The Moberly–Jourdain incident

[Guest]

A thread regarding the Moberly-Jourdain incident of 1901 in which two women strolling throughout the gardens at the Palace or Versailles claimed to have come across what seemed the ghosts of pre- revolutionary aristocrats, though at the time they did not seem to have thought they had encountered such beings of the past, thinking perhaps it had been a period act on display for visitors. Nonetheless, those aquatinted with the palace informed the two ladies that no such group of people were ever present.

An interesting introduction to the topic, do the ghosts of pre- revolutionary royal France, including Marie Antoinette wander aimlessly throughout their old haunting grounds (pun intended), or was there something else at work here?
