Versailles Time-Slip: The Moberly-Jourdain Incident

About this episode

This episode explores the mysterious claim of two Oxford dons encountering Marie Antoinette at Versailles in 1901.

In this episode, I look into an early 20th century claim of a supernatural encounter with the past. Did two Oxford dons really see Marie Antoinette at Versailles in 1901? Was it a haunting? A "time-slip"? A psychic journey? Or was it a hoax or a simple mistake?
