As the author of the channel notes “Inside Out” on “Yandex.Zen”, there is no convincing evidence about the reality of this story, but it spreads as a full-fledged urban legend, therefore it is interesting to read as a fictional story.
Since the age of 9, John Pollock believed in the possibility of reincarnation. He grew up in a religious family and later converted to Catholicism. His wife Florence followed her husband's example. His belief in the transmigration of souls was so strong that sometimes he even argued with the priests.
In 1946, the couple became parents. They had a daughter, Joanna. After 5 years, another baby was born - Jacqueline. Both girls were very active and constantly came up with some kind of games. They never parted and adored each other's company. When Jacqueline was 3 years old, she fell into a barrel and cut the skin under her left eye, leaving a noticeable scar. Joanna's feature was a mole on her belly.
For some reason, the eldest daughter, in conversations with her parents, constantly mentioned that she would never grow up and would never become a woman. In May 1957, a terrible tragedy occurred for the Pollock family. In the morning they went to church, but they were not destined to get there. The girls were hit by a car that appeared from somewhere quite unexpectedly. Only later it became known that a woman was driving, who wanted to commit suicide, so she took a lethal dose of sleeping pills.
The parents suffered terribly. John was convinced that God had punished him for begging him to demonstrate the miracle of reincarnation. He blamed himself, but at the same time he still believed that he would still see his daughters. John began to delirium, it seemed to him that he had noticed one of the girls on the second floor. Florence was very hard, she tried to distract herself and not think about the tragedy. The relationship with her husband went completely wrong, and it was going to divorce. However, Florence soon became pregnant, and the doctors announced that two babies would be born in a few months.

Gillian and Jennifer were born in October 1958. Parents immediately noticed that one girl had a strange scar under her left eye, and the other had a mole on her stomach. When the twins were 2 years old, they began to ask their parents for toys that Jacqueline and Joanne used to play with. The most interesting thing is that the girls never saw these dolls, but described them as if they had owned them for a very long time. They gave the dolls the same names as Jacqueline and Joan gave them.
Before Jacqueline and Joan died, Florence often helped her husband deliver milk and put on a special robe for this. But after her little ones had an accident, she never returned to this work. Once John decided it was time to repaint the fence and put on his wife's robe. Almost immediately Jennifer ran to him and asked: “Why did you put on your mother’s clothes?”, Although the girl could not see her parent in this outfit.
The girls were also very afraid of cars, and always crossed the road with extreme caution. After some time, the family returned to their hometown of Hexham, where they left long ago. In an “unfamiliar” place, the sisters were perfectly oriented and asked their parents to take them to the park to ride their favorite swing.
The relationship between the sisters was wonderful. Gillian constantly cared for Jennifer and gave her all the best, she was more sociable than her twin, and seemed older than her age.
When the sisters reached the age of five, all the oddities ceased, and the "memories" of the dead relatives seemed to disappear. After 8 years, the father of the family explained to his daughters what reincarnation was, and told that, in fact, they were Joan and Jacqueline. The girls didn't believe it.
In 1963, biochemist and psychiatrist Ian Stevenson became interested in this case. He examined the girls and listened carefully to their parents. Then Yang met with the family again and kept in touch with them. When the girls turned 20, Yang visited them again, but the girls no longer have any memories.

The scientist concluded that the behavior of Gillian and Jennifer could not be a consequence of the influence of their parents. He included this story in his book, Children Who Remember Previous Lives: Seeking Reincarnation. However, no tangible evidence for the theory of reincarnation was found.
