    The Moberly-Jourdain incident of 1901 refers to an incident in which two women strolling throughout the gardens at the Palace or Versailles claimed to have come across what seemed the ghosts of pre- revolutionary aristocrats, though at the time they did not seem to have thought they had encountered such beings of the past, thinking perhaps it had been a period act on display for visitors. Nonetheless, those aquatinted with the palace informed the two ladies that no such group of people were ever present.

    Do the ghosts of pre-revolutionary royal France, including Marie Antoinette wander aimlessly throughout their old haunting grounds (pun intended), or was there something else at work here?

    about 15 years ago I was driving along a road in laois and I saw this lovely little thatched cottage. I was going to stop to take a photo, but I had a nokia - this was before smartphones - and the whole idea of taking photos on the phone were a bit of a novelty so I didnt bother. I got into work and mentioned the cottage to a work colleague who - being local - told me there was no such cottage there.

    So - at lunch I drove back out the same road and instead of the thatched cottage, there was a normal bungalow. same kind of orientation, though the surroundings (shed etc) were a bit different - but it had no thatched roof and was modernised.
