Dead Girl

'Dead Girl' Comes Back To Life, Knows SECRETS She Shouldn't.

The girl's eyes fluttered open and she gasped for air, her body jerking as she came back to life. She looked around in confusion, trying to remember what had happened to her. It was then that she realized she knew secrets she shouldn't. Secrets that could change everything.

As she struggled to come to terms with her newfound knowledge, the girl found herself thrust into a world of danger and intrigue. She was being watched, followed, and she knew she had to be careful. The secrets she held were too important to fall into the wrong hands.

But as she delved deeper into the mystery surrounding her, the girl discovered that there were others like her. Others who had been brought back from the dead with secrets they couldn't explain. Together, they set out to uncover the truth behind their resurrection and the secrets they held.

As they raced against time to unravel the mystery, the girl and her companions found themselves facing unimaginable danger. But they refused to back down, knowing that the secrets they held were too important to ignore. And as they finally uncovered the truth, they realized that they were part of something much bigger than they ever could have imagined.

The girl's journey had been a difficult one, but she knew that it had been worth it. She had discovered secrets that could change the world, and she was determined to use them for good. With newfound purpose, she set out to make a difference, knowing that her journey had only just begun.

[Narrator] In the early 1900s,

a young girl named Dorothy Eady did the impossible.

Twice.

First, she returned from the dead.

Second, when she came back,

she returned with memories of an ancient Egyptian priestess.

It seemed she'd somehow gained an awareness

of a distant past life.

But how?

Well, that question and many more

of an equally bizarre caliber

will be explored in this video

as we check out some

of the craziest real world stories of reincarnation.

(upbeat music)

Born in London in 1904,

Dorothy Eady's story really began when she was three.

Like most children,

she liked to play without a care in the world.

That was, until a terrible accident changed her life.

One day, Dorothy fell headlong

down a flight of stairs in her home,

causing her to lose consciousness and stop breathing.

With Dorothy being totally unresponsive,

the family doctor pronounced her dead soon after he arrived.

After he left, however,

Dorothy's parents summoned him straight back to the house.

Why?

Because their little girl had reawoken, alive and healthy.

Only, little did they know,

Dorothy wasn't the same little girl anymore.

She began speaking with a foreign accent

and constantly begged her parents to take her home

to a different home she couldn't describe.

Her parents were baffled and understandably so.

But the strangeness was only just beginning.

One day, while browsing the artifacts

of an Egyptian exhibition,

Dorothy pointed at an image of the Temple of Seti I,

a pharaoh of the 19th dynasty of Egypt,

and father of Ramesses the Great.

She insisted she had lived in that temple.

And even went as far as to point out

the now missing gardens that used to flourish there.

But Dorothy, being only four,

her parents assumed this was merely

the overactive imagination of a child.

As Dorothy grew older, her insistent belief in her past life

led to some uncomfortable situations.

One of these included being banned

from attending local Catholic Church events

after she vocally compared Christianity

to ancient Egyptian religion,

which the local clergy determined

to be a blasphemous statement.

On leaving school at 16,

she took up part-time studies

at an art institute in Plymouth,

where she joined a theater group.

There, she played

the Egyptian goddess of the moon, Isis, on stage.

A role that brought back more memories

from her so-called previous life.

Now, claiming to be the reincarnation

of a girl named Bentreshyt,

Dorothy began talking about meeting Seti I

in the temple while serving as a priestess of Isis.

And how she shortly thereafter became pregnant.

Seeing as it was a capital offense

for a priestess to be with child,

Bentreshyt's fling with the king

ultimately resulted in her demise.

Great story, sure. (bright music)

But was there any truth to it?

Well, at 27, Dorothy married an Egyptian man,

Emam Abdel Meguid, and moved to Egypt with him,

setting into motion the most intriguing part of her tale.

Though the couple's marriage fell apart

after only two years,

Dorothy decided to stay in Egypt,

where she raised their son, aptly named Seti,

and worked assisting archeologists in their studies.

She spent many nights alone in the Great Pyramid of Giza

and liked to place offerings at the feet of the Sphinx.

In her 50s,

Dorothy's story gained an unexpected boost of believability

while she was working alongside excavators in Abydos.

Shortly after arriving at the Temple of Seti I,

Dorothy helped locate the ruins of the lost gardens

she had long ago described.

What's more, the chief inspector

from Egypt's Antiquities Department

was blown away when he tested Dorothy's claims

by describing to her a series of wall paintings

inside the Temple of Seti I.

