The Moberly-Jourdain Incident

The Moberly-Jourdain Incident (1901) remains one of history's most puzzling time slip cases. Two British academics, Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, claimed to have temporarily traveled back to 1789 while visiting Versailles' Petit Trianon. They reported seeing Marie Antoinette-era figures, landscapes, and even the queen herself in detailed, mutually corroborated accounts. Despite skepticism, their vivid descriptions of anachronistic details—later verified by historians—and their respectable positions as Oxford administrators gave the story credibility. This eerie experience continues to intrigue paranormal researchers as potential evidence of accidental time travel.
