1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,760
Music

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,440
Hidden away high above the University of London is a library that few ever get to see.

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,520
Its books explore stories so strange they make even the most skeptical. At least wonder.

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,480
There are stories that we can't explain. We can merely present the evidence and leave you to make up your own minds.

5
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:38,480
There is no doubt at all however in the minds of the people who claim to have gone through these experiences

6
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:46,480
they are ordinary people, they come from ordinary places. Their stories are certainly strange. But are they true?

7
00:00:46,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Music

8
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:16,400
He spent a lifetime collecting all these books in his quest to explain the unexplained.

9
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,400
When he died he left them to the University where they've continued to baffle the keenest brains around.

10
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:30,400
Tonight we have two extraordinary stories for you told through drama reconstruction and interviews with those involved.

11
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:39,360
One is about an Irish family separated in childhood and now reunited by a woman who says she's the reincarnation of their mother.

12
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:49,360
But first the naked eye can see stars hundreds of light years away. The most powerful telescopes can see hundreds of millions of light years away.

13
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,360
In all that space is there even the remotest chance that there are life forms elsewhere in the universe which can reach us?

14
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:03,320
And if there are why would they choose to descend on one small town more than anywhere else?

15
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Toddmudden buried deep between windswept Pennine moorlands. Obscure, isolated and the epicentre of UFO activity in the British Isles.

16
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:23,320
A tenth of sightings are around this town alone. Our story begins with the discovery in a coal yard which even now more than ten years on remains a mystery.

17
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Alan Godfrey at the time of Constable in the Toddmudden police force was called to the scene.

18
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Lying on top of a pile of coal was a man, dead.

19
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,280
He had this terrifying expression. I can only describe it as whatever he'd last saw really terrified him.

20
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:52,280
There was no footprints belonging to him, disturbance on the coal. So how did he get up there? I can't work out.

21
00:02:53,240 --> 00:03:01,240
I could see that on the top of his head there were individual burn marks, not the back of the neck.

22
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,240
There was a rather large weeping type of burn and there'd been like an ointment smeared on it.

23
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:15,240
The dead man was Zygmunt Adamski, a retired miner who disappeared five days earlier from a town twenty miles away.

24
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:21,240
The coroner had to record an open verdict. He's still baffled by the questions surrounding the case.

25
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,200
Like what was the substance on the dead man's neck?

26
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,200
This is one of the most puzzling cases that I've come across in 25 years.

27
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:41,200
If somebody proved to me that UFOs exist and that there was one around there at that time and that in some way we could associate it with this case,

28
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,200
then perhaps I might say I'd only raise half an eyebrow.

29
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:53,160
The first UFOs above, Tobmeden, next to what's said to be the highest bus stop in Britain, is the Deer Play Inn.

30
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,160
One night in 1989 the landlady awoke to see an amazing sight.

31
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Well I never took UFOs seriously at all. So one night my husband came into the bedroom and I was asleep and he came in and said,

32
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:15,120
I came into the lounge and I saw this light behind that cottage there. It went right across the moor.

33
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:22,120
It went about fifty miles an hour, came on the car park and lit the car park up like it was daylight.

34
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Absolutely like daylight. I can't believe it. I just don't know.

35
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,120
My husband said to me, well explain that and I can't explain it.

36
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:40,080
A few miles away, at about seven o'clock one evening last August, Joanne Ellige, Sarah Wolffenden and Amy Connolly were out with friends.

37
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:46,080
We were just walking up the road along the road and one of our friends said, what's that over there?

38
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,080
We jumped on the wall so we just got on the wall and had a look and it was just like behind us, just above the forest.

39
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,080
It seemed to be hovering and watched it for about ten minutes.

40
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,040
I can't believe that there was something there that weren't an airplane or a helicopter or anything like that.

41
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,040
We knew it wasn't a normal aircraft or anything.

42
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040
We just couldn't say anything, just kept watching that.

43
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:15,040
But the most extraordinary story must be that of Alan Godfrey, the policeman who made the find on the coal heap.

44
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,040
Five months later he was on duty early one morning when there were reports of cows loose on a council estate.

45
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I've been sent to investigate this herd of cows so I was driving up the road here

46
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
and I was going to turn right up Fernaly Road there to the council estate

47
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
when I could see in front of me up here this object, it looked to be completely blocking the road.

48
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000
As I get nearer and nearer towards this object I could see that it wasn't quite what I was expecting to meet

49
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
at five o'clock or whatever on a November morning in Tomahydyn.

50
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,960
It was diamond shaped, the bottom half of the object was spinning.

51
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,960
It was hovering about five foot off the ground, I could see on the map.

52
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,960
It was about twenty feet wide, fourteen feet high.

