Do you believe in reincarnation? What about rebirth? The recycling of souls into new bodies? If not — you just might change your mind after hearing about the story of the Pollock Twins and their family.

Let’s begin this story with some history of the Pollock family — because it all starts with them.

John and Florence Pollock met and married in the early 1940s in North East England. John Pollock was a devout Catholic and encouraged Florence to embrace Catholicism as well. Because she loved her husband dearly and wanted to make him happy, she did.

Interestingly enough though, even though John was dedicated to his religion, he often wondered about the idea of reincarnation. For those of you who are not familiar with the Catholic religion, they most certainly do not believe in reincarnation. You either go to heaven or hell for eternity once you have passed on — or you wind up in purgatory, but you do not come back to this Earth in a new body. For John to have such a curiosity about reincarnation, really went against all that he was taught to believe. It was an idea that he often thought about even as a child, but he had no idea he would encounter a real-life reincarnation experience as an adult.
