In 1957, in Hexham, England, a couple named John and Florence Pollock lost their two daughters, Joanna (11) and Jacqueline (6), in a tragic car accident. The parents were devastated.

About a year later, Florence gave birth to twin girls, Gillian and Jennifer. Everything seemed normal — until the girls began to grow and display astonishing details that the parents couldn’t explain.

The Details:

Jennifer had two birthmarks — one on her hip and one across her forehead — exactly where Jacqueline’s had been. When the twins were old enough to talk, they began recognizing places they had never been — like the old family home and local landmarks where Joanna and Jacqueline used to play. They would ask for toys by name that had belonged to the deceased sisters, knowing where they were kept beforethe parents even mentioned them. When they saw a car engine start for the first time, both girls panicked and screamed, saying “That’s the car! It’s coming for us!”

John and Florence were religious and skeptical, but the details became so specific that even investigators and psychologists took note.

By the time the twins turned 5, these memories began to fade — just as many reincarnation researchers claim happens with “past-life recall” in children.

To this day, there’s no scientific explanation for how those two young girls could have known so much about their deceased sisters, down to details the parents had never discussed around them.
