P Is for the Pollock Twins
This month I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. My theme this year is Unsolved Mysteries. Today's letter is:
It's easy to forget that we have so much science available today, we can explain away everything. That wasn't always the case. In 1957, a well-respected psychologist actually concluded that twin girls were the reincarnation of their dead twin sisters.
One year before Jennifer and Gillian Pollock were born, their older twin sisters, Joanna and Jacqueline, were tragically killed in a car accident. Jennifer and Gillian looked identical to the other twins, with birthmarks in the same places.
When the young girls reached three months of age, the family moved. They didn't return to their birthplace until they were almost four years old. As they drove through town, the girls began pointing out landmarks their older sisters had known. They pointed to their older sisters' school and swore that had been their school.
A random school.
Jennifer and Gillian soon began requesting toys that their sisters had owned. They had never seen the toys before, yet they knew what was in storage. They also developed a deathly fear of cars.
Soon after, the strange behavior stopped and the girls led long, normal lives. But their story remains one of the few instances of possible "proof" of reincarnation.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
