In 1972, Marie-Hélène de Rothschild hosted the Surrealist Ball at Château de Ferrières near Paris, one of the most mysterious high-society parties of the century.
Invitations were printed backwards to be read in a mirror, and guests like Salvador Dalí and Audrey Hepburn arrived in surreal costumes.
The château was transformed with shattered mirrors, mannequins, and eerie decorations, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
While the event has fueled conspiracy theories due to its symbolism and exclusivity, no evidence supports darker claims.
Iconic photos of haunting masks and bizarre outfits keep its legend alive today.