Despite none of the paintings nor descriptions

of their locations or appearances

having been made accessible to the public,

including Dorothy, at that point

Dorothy correctly identified the locations

of every single one.

Crazy, right?

The shortcoming to this report is that no one else

beside the inspector witnessed the identification.

Plus, having snuck into the pyramids before,

who's to say Dorothy didn't sneak into the temple too?

Some skeptics suspect Dorothy

somehow managed to access the unpublished materials

and used them to deceive people.

She did, after all, work for

the National Department of Antiquities.

But that still doesn't explain her discovery

of the lost gardens,

nor the sudden drastic changes,

including her accent,

after her near death experience, aged three.

Even if she suffered from a brain injury

that doctors somehow failed to pick up on,

her parents claims about her impossible level

of ancient Egyptian knowledge

are still difficult to explain away.

That is, if the claims were accurate.

Some skeptics have argued that Dorothy's parents

may have just placed too much significance

upon their daughter's fascination with Egypt,

unintentionally sending her down a spiral of false belief

and possibly blurring their own memories of her childhood.

Ancient Egypt was, after all,

a hot topic in the early 20th century.

So it isn't outside the realms of possibility

that Dorothy's peculiarities were merely the product

of an intense subconscious obsession

with the popular culture of the day.

But whether her claims were genuinely proven correct or not,

Dorothy spent the rest of her days

in Abydos, offering invaluable assistance to archeologists.

She died, for real, this time in 1981, aged 77.

In the very place she'd dreamt of since her childhood.

Star power.

For most people, being the lead singer in a band

is pretty cool in itself.

But for Sherrie Lee Laird,

being the lead vocalist in the Canadian rock band Pandemonia

is far from the most exciting thing about her.

When Sherrie was 12,

she was wondering aloud about the beauty mark above her lip

when her aunt began singing a song.

Curious, Sherrie asked what the song was

and her aunt revealed

it was "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend,"

as sung by Marilyn Monroe in the movie

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."

Sherrie had no idea who Marilyn Monroe was,

but hearing her name seemed to trigger something

in Sherrie's mind.

After this fateful moment,

Sherrie began experiencing vivid dreams

and flashbacks in which she experienced snippets

of Monroe's life.

In these visions, Sherrie was Marilyn.

And over the years, (bright music)

these experiences left Sherrie convinced

that she was reliving memories of her past life as the star.

These visions often included the moments

immediately before Marilyn Monroe's death,

which terrified Sherrie.

After these visions grew severe enough

to land Sherrie a short stay in a psychiatric hospital.

With no one to turn to, in 1998,

Sherrie eventually emailed Adrian Finkelstein,

a California-based author schooled in psychiatry.

From 1977 to 1980,

Finkelstein conducted a research study

involving more than 700 regression sessions with volunteers

which involved hypnotizing his subjects

to recall their supposed past lives.

With the news of Finkelstein's studies reaching

as far as Canada, Sherrie was hopeful.

During one of their earlier sessions,

Finkelstein asked the hypnotized Sherrie

about the night of August 4th, 1962,

when Marilyn tragically passed away

in her Brentwood home, aged 36.

Sherrie insisted that no one else had been involved

in her demise and that Marilyn simply couldn't go on

after President John F. Kennedy broke off their affair.

Finkelstein came away convinced of Sherrie's story,

finding that she was able to answer hundreds of questions

about Marilyn's life.

Some of these questions,

like being able to correctly identify Marilyn's

maternal aunts in a photograph

would have taken a total expert to answer,

not someone with the casual conscious knowledge

Sherrie reportedly had.

Finkelstein also pointed out similarities

between Sherrie and Marilyn's

voice patterns and handwriting.

And, most notably of all, appearance.

He had Sherrie pose as Marilyn for some photos,

which he later used in his book,

"Marilyn Monroe Returns: The Healing of a Soul."

And it's pretty hard to deny the resemblance.

But despite these similarities,

in the field of psychiatry,

past life regression sessions

aren't considered scientifically legitimate.

Critics say the process can lead to patients

incurring false memories,

often as a result of intentional

or unintentional suggestions by the hypnotist.

That said, even after she was made aware of this,

Sherrie remained convinced.

So convinced, in fact,

she didn't even flinch when Finkelstein suggested

that Sherry's own daughter, Kezia,

was the reincarnation of Marilyn's mother, Gladys Baker.

Do I smell a sequel in the works for Finkelstein?

At the rate he's resurrecting dead people,

he should consider changing his name

to Frankenstein instead.

