Adventure - Eleanor Jourdain Charlotte Anne Moberly

About this episode

"Adventure" by Eleanor Jourdain and Charlotte Anne Moberly recounts the extraordinary Moberly–Jourdain incident of August 10, 1901, when two female academics claimed to have experienced a time slip in the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles. During their visit, they reported seeing Marie Antoinette and others from that historical period, an experience that sparked both fascination and ridicule upon its publication in 1911. This tale of academic curiosity and the intersection of history and the supernatural invites listeners to explore themes of belief, perception, and the enduring allure of the past. The story remains relevant today as it challenges our understanding of reality and the mysteries that lie within our world.
