If I were at Gaspard Robertson’s “Phantasmagoria” show in 1797, I’d be amazed and scared. The ghostly images would look so real, and the spooky atmosphere with smoke and eerie sounds would make me jump. Back then, people were fascinated by the unknown, especially after the French Revolution.
Today, haunted houses, escape rooms, and VR horror games give us a similar thrill. They use technology to create creepy, immersive experiences that scare and excite us, just like Robertson’s show did!
