Ghosts of Trianon.
Annie Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain.
Ghosts Ghosts of Versailles and Trianon means an experience in 1901 in the gardens of the Petit Trianon by two Englishwomen who viewed it as paranormal.
We August 10, 1901 in the afternoon. Annie Moberly Main St. Hugh's College Hall, third women's college at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom) and Eleanor Jourdain Vice-Principal of the college visit the castle of Versailles and the park.
Then they go beyond the Grand Trianon and seek to win the Petit Trianon, they spotted on the threshold of a door a woman shaking a white cloth. Besides a plow and other tools seem abandonnés1. Later, two men wearing tricorn hats and dressed in long coats gray-green, spade in hand, stand near a brouette2: gardeners think they are. The two misses ask them their way: they answer them all to continue droit.Le overcast and stormy. The atmosphere is heavy. The two visitors feel a growing sense of concern but does not share his feelings to another. The landscape becomes unreal like a tapisserie.Un man sitting on the steps of a small kiosk turns his head at the approach of two ladies: his face is corrupted, sinister and repoussant3. Then another man, curly hair under a wide-brimmed hat and wrapped in a black cloak came running and said, 'Ladies, do not pass this way but by then he must turn right . Look for the maison'4. The visitors arrived near a small house with closed shutters: a lady on the lawn seems to read or draw. Her hair is blond and she wears a white straw hat. She is wearing a dress and a scarf draped on his grave Green épaules5. Both Women continue their path and reach the height of the next house. A door opens, pulls out a young man who gives the impression of being a serviteur6. They want to apologize, thinking on private property, but the man takes them close to the Trianon where they are suddenly surrounded by a noce.Mais the story does not end there: Miss Jordan will return only two times on the site. On 2 January 1902, she saw two men dressed in tunics that fill a cart of firewood. She also heard voices of women as a strange sound musique7.
few days later, Miss Moberly, still plagued by the feeling of fear and unreality of Versailles, expressed in Miss Jordan and asked him if he does not feel that the premises are, somehow, "haunted" . Eleanor confirms his sense of unease during the visit. They then questioned the scope cloak oddly by the man with curly hair in this hot day, his attitude, his amused them now seem strange and unnatural. But it was only in November, when Eleanor Jordan went to Oxford where Annie has been three months resumed his duties as director, they discussed at greater length experience. The fact that Eleanor had only seen the wife and little daughter Annie, and that only the designer has seen the disorder. Miss Moberly, precisely, has seen a portrait of Marie Antoinette by Wertmüller the queen felt was eerily similar to, face and clothes, the woman of the lawn. She inquires with a French woman who confirmed that the rumors long since the presence of the ghost of Marie Antoinette at Versailles.
They return to Versailles in 1902. The places they look different and they learn that Marie-Antoinette at the Petit Trianon was October 5, 1789 when he announced the people's march to Versailles. The January 2, they still have strange perceptions, including that of music they try to recall for identification. It assures them that this is a style of the 1780s. They still visit the area once the Petit Trianon in 1904. During their research, they think to remember the presence of a plow that did not exist in 1901, and a bridge they had crossed and gone, and they discover that the "gardeners" wore a suit similar to the Swiss Guards of the Queen and the door where the servant came out to pay for a long time, they identify human syphilitic face as the Count of Vaudreuil.

- 1No there was no plow Trianon in 1901
- 2The guards thirteenth century wore green outfits well, they were not gardeners!
- 3L'homme botched face would be the Comte de Vaudreuil.
- 4L'homme who ran and spoke of the 'home': Golden Queen Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793) called the Petit Trianon his 'house of Trianon'.
- 5The lady sitting on the lawn evokes the portrait of Marie Antoinette, painted in 1788 by Ulrik Aldolf Wertmüller.
- 6The chapel door through which came the young man had not been open since 1892.
- 7The music heard by Eleanor Jordan in 1902 was typical of scores composed in 1780.
