EP 52 "The Fabric Is Thin Here": The Bizarre Moberly-Jourdain Time-Travel Incident
In 1901, two English scholars (who were also friends) named Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain loved visiting historical sights together, and on August 10th, they decided to go on holiday to Versailles. They expected to spend a pleasant but otherwise uneventful day wandering the halls and grounds of the spectacular palace. But–about a week after they returned home, they realized that they’d both had an experience there that neither of them could explain and…the more they talked about it, the more the hair on the backs of their necks prickled, and the more they became convinced that somehow, for a few hours, they’d unwittingly stumbled through a rip in the fabric of time that was torn in a history–altering event marked by fear and terror. According to Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, the story you’re about to hear, whether you choose to believe it or not, is true. Lights Out Campers.
