vint-agge-xx:“Time travel will be invented in the year 2025. How do we know? Because that is the year that this delightful lady claimed to have traveled from. In the year 1898, according the contemporary reports, Alexandria Alexis appeared ‘as if from nowhere’ and took New York society by storm. Some fawned over her while others claimed she was insane.

I first ran across this particular story through Facebook, of all places; one of my friends sent me the link, knowing my predelection for the strange [link]. The original post, whose description I posted as the legend above, was put up by the Facebook user known as- The Victorian Academy of Magick’ which has proved to be full of many other stories that will likely end up here someday.
