Can the past bleed into the present? In August 1901, two respected Oxford academics, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, experienced something extraordinary while visiting the Petit Trianon at the Palace of Versailles. This episode explores the famous Moberly-Jourdain incident, often cited as compelling evidence for a time slip.

Their walk through the gardens allegedly grew heavy and melancholic, encountering figures in 18th-century dress, seeing long-vanished structures, and hearing archaic music. Their detailed account, published anonymously in their book "An Adventure," included the potential sighting of Marie Antoinette herself sketching near the Temple de l'Amour. Was it a shared hallucination (folie à deux ), a haunting, a misinterpretation of a themed event, or a genuine glimpse into Versailles as it was in 1789? Examine the evidence, the skepticism, and the enduring allure of the Echoes of Versailles.

The Monumental Paradox

Across the globe, colossal stone structures stand as silent testaments to ancient ingenuity – but are they connected? This episode investigates the Monumental Paradox, exploring the intriguing similarities and potential links between megalithic sites like the Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, Angkor Wat, Teotihuacan, and Easter Island. Uncanny architectural parallels, shared astronomical alignments, and sophisticated construction techniques defy conventional timelines.

Theories propose a forgotten global civilization possessing advanced knowledge or technology. Could these sites form part of a prehistoric worldwide energy grid, connected by ley lines or other unknown forces? The evidence for shared symbolism, mathematical constants, and possible communication between these distant ancient cultures is analyzed. Question established history and explore the possibility that these monumental achievements hint at a unified, advanced chapter of humanity's past.

One of America's oldest and most haunting mysteries unfolds. The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the 117 English men, women, and children who settled on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, in 1587, only to vanish without a definitive trace, is investigated.

When Governor John White returned from England three years later, he found the settlement deserted, with only the cryptic word "CROATOAN" carved into a palisade and "CRO" on a tree. What are the leading theories: Did the colonists relocate to Croatoan Island (modern Hatteras) and assimilate with the friendly Croatan tribe? Did they attempt to move inland and meet a different fate? Were they victims of disease, conflict, or a supernatural curse? The archaeological clues, the controversial Dare Stones, the historical context, and the enduring enigma of America's Lost Colony are examined. Explore the forgotten curse and enduring questions surrounding Roanoke.
