Her tale began in 1806 when Bridey was eight years old and living in a house in Cork. She was the daughter of Duncan Murphy, a barrister, and his wife Kathleen. At the age of 17 she married lawyer Sean Brian McCarthy and moved to Belfast. Bridey told of a fall that caused her death and of watching her own funeral, describing her tombstone and the state of being in life after death. It was, she recalled, a feeling of neither pain nor happiness. Somehow, she was reborn in America, although Bridey was not clear how this event happened. Virginia Tighe herself was born in the Midwest in 1923, had never been to Ireland, and did not speak with even the slightest hint of an Irish accent.

Anything is possible, but basically I don't believe in reincarnation.
However I do know that in my (most recent) past life I was the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
And before that I was Marie Antoinette.
Very odd. In all my previous incarnations I seem to have been a female of royal blood...and I always came to a bad end.
Maybe my current commoner status has broken the "curse"??

I believe it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said something like, "I don't think it would be any stranger for me to turn up in another life than it was for me to turn up in this one."Comment

Rather against my will..
And any common sense, logic etc that I might hope to posess - Yes.
Interesting that whilst most people have remained firmly on the fence here, the poll results show that most have also voted 'yes'. Hmm.

Well..
That's not strictly true. Reincarnation was part of early Christian teaching but disappeared with the establishment of orthodoxy. It's all a great mystery, I think. Jane xComment

Good for you Rain but i prefer to keep studying the paranormal until i find proof.

I agree, Jane. It's a great mystery. In addition, the history and development of Christianity was more complex than many people understand. I don't pretend to be a Biblical historian, but I know that different congregations and Christian leaders had different ideas. Some early Christians may have believed in reincarnation, and there are passages in the NT which strongly suggest a belief in a pre-life, or pre-natal existence, and reincarnation.
Here is an example of scripture suggestive of reincarnation.

'The Lost Secret of Death'
For anybody who has ever pondered the nature of Human Life, Human Death, and the Human Soul,
I highly recommend a book by Peter Novak called 'The Lost Secret of Death.' It's an absolutely fascinating exploration of the "Dual Nature" of the human soul.
It's the only book I've ever found which manages to unite a multitude of the world's seemingly disparate views of the Soul in a manner which illuminates the actual nature of our existence AND our experience after physical death.
Novak explores many historic religious perspectives- Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Ancient Egyptian, Native American, etc., as well as modern Scientific and Psychological theories, and shows that they may all be attempting to describe the same incredibly profound human experience from a slightly different angle.
In other words, these faiths and sciences are not mutually exclusive, but mutually true.
The first link is to Novak's website; the second link offers a couple of reviews of his book; one is by a PhD. This book is the follow-up to his book called 'Division of Consciousness'.
Note: This isn't a book one can read quickly or skim through. It's beautifully written, but sometimes the implications of a single sentence are so profound that you may have to set the book down for a little while and let the meaning sink in.
*I promise if you read it your mind will expand so much that you will go up one full hat size!
