* Versailles Palace, outside Paris. In 1889 two school teachers on a visit to the Palace grounds walked through a set of Palace gardens, saw a physically deformed man on a swing in eighteenth century clothes, and entered the Chapel Royal where a Mass was being sung on the High Altar. When they returned the next day they found the gardens completely changed and the door they supposedly entered the Chapel Royal through locked with a rusted lock. Staff at the Palace insisted that the grounds they claimed to have walked through didn't exist and the door in question had not been opened since 1789. Both women were sacked from their teaching posts and called liars. Years later, a file was discovered which showed that the grounds at Versailles had once looked as the women described and the man they described seeing matched the description of Queen Marie Antoinette's brother. But the part of the grounds the women had walked through had been remodelled during Napoleon I's reign and details of the grounds up to that point forgotten except in long unread state files. How the two women could have seen the gardens as they had existed in 1789 (one hundred years prior to their visit) when no-one in their lifetime knew what the grounds had been like, and when the only file describing the layout was locked up unread in the French national archive, remains a mystery. ...more on Wikipedia about "List of haunted locations"