High flyer.

Born in 1998 in San Francisco, California,

James Leininger was obsessed with airplanes

from a young age.

By the age of two,

he knew many models by name.

And, as his obsession grew,

he began having recurring nightmares

about crashing a World War II fighter plane.

When he was a little older,

James told his parents that the pilot in his nightmares

was also called James

and even gave a name to the aircraft carrier

his dream self had taken off from, the USS Natoma Bay.

Childhood imagination, right?

Well, things began to get weird

when James began displaying seemingly impossible knowledge

about aircrafts.

Like being able to identify

very specific technical features,

such as fuel storage devices known as drop tanks, by name.

His parents began to wonder

where he gained this technical knowledge,

especially since they'd never showed him

any plane-related TV programs or books.

Baffled by the precision of James's knowledge,

his parents grew curious

and started looking up the things James mentioned.

After rifling through World War II records,

they were astounded to find that the subject

of James's dreams strongly aligned

with a real World War II pilot named James Huston,

who had been stationed on an aircraft carrier named,

unbelievably, the USS Natoma Bay.

Just like in James Leininger's dreams,

James Huston had been fatally shot out of the air

over Iwo Jima, an island in Japan, during the war.

In 2009, the Leiningers released a book promoting James

as a real case of reincarnation, titled "Sole Survivor."

And although they likely believe their own claims,

a skeptic can find a few holes in the story.

Firstly, the Leiningers' evidence is anecdotal,

meaning that aside from James's parents,

no one else has ever experienced James's claims.

Plus James's mother reportedly reached out to Carol Bowman,

an author specializing in reincarnated children,

to ask for tips on drawing out her son's past life memories,

in hopes of stopping his nightmares.

Under Carol's guidance, it's possible

the Leiningers were inadvertently feeding James ideas

they wanted him to remember.

After his vaguer initial dreams inspired the idea

he may have been reincarnated.

As for James's technical aircraft knowledge,

it's possible he picked it up from TV

without his parents knowing.

But what do you think?

Royal comeback.

In 2019, Australian television presenter,

David Campbell, raised a few eyebrows

when in an article for "STELLAR Magazine,"

he claimed his son was the reincarnation

of the beloved and deceased British royal, Princess Diana.

Apparently, four-year-old Billy

regularly made the claim himself.

It all started when someone gave Billy's mom

a thank you card with Lady Diana on it.

When Billy saw it, despite not knowing Diana's real name,

he proudly announced it was him,

back when he used to be a princess.

Then, one day in the middle of a conversation

with a Scottish friend of theirs,

Billy began speaking about his past life,

Princess Diana, visiting a castle in Scotland.

The castle stood out in Billy's memory, he said,

because it had unicorns on it.

Here's where it gets crazy.

In Scotland, there's a place called Balmoral Castle,

which is a holiday home owned by the British royal family

and was actually frequented by Diana.

Strangest of all,

it is indeed adorned with unicorns.

In a separate incident,

Billy insisted that, when he was the princess,

he used to have a brother called John.

Sure enough, Diana actually had an infant brother,

John, who, even stranger,

passed away a year before Diana's birth.

With so few people aware of John's existence,

it was baffling how Billy just mentioned him

like it was general knowledge.

The spookiest of all was the day Billy's mom

showed him a photo of Diana,

leading him to recall the day he heard sirens

and stopped being a princess.

Could Billy have been referring to the ambulance

and police car presence

at the site of Diana's fatal accident in 1997?

Well, given that David and Lisa

are the only witnesses to any of Billy's claims,

it all depends on how accurate their story is.

If they're telling the truth,

could these incidents be coincidences or just blind luck?

And if it really is just luck,

then I hope Billy's considering a career in poker

because he just got a royal flush.

Bar-Barbro Anne.

Born in 1954 in Sweden,

Barbro Karlen was never like other girls her age.

Bizarrely, according to her parents,

by the time she could speak,

she insisted on being called Anne.

Her parents, of course, kept calling her by her given name.

But little did they know that Barbro's attempts

to rename herself were only the beginning.

As Barbro learned to write,

she constantly shared memories of a previous life

and appeared so convinced by them

that her parents had her evaluated by a psychologist.

Barbro's memories often made people uncomfortable

as, on top of causing her

to deny her parents were her real parents,

they included disturbing visions

of men running up the stairs of her past life home

and snatching her and her family away.

She soon learned to keep these memories to herself

until one day when Barbro was left in disbelief

after her schoolteacher recounted the true story

of a girl who'd lived in Amsterdam during World War II.

