The Pollock Twins
A father whose two young daughters died in a car accident had two more daughters the following year — who, as toddlers, began describing specific memories, scars, and toys belonging to the sisters they had never met and were never told about.
The Pollock case involves an English family whose two young daughters died in a 1957 car accident, followed by the birth of twin sisters the following year who, from a young age, reportedly displayed specific behaviors, statements, and apparent birthmarks their parents found strikingly consistent with memories of their deceased older sisters, despite never being told about them. The case became one of the most extensively documented and studied claimed reincarnation cases in parapsychology research.
