away. With the show scheduled to begin at 9am, many of the children were tired from their journeys and nervous about performing.〔
