In the 1930s Bali became famous in Europe for film footage of the Shanghyang Dedali, a trance induced by witchdoctors in Nusa Dua. It involves 12-year-old girls being possessed to dance by angels.
The angels are said to dance through the children's bodies, and it is the freakiest thing going. Even with eyes shut, the girls dance in unbroken unison.
This one looks real indeed. I don't know how they get in such a trance, but I'm always amazed because the dancers don't bump into each other.

How did they get this? This one looks real. I'm amazed they allowed it to be filmed.
