00:01We are in Exham, England, March 5, 1957, it's a Tuesday.
00:06A car loses control, drives onto the sidewalk, and hits two little girls who were on their way to Mass.
00:13Their names are Joanna and Jacqueline, 11 and 6 years old, they were killed instantly.
00:18They were flying through the air like cricket balls, a witness said.
00:21The parents, Joe and Florence Pollock, are devastated and a year later they find relief when Florence becomes pregnant with two children.
00:30little girls.
00:30The Pollock twins, Gillian and Jennifer, were born on October 4, 1958, in perfect health.
00:38And everything is fine, even if the parents start to notice something strange.
00:43Coincidences at the beginning.
00:45For example, Jennifer has a white mark in the corner of her left eye, near her nose,
00:51identical, look at that, to the one Joanna, the dead little sister, had done to herself by tripping over a bucket when she was
00:583 years.
00:59It's not the only sign.
01:00The two twins have other clear signs such as old scars,
01:04corresponding to the injuries sustained by Joanna and Jacqueline at the time of the accident.
01:11Strange coincidences, which become even stranger as the twins grow up.
01:17When they were two years old, mother Florence took down a box of toys from the attic
01:21and the twins choose exactly the ones Joanna and Jacqueline prefer.
01:26A doll, for example, that they give the same name.
01:30The Pollocks moved to another town, but one day, while taking a stroll in Exham,
01:35The twins, who are 4 years old, want to go to a specific place, the garden of a church,
01:40where there was a swing that Joanna and Jacqueline liked very much.
01:45Again, Gillian walks with her feet open like Joanna, holds her pencil like her,
01:50Jennifer keeps her fists closed like Jacqueline and both are afraid of cars and dream
01:57in their worst nightmares, where they exactly reconstruct the phases of the investment.
02:02Coincidences? Suggestions? False memories induced in girls by their parents' stories?
02:09Well, there's an American psychiatrist who studies cases of this kind who has a different opinion.
02:14It is Dr. Stevenson, who studies them for twenty years and includes their case in a book that is
02:20call
02:20Reincarnation and Biology, Reincarnation and Biology, because that's what the doctor thinks,
02:26together with the twins' father, who firmly believes in it.
02:31Joanna and Jacqueline, two sisters joined as twins, were reincarnated after death as Gillian and Jennifer.
02:38But some people think differently, other scholars of course the majority,
02:44but above all the two eldest children of the Pollock family and the grandchildren.
02:48They point out that the only witnesses to those strange coincidences are the parents, Joe and Florence.
02:56They say that she wasn't so convinced, but did it to please him,
03:00who had been a blind believer in reincarnation since he read a book at the age of 9.
03:06Well, most likely it's just a man's narcissistic drive.
03:13who made it all up to be the center of attention,
03:16or even a father who cannot process the grief
03:20and also unconsciously writes a screenplay that would have been tempting for Hollywood producers.
03:25.
03:28Thanks for watching!
