The Mystery of Hollinwell
In July 1980 at the Hollinwell showground in Kirky-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, around 300 children suddenly suffered from a mysterious illness.
The children were supposed to be taking part in playing in various bands, but collapsed within minutes.
Many were vomiting and were complaining of painful headaches.
Up to 259 people were treated in hospital following the event, without a clear explanation for the cause of the illness.
Some people have blamed an outbreak of mass hysteria, while others have put forward a possible toxic pesticide was used at the event.
