Echoes of Versailles

Echoes of Versailles steps into one of the most famous time slip cases in paranormal history. In nineteen oh one, two English academics, Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, walk through the gardens of Versailles and suddenly find themselves among strange figures in old fashioned dress, eerie stillness, and buildings that should not be there. Years later they publish a detailed account claiming they briefly crossed into the world of Marie Antoinette.

This episode retells their walk minute by minute, then follows the research they did afterward, mapping their memories against the real layout and history of the palace grounds. We look at skeptical explanations, from misremembered routes to shared fantasy, along with more unsettling ideas about thin places and time out of joint. By the end, you can decide whether Moberly and Jourdain stepped into the past, or whether something else in the gardens shaped what they saw.
