The Mysterious Paths of Versailles: An Investigation of a Psychical Journey Back in Time

by Mark LaMont

On August 10, 1901, two English ladies spending part of their summer together in France decided to visit the Palace of Versailles for what was anticipated to be an ordinary day of sightseeing. However, on that fateful day, the women later believed a series of mysterious encounters had occurred, the results of which have lingered through to the present day. When one of the ladies suggested a visit to Queen Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon, both were later convinced they had stepped back in time to witness people and scenery from the eighteenth century. One of the ladies even believed she had witnessed the queen herself! Were the ladies' encounters simply a case of mistaken identity and confusion as a result of venturing into an unfamiliar environment? How well do their testimonies support the integrity of such an occurrence? Alternatively, did the women unknowingly step back in time to walk along paths from a bygone era at Versailles?

[John Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very interesting and thought-provoking read based on true events. Lamont dissects and presents his information nicely leaving the reader free to decide whether to believe in the events or not. This book has certainly prompted me to think more clearly about the strength of evidence needed to assess ghost sightings as genuine phenomena.
