True Life Tuesday: The Pollack Sisters

Many people feel like the story of the Pollack sisters proves that reincarnation is real. However, many others feel like it is just either strange coincidences or the imprint of parental grief.

On Sunday May 5, 1957 sisters Joanne (11) and Jacqueline (6) were walking to church with a friend in Hexham, England. A suicidal woman who was under the influence of many drugs hit the three children. The sisters were killed instantly and their friend died en route to the hospital.

The girl's parents - Florence and John - fell into depression dealing with the grief over their loss. Eventually John stated that he believed that the couple would have a set of identical twin girls who would be Joanne and Jacqueline reborn. He ended up being right and on October 4, 1958 Florence gave birth to twin girls they named Gillian and Jennifer.

Not long after their birth the parents noticed some strange coincidences between the twins and their deceased sisters. Jennifer had two birthmarks - one on her hip just like Jacqueline had and another that matched a scar Jacqueline had from when she fell off a bucket. The girl's personalities matched their sisters. When the girls were very young the Pollack's moved away from Hexham. After a few years the family moved back. The twins knew the lay out of the town including the school the deceased sisters attended. Another thing that people point to prove that the twins were the reincarnation of their sisters was that both girls had a strong fear of cars. They would have nightmares of being hit by one. 

Florence did not want to believe that this was the reincarnation of her deceased daughters because of her Catholic faith. Around the age of 7 the girl's memories of their past lives began to fade. However, during interviews in their adulthood they stated that they did believe that they were their sisters brought back to Earth.
