Are there really ghosts in Versailles?

The Moberly–Jourdain incident

was an event that occurred

on 10 August 1901

in the gardens of the Petit Trianon,

involving two female academics,

Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain.

The women were both from educated backgrounds.

During a trip to Versailles,

they visited the Petit Trianon,

a small château

in the grounds

of the Palace of Versailles,

where they allegedly

experienced a time slip,

and saw

Marie Antoinette

as well as other

people

of the same period.

After researching

the history

of the palace,

and comparing notes

of their experience,

they published their work in a book entitled

An Adventure,

under the names of

Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont,

in 1911.

“An Adventure” by C.A.E. Moberly, published in 1913