53
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,960
I'll try that several times, it just didn't work. I just couldn't contact anybody.

54
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960
So I picked my clipboard up and I started drawing a sketch of it.

55
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,960
And then suddenly I was at the other side of the object and it had gone.

56
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,960
It had, what do I know, 50 hundred yards of folk road driving.

57
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960
What's up? You're not going to believe what I've just seen.

58
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Oh, get in.

59
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,960
OK.

60
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:57,960
So we got out of the car and we examined the road surface which was like a whirlpool dry.

61
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,960
Something really hot had been hovering above that.

62
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,960
We could see all these loose leaves and broken branches there.

63
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,960
So he was convinced something had been there.

64
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,960
We thought it might have gone in this object, wherever it had gone,

65
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960
that might have gone into the adjoining part.

66
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,920
When we got in there we could see these early cows right in the middle of the rugby pitch.

67
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920
They'd been raining all night but there's no hoof prints belonging to them.

68
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920
How have they got that?

69
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,920
They just looked as though somebody dropped them there, you know.

70
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,920
It sounds incredible but Alan Godfrey isn't the only one who saw something

71
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,920
in the same area on the same night.

72
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Another witness was school caretaker Leonard Smith.

73
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,920
When I came round the corner to check the grounds,

74
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,920
I looked up in the sky and this UFO was up in the sky.

75
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Approximately all the way where I later learnt the area where Alan Godfrey had his experience.

76
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,880
I didn't know at the time.

77
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Now the object shot across the valley four times backwards and forwards

78
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,880
and then it vanished over the hills.

79
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Then there's John Porter, one of five other police witnesses that night.

80
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,880
An hour before Alan Godfrey's encounter, he was out searching more land quarries

81
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,880
for stolen motorbikes.

82
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,880
We're walking down the moor from the main road.

83
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Something that told me to turn round.

84
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,840
I turned and the sky was a very cold steel blue light.

85
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,840
It moved in a sweeping arc across the sky about 12 miles I would estimate in one second.

86
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Eventually I went up the road and observed the same cold steel blue light

87
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,840
sweeping away in the low arc towards Toddboarding and that's the last I saw of it.

88
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Despite the support, Alan Godfrey became more and more troubled

89
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,800
by the most puzzling part of his experience.

90
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,800
After it had all happened, I realised that there was half an hour missing

91
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,800
from me drawing the object and me turning up at the other side of where the object had been.

92
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,800
I was really curious, you know, what I wanted to know what had happened in that half hour.

93
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,800
I persuaded him to undergo regression hypnosis and two experiments were set up

94
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800
with two doctors who specialised in hypnosis.

95
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,800
The video, the hypnotic regression sessions were videotaped

96
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,760
and during them Alan fills in the missing time, the gaps in his memory.

97
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Alan describes getting out of his car, looking at the object,

98
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,760
then he sees a light emanating from underneath it,

99
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760
so he gets back into his car, finds his car won't go

100
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,760
and then he's engulfed in a bright white light.

101
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,760
He appears to lose consciousness.

102
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,760
He says everything is black.

103
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,720
He then wakes up in a room where he sees a tall man.

104
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720
He's also surrounded by six small robots.

105
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,720
He's made the subject of some sort of pseudo-medical examination.

106
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,720
In due course he's put back in his car.

107
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,720
After the main initial sighting, I did read quite a few science fiction books

108
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,720
and it is quite possible that that part of the hypnotic regression

109
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,720
has got jumbled up in my mind.

110
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,720
But I must stress that I did see a UFO that night.

111
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,720
No mistake about that, I definitely saw what I saw.

112
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
On this earth I would tell many different.

113
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,720
So are the people of Toppenden receiving visits from outer space?

114
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,720
The town now has its own observatory with telescopes trained on the skies.

115
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,720
We recently had reports of lights moving around in the sky

116
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,720
which turned out to be nothing more than a local laser show.

117
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Also we have to be rather cautious because we live under the flight path

118
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,720
of two major airports, Heathrow and Manchester.

119
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,720
And locally Manchester is a problem in as much as we have lights coming in

120
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,720
on incoming aircraft which give the impression of UFOs in the sky.

121
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,720
It was not an aircraft.

122
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,720
I got into my van and made radio enquiries regarding this.

123
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,720
I still saw the blue light in the sky.

124
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,720
I made enquiries with the Army, the RAF, the Civil Aviation Authority

125
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,720
and nothing was in the sky at that time.

126
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,720
A less conventional theory is that the geology of the area can produce strange sights.

127
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,720
There are many reservoirs and quarries in the Toppenden area

128
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,720
and the local rock has a high concentration of quartz crystals.

129
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Scientists have found that this can produce an electrical signal

130
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,720
and on a grand scale this might turn out to be glowing masses of energy

131
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,720
which can be seen as UFOs.

