After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Ghost of Marie Antoinette

What if a leisurely visit to the Palace of Versailles transported you back to the court of Marie Antoinette — would you believe it or question your sanity? This is the story of two English women from St Hugh's College, Oxford University, who in 1901 believed that they slipped back in time to the 1790s and came face-to-face with one of the most famous figures of history. Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling the story this week. Written by Anthony Delaney Edited by Tom Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
