The Versailles Time Slip (1901): Two British academics, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, claimed they wandered into the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles and saw figures in 18th-century attire, including a woman resembling Marie Antoinette sketching near the Temple of Love. They described an eerie atmosphere, dull colors, and oppressive silence. Later, they concluded they had briefly slipped back to 1789, days before the French Revolution. Their 1911 book *An Adventure* sparked debate. Skeptics cite misidentification and imagination. Despite lack of evidence, the incident remains a classic time slip case, symbolizing nostalgia, historical longing, and the fragility of perception.
