1957 Pollock Twins case

11 year old Joanna Pollock and 6 year old Jacqueline Pollock from Northumberland
were killed in a car accident in 1957. Their father believed in reincarnation and hoped that his daughters will be reborn again as his children.
In 1958, the mother of the two dead sisters gave birth to twin daughters. The twin sisters were named Jennifer Gillian. Then strange incidents started to happen to the family. The family moved away to live in a different place when their daughters were under six months. When they came back to their old home, their daughters were four years old; the twins recognized the previous home and school of their dead sisters.
Jacqueline had a scar mark on her forehead above her right eye. Jennifer had an unusual white scar mark in the same place with the same shape. Jennifer had a red-brown mark on her hip like her sister Jacqueliene.
The twins knew the names of the dolls of their deceased sisters. Gillian liked combing her father's hair, even Joanna used to comb her father's hair.
The case of Pollock twins was reviewed by the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry after a well known parapsychologist claimed that the twins could be reincarnations of their departed sisters killed in car accident.
In 1966, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that an Indian professor traveled to England to visit the girls for his research on Parapsychology. The story was also published in 1966 issue of The Illustrated Weekly of India.
Vincent Gaddis mentioned the case in his book The curious world of twins in 1972.
