On a Sunday morning in May 1957, two young sisters were walking to church in the small English town of Hexham when tragedy struck. Joanna Pollock, who was 11 years old, and her 6-year-old sister Jacqueline were hit by a car and died right there on the street. The driver was a woman dealing with serious mental health problems who was trying to end her own life. A friend walking with the girls also died in the crash. For their parents, John and Florence Pollock, the pain was almost too much to bear.
John believed strongly in reincarnation, even though he was Catholic and most people in his church did not agree with that idea. Florence thought the whole concept was nonsense and got really upset when John kept saying their daughters would come back to them somehow. They fought about it so much that Florence almost left him.
