These days, it’s available as The Ghosts of Trianon check it out, if you like. But for what it’s worth, in 1911 - roughly 10 years after what they said they had experienced occurred - the two women published a book about the whole thing under the names Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont simply called An Adventure. They claimed to have fallen into a “time slip” and been briefly transported back more than 100 years before being jolted back to the present by a tour guide.ĭid they really travel back in time? Probably not various explanations include everything from a folie a deux (basically a joint delusion) to a simple misinterpretation of what they actually saw. Finally, they said, they caught sight of Marie Antoinette herself, drawing in a sketchbook. They said they spotted people wearing anachronistic clothing, heard mysterious voices, and saw buildings and other structures that were no longer present - and, indeed, hadn’t existed since the late 1700s. And while they were at Versailles, they visited what’s known as the Petit Trianon - a little chateau on the palace grounds that Louis XVI gave to Marie Antoinette as a private space for her to hang out and do whatever it was that a teenaged queen did when she was relaxing back then.īut while they were there, they claimed, they saw some… odd occurrences. While they were there, they visited the Palace of Versailles (because, y’know, that’s what one does when one visits France). In 1901, two Englishwomen, Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, took a vacation to France. These seven tales are all excellent yarns, at any rate. It’s difficult to find stories online that are actual accounts from real people - many of them are either urban legends ( hi there, Philadelphia Experiment) or stories that center around people that I’ve been unable to verify actually exist - but if you dig hard enough, sincere accounts can be found.Īre the stories true? Are they false? Are they examples of people who believe with all their heart that they’re true, even if they might not actually be? You be the judge. Wells’ The Time Machine to Back to the Future. That said, though, many are convinced that time dilation isn’t the only kind of time travel that’s possible some folks do also believe in time travel as depicted by everything from H. For the curious, Krikalev has spent a total of 803 days, nine hours, and 39 minutes in space over the course of his career.
According to a TED-Ed video by Colin Stuart, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev actually traveled 0.02 seconds into his own future due to time dilation during the time he spent on the International Space Station. Technically speaking time travel does exist right now - just not in the sci fi kind of way you’re probably thinking. That would be pretty rad if it were true. In all honesty, that might not be so bad - because the tradeoff for being wrong in that case would be that time travel is real.
Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll have to eat my words. Do you believe in time travel? I’m a skeptic myself - but if these people’s stories about time travel are to be believed, then I am apparently wrong.