132
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,720
That's what I saw. That object was real.

133
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,720
If I got out of the car and thrown a brick at it, it would have gone bang.

134
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Strangely enough, even the scientists are now coming round to the view

135
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,720
that the people of Toppenden are seeing something.

136
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Two friends and I were observing and saw an object which had classic flying saucer shape.

137
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,720
We checked to make sure that at the scope we were originally using

138
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,720
didn't have optical defects and there was no problem there.

139
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,720
As much as it's difficult to believe that it was of extraterrestrial origin

140
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,720
to this date we have no rational scientific explanation for what it was.

141
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Before his close encounter, PC Alan Godfrey had been injured on duty.

142
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,720
A hospital consultant said he'd be unable to have any more children.

143
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,720
After his experience the effects were reversed and Alan Godfrey had a son.

144
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Can the human personality survive death and be born again in another body?

145
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720
Not a prospect that all of us would relish but surprising though it may seem

146
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,720
across the globe those who believe in reincarnation probably outnumber those who don't.

147
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,720
Reincarnation is one of the oldest beliefs dating back to 1000 BC in India.

148
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,720
When they're close to death some people in Alaska believe so strongly

149
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720
that they even choose their next set of parents.

150
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,720
A woman whose story we're about to tell believes reincarnation explains the dream she's had

151
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,720
ever since she can remember.

152
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Jenny Cockale looks like any ordinary mother.

153
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,720
Happily married with two children she lives in the Northamptonshire town of Toaster.

154
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,720
But Jenny has always believed that she is also the mother of another family.

155
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:28,720
For as long as I can remember I've had dreams of being married in Ireland

156
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,720
and dying while the children were still young not grown in the 1930s.

157
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Terrible dreams of being alone in a room in pain.

158
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,720
Not at home and knowing that there's nothing I could do

159
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,720
to ensure the safety of the children's futures.

160
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,720
During waking hours I remember happier memories from the life as Mary.

161
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,720
I remembered the children at mealtimes.

162
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,720
But Jenny also sends trouble in the family.

163
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:15,720
I didn't know quite why I should feel so uneasy and so concerned

164
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,720
about what it was that I was really afraid of.

165
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Something I was shutting out.

166
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,720
The memories were a little bit like pieces of a jigsaw.

167
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Some parts were very clear, some parts were vague

168
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,720
and there were so many bits that seemed to be missing it was difficult to try to get the whole picture.

169
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,720
As soon as she could pick up a pencil Jenny began drawing maps of the village she saw in her mind

170
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,720
the main roads, the station and her cottage.

171
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,720
And when she got to school atlas she could even locate where it was.

172
00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:01,720
After several attempts just shutting my eyes and allowing myself to be drawn to a place that might feel familiar

173
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,720
I found that Malahide was named just north of Dublin.

174
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,720
For years Jenny kept these strange visions of Ireland to herself

175
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,720
until at last she could hold back no longer.

176
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720
She had to find out if the memories meant anything.

177
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,720
She began at her local bookshop ordering a map of the Malahide area to confirm her childhood drawings.

178
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,720
The maps matched for Jenny a first glimmer of proof.

179
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Now she needed more and tried hypnosis to plumb her deeper memories.

180
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,720
It sharpened up a great deal of the detail.

181
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,720
There was one of the churches I saw the outside fairly clearly,

182
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,720
clearly enough to make a little drawing afterwards of it.

183
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,720
And standing at the end of a jetty wrapped in a dark shawl,

184
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,720
there was dusk and I remembered waiting for a boat.

185
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,720
But I had no idea who was on the boat or why I was waiting for a boat.

186
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,720
But were these real memories or just an overactive imagination?

187
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,720
It gets difficult to believe that when you see the consistency of the facts

188
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,720
and the findings of the memories between one session and the next.

189
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720
And Jenny's been through several sessions of this at different times

190
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,720
and each time she's been consistent in what she's been telling me.

191
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,720
It was enough for Jenny to invest in a trip to Malahide.

192
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:42,720
This was the first time she'd been to Ireland and yet she felt certain she'd been there before.

193
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,720
I didn't need a map, I knew my way around.

194
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,720
I tried to find somebody who might remember the family,

195
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,720
who might remember the children.

196
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,720
Back in England Jenny received a letter from an old man in Malahide.

197
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Relating to the mother who died in the 1930s, she was Mrs. Sutton.

198
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,720
After her death the children were sent to orphanages.

199
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,720
It was the breakthrough Jenny needed.

200
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,720
She was able to get a copy of Mary Sutton's death certificate

201
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,720
and from an orphanage came the first names of her children.

