"The fact is that much of what scientists know - or think they know - about psi has been confused with arguments promoted by uncritical enthusiasts on the one hand and uncritical skeptics on the other."

- Spontaneous Memories
|
|
One
More Mission

Family
Lost and Found
From a very young age, an English woman is plagued by
dreams and visions in which she was a woman named Mary
with seven or more children who lived in a town she
finally felt she recognized on a map of Ireland. In
her mid thirties she is able to go to the town and do
the research that finally leads her to locate and meet
and five of Mary's children
who now accept her
as the actual spirit of their long-dead mother. [Case
#61]

The
Strangers Were Lovers
Since early childhood, a woman is haunted by vivid yet
inexplicable memories, visions, and dreams of being
another girl. As an adult, she displays accurate knowledge
of the geography and history of a town she has never
before visited. This is a most special case because
her revelations bring about a joint hypnosis session
with a man who recalls being the girl's fiancé.
[Case #60]

Past Lives Recalled
- Guided Regressions
|
|
Round
Trip to Allentown
A newspaper reporter assigned to investigate past life
regressions remembers specific details from a past life
as a soldier who had lived in Allentown, Pennsylvania,
and been killed in North Africa. He finds confirmation
in the Allentown newspaper morgue and in Department
of Defense records. [Case #63]
|
|
A
Submariner Resurfaces
A regression sought in hopes of relieving extreme claustrophobia
and aquaphobia uncovered memories of a death by drowning
in a submarine that was sunk by the Japanese in WWII.
The details were all confirmed by follow-on research
and his phobias disappeared. [Case #59]
|
|
The
Prince and the Servant Girl
Thinking she might get a reason for her fascination
with Greece and Tibet, an English woman agrees to be
regressed. After six sessions and six memories of previous
lives she calls it quits (none were in Greece or Tibet)
but the fact that she remembers six lives in exquisite
detail - much of it confirmed - makes untenable the
often-used explanation of recalling stories read in
the past. [Case #58]
|
|
The
Rebirth of Bridey Murphy
A widely read and most controversial book during the
late 1950s and early '60s, The Search for Bridey Murphy
told of the hypnotically induced recall by a Colorado
housewife of a life as a child and woman in Belfast,
Ireland, at the turn of the 19th century. Although supposedly
"debunked," once one knows the whole story, it seems
most authentic and convincing. [Case #36]
|
|
A
Town Reborn
During a 17-year investigation using hypnotic regressions,
50 people living near Lake Elsinore, California, remember
living in the little town of Millboro, Virginia, in
the mid 19th century. Facts are revealed and confirmed
that are known by no living person in the Virginia town.
[Case #23]

|
The
Apprentice Murderer
A therapist's regressions of two patients - who have
never met one another - reveals that each had lives
in Bavaria around 1132 in which one was apprenticed
to the other and killed by him. Several unusual names
and events are described by both subjects. [Case #22]
|
|
The
Numbers of the Beast
A young women in Brazil, recalls under regression a
life that ended in a Nazi concentration camp. As she
was telling about having a number burned on her arm
red welts appeared on her arm that resolved themselves
into numbers. A picture of the numbers is sent to the
Holocaust Museum in Israel, which returns a detailed
description of a child exactly matching the recollections.
[Case #21]

Death
in the Garment District
During a regression therapy in the mid 1970s a patient
relates the life of a woman named Rita McCullum including
the fact that she hung herself in her garment factory
on June 11th 1933. A notarized death certificate from
the New York Hall of Records later confirms this fact.
[Case #20]

|
The
Policeman and the Painter
Undergoing hypnotic regression on a dare, a very skeptical,
long-time police officer is startled to find himself
a painter in front of an easel studying a picture of
a hunchback woman. After unsuccessfully searching for
the picture for months he saw it in an obscure art gallery
when visiting New Orleans. Further research was to reveal
that the artist's career 100 years ago, matched the
details from the regression sessions in at least 28
particulars. [Case #19]
