Lost in Versailles: Marie Antoinette's Ghost or a Portal to the Past? | Episode 3

from Odd Things Considered · host Hailey Ward

In 1901, two highly educated women took a sightseeing trip to Versailles—but what should have been an ordinary afternoon became one of history’s most chilling time-slip mysteries. Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain claimed they saw ghostly figures, vanished landmarks, and even Marie Antoinette herself. Were they momentarily transported to 1789? Was it a haunting, a hallucination, or something even stranger? Join me as we unravel the eerie details of the Versailles Time Slip, a case that continues to baffle skeptics and believers alike.🔍 Follow the podcast for more mysterious and strange stories!Instagram:⁠⁠ @oddthingspod⁠TikTok: @oddthingspodMUSIC:"Myst on the Moor" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Spacial Harvest" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Gymnopedie No. 2" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Past the Edge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Magic Escape Room" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
