The True Story Behind Picnic at Hanging Rock

The original article can be found here.

The main points of the article (about the Amazon series) are:

It's half-mystical sci-fi, half psycho-thriller.
The boarding school and the surrounding town descend into chaos after the disappearances.
The article talks about The Secret of Hanging Rock, the final chapter that was dropped from the original book.
The article notes that Valentine's Day in 1900 was on a Wednesday, not a Saturday as is shown in the movie.
The boarding school is loosely based on the Clyde Girls' Grammar School.
Watches stop in the movie. Apparently they did in real life, also.