A girl whose story

closely resembled Barbro's mysterious memories,

a girl by the name of Anne.

Anne Frank, to be precise.

Who is, of course, now famous

for her posthumously published diary

recounting her tragic life,

cut short by German fascist forces.

The overlap between Anne Frank's story

and Barbro's memories was too great to ignore.

So at the age of 10,

Barbro traveled to Amsterdam with her parents

where the famous Anne Frank House marked one of their stops.

As they arrived, Barbro quickly noted

that they had changed the steps outside.

And upon entering the room Anne had stayed in,

Barbro freaked out over the pictures

that were missing on the wall.

When an employee confirmed

that there had previously been pictures on that wall,

which had been taken down to avoid thefts,

it was all Barbro's mother needed

to believe her daughter's wild claims of reincarnation.

Barbro's mother was so convinced, in fact,

she arranged a meeting

with Anne Frank's still living cousin, Buddy Elias.

The moment Barbro and Buddy saw each other,

they fell into each other's arms and cried.

Buddy recognized an undeniable connection between them.

And they remained close friends

until Buddy passed away in 2015.

Barbro's tale is certainly a baffling case.

But then again, Anne Frank's diary was published in 1947,

meaning the girl's story could have conceivably

found its way through conversation or otherwise

into Barbro's young head,

given that she was born in 1954.

And little Barbro,

having potentially chosen the name Anne at random

as a toddler,

could have unconsciously latched onto the idea.

But considering we don't know for sure,

I'll leave it up to you to decide

whether a few coincidences

or actual full-blown reincarnation

is behind Barbro's peculiar story.

(bright music)

Far from home.

While most cases of mysteriously appearing memories

we've seen so far revolve around people

who appear to have transferred their identities

across the seas of time,

this next one concerns memories moving across space.

Born in 1996 in Volgograd, Russia,

Boriska Kipriyanovich was dubbed a genius

before most kids could even say mama.

Not only did he allegedly start speaking

a few months after birth,

but his mother claimed that, by the age of 1 1/2,

Boriska could already read, draw, and paint.

His kindergarten teachers praised his language skills.

And despite his parents not teaching him

anything about space,

he would talk about Mars for hours on end.

As he got older,

his fascination with the red planet grew

to such an extent he started claiming

he was originally from there and had been reborn on Earth.

According to Boriska,

he was sent by the Martians,

who have been almost, but not entirely,

wiped out by nuclear war on Mars,

to save humans from destroying their own planet

in a similar fashion. (bright music)

Crazy, right?

Well, there's more.

Boriska says many other children on Earth

were sent from Mars, all of which are immortal

and stop physically aging by the time they're 35 years old.

But perhaps strangest of Boriska's claims,

aside from other descriptions he has given of spaceships

and propulsion systems, concern human history.

Specifically the ancient Egyptians,

who Boriska claims were closely linked with Martian society.

Egypt's famous Sphinx, Boriska claims,

can be opened behind the ear

and allegedly hides secrets within

that will change humanity forever.

The problem is Boriska can't quite recall

how the super secret opening mechanism is accessed.

On top of that, over the years,

archeologists have done extensive investigations

of the Sphinx and never found any reputable evidence

of a significant inner chamber.

Perhaps future excavations will reveal more.

But, for now, it's up to us to decide

whether this little Martian is telling the truth.

(bright music)

Look who's back!

Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop was born in 1961

in the city of Krasnodar, Russia.

At 18, he enlisted in the Red Army

where he served for several years

as both a sergeant and a factory metalworker.

Back in the real world,

he kept the streets of his local community safe

as a patrol officer,

before being made redundant in 1989.

Having nothing better to do,

Sergey turned his attention to methods

of exerting psychological influence on people.

Because that's what everyone does

when they're unemployed, right?

He attended courses in Moscow

and delivered his first sermon

from a small TV studio in Siberia.

But it wasn't any old sermon.

Sergey, having allegedly undergone a spiritual awakening

after receiving a message from God,

proclaimed himself to be the reincarnation

of none other than Jesus Christ.

Go big or go home, I guess.

Against the backdrop of the disintegration of the USSR,

which meant newfound freedom of religion,

Sergey had been sprouting ideas

about the approaching end of the world,

which absolutely entranced people looking

for a sense of purpose.

Sergey renamed himself Vissarion,

meaning he who gives life,

and traveled across Russia

to gather followers using his calm, charismatic demeanor.

By 1994, Vissarion had set up a commune

near Mount Sukhaya in Siberia.

