Set against the backdrop of a period rich in political upheaval and romantic Gothicism, the story examines how two women, Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, experience what they believe to be a visit to the past.
Through detailed historical context, psychological insights, scientific theories, and modern investigative techniques, the book investigates whether their account is a genuine supernatural event or a product of perception and belief. It also looks at how media, literature, and cultural influences shaped the story's legacy.
Aimed at enthusiasts and researchers, the book encourages critical thinking about how humans perceive reality and the possibility of time anomalies. Overall, it invites readers to question what is real and explore the boundaries between science, history, and the supernatural.
