In May 1957, tragedy struck the quiet English town of Hexham when two young sisters, Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock, were killed on their way to church. On May 5, 1957, a speeding car veered onto the pavement, killing the girls, who were 11 and 6 years old when they died, and their young friend.
The driver was a local woman reportedly struggling with mental illness, making the loss particularly traumatic. This tragic event became the backstory for one of the most famous modern cases linked to reincarnation.