And before long, the Russian Ministry of Justice

had officially registered Vissarion's

Church of the Last Testament,

which combined elements of the Russian Orthodox Church

with Buddhism and Apocalyptism

as a legitimate religious organization.

Over time, about 5,000 people settled at the commune.

It was a tranquil, idyllic immunity.

Or so it seemed.

Things began to take a dark turn

when Vissarion started to impose prohibitions.

Meat was banned, as was all animal protein.

This was because, according to Vissarion,

every time an animal is slaughtered

an aggressive energy remains in its cells,

thus making it inedible.

Next, he got rid of sugar, vegetable oil, tea,

and a whole number of grains.

But that's not all.

The members of the commune were forbidden

from seeking any medical assistance,

leaving all healing up to Vissarion's prayers.

And the children were prohibited from attending school.

This was justified with the argument that,

given the supposedly rapid approach of the end of the world,

education meant nothing.

However, as the years passed,

Vissarion and spoke less and less

about the end of the world.

Until, finally, people just kinda forgot about it.

Still, they didn't leave

because they had nowhere else to go.

Little did they know,

their secluded little world was about to fall apart.

In 2018, government officials opened an investigation

into the untimely passing of two infants within the commune.

Both children had succumbed to pneumonia

and all because they were forbidden

from seeking medical help. (bright music)

After this discovery,

a string of legal investigations ensued,

uncovering misdeeds ranging

from psychological manipulation to property fraud,

illegal land use, and deforestation.

In September, 2020,

teams of the Federal Security Service

were deployed to the commune,

where they arrested Vissarion

and his closest council members on charges

of inappropriately running a religious organization,

with possible additional charges

of physical harm to others and extortion.

As of now, the leaders remain in custody, awaiting trial.

I guess we'll see if Vissarion's Jesus Christ superpowers

can get him out of this one.

It's a twin thing.

On a Sunday morning in May, 1957,

the residents of the small town of Hexham, England

saw a woman driving erratically

through the streets. (car roaring)

Her out of control cruising ended

when she crashed into a wall (car thuds)

along the sidewalk,

resulting in the tragically untimely demise

of three children on their way to church.

The woman was arrested

and the parents of 11-year-old Joanna Pollock,

her six-year-old sister, Jacqueline,

and their friend were left devastated beyond belief.

One year later, John and Florence Pollock,

Joanna and Jacqueline's parents,

welcomed a pair of twins into the world,

named Gillian and Jennifer.

Immediately, they noticed an eyebrow-raising coincidence.

Little Jennifer had two birthmarks,

one on her waist and another on her forehead,

in exactly the same positions as the birthmark

and scar Jacqueline had possessed.

But that wasn't all. (bright music)

As the twins got older,

they began to ask for toys their late sisters had owned,

despite having never seen the toys before.

And when the twins started

familiarly pointing out landmarks

their sisters had frequently visited,

despite never having visited themselves,

their parents started to get weirded out.

Especially since, on top of all that,

both girls were terribly afraid of cars.

Gillian even upped the creepy factor

by cradling Jennifer's head one day.

And when asked why she was doing it,

she insisted a car had hurt her sister there.

The twins' parents were soon totally convinced

that Joanna and Jacqueline had been reincarnated

as their twin sisters.

But was that really the case?

Skeptics point out that the twins

could have absorbed a lot of knowledge

about their deceased sisters without even realizing it.

After all, they were born a little over a year

after the tragedy,

when their sisters' passing

was still a massive emotional force

in the Pollock household.

There's also the fact that John Pollock

had always been a fervent believer in reincarnation.

He often prayed for proof that his daughters could return.

And when Florence fell pregnant with twins,

he was already convinced they were his lost daughters.

John and Florence may have been subconsciously looking out

for things, be it behaviors, birthmarks, or otherwise

to confirm their hopes.

And the twins could have unknowingly internalized

their parents' desperate belief in reincarnation.

Gillian and Jennifer's past life memories stopped

around the age of seven.

For the most part, that is.

In 1981, 23-year-old Gillian had visions

of herself playing in a sand pit in a garden,

the description of which perfectly matched the garden

of the house the family had lived in

when the then-alive Joanna was three.

Which was, of course, years before Gillian was even born.

Was Gillian still receiving snippets of her sister's life

or were her parents taking her words

and trying to make them fit their experience

in desperate hopes of a sign from beyond the grave?

Well, I'll leave that up to you.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

And if so, what convinced you?

Let me know down in the comments below
