Minecraft villagers won't stop spinning around in circles?

I have version 1.8.1, and my villagers won't stop spinning around in circles. They won't go inside at night and get killed by mobs, and the farmers don't stop to replant crops. How do I stop them from spinning around?

Some things you can try:

1. Hit them with your fist
2. Break the block underneath them
3. Remove the doors on the building on then replace them.
