The most dramatic story of time travel, which has been documented by the British Society for Psychical Research, covered the case of two Oxford professors, Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain. The story, which took place on 10 August 1901, is retold by Michael Talbot in his book, The Holographic Universe.

Here is the story:

"The two were walking through the garden of the Petit Trianon at Versailles, France, when they saw a shimmering effect pass over a landscape in front of them, not unlike the special effects in a movie when it changes from one scene to another. After the shimmering passed, they noticed that the landscape had changed. Suddenly, the people around them were wearing 18th-century costumes and wigs, and were behaving in an agitated manner.

"As the two women stood dumbfounded, a repulsive man with a pockmarked face approached and urged them to change their direction. They followed him past a line of trees to a garden where they heard strains of music floating through the air, and saw an aristocratic lady painting a watercolor.

"Eventually, the vision vanished, the landscape returned to normal, but the transformation had been so dramatic that when the women looked behind them, they realized the path they had just walked down was now blocked by an old stone wall.

"When they returned to England, they searched through historical records and concluded that they had been transported back in time to the day when the sacking of the Tuileries and the massacre of the Swiss Guards had taken place — which accounted for the agitated manner of the people in the garden — and the woman in the garden was none other than Marie Antoinette.