202
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,720
An appeal in an Irish newspaper then produced a telephone number for the oldest boy, Sonny.

203
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Hello, my name is Jenny Cockale.

204
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,720
I've been trying to trace members of your family.

205
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,720
And I said to my wife, there's something weird here.

206
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,720
So I don't know who this person is.

207
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,720
I said, how did she come to know so much about the family?

208
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720
You said that she remembers about the jetty.

209
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Well, I explained to her that I used to have a little job as a caddy.

210
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,720
And we used to row over to the island.

211
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,720
And in the evening we'd rowed back again.

212
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Thanks very much, Mr. New Agent.

213
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Well, Sonny.

214
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,720
And she'd read me the tablet of steps.

215
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,720
And she used to cuddle me.

216
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Oh, he's all you have.

217
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,720
With Sonny's help the picture has finally become clear.

218
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,720
The pieces of the jigsaw were going in and making things a lot easier to understand.

219
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,720
And most of all he was able to explain to me what I had been afraid of.

220
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720
My mother was a loving person.

221
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,720
She loved her husband and she loved her family.

222
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Can you just read it through there for me again?

223
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720
But my father was the opposite.

224
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720
My mother was only there for the convenience.

225
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,720
He was cruel to my mother.

226
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,720
He was cruel to his children.

227
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,720
He'd come home from the oak and he'd be totally drunk.

228
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Then start busting around.

229
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,720
And the money and money at the time I used to get between him and my mother.

230
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,720
Well, the same with my mother.

231
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Mary Sutton died at the age of 32.

232
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Her children were taken away.

233
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,720
All except Sonny, who had to keep house for his father.

234
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,720
It was very painful.

235
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,720
Because I've lost my mother.

236
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,720
I know what then I was going to lose my brothers and sisters.

237
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,720
And when they were taken away it was very, very hurtful.

238
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,720
Very painful.

239
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:48,720
I knew that I couldn't settle until the family were reunited.

240
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:56,720
That part of me that was Mary needed to see the children happy.

241
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720
One by one Jenny tracked down not only Sonny,

242
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,720
but all the surviving Sutton children.

243
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,720
And a few weeks ago at the home of youngest sister Betty,

244
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,720
they were reunited.

245
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,720
All together again for the first time in 61 years.

246
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720
And now you're back with me.

247
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720
How are you?

248
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,720
Great.

249
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Brothers Frank and Christie.

250
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Phyllis and Sonny.

251
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Unknown to Phyllis, she and Betty had lived within 15 minutes of each other for 40 years.

252
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:33,720
And it's Phyllis who appears in the only photo of their mother Mary.

253
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,720
They're all about to meet the woman who believes she is Mary.

254
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,720
Back from the dead.

255
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,720
Hi Jenny. How are you?

256
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,720
So Jenny Coquelle has reunited a lost family.

257
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,720
But are they convinced she's the reincarnation of their mother?

258
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Priest only lives across from us, Father McCarty.

259
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
And I said, Father send me to the, I want a truth.

260
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720
No, I said, do you believe in reincarnation?

261
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,720
He said, that is the harlequin answer Christie said is,

262
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,720
that your mother is calling from heaven.

263
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,720
I'm just coming through you.

264
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Jenny's dreams are mommy's thoughts.

265
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,720
Basically, my opinion is that mom wants us all together again.

266
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:26,720
And Jenny was the lucky one that she chose and put her soul into Jenny.

267
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,720
That's why I look at her.

268
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
I want to avoid the steps over there.

269
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,720
And to complete the reunion, a homecoming.

270
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,720
Back to the remains of the humble cottage in Malahide,

271
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,720
that the family left after the death of their beloved mother.

272
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,720
She is back again.

273
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,720
I believe that my mother is not passed on.

274
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,720
She hasn't passed over, as we say.

275
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720
The wounds of the years of separation.

276
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,720
The wounds of not known where my brothers and sisters were.

277
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Those wounds Jenny has healed now.

278
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,720
Because now I know where they are.

279
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,720
I know their real life and well.

280
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720
And those are our stories.

281
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,720
I don't think you'd argue about their strangeness,

282
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,720
but whether we believe them is for each of us to decide.

283
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Harry Price spent most of his 67 years on this earth

284
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720
trying to find the answers to such mysteries.

285
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,720
But he didn't gain much public recognition

286
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
and he died in 1948, a disappointed man.

287
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
If he'd lived until today,

288
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,720
he'd have seen more and more people following in his footsteps,

289
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720
visiting psychics, experimenting with hypnosis,

290
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,720
trying to communicate with the spirits,

291
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
or simply just reading their horoscopes.

292
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Yet whatever we do, the truth remains as elusive

293
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,720
and as tantalising as ever.

294
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,720
For now, good night.
